library in the old city hall
building.

has been constructed here by
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Macy new
comers to the valley from
southern California, so that

City May Give Old
Hospital to SOC
Ashland The possibility of
donating the old Ashland
General hospital property to
Southern Oregon college
with provision that it be used
for a town-college community
center is being considered by
the Ashland City Council.
The council last night re
ferred the matter to its realty
committee which will study
the possibility and then dis
cuss it with Dr. Elmo Steven
son college president.
The council granted a re
quest by the college for an
extension of its use of the
building. The extension was
granted to Sept. 10. The old

Regional Roundup
by Cl.v. Twikhell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
We didn't really intend to leave out thii column
Monday. It waa just one of those days. The copy got
under a pile of stuff downstairs someplace and never
emerged until it was too late to get it set in type. Oh
well, at least our regional correspondents got some extra
space for their stories.
We had a meeting for all the correspondents last
Wednesday, a fact of which you are probably already
aware if you read R. E. Nealon's "Tablets" column on
this page Friday. So stimulating was the occasion that
your editor was struck down by the flu within a few
hours after the session.
Seriously, I am becoming increasingly aware of the
fact that our correspondents have many interesting
talents. We could devote this column for some weeks to
come exclusively to telling you about them.
One new "talent" that our correspondents are now
acquiring is in the field of classified advertising and
subscriptions. At the meeting Wednesday, those present
were given packets of materials so that they may take
want ads or subscriptions for persons in the outlying
areas. Correspondents who were not present Wednesday
will receive the materials through the mail shortly.
Whert'l Freddie?
Lauraine Laws, our Rogue River correspondent, is
having trouble finding her pet skunk "Freddie." He
wandered off from their home about three weeks ago
and hasn't come home. A couple of people have seen
him since then, Lauraine reports, but they were afraid
to go after him for fear of his scent. They needn't have
worried. Freddie has been de-scented.
Watch That Snake
Bertha Hanscom, our Phoenix correspondent, re
minds us that it's time to look out for rattlesnakes
while on fishing, rock hunting or hiking excurisions.
"I'm afraid of snakes," she says, "so if you ever see a
streak of blue jeans and yellow hat flash by, that's me."
Out of the Hospital
We're happy to report that Velda Barr, our Prospect
correspondent, renowned cow chaser, etc., was discharged
from Sacred Heart Hospital last Sunday. She had been
there since the night of April 23 when she broke her leg
while attempting to chase her cows back to the barn.
News From Siskiyou
Happy Camp Book
Circulation Jumps
Happy Camp -The circula
tion of the new Happy Camp
Branch of the Siskiyou Coun
ty Free Library has been set
at 40 books during the first
two weeks of April. This fig
ure represents a significant
increase, since the annual cir
culation at the former branch
library here was only 900 a
year.
The new Librarian here,
hired by the Siskiyou County
Free Library, is Miss Rena
Gunter. The hours for the li
brary are from 3 p.m. to 5
p.m. each week day, and
Tuesday and Thursday eve
nings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
These evening hours have been
started just recently, since
the demand was greater than
what the afternoon hours
could handle.
In addition to Miss Gunter's
services, volunteer librarians
have been on duty with each
volunteer taking one day of
the week to help at the li
brary.
Volunteers are: Mrs. Elaine
Johnson, Monday; Mrs. Har
old Kuehl, Tuesday; Mrs.
Dempsey Willis, Tuesday eve
ning; Mrs. Jack Phillips, Wed
nesday; Mrs. M. E. Erskine,
Thursday; Mrs. Ted Jensen,
Thursday evening; Mrs. Byron
Davis, Friday.
According to librarians, the
book shelves were becoming
quite bare with the high cir
culation, but more books were
brought to the library this
week by Mrs. Thora Sell
strom, Acting Siskiyou Coun
ty Librarian, and Mrs. Marvel
Soulc, a member of the staff
under Mrs. Sellstrom.
The shelves are now stock
ed with more books. Much
demand has been for refer
ence books for students doing
homework, and within a short
time it is hoped that these
books will be in more abun
dance for the student's use,
according to the staff here.
Yreka-The Salvation Army
annual campaign opened
Thursday in Siskiyou County,
with a goal of $3000, it was
announced today by the chair
man for the County, Senator
Randolph Collier.
Collier said that solicita
tions were under the direction
of E. G. Mndsen, the local
Army area representative, and
will be conducted in all the
major communities of the
county.
Donations may also be sent
to the Salvation Army in care

this pipe will replace the
present 6-inch pipe line from
the pumps on Elk Creek up
to the 25,000 gallon storage
tank. This bigger line should
help to keep the tank full
during the peak of the irriga
tion season, Wasson said,
however we will probably
still have to regulate irriga
tion hours, he said.
This contract was entered
into, Wasson said, after the
stockholders had approved
making a loan to cover the
cost of pipe and installation.
The new line should be in
stalled in about a month. The
pipe should be here in ap
proximately two weeks, and
prior to that a new road will
be built from the pumps to
the tank in which the pipe
will be laid.
The route of the new line
will be shorter, Wasson said,
since the road will be built
in a more direct route to the
tank, rather than follow the
old ditch line as the present
line is laid.
The site for the water sup
ply is approximately l'4
miles from town on Elk
Creek with the storage tank
set up high on the hill to give
about 100 feet of elevation
over that of the town.
Cleanup Saturday
Happy Camp -The Annual
Grange Cemetery cleanup will
be held Saturday starting at
8 a.m.
All workers are asked to
bring their own tools and re
port for work at the cemetery
as near 8 a.m. as possible to
get as much work done as pos
sible before lunch.
The ladies are asked to
bring food for noon dinner to
the Elementary School cafe
teria where lunch will be
served to all workers and
kitchen help at noon.
The annual affair has been
held approximately 25 years
with townspeople turning out
to clean the community ceme
tery and be rewarded with a
big dinner.
Heading the cleanup opera
tions is Mrs. Alice Dunaway
who has held that duty for
many years. Also long stand
ing as head of the kitchen is
Mrs. Bernice Sutcliffe who
will be planning the menu
and see that there is plenty
of food.

New Method Used To
Teach Reading in First
Grade at Lone Pine
By DOT SIMMONS
Lone Pine-Mrs. Opal Guetz
laff, first grade teacher, and
Lee Merriman, principal at
Lone Pine school, have spent
many hours assembling a new
method of teaching reading In
the first grade.
It is known as the "Kine
sethic" method. This method
of teaching is expected to aid
greatly in relieving children's
reading difficulties.
The first letter of the alpha
bet, then various objects start
ing with that letter, are as
sembled on a 12-inch by 14
inch peg board. These are
then set in grooves in a file
box. The grooves hold the
board and objects upright.
The child may go to the file,
pick up the board and use it
as a self-drilling teaching tool.
Mrs. Guetzlaff said that she
feels the pupils can play and
create a love for reading at
the same time. The method
Trail Woman
Wolves Near
By A. LOUIS DAY
Trail On occasion, Mrs.
Pauline Pitts will saddle her
horse and ride back into the
wilderness along Berry creek,
looking for stray cattle or just
for the ride. With the excep
tion of seeing a porcupine,
coyote or a hawk's nest, most
of the trips are uneventful.
. But about 2 p.m., May 7,
while returning from a search
for strays, she was privileged
to see a sight thought lost to
this part of Oregon. Just be
fore getting to the ridge over
the upper neck of Berry
creek, two wolves crossed the
trail.
She got a "bead" on one of
them with her rifle, but didn't
shoot as she wanted to be ab
solutely certain she wasn't
shooting someone's big dog.
Since they made no effort to
make a fast getaway, she had
plenty of time to observe
them, and she is positive they
were the dark timber wolves
who many years ago frequent
ed the Cascades and western
Oregon.
The Pitts' ranch, where
Pauline lives with her hus
band, Charlie, is located ap
proximately 3 miles up Elk
Creek road, from its intersec
tion with the Crater Lake
highway (62) and at the south
eastern end of Berry creek.
A hasty check with the Ore
gon Game commission's de
scriptive pamphlet on preda
tory animals revealed that the
last bounty paid on a wolf in
the state was in 1947. This
was in Lane county and is the
last authenticated record on
file.
It further states that while

also gives the child an under
standing of phonics with real
meaning, she stated, and gives
children a better understand
ing of sounds by associating
them with letters, pictures
and objects.
Merriman decided to use
the project during a remedial
reading course he took at
Southern Oregon college.
This is the first time it has
ever been tried here and stu
dents have shown great inter
est thus far.
The method will be used
during the summer school at
McLoughlin Junior high, in
which Mrs. Guetzlaff teaches
a remedial reading class.
Mrs. Guetzlaff first became
interested in teaching first
graders a number of years
ago, because she had always
had a love for them, and
wanted to be sure they got
a good fundamental back
ground. Sights Two

most authorities agree that it
is unlikely any wolves re
main, it still would be im
proper to state for certain
that there are no wolves left
in the state.
Later in the day, Mrs. Pitts
related, the female wolf came
down into the open just in
back of her living quarters,
and she again had plenty of
time to more closely observe
the animal. She said that all
evidence indicated she had
whelped young ones.
A wolfs litter may run In
sizes from 4 to 14, so the Pitts
are expecting to run into
some of the pups sooner or
later. The next time though
they intend to shoot, and
make observations later. The
grown wolf is a vicious killer,
