ty supervisors, the proposed

Some destruction has been
committed at other forest
camps of the area.
The ranger said coopera

be appreciated, and that dam
ages to facilities cuts down
on money available for main
taining and policing camp
grounds. Collection of camp
ers' debris at the spillway at
the Gcbhard claim, now a for.

Complaints have come from
the Applegate area in general
regarding deliberate breaking
Ft. Jones are the three towns
in the county which have the
self-imposed tax.
"They're crying their eyes
out in Fort Jones," said Ealy,
"because people are going to
Etna and Yreka to shop."
Supervisor Earl Ager (Tule
lake) insisted that the one cent
boost in taxes would drive
shoppers to Oregon, which has
no tax.
W. (Art) Barr, Mt. Shasta
Dunsmuir supervisor, snorted,
"People aren't going to drive
very far to save one cent."
Supervisor Ealy suggested
that the sales tax proposal be
put on the November ballot
so the voters could voice their
preference.
"We don't want 1o force it
down their throats," he said.

Table Rock - The Sams Val
ley fire which was accurately
described in Wednesday's M.
T. was one of the worst from
a damaging standpoint in the
histoity of the Sams Valley
area, and created quite a lit
tle excitement in our local
district as the flames, pushed
by a high wind, roared over
and around the north end of
lower Table Rock and burned
down two homes on the west
side road.
The Straus Brothers' dairy
farm suffered heavy damage
in buildings, hay, and some
uhharvested crops' burned.
along with most of the farm
equipment, which carried no
insurance. We went througn
the fire zone about 6 o'clock
and at that time the fire was
traveling a little north of east,
and seemed to be headed to
ward the business section of
Sams Valley. But before 7,
the wind changed, bringing
the fire around the north end
of lower Table Rock, and
down the slope to within 100
feet of the Don Wheeler home.
Far from spectacular was
something we saw from the
highway as we passed the
Straus farm. A large hereford
cow was wandering around
across the hot and blackened
ground, like she was a part
of the last round up.
According to eye witnesses,
the fire started along t h e
highway near the Hutchison
barn, and was touched off by
a spark from a rotary weed
cutter, operated by a crew
from the State highway de
partment. The whole Sams
Valley area, and some ad
joining districts might have
suffered heavy damage, if it
hadn't been for the fast and
good work of the forest serv
ice, Central Point rural crews,
and neighbors, with bulldoz
ers, spray rigs, and other
equipment.
The Jackson County
Grangeri at their recent pic
nic at Elks picnic grounds
did their best to reduce the
beef surplus, The 500 or
more present devoured

choice white face steers.
This was barbecued by
"Shy" Morthland, and was
at tender as a woman's
heart. Shy, with his long
curve-bladed knife, like the
saber of the pirates of old,
made him look like one.
Benny Peeks, herdsman at
the Table Rock ranch, is at
the Josephine county fair this
week, where he is exhibiting
10 head of registered mixed
hereford cattle, which will be
shown later at the Siskiyou
fair in Yreka, Calif.
A recent ad in the M.T.

Happy got something to bring

tance that he had something.
At a recent session of the
local Sunday tchool, it wat

Four local young people
are attending the Bible youth
camp near Butte Falls this
week.
Our old pine tree is slow
ly dying from the top down.
On making an examination
we found that the ttate
highway crew had cut roots
in lowering the road grade,
one being 17 inches in di
ameter, which most likely
will be the finish of the old
tree, which hat been a tow
ering land mark for more
than 100 years.
Brownie, the cow, had re
fused to eat her breakfast,
and seemed under the weath

over, when the following con
versation took place.
The little niece from Port
land: "Where is her husband,
Uncle Emmett?"
No answer.
"Don't she have a hus
band?" "Yes."
"Well, where is he?"
"Probably visiting in Uncle
John's pasture."
"Why don't he stay with his
wife?"
"He has more than one
wife."
"No!"
"Yes, cattle are not like
people."
