Rangers have a name for denuded areas-disturbed soil. When soil has been disturbed by fire lines, logging skid trails and road cuts, a "heal ing" application of grass seed is used. Thirteen miles of roadside seeding and mulching have been completed, according to Neil Suttell, district ranger. A machine is used which scat ters the grass seed, fertilizer, and straw on the cut and fill slopes of new mountain roads. Roadside mulching also de creases road maintenance costs. Seven men comprise the mulching crew which is under the supervision of Pete Greg ory. One hundred fifty acres of clear-cut logged land has just been seeded, which means val uable top soil will be held in place over these areas. In ad dition to the straw mulch two units of bark mulching prod uct have been used, although results are inconclusive due to the question of mechanical application and (he uncer tainty of grass pushing through, Suttell explained.

Tablets Keepthechange Table Rock - A meeting to explain and discuss zoning will be held Thursday, May 5, at 8 p.m. in the Sams Valley Grange hall. The proposed zone will take in most of the farm land on the north side of the river from Gold Hill to a point above Dodge bridge. Bill Duggan, a house build er and member of the county planning commission, is very much interested in the pros pective zone, and would like to have all land owners attend the meeting to offer sugges tions as to restrictions and the general plans for forming the zone, if it is decided to form one. Other members of the planning commission are ex pected to attend the meeting to explain the procedure of forming a zone and to answer questions. A card from Mr. and Mrs. G. L. March of Jacksonville informs us that Aught Shields, mentioned in our recent story about a harvest crew, passed away about a year ago in California. Mr. March lived here when a boy. His father was super intendent of the Sunday school back in the eighties and early nineties, and serv ed as cierk of District 44 lor several years. We noticed In Tuesday's M.T. that the registered Dem ocrats in Jackson county out numbered the G.O.P. regis tered voters. As far as the county clerk can determine, this is the first time in the his tory of the county. We don't believe this is correct, and while we have no figures we do know that in past years starting in the eighties there were far more Democrats elected to public office. We asked R. V. Beal, an old timer, what he thought about this, and he first off said there were always more Dem ocrats here than Republicans. Then we talked to Mrs. Mar tha Gregory, who has spent all her life in Jackson county, and she said back in early dayj the Democrats ran the county, with all county of ficials being of that party. In looking over the re ceipt stubs of the clerk of District 44, some 55 years ago, we found that the clerk's annual salary was $10, the Insurance premium for the school building was $1.60, a warrant for teach er's salary was not paid for lack of funds, and when paid later, 20 cents interest was added. John Nealon, local all-out farmer, with milk, beef cattle, sheep, poultry and hogs, was paid Nov. 5, SI (probably the first whole dollar he ever earned), and some say he still has it, for one month's janitor work. After having a report from Jimmy Fleischer, who had been given the job of patching the roof on the school house, now owned by the local S.S., it was decided to put on a new roof of composition shingles. In his report, Fleischer stated that he thought it would be a waste of money to try to do BOB WALTERS, Regional Editor CORRESPONDENTS!

The vehicle, provided by the L. B. Hall Funeral home of Grants Pass, is stationed at the new fire hall in Cave Junction. The valley had been without amulance service since L. J. Tythcott discon tinued operation of his Valley Ambulance service several weeks ago. Herb Falkenhayen will be the main driver with relief drivers on call day and night. Problem Discussed Stationing of an ambulance here came as a result of discus sions of the problem by the Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce and the local medi cal association. Named to discuss the mat ter with the L. B. Hall firm was Laurence A. Cushing. Ar rangements were made after it was guaranteed that a local driver would be on call at all times. ncaci vc unvcia die nvc .Tnnctinn Police Chief Phil I Kellar and E. W. Grant of O'Brien.

The superin tendent was instructed to call for bids on material and the work of putting on the roof. Charley Hoover was a rectnt visitor at the George Loftin tarm at Beagle, and was surprised at the almost knee high loa banos lotus he saw there, which he said was nearly out of this world, but wouldn't admit it was any better than his. In reading the well written story of the Table Rocks by Fisher in the M.T., our mem ory went back to stories we had heard in the distant past. Most of the M.T. story was as we had heard it, excepting the three treaties. We were only told of one. C.C. Gall, an old-time justice of the peace in Sams Valley, told us that he witnessed the signing of the treaty by General Lane and several Indian chiefs. According to him, they were seated on a log about 100 yards north of the present site of Byrjee bridge. Then there was the story of the three squaws who leaped from the cliff of lower Table Rock to avoid being captured by the white soldiers. This was claimed to be a fact by many old-timers and a few years ago some visitors from Cali fornia asked us to show them the place where they jumped. These people said they were told of the happening by rela tives who had lived here near ly 100 years ago. We were greatly relieved when Informed by our "Out on a Limb" boss that we could toss in all the adjec tives we liked in our col umn, and for the samples he gave us. So we will start in from here by saying it waa a lovely gesture on his part, a beautiful thought, an ex cellent idea, and as he Is having trouble In finding a name for his car, we are going to offer this free sug gestion. Since we don't know whether it's a he or she, we suggest one that will do for either, and we would name it "Collateral." His bank can tell him what it means. They probably know it by that name already. Several from here attended the open house and music pro gram Tuesday night at Jewett elementary school in Central Point. We have borrowed our thought for the day from the column of the Oregon State Grange lecturer, which we think might serve as a warning in these times of stress and strain, not to EP to Ask Loan For City's New Sewage System Eagle Point - The Eagle Point city council reconven ed last week to continue dis cussion of the new sewage lagoon system. Discussion centered on the need for a loan. The council authorized Mayor Ed Putman to act as the city's official representa tive in applying for the loan as soon as possible.
