Rangers Work fo
Control Erosion
In Applegafe Area
Br MAUDE ZIEGLER
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Applegate Valley -A vast
amount of erosion control is
being carried out in the tim
bered mountain areas here by
forest service workmen.
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.

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

Ambulance Now

Mail Tribune Correspondent
Illinois Valley - Ambulance
service is again available in
the Illinois Valley.
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.

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
