Haas, 1190 Iowa st., Ashland. Photo Rural Reflections , By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - Thelma Jones believes her days are a little huin-drum, but a few rattlers have livened things up. One of the neighborly crea tures crossed her lawn one day, and Thelma, having seen only one other rattler in her life-time, killed him without much to-do. She has recently clubbed a porcupine very successfully, and while visiting her mother, Mrs. W. A. Chllders in Jack sonville, she noticed a rattle snake in the yard and quickly dispatched him. It is said that a rattlesnake in Jacksonville has been unheard of for many years. Speaking of rattlesnakes, 10 or so have been killed on the Straube ranch this summer, some of them behaving most interestingly. One was coiled in Jhe milk barn behind a baby's play-pen that was fold ed against the wall. Another was squeezed in a hay bale, and another was pressed for a light, but he was not inter ested, even after being dug out from underneath a stump.

Phoenix City Council Passes Ordinance To Discourage City's Trailer-Dwellers By HELEN NIKODYM Mail Tribune Correspondent Phoenix City officials are discouraging people from mov ing trailers onto town lots and living in them, according to a "stop-gap" city ordinance passed during Monday night's city council meeting. According to the ordinance, it "shall be unlawful to re side in a mobile home, trailer or vacation trailer in any area within the city of Phoenix except upon a tourist park qualified and certified as such." To reside in such a trailer is defined as using the trailer as a residence for seven con secutive nights or more. Violation of the ordinance is punishable, upon conviction, by a maximum fine of $25. An emergency was declared and the ordinance became ef fective immediately after its passage Monday night. "Frankly, we are just get ting too many cockeyed trail ers in Phoenix!" Mayor Ar thur H. MacKintosh explain ed. "We have some 12 or 15 trailers in there now. They don't pay any taxes other than to the state. We don't think it's fair for trailer occupants to have all advantages of city services without paying their just share of taxes," the may or said. MacKintosh pointed out this Is an interim ordinance which remains in effect until a more PATIO CLEARANCE SALE Buy at cost and below cost on many items 2 months of hot weather left to enjoy these bargains.

During other business the city council hired the legal firm of Lombard and Cottle, Ashland, as official legal counsel for the city effective Sept. 1. The Medford legal firm of VanDyke, Dellenback and McGoodwin has represent ed Phoenix for 10 years. The city council declined to give any official reason for the ac tion other than "this is a good time to make a change." The action was taken dur ing an adjourned meeting of the city council. During its regular meeting on Aug. 1, it set a public hearing for 7:30 p.m. Aug. 22 for annexation of property on the east side of the South Pacific highway between Fern Valley rd. and Coleman Creek rd. and includ ing the Red Barn second hand store on the highway. Walter Bowles, who owns a house and land behind Norton's mar ket, had petitioned for the annexation. $2,577 Received For Eagle Point Building Fund By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - Harold Hans- coin, treasurer of the Eagle Point Junior Chamber of Com- mcrcc, presented n wheelbar row of one dollar bills In the sum of $2,577 to Mrs. David Kahl, treasurer of the Eagle Point Scout Community build ing, at the First National Bank in Central Point Tues day afternoon. Eagle Point Marshal Oran Chastnin went along to help guard the money until it was safely deposited in the bank while Harry Hanscom, presi dent of the Jaycees and chair man of the building commit tee, handed the money to Mrs. Kahl. Harry Hanscom stated that the money represented total proceeds of a logging opera tion and the percentage pro ceeds of the 4th of July food booth and concessions. "I would like to thank Steve Wilson Lumber com pany and Oregon Veneer fori Iheir generosity and the Unit ed States Forest Service for making it possible," Hanscom said. On behalf of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, he j also said he wished to thank me loiiowing people who do nated cither labor or equip ment or both.

They previously have donated about $175 in cash and numer ous miscellaneous Items, along with manpower, toward the community project. Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS Warm, Isn't It? The time is 2:25 p.m. Tues day, Aug. 9, 1960. The temp erature is about 791 degrees and I've had a piece of paper in what remains of my melt ing typewriter for 20 minutes. The Boss walks by, stops, looks at the blank paper and says: "That's very good, Bob. Best thing you've ever done." Since he liked it, maybe you will too . . . But I suppose I should write something. You'll par don me, though, if it's kind of disjointed. One of our reporters came in with a dandy ru mor about last week's Eagle Point irrigation district meeting but it failed to ma terialize. He had it from a reliable source that all members were going to tote canes, a la "Dad" Putman, to the meeting. Apparently they thought better of the idea, but one of the water users liked it so well he's vol unteered to start a "cane fund." Maybe next time? Our wire editor passed this one along: Sign in the back window of a small foreign car: "Quit honking! I'm pedaling as fast as I can." Parking meter ticket writers (you'll pardon the expression) are having iheir troubles in Salt Lake City, according to an Associated Press story carried in one of the Portland papers. Seems a business group has boys pairoling the downtown area in search of overtime parkers. When a "violation" flag is up, the boys put a coin in the meter and leave a calling card for the driver, explaining how he has been saved from a ticket. The card carries the address and phone number of the group so that the driver, if he desires, can have the service performed for him all the time. It sounds perfectly legal, and I just wonder if the outfit is considering estab lishing a branch here in Medford. But maybe it's best they don't. We'd all drown in crocodile tears. Had a letter quite a while back from Robert P. Reed of Ashland. Said he liked the column on the Talent Cafe and welcomed me "to the hap py throng" who have discov ered it. He also advised me to try it on a week day. "On week days, the wait ress is not so silent," said Mr. Reed, "and on Friday she'll even go so far as to ask, 'Swiss steak or fish?' Take it from a patron of 12 years standing, though don't both er to ask what kind of fish!" I'll try it on a week day, Mr. Reed. You have my prom ise. But I'm also curious. What will she say if I ask what j kind of fish? Firelighters Tired ... Of Eating Peaches By MAUDEZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley - When the lightning fires are out and the weary firefighters have come home, there is always a story that hasn't been told, and this is the story of several men very tired of eating peaches. They were on the Craggy fire in the head of Steves Fork, tributary to Carbury creek, and an area so remote that a plane under contract from the Rogue Flying service was sent to drop food and sup plies. Three "drops" were made, one missing the target, and only two cases of peaches reached the men, according to a forestry official. Other sup plies received included water, sleeping bags and a 10-foot cross-cut saw. The fire was an acre in size, and was caused when light ning hit the top of a dead fir snag, and falling embers spread the fire. Pete Gregory, suppression crew foreman from Star Ranger station, was in charge of the crew. With him were Robert Reider, civil engineer from New York City recently placed on the local staff, and Tom Turpin and Ed Graham of Medford, mem bers of the suppression crew. Those returning here from fires in the Wallowa and Whit man national forests in north eastern Oregon and Washing ton were Joe Jenre, Ken Mey er, Byron Peffley and Robert Snowich. Genre and Meyer were on the fire lines and Peffley was a time keeper.

All football games will be played away from home this year since the school's new field is not yet completed. Eleven-man football will be played this season instead of the six-man variety played in past years. The field, however, should be completed by the start of baseball and track seasons in the spring. The underground sprinkling system is being laid now and the turf is expected to be planted soon. Within the next two weeks, a new roof will be built on the gymnasium to replace the one which leaked during last year's hard storms.
