Floating a Loan
The city of Ashland has
been invited to enter a float
in this summer's Portland
Rose Festival. The only
stumbling block, not surpris
ingly, is money.
"We were invited last
year," says Mrs. Velma Jones,
secretary of Bard - Town's
Chamber of Commerce, "but
we decided that if we couldn't
do it properly, we wouldn't
do it at all."
Mrs. Jones adds that the
chamber is 100 per cent be
hind the idea, as are many of
the city's organizations. They
feel a float in the festival
would be a good publicity
gimmick not just for Ashland,
but for all of southern Ore
gon.
We told her, somewhat
tongue-in-cheek, that if some
one decides to donate about
$5,000, we'd appreciate hear
ing about it.
"Ha!" replies Mrs. J. "I bet
vou wouldn't appreciate it
half as much as I would!"
Old laws and agreements
which never have been
brought up to dale can be
amusing, or they can create
quite a siir among the in
dividuals affected.
District BC's school board,
reports Doris Hughes, our
Central Point correspon
dent, recently ' dug up an
agreement signed back in
1892. The board managed
lo abide by it right lo the
letter, however.
It staled that Table Rock
school either had to be
maintained or a five-foot
fence had to be built around
the location. If one of these
actions weren't taken, lhe
property was lo be deeded
back lo its original owner.
The only legal step, under
the agreement, required a
little lime and amateur de
tective work, but they final
ly found lhe owner, a Mr.
J. Andreson of San Rafael,
Calif. Andreson now has the
deed.
Then there's the law that
says you can't whistle
"Dixie" while standing on
your head and shooting
marbles in Dustbowl, Kan
sas on Sunday afternoons . .
Seems there was a squabble
(or misunderstanding, as you
prefer) about who really won
that Ugly Man on Campus
contest at Southern Oregon
college last week end.
There were five finalists,
and the students cast their
votes by donating money to
the March of Dimes. The guy
who brought the most money
into the till was to have been
crowned "King Ugly."
But that, we're told, wasn't
the way it happened
Pete Petford, sponsored by
the Mugs, apparently had
edged Les White, who was
backed by Siskiyou hall, the
men's dormitory, by about
$20 or so.
The powers-that-be decided,
after the donations had been
counted, that Petford was in
eligible because Mugs is an
"off - campus" organization.

Heavy Rain, Snow
Helps Northern
California Area
New Greenhorn Dam
Said Filled to Brim
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook - Last week's
rain and snow gave this area
its first good soaking in al
most a year. The rain gauge
on the back yard fence post
shows an accumulated 6.5
inches of precipitation since
the first of the month.
This was enough to bring
up the water level in a num
ber of private wells, and to
soften the baked soil to a
workable point.
Another result of the four
day rains was the filling of
the newly-completed Green
horn dam in Yreka. The 192
million gallonsplus storage
facility was filled to the brim
around 4 a.m. the morning
of Feb. 10.
Cost $600,000
The project, including wa
ter lines, pumping stations
and storage tanks, cost nearly
$600,000 and will insure
Yreka an adequate water sup
ply for the future.
At the regular meeting of
the Yreka city council Feb.
5, the final payment of $48,
305.64 for actual work on the
project was approved.
Bonded indebtedness for
the dam covers $550,000.

Rural Reflections
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Applegate Valley-One local
farmer decided to lead out in
generally improving his place,
and one rainy night burned
down his old barn.
It was something of a job
to start the 50-year-old tim
bers to burning, he said, and
as the barn finally emerged
into blazing embers and
shooting sparks a few passers-
by stopped and seemed to be
in sympathy with the old
building, for they said, "It's
too bad."
This farmer has been read
ing journalistic opinion that
more useless old farm build
ings should come down. His
Herefords are accepting mod
ern ways, too, and Monday
when they were trucked
across country to get their sil
lage, they had tranquilizing
shots so they wouldn't be
nervous.

Two-Week-Old Calf
Swims Across Creek
Tiller It was pouring
down rain and Elk creek
was the highest it had been
all winter, when Gilbert
Bonney noticed one of his
cows was on the opposite
side of the creek from
which she was supposed to
be. The cow's 2-week-old
calf wasn't with her.
After Mrs. Bonney and
son Jerry had searched
frantically for the calf about
an hour, they gave up and
were heading for the house.
Something down creek from
them attracted Mrs. Bon
ney's attention.
Stopping to look, they
saw the small calf scramble
up the slippery bank. It had
swam the swollen creek
with no ill affects.

'Trivial' Newspaper Items
Prove Helpful to Readers
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook - While some
may consider the small per
sonal items appearing in the
regional columns trivial and
unimportant, it has again
been brought to this corres
pondent's attention that they
do serve a useful purpose.
Many readers seem to like
them, and even are grateful
for them.
Only last Wednesday, two
cousins who had lost all track
of each other were brought
together by a small personal
item one had read in the Mail
Tribune.
The item stated that 9-year-
old Gary Rue had been re
leased from Sacred Heart
hospital in Medford and was
recuperating here at the home
of his grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Gosney.
Mr. and Mrs. William
Strowbridge of Medford read
it, and last week drove over
here and called on the Gos
neys. From them, they learned
that Gary's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Elmer (Slim) Rue, were
making their home in Seiad
valley.
Cousins Meet Again
Strowbridge and Rue are
cousins, but had not seen each
other since they were small
boys. Through this small item,
they were able to contact each
other after many years.
This brings to mind a simi
lar incident which occurred
recently.
