Jones. The "Pioneer" has this to say of the author, Lauran Paine, direct descendant of Tom Paine, American Revolution ary War patriot and writer, is also descended on his moth er's side from Don Pio Pico, last Mexican governor of Cali fornia. "Born and reared in t h e American West, a working cowman by trade and heri tage, Lauran Paine is ac knowledged by Americans as the foremost authority on his part of the United Slates. An outstanding horseman and cat lleman, and historian of the West without peer, cither by blood or ability, he knows first-hand of the things he writes about." "He was present at the last revolution in Mexico In fact was in the slableyard when the rebel leader was shot. He has lived among American Indians, travelled extensively throughout North and South America, and is above all else an authentic American westerner." Among the many books written by Mr. Paine is one entitled, "Conquest of the Great Northwest," which deals with the settling of Ore gon and Washington in the Co- lgmbia river basin area, and of the Immigrants' struggle for the conquest of the In dians in the Oregon territory.

Canvas Needs SP 2-4472 Personally Speaking By JOHN STAFFORD Oregon is a beautiful state and one of the factors con tributing to this beauty is the variety Oregon offers. This was demonstrated impressive ly by an experience we had Saturday morning. Friday night the Rev, King Jones, Jacksonville Presbyte rian minister, called us and Is sued an Invitation to accom pany him and two other Rogue valley newsmen to Ml, Ashland. We accepted imme diately. At 9:30 a.m. Saturday we joined Jones and headed for the mountain. The tempera ture in Medford was nearing the 70 degree mark when we left. By 10:15 we were at Bull Gap, 'IV-i miles from the sum mit. Although we were only 45 minutes and little more than 20 miles from Medford plenty of snow surrounded us, A few minutes after our arrival Thomas Parker, Ash land contractor, and inves tor, descended from the mountain with his Snow Cat, Parker, known as Tom mie to his friends, helped us into the snow vehicle and we started for the top trav eling over about two feet of snow. Parker threw a rope to Jones and he was pulled be hind on skis to the first pla teau. There five other skiers grabbed ropes and were pulled along to the ski area near the summit. , About 15 skiers were merri ly zipping down the slopes of the mountain when we arriv ed. Skiing conditions were termed excellent. Three feet of base snow existed with up to four Inches of powder snow in some places. This, after two days of 70 degree tempera tures at the floor of the val ley. Parker said it would be possible to ski at the location into April. Certainly no more perfect ski setting exists anywhere. From one side of the north slope, Ml. McLoughlin juts up majestically. On the same slope one can view massive Mt. Shasta. The sunny Rogue valley floor can be viewed be low. Fantastic is the only. wordv which adequately do- scribes the view. . As we settled next to a fire tome skiers had built, we looked up to the s'ummit. It looked like it was about a 70 degree angle down from the top.: The skiers told us that this was only a beginner's slope. They said more advanced slopes were steeper and had more mow. Talk of a ski resort on Mt. Ashland has been going on since late in 1960. Primary need for development Is an nll-wenlher road to the site. The Ashland Economic Devel opment commission has pre pared a detailed report outlin ing skiing conditions and pro posed development of the mountain. Tommie Parker lias also had a hand in developing the report, as have many ex perienced skiers In the area. The report was submitted to the forest service and county court late last year. Parker has Indicated he would be willing to finance development of the resort if O and C funds for the road re obtained. Preliminary plans call for about $185,000 lo be poured into facilities. If funds for the road arc obtained, the forest service will put the development up for bids. There Is no guaran tee that Parker will be award ed the bid for the project. This doesn't bother him. He says he only wants to see the area de veloped, regardless of who does the developing. - Meanwhile, ht is taxiing hundreds ol people back and forth to the mountain on his Sno-Cat. Hit attitude seams to be typical of those interested in the project. It is one ol tnlorming and showing as many people at possible the potential exist ing on Ml. Ashland. As Jack Nichols, advisor to the Ashland Economic Devel opment commission says, "We've got a mountain, snow and plenty of community In terest." Eagle Point - The Scout Community building commit tee will meet in the teacher's lunch room of the grade school at 8 p.m. this eveniit);. All committee chairmen and Interested persons are urged j to attend. ' New Happy Camp Doctor Likes Wide Open Spaces Happy Camp - Dr. George M. Chambers shed tears when he left his practice at Covina, Calif., to become a country doctor in Happy Camp last fall. The tears weren't those of sadness, however. "That darn smog's too much," he said us he rubbed his eyes. "Some people have great ambitions to go to the big city. Not me!" said the doctor, born on an Illinois farm. "I've always wanted to be a country doc with plenty of room to roam and without the battle of smog, high taxes, and uncon trollable growth of a commu nity." Dr. Chambers, who had practiced in Covina since 1051, has purchased an 187 farm near Happy Camp, where he will raise 80 head of Black Angus cattle. The opportunity to fulfill his life-long ambition arrived some months ago when the lone doctor In Happy Camp passed away. Chambers im mediately made inquiries about location in Happy Camp. His plans were accept ed with open arms. The doctor, who was grad uated from medical school in 1948, has high hopes of an eight lo 10-bed hospital being built in the area 'and the de velopment of an emergency air strip near Happy Camp. Dr. Chambers and his wife practiced in Sacramento in 1048 and 1949. He then joined the Air Force and served as a doctor in Alaska from 1949 to 1951. Then the family moved to Co vina. "I've always wanted lo live in a place where there was plenty of landscape to raise cattle and my wife has always favored the fragrance of pine trees. At Happy Camp we have both," the doctor says. "And we don't have smog and high taxes." Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - His state meat inspection position notwithstanding, Bill Barker found that, every single fluke in a beef liver had eluded him when he dissected a dis eased liver at a general 4-H meeting at Ruch school Tues day evening. Bill explains that when the animal heat leaves the liver the parasites absent themselves, but he promises lo have some cor raled at the next general or ganizational meeting Jan. 31. The life cycle of the fluke was explained by Dr. R. G. Burdett, of Salem, acting as sistant superintendent of the state meat inspection pro gram, who was guest speaker. He said the parasite lives on snail life for a time and then deposits itself on a cocoon on a blade of grass wailing to be eaten by a cow, after which it makes its way to the liver to complete lis cycle. Dr. Burdett said the meat inspection procedure in the state has expanded since pilot programs began prior to 1057. Now there are 101 slaughter plants Inspected in the stale. Eleven slate veterinarians and 31 part time vets are on the staff In Salem. He described various types of inspection, beginning with examination after an animal has been un loaded at a plant and comes under slate control. It is pos sible for an animal to have a disease which does not show symptoms. The head, heart and liver are carefully ex amined after killing, the Eng lish doctor explained, and may be condemcd. He said recent use ot some medica tions and sprays, such as peni cillin and camphorated oil, can also be a cause of defec tive meat. Among olher duties of the Inspector are running sanita tion checks on 2,000 meat markets in the state exclusive of Portland, checking 40 poul try and rabbit planls and in spection of 400 locker plants tor sanitation and refrigera tion, and Inspection of a few rendering plants. Accompanying Dr. Burriolte was Charles Garret, butcher at Farmers' Packing company of Medford, where Barker Is an Inspector. A number of parents and 4-H people attend ed the meeting. Knttlit Point Rnv KrnnU of Troop 48 will have n uni form inspection and court of honor at 7:30 p.m. In the grade school gym tonight. All parents are Invited.
