D SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 12. 1961 MEDFORO MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. ! Competition Noted In Bidding for BLM Timber in District Clnnsiderable comDeti lion was displayed in the oral auc tion timber sale neia Dy xne Medford district of the bureau of land management Thurs day, according to John A. Car negie, district sales officer. j The 12,432,000 board feet of timber on the four tracts ' offered for sale brought a total bid of $291,882.90. There was strong competition for three of the tracts. The fourth tract was sold without competitive bids. Prices for Family Council Editor'.

Adeline H. - I've been on cruises and I hale them. William H. - I've just won a drawing on a South Ameri can luxury cruise for two, but mv wife doesn't warn to go I hate going alone and I cer fainlv can't Invite another woman. Taking my brother-in-: law doesn't appeal to me eith er. Addie tells me to sell the. tickets and use the money to cop more of the. U.S.A. one has a fear of boats and water, and a dislike of cruises ever ' since an eight-day trip we took ten years ago. She spent ' the whole time, then, being -seasick in the cabin, and checking off the days until de barkation. " I'm trying to persuade her to come. I found out that the cash we'd get in exchange for the reservations would be only a small percent of the value, and wouldn't get us further than Ohio. As for her comfort, there are good sea sick pills and tranquilizers' these days. 1 It's a shame to waste my lucky number, How can I make Addie change her mind? . Adeline H. - That may have been a lucky number lor Bill, hut. it's an unlucky one for me. The only part of a cruise I like is netting oil tne Doau Oceans look awfully good to me from a beach chair at Asbury Park or a board-walk at Jones Beach - that is, from terra flrma. I can't see any pleasure in having the ground beneath your feet rocking back and forth for three weeks, and a ship's motor chugging in your cars all the time. Besides,' there are those "cruise activities"! Most of the passengers get the ground rolling beneath them before sailing-time, whnt with all the drinking. And the clothes! I don't feel like stocking up with dresses for the Captain's Dinner and the stateroom cocktail parties. Yet without them I'd look like a hick. The Council: Bill should go - preferably with Adeline. But her refusal shouldn't deter him. . He has a chance for a memorable experience. He and Adeline aren't the first couple who, though devoted and loy al, still retain individual ideas about "what's fun." On dry land, perhaps, they're insepa rable. For this cruise, let's pro nounce them "separable." Nevertheless, we urge Ade line to reconsider. Her reasons are subject to doubt or, if valid, to remedy. While she disagrees with the shipping line's slogan, "Getting there is half the fun," she might agree that the oilier half - being with her husband - makes the rest bearable. Since she's eager to see new places with him, she might keep in mind the half-dozen stopovers these cruises offer in exotic, rock botlom, non-rocking portsl Also, it takes all kinds to make up a passenger list, and the chances are that Adeline will find several kindred souls in the catch-all. There'll be the non-drinkers and the non-dressers - uppers, as well as the professional escapists,' and most of the bores find other bores to buttonhole the first day out. But if his wife still refuses to pack a few tablets to ward off motion-sickness and step aboard, Bill has several alter natives. He could invite a rela tive or friend, cither a bache lor or one whose wife would n't mind. There are such. Or, he might take no one and enjoy spreading out in a two cabin stateroom all by him self. Finally, he might accept cash for the unused half, and risk having a stranger share his quarters, although this is the least desirable solution. All we can say to Adeline if she chooses to stay behind, is what the audience used to yell to contestants on "Take It or Leave It": "You'll be sorry " She's passing up some techni the Douglas fir ranged from $21.60 per thousand board feet to $33.25. In the. first sale, Eslremado and Sons of Gold Hill was the highest of three bidders com peting for 1,237,000 board feet of timber located north of Butte Falls in Jackson county. The bid included the highest offer of the day, $33.25 per thousand for the Douglas fir and the total bid was $33, 738.65. The competing bid ders were Everett Cushman and Harry Webber. Oregon Veneer company of White City offered $28.50 per thousand for Douglas fir and a total of $146,232.45 for the sale to top the highest offer made by Medford Corporation for 6,105,000 boerd feet locat ed southwest of Prospect on the south side of the Rogue TOO LITTLE SNOW Hayward, Wis. - lUPD - The manager of a Wisconsin ski resort said that lack of snow in the northwestern seclion of the state may cause a one million dollar loss in the area this winter. Gov. Gaylord A. Nelson has been asked to de clare parts of the territory a disaster area so that ski slope owners can get low-Interest federal loans. A tract containing 4,970,000 board feet located west of Williams in Josephine county was purchased by Southern Oregon Plywoods, Inc., of Grants Pass without competi tion for $108,453.30. The Douglas fir on this sale brought $21.60 per thousand. Freeman Higginbotham of Grants Pass bought 120,000 board feet of salvage timber located south of Murphy in Josephine county for $3,458.50 with a bid of $29.25 per thou sand for the Douglas fir. Don ald Andresen was the unsuc cessful bidder for the tract. , On March 9, the Medford district plans to offer six more tracts of timber for sale. These contain 24,075,000 board feet Dellenback Carries Name Change Bill Salem - (UPD - The Oregon House Friday passed a bill 43 9 that would change the name of Oregon State College to Oregon State University. It goes to the Senate. Rep. John R. Dellenback (R-Medford) carried the measure, HB 1262, saying educators believe the name change would make a valuable contribution to the school by enhancing its prestige. of timber which is appraised at $505,611.35, according to Carnegie. Five of the tracts are located in Jackson county and the sixth one is in Jose phine county.. Bidding for one of the tracts will be limited to operators who qualify as small business es under the regulations of the Small Business adminis tration, who requested that the tract be set aside for such bidders. This is the first such sale to be offered by the Med ford . district of the bureau, and it will be sold by sealed bid rather than the normal auction procedure, Carnegie indicated.
