Holmes said Thursday night that Oregon would need $150 million worth of new buildings in the next 10 years. He said the logical way to finance them was by long term bonds. Holmes spoke at the West minister Presbyterian church. His November opponent, Secretary of State Mark Hat field, was represented by State Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. Wilhelm opposed Holmes' sug gestion and said pay-as-you-go construction was the best idea. Under a plan in Long Beach, Calif., doctors' fees rise and fall with changes in the cost of -living index.

NEALON Table Rock-One night last week, prowling dogs raided local sheep pastures, killing one sheep and probably two others, which were found a few days later. Chris Hagler, investigator and "executioner," for the dog control board was called in and pronounced it the work of dogs. He seemed to be very alert in trying to protect farm livestock from dogs and promised to answer calls for help at all hours. Victims of dogs have fun from poultry, sheep and hogs to cattle, five cattle being destroyed last year, he said Dogs killed by Hagler aver age about 2,400 a year. He says that due to the rapid increase in the dog popula tion, that if it wasn't for the Dog Control Board they would take the county. Kerby Tant, government trapper, tells us that wild black blackberries are also taking' the country. He says in many places they are so dense that his hounds can't penetrate them to flush out the raccoons. After due consideration and a span of some 50 years as a member of the Republican party, we have changed our registration to become a Democrat, our better half go ing along too. We asked her why she was a Republican and she said it was because we were. Well, that's as good a reason as any, and come to think of it, we registered Republican because father was one. That was a long time ago, when you had to show a re ceipt for paid poll tax, to be eligible to vote at one election. We hadn't paid, so the judge refused to let us have a ballot, but the Republican road boss who was present said it was alright, we could pay it later. Mother's side of the house were all Democrats and since we have served such a long sentence with the GOP we feel we should do a hitch with the Demos, reserving the right to vote for whom we consider to be the best man. If they want to make some thing out of our switching, like they have other switch ers we know of, we will be glad to give other and more specific reasons which' we have plenty of. The local Ladies club, which was scheduled to meet at the home of Mrs. Everett Brown, Wednesday, Oct. 8, has been postponed for one week due to so many mem bers working in town.. i ggrr a Livestock The Jim Fleischer family motored to Mountain View, Calif., last week end for a visit at the Dean Inglis home. Mrs. Fleischer and Mrs. Lnglis are sisters. Mrs. Jess Elder killed a nice fat buck deer while hunting with her husband in the Dead Indian district the first day of the season. So far as we can find out, other local hunt ers have had poor luck or no luck at all. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Nealon were among the rlatives en joying pot luck dinner and beautiful scenery at the E. P. Leavitt summer cabin at Union Creek last Sunday. Silo filling has been finish ed here for the season, with some 500 tofts of ensilage be ing put up for winter feed. Ronald Brood left here Sept. 21 for Ft. Ord, Calif., to go into training as an army reservist. His wife, Harriet, is staying here with home folks at the John Morris home. Clifford C. Leaf, who died recently in Medford, was a former resident here, he and his wife owning and residing on what is now the Ed Taylor farm back in World War II days. The Arden Pinkham family of Central Point are now liv ing in the E. C, Hamilton house on Pumice lane. The three youngsters are going to school in Central Point. Mrs. Pinkham is a daughter of Mr. Hamilton. George Loftin, the Beagle rancher and Texas Democrat, was down this way the other day and informed us that he had put some 300 acres of his ranch land into the soil bank at a fair price per acre. This will be put of production for five years and George thinks by that time the big dam at Lewis creek may be ready to furnish water for his many acres. He says he likes Benson bet ter than he used to and thinks that his idea of taking land out of production may be a good move. A few days later a salesman came along with a new hybrid seed corn that will about double the yield of the pres ent varieties. Then comes along Keith Hockersmith and Carl Hover of the Grange Coop with high powered fer tilizer which if they do what is claimed for them will sure give Benson a surplus head ache.

" Bend May Submit New Tax Base Salem-dTD-Attorney Gener al Robert Y. Thornton said Friday that the city of Bend may legally submit to the voters on a separate ballot at November's election the ques tion of establishing a new tax base. Thornton said it was not practicable to use the state and county ballot in the case since the resolution to submit the question was made too late. Expensive Barge Work Continues Florence, Ore.-OIPB-Salva'ge operations costing at least S5000 per day continue on the Oregon coast off the mouth of the Siuslaw river where a barge loaded with a fortune in packaged lumber is hung up on the rocks of the south jetty. The barge became stranded Sept. 28 after the Tug Klih- yam sank. Several thousand feet of the 1,844,992 board feet of lumber has been washed away but the owners, Sause Brothers, persist in their salvage attempt. Skin divers have plugged a hole in the barge with a mattress and plywood disc, air has been pumped into its compartments and the tug Salvage Chief has five winches attached but the barge has been moved only about 100 feet. The Salvage Chief costs $5000 a day. Five anchors weighing from three to six tons have been lost in the operation so far and they cost from $1300 " to 3500 each. , Doug, of Trail, were callers here Tuesday, picking up some fresh vegetables. Orage said he didn't have any luck so far in getting his yearly buck.
