A Dog's Life
Generally, we're very fond
of dogs. Tall dogs, short dogs,
long dogs, fat dogs and skin
ny dogs.
Saturday afternoon, how
ever, we saw a dog which we
did not like.
It was a poodle, and it was
pink. Very pink.
This pooch, nestled in the
arms of its female owner,
looked pretty silly, which is
an understatement. It also
looked embarrassed, which it
had a right to
It's bad enough to see one
pink pup, but think what
might happen if this sort of
thing became a fad. Some fly-by-night
operator might hit
town and set up a business.
He'd have to have a good
catch slogan, of course:
DYE YOUR PUPPY PINK!
AMAZE YOUR FRIENDS!
WIN NEW ENEMIES!
But let's be objective.
There surely must be a place
in this big, wonderful world
of ours for pink dogs as well
as the people who dye their
dogs pink.
Perhaps they'll dig it soon.
Sam Be II ah. former
Olympic athlete who was
the subject of a feature
story in Sunday's Mail Tri
bune, says he did a brief
stint in the newspaper busi
ness. He covered the 1912
Olympics in Stockholm,
Sweden for one of the Port
land papers.
He wrote several stories
during the games as well as
a wrap-up article after the
U.S. team came home, he
says, and "they printed
very story I wrote and
wanted more."
"Matter of fact," he adds,
somewhat wistfully, "they
still owe me S20 for one
of them!"
Give them ,time, Sam.
You've only waited 48
years.
Last Wednesday, we de
scribed the difficulty most of
our first-time visitors have in
finding the right door out of
the news room and asked this
question: What looks funnier
than a well-dressed gentle
man saying 'Thanks for your
help" and then dashing into
a two-by-four men's room
carrying a brief case?
Mrs. Marjorie Hochstatter
of Medford took the question-

Applegate Valley-It is most

public library and from
membership on the hospital
board was accepted "with
regret" by Ashland Mayor
Richard L. Neill last week,
was, we're told, doing a top

His reason for resigning
was that he had moved out

being appointed to the two
boards, a fact the mayor

overlooked because of Sing

Activities of
Past 8 Months
, Ranger Lauds Public
For Controlling Fires
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Applegate Valley - In re
viewing the past eight months
of activity in the forest serv
ice, Ranger Neil Suttell at
Star Ranger station expressed
his appreciation for the pub
lic's cooperation in control
ling fires last summer.
"It was . a tough season,"
Suttell said, "and with 30,000
visitors using McKee camp
ground and considering hunt
ers and countless other recre
ationists using the forest
areas - supposing they, had
been careless? We wouldn't
have had a chance."
"They did a wonderful
job," the ranger added.
One of the early fall proj
ects included nearly two
miles of range fencing on the
Siskiyou summit to eliminate
trespassing cattle between
Rogue River National forest
and Klamath National forest
in California.
Fencing also was erected
in Glade creek drainage area
as a part of range manage
ment planning. This is a zone
fence which will divide graz
ing areas into very large pas
tures, and will set up deferred
rotation of pasturage.
Spraying of 10 acres of al
der as a range betterment
project also was accomplished
with application of 24-D and
245-T.
Motor Trip
Another project of the sum
mer was a combined motor
trip of 30 forest service men
and members of Oregon State
Cattlemen's association over
the range to discuss prob
lems and to observe brush
fields, timber types, water
trenching, and condition of
cattle.
Rebuilding a portion of
Carbury road was accom
plished this winter. The proj
ect was attached to the Steve
Fork timber sale, and was
completed by the Double Dee
Lumber company with Bob
Jacks of Gold Hill doing, both
the road and 'logging .con
tracts. '
Further construction of Car
bury and Thompson ' creek
road sections , will bring the
road to acceptable standards
as timber sales progress. Log
hauling on the present forest
road is unsafe in competition
with recreational traffic, Sut
tell said.

uty state fire marshal, made

7. He advised everyone to
help get names on the peti
tions as soon as they were '
