Prospect Rangers
Ship Trees to
Forestry Meeting
By FRANCES RING
' Mail Tribune Correspondent
Prospect-An interesting as
signment recently received by
the Prospect Ranger district
was the preparation of live
trees for the Fifth World For
estry Congress in Seattle.
A total of 85 different spe
cies of trees native to the
United States are to be plant
ed. Delegates from 85- coun
tries will plant the trees in the
University of Washington ar
borteum during the first week
of September.
Prospect Ranger District
has been assigned the job of
liftine. balling and boxing
ready for shipment one of
. each of the following species:
sugar pine, Jeffry pine, west
ern white pine, Shast fir and
madrone. The trees are to be
4 to 6 feet high and shipped
balled in wooden boxes.
Selection, balling and nurs
ing of the trees has been as
signed to Orchardist Bill Rob
erts under the supervision of
Ranger Doug Baker. The most
difficult part of the Job is
the actual lifting and balling
of trees in the forest.
Extremely dry weather cou
pled with the loose pumice
soil requires watering of the
tree roots with a pumper be
fore work is started. After the
trees are boxed they must
have shade and a continuous
mist of water on the foliage
during the heat of the day.
The" trees were shipped to
Seattle today.

The Rivalry
Since arriving in southern
Oregon last fall, I've heard
considerable talk about the
"heated rivalry" between
Medford and Ashland. Or Ash
land and Medford, as you pre
fer.
There's certainly a rivalry
of sorts-there's bound to be
In any two cities located so
close together. The heated
part, though, is another story.
Most of the heat comes from
relatively few sources.
Sources of hot air, natur
ally. Anyway, I've heard and
seen enough to form my own
conclusions, the primary one
being that the whole thing is
pretty darned silly.
Both cities could use criticism-constructive
criticism
- on certain points. But
that's not the kind that's
publicised.
Take the publisher of the
Ashland newspaper, for in
stance. He writes front
page column a few times a
week. When he refers to
Medford (he usually calls it
"Smoggy Bottom"), you can
bet what he has to say won't
be designed to cement rela
tions between the two
towns.
Last week, after attend
ing meeting concerning
plans for signs along the
new freeway, he concluded
with the expected kick-in-the-teeth
for the Pear City.
He quoted a "veteran coun
ty official" as saying, "Med
ford is the ding-blasted town
I've ever seen, They are al
ways scared to death that they
won't get every last thing they
can."
'I, too, have noticed that
trait," said the publisher's
column, "and I think I can
explain it."
His "explanation" follows:
"After all, Medford is a
young town by comparison to
Us neighbors such as Jackson
ville and Ashland. By bulling
and shoving and hauling, it
has managed to snatch, grab
and otherwise acquire the
biggest and most of every
thing the county has to offer.
With one possible excep
tion. Like the nouveau riche,
it seems to have failed to ac
quire the culture and social
graces that make living truly
worthwhile here in Easy Val
ley." I don't think the business
about b u 1 11 n g, shoving,
hauling, snatching and grab
bing requires much com
ment. Sour grapes.
But thai last paragraph
interesii me. According to
the writer, the people of
Medford 'have advanced
only slightly since the days
of Alley Oop. Medfordltes,
in short, are clods.
These Medford "clods,"
however, have shown sur
prising interest in such
things as the Shakespearean
Festival and Southern Ore
gon college. I doubt that
even the Ashland publisher
will dispute the (act thai
they give as much moral
and financial support to the
Festival and college as do
Ashlanders. Probably more,
simply because there are
more people in Medford.
Each city has much to offer
and most people, fortunately,
are content to take advantage
of what they please in both
communities. In addition to
the Festival and college, Ash
land also has one of the nicest
parks I've ever seen.
Medford, on the other hand,
is larger and naturally has
more stores and, consequent
ly, a greater variety of mer
chandise. Both cities have
beautiful residential areas.
What puzzles me is why
some people insist on sniping.
For them, it has to be "all
good" on one side and "all
bad" on the other.
It's not really a punle,
though, in the particular
case of the Ashland pub
lisher. He's In business to sell
newspapers.
And he's obviously not
above a little "bulling"
himself.

Plans Progress
For Happy Camp
Lions Carnival
By HAZEL DAVIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Happy Camp - Plans for the
Happy Camp Lions Club Car
nival v over the Labor Day
week end are progressing rap-
Idly, according to Chairman
Herbert McCann.
Lumber for grandstands
and booths has been donated
by Siskiyou Mills through the
firm's general manager, Rob
ert Hardy.
Some of the biggest attrac
tions will be the games and
booths sponsored by the club.
The Boy Scouts will have a
booth set up for soft drinks
and they will use proceeds to
help in their activities. Plans
are being made for the uiri
Scouts to have a cotton candy
and popcorn booth as they did
last year.
The carnival will again be
held on Indian Creek st. in
front of the barber shop.
Saturday night the firemen
are putting on a street dance
and music will be by Slim
King.
The S and D Amusement
Co. of San Francisco has been
contacted for the donkeys for
the donkey baseball game Sat
urday at the elcejentary
school grounds. Children's
games also are scheduled for
Sunday at the elementary
school under the direction of
"Red" Orrell.
Entries for the boat race
Sunday and Monday down
tile Klamath river from the
Swallows resort to Clear
cree have been slow coming
in. An additional $50 has been
donated by merchants to bring
the total prize money to $650.
Entry fee is $10, and any type
of manually operated boat
may be entered in the race.
For more information, en
trants should contact George
Walters of Happy Camp.
According to McCann, mer
chants and mills have been
most generous In donating
prizes, money and material
toward the carnival and boat
race.
McCann said Al Bligh of
Yreka should be commended
for keeping the Lions club
banner which is hanging over
the main street of Happy
Camp in such fine shape. Or
rell and Al Swaim put it up
and they hope a big wind
doesn't turn it over before the
big week end.
Proceeds will go towards
the Boy Scout's building fund
which the Lions club has set
up. The club has leased 14
acres of land from Siskiyou
county and nearly all ma
terials for the building have
been pledged by local mer
chants and businessmen. Only
the costs of labor and plumb
ing remain for the club to
raise, stated McCann.
oring Harold T. "Bizz" John
son, U. lb. representative for
the 2nd California district
which includes Siskiyou and
18 other counties.
Judge George Tyler was
master of ceremonies and Su
pervisor Bill Ealy introduced
Rep. Johnson.
Johnson said it took 21 days
to make a circuit of Siskiyou
county alone. That there are
400,000 people in the second
district. Next January there
will be seven new congres
sional districts and a reappor
tionment for seven new seats.
The district should remain "as
is" for there is execellent co
ordination between the local
and federal government, he
said.
Johnson said the over-all
appropriation bill is about
what the President asked for.
Speaking of the foreign aid
budget, he said "How much
good it does remains to be
seen."
"In relation to the- loan pro
gram, he continued, "regard
less of the build-up and re
sult in Cuba, we must con
tinue all the same to raise
the standard of living and
still keep our friends."

holds the wheelbarrow and at left is Eagle
Point Marshall Oran Chastain. The money
represents total proceeds of a logging op
eration and percentage proceeds of the 4th
of July food booth and concessions.
Appropriated for the high
way system was $27 billion.
He said this must be contin
ued, then operated on a pay-
as-you-go basis.
Johnson claimed the natur
al resources of Siskiyou boun
ty are the greatest in the U.S.,
with timber the number one
industry. .
The National Park service
can be carried out with in
creased funds, he said. It
hopes for $15 million the next
few years. Yosemite Park
gate receipts were between
$8 million and $9 million last
year. National Forest service
is almost self-sustaining at
present, he explained.
Only appropriation for
mines was a small amount
for the coal industry. There
were allocations for several
minerals in Africa that could
have been produced in the
U. S.
"Whoever is in the White
House in 1961," Johnson con
cluded, "is confronted with
serious business which affects
all industries. We must de
velop a market for our own
products or unemployment
results. What can be done in
1961 is the question."
