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.

Central Point-U. S. Nation
al Bank of Portland was suc
cessful bidder for an issue of
$49,811.73 in Central Point
Series 3 improvement bonds
at last night's city council
meeting. A net interest of
3.4493 per cent was included
in the bid
The bid was based on an
interest rate of 314 per cent
for the first three years. Dur
ing this time, the city cannot
call in bonds prior to matur
ity date. After this period, the
rate will be 3V6 per cent and
on any due date the city can
call for any or all outstanding
bonds. The cost of the bonds
will not exceed $9,479.12 in
interest.
Other bidders were the
First National Bank of Ore
gon, with a bid of 5 per
cent and 3V4 per cent for a
net interest of 3.481 per cent.
Maximum interest would not
exceed $9,567.08. Blyth and
company of Portland bid 5
per cent and 3 per cent for
a net interest of 3.816 per
cent. Maximum cost would be
$10,488.81.
In other action, the coun
cil heard a proposal by D. F.
Perkins to increase the pres
ent four month dog control
ordinance to 12 months and
that it be severely enforced.
He stated that he had contact
ed the district attorney for
advice pertaining to his prob
lem and had been referred to
the city council. Kent Black
hurst, city attorney, said that
under existing statutes, the
county dog control officer has
no jurisdiction in incorporat
ed cities, nor could the city
use county facilities without
making some financial ar
rangement. 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.
Chauncey Florey and C. W.
Anhorn of the Central Point
Sportsmen's club presented a
letter offering to trade a piece
of land adjoining the propos
ed site of the new municipal
park for the sewer assessment
against the property where

Student Counselor
Stresses Goals
Central Point - The eighth
grade class of Central Point
Junior High school recently
heard Guy Lutz, student coun
selor of high school-college re
lations from the state system
of higher education.
Lutz discussed a person's re
sponsibility toward planning
his or her own future, stress
ing the importance of good
study habits, and the desir
ability of working for a goal.
Lutz told the students that
the next four years will be
very important for their fu
ture, whether or not schooling
on a college level was antici
pated. He pointed out that un
employment is two times
greater for those who drop
out of high school. He re
marked that one of the major
causes of drop outs among
high school boys was the
ownership of an automobile.
In discussing the wide va
riety of goals for which a stu
dent might work, Lutz said
that whether one planned to
attend college, a trade school,
serve an apprenticeship, or
any other type of training, a
firm foundation of high school
work would be a long step
toward success.
The assembly closed after a
brief question and answer
period.

50 Per Cent of Small
Trees Are Still Alive
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook Correspondent
Hornbrook-At this time of
year, when interest is high in
the planting of tree seedlings,
it might be well to take a look
at a crop planted here one
year age in March and April
of 1960.
A shipment of 1,100 seed
lings, two to three inches in
height, was received and set
out at that time by Postmas
ter Wayne Cummins in the
area around his home on Cot

about Volkswagen Trucks
r . "i
"Our VulkswitKn Pick-up is out whun uthur pick-ups are Bitting

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.

The A. B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit

and establishing rules and methods
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A. B.C.,
of which thus newspaper is proud to

would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known

At regular intervals one of the Bureau's laTg
