GH Justice Court Had 214 Cases in Last Two Months By MARY KELL Gold Hill Correspondent Gold Hill Norman R. Matteson, justice of the peace, reported 214 cases were handled by the Gold Hill Justice court during the first two months of 1961. He said the majority of these were traffic cases. Others were game and liquor viola tions. Funds derived from cases brought before the court are generally shared by the state and Jackson county, accord ing to Matteson. Matteson assumed his du ties as court judge for a six year term on Jan. 3. He said that since that time he has ob served that many people do not understand the functions of the court. He explained that the jus tice court in Gold Hill is one of two in Jackson county. The other is located in Ashland. The justice court is separate from any city court. He said boundaries for the two justice courts are set up by the Jack- son county court. The Gold Hill court Includes the areas of Rogue River, Gold Hill Prospect and Shady Cove. The court is located on Second ave., next to the new location of the Gold Hill city hall in the former post office building. The downstairs in terior was remodeled to acco modate both the justice court and city hall facilities. Mattesons office is open five days each week, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, and 2 until 5 p.m. Traffic court is' held thr?e mornings each week, Mon day, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 until 12 o'clock. Matteson said cases appear ing in justice court are cited by such agencies as state po lice, game officers, county and state weighmasters, Ore gon Liquor commission in spectors and the sheriff. The court has jurisdiction over traffic, misdemeanors and small claims cases. A felony case can be arraigned in the justice court but has to be tried in circuit court, he said. Other functions of the court are to issue jury sum mons, issuing warrants for arrest and search warrants. Matteson said a justice court criminal warrant can be served any place in the state by endorsement of the court of equal jurisdiction in the county where the defendant may be found. Another function of the jus tice of the peace's work is performing marriage ceremonies.

He pointed out that the council could enact such an ordinance, but the cost of enforcement and con finement prior to disposal might offset the benefits de rived. Councilman Don Patterson said he felt that since the people would have to pay for full time control, they should have the opportunity to ex press their desire by voting for or against the proposal.

"i "Our VulkswitKn Pick-up is out whun uthur pick-ups are Bitting idle," says Mr. Miles Murphy of Graham & Rosa, ranch supply hotiso, Groat Falls, Montana. For gas, oil, and lubrications, costs have averaged only 2.15 cents per mile in all weather. estry from three of their nur series, the trees were of four varieties Arizona cypress, Shasta redwood, douglas fir and an ordinary pine. As of now, one year later, Cummins estimates approximately 50 per cent of the trees are still alive and growing. Strangely enough, it is the varieties in digenous to this general area, the pines and the firs, that are doing the least well. Of the four types of soil in which the seedlings were planted adobe gravel, plain adobe, very gravelly, and sandy-those in the adobe plus gravel are doing the best. As each tiny tree was planted, a shingle was "planted" along side to protect it from wind and too much sun. All have been watered regularly. Many of the Arizona cy press are now between 16 and 18 inches tall, and the Shasta redwoods measure about 10 inches. The firs are about 8 to ' 10 inches high, and the pines about the same.
