" ' The timber was in six tracts which were located through out the district and which varied in size from 9,000 board feet to 7,193,000 board feet. Fir-Ply, Inc., of White City, offered the highest price in the sale for Douglas-fir. The bid of $57.75 per thousand board feet for 2,600,000 board feet of Douglas-fir was made in competition for a tract of 2,987.000 board feet located on Trail Creek in northern Jackson county. The total bid was $157, 166.70, which topped the of fers of four other bidders Also $57.75 per thousand is the highest price paid to date for BLM timber in the Med ford district. R. L. Atkin of Eagle Point made the highest offer for 336,000 board feet located near Butte Falls in Jackson county.

He had been active in the National Guard here, also Colonel Irving wrote. Huson has since moved to Grants Pass after living in Medford for a number of years. No record has been found of County Commissioner Ralph James replacing Coun ty Commission Chester Wendt on the board, the colonel stat ed. Robert Van Sickle was ap pointed to represent the city of Medford on Jan. 15, 1959, he added. The colonel also ad mitted the board hasn't met since September, according to present records, in answer to Miller's questions. The county judge empha sized Friday that-he is not trying to put the National Guard on the spot but is mere ly inquiring into the adminis tration of the armory since it represents "quite an invest ment in local economy." He said he wanted to know who is handling the administration of the armory, how active the advisory board is and why it is not more active. The old armory administra tion board, a separate group from the advisory board, has been relieved effective March 31 and a new board appointed effective April 1, the colonel stated. New board members are 1st Lt. Don M. Ilvie, 2nd Lt. Paul J. Blair, 1st Lt. Richard A. Greer, and 1st Lt. Jack C. Phillips. CaptS. F. Fagone, former commanding officer of a Na tional Guard headquarters company here, may request reappointment and if a va cancy exists his request will be given careful considera tion, the adjutant general wrote in answer to another question from Miller. Fagone has been in the Na tional Guard for 13 years and was one of the original organ izers of the local unit on June 26, 1947. He organized head quarters company of the First Batallion, 186th Infantry. He was commander of that com pany until asked to resign March 3. During the recent "Pentom ic" reorganization two com panies were consolidated into one. The 'Tentomic" plan provides for formation of a rifle company and its support ing units into one unit so each group can support itself for 30 days in battle. The former headquarters and service com pany has been moved to the Willamette Valley. era Jackson county -each re ceived one bfd, the first by Fred Starnes and the latter by Lloyd Oliver of Trail.

The estimated expenditure now is $'60,950, according to Alf B. Mekvold, county school superintendent. The reduction was made possible by the consolidation of six districts involved in the consolidation; Ruch, Griffin Creek, Lone Pine and How ard, were non-high districts. Estimated receipts for the non-high district are $48,000, leaving $12,950 to be raised by a levy. However, Mekvold pointed out, the rural school district tax offset will more than cover the amount of the levy, offsetting the entire amount of the non-high dis trict tax. Pinehurst, Applegate and Evans Valley are the only three non-high school districts remaining in Jackson county. Cypress trees of the Pacific coast grow as high as 100 feet with a trunk diameter of three feet.

Roxy Ann Lanes Construction -To Start Monday (Sea Picture on Pag 1) Construction of the Roxy Ann Lanes, the first part of a proposed sports and recrea tion center off Highway 99 south of Medford, will get under way Monday, Herschel Dixon, Raymond, Wash., has announced. Dixon, with his brother, Kenneth, will operate the bowling lanes. Armin Richter is contractor. The building is being constructed by Crawford-Dixon, Inc., a firm com posed of John G. Crawford, Medford, and the DixOn broth ers. Land for the sports center has been cleared of pear trees. An 18-acre site -has been pur chased for the development. Open in August Dixon said they plan to move to Medford in the near future, and expect to open for business, in August this year. They plan to sell the Union Oil distributorship in Ray mond, Wash., before assuming the operatorship of the lanes. The building, which may cost an estimated $500,000, will contain 24 lanes, with American Machine and Foun dry (AMF) equipment, con sidered the most modern avail able. It also will have a res taurant and a nursery for children. The bowling lanes will take up about three acres of the tract, Dixon said, with the other 15 acres to be developed later. Other plans tentatively call for a roller skating rink, and possibly a swimming pool. No Supporting Posts The bowling lane building is designed with no support ing posts in the bowling area and none visible in the entire building, Dixon said. The wall away from the highway side will be the "knockout" type so expansion can be made without impediments. o Ported Roses No. 1 Grade, patented and non-patented. 30 name va rieties.

The- award followed two days' trial in Circuit Judge James Main's court. The state had offered $14,000 for two tracts, one containing 16.1 acres one for .4 of an acre, to be removed from Corbin's JSunnyside Farm land. Corbin was asking $17,450. (Corbin's original answer was amended from $16,500.) The property to be used by the highway commission in cludes homesites and all of Corbin's yard trees. The con demnation would leave 70 acres to which a road must be constructed. Next in the series of con demnation suits to be tried Monday in circuit court is that involving Richard H. and Genora Long, Rogue River. Their property, located at the meeting of Evans creek and Rogue river, includes 3.8 acres and 700 feet of river frontage. The state has offered $25, 000.

Lowest 1 appraisal made by agents of the Longs is, approximately $34,000.
