Cf.'TJit-fOX now J0 FS iXf, r&' Lai r . Railway Express Office in Hilts Plans to Close Yreka Southern Pacific company and Railway. Ex press Agency, Inc., have been granted permission by the Public Utilities commission to discontinue their Hilts agency and consolidate it with the Yreka office. The PUC also announced this week that a public hear ing will be held in Dunsmuir city hall next Wednesday to consider an application of the express agency to close its Dunsmuir office. The decision to close the Hilts agency was based on re--ports of decreased numbers of trains passing through Hilts since construction in 1927 of the shorter SP route from Black Butte to Eugene via Klamath Falls. Two trains have been go ing through Hilts daily since. Passenger service on the Shasta Valley-Medford route was dropped in 1952. The PUC found that express vol ume in and out of Hilts in 1958 amounted to only 58 parcels with $225 revenue. Cost of Agency The agency cost $6,311 in 1958, according to a hearing April 14 in Hilts and trans ferring elsewhere would cost only $400, with net annual savings of $5,911. The commission said Fruit Growers Supply company, the company town's industry, shipped and received carload freight worth $220,665 dur ing the year, but can seal its own cars and place bills of lading in a box at the station for train conductors to sign. The Hilts station stands on property granted the Oregon California railroad by con gress in 1866. It was acquired by Central Pacific railroad in 1870 and the station is believ ed to have been built in 1887 when the railroad reached Hilts.

A total of 400 stations have been planned for location in the valley to determine the density and pattern of falling hail stones. Meanwhile, Parsons said he needs about 20 hail collectors -people to gather hail stones following a storm and preserve them for research. These vol unteers should call SPririg 3-4779 between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., Parsons directed. "I would prefer people along main traveled roads, and wish to have them distributed throughout the valley," Par sons explained. "They should be people who would be at or near - their homes all the time-probably housewives." To Provide Baskets The Medford Pear Shippers' association, co-sponsor with the Oregon State college ex tension service, will provide the baskets and oil with which to gather and preserve the hail. Collectors are asked to provide containers such as cof fee cans or soup cans in which the hail can be placed in oil and put in either a deep freeze chest or in a freezing compartment of a refrigerator. The announcement was made last Wednesday that the Rogue valley hail research program had been started. The pear industry is interested in the effect of hail on pears and how practical a continuing hail suppression program would be. The forest service will observe hail occurrence and lightning during storms in relation to lightning caused forest fires.
