Yreka Has Observatory With 10-Inch Telescope, And Astronomy Exhibits By DORIS ROBINSON Yreka- Dedication ceremon ies for the amateur observa tory located in the western part of Yreka on a hill at the end of Jackson St., were held last Saturday. Approximately 100 people were present des pite cold and windy weather. Speakers included Charles Coolcy, Mayor of Yreka; Don Avery, chnirman of the Board of Supervisors; Dr. M. L. Pin doll, chairman of the board of directors of the Siskiyou County Astronomical Society, and William Early, supervis or, the Rev. Max Aiken gave tile principal address. Members of the Board of Directors were introduced. They are: Dr. Pindell, chair man; Mrs. Alden James, sec retary; Miss Elizabeth Russel, asssistant secretary; the Rev. Dale Buckner, Clyde June, Rev. Mr. Aiken and Dr. R. M. Stewart. Technical director is Charles Fiock, assistant tech nical director, Irvin Whiting, astrophotographic consultant, Jack Young and the American Legion representative, Bill Nelson. The observatory was dedi cated in memory of the late Lester Bagley, who donated the land and helped clear and level the site with his equip ment. The dome was construc ted of donated materials by members of the Ross Nellon Post 12j!, American Legion, according to plans and under the direction of Charles Fiock. All labor on the construc tion of the dome was donated, and it took about 1500 hours. The observatory is owned by the American Legion, but will he operated by the Siskiyou County Astronomical Society. The purpose of this observa tory is to give to the people of the Yreka area, and espec ially the children, the oppor tunity to acquire some knowl edge of astronomy and allied sciences. Memberships to the society may be had for nonimal fees. Money will be used for main tenance and operating costs. Letters of information will be sent out from time to time. A larger telescope is also in the future planning. P e r i o dically, lectures re garding various phrases of astronomy will be given at the American Legion hall. Members will be entitled to the lectures as well as many observations at the observa tory. There are no qualifica tions for membership except a desire to acquire knowledge in space and astronomy, and there is no age limit. Much credit for the observa tory, goes to Fiock, whose foresight made all this possi ble, it has been his dream since a child, and he made a six inch telescope when he was in elementary school. He built the ten inch telescope In the basement of his home near the observatory site. He spent hours and hours polishing the reflecting mirror and assembling the parts of the telescope which is now housed in the dome. He inter ested the American Legion in a project of mounting his telescope where many people might be able to view the heavenly bodies. From this the idea of an observatory grew. Also of particular interest are the models of the various planets, which have been placed throughout the area in relative distances from each other and from the observa tory dome, which is used as the sun in the display.

Contrail Bridge To Be Dedicated Sunday, 2:30 Applcgalc Valley - Of corv slderable interest to residents of Jackson and Josephine counties in general and resi dents of the Applcgalc Valley in particular is the dedication of the Cantrall Bridge across the Appli'iiate River near Ruch. Sunday at 2:30 p.m. has been selected as the time lor the ceremony at the bridge site.

It is estimated that over 63 mil lion board feet of presently merchantable timber will be made available to market by this road and bridge develop ment. The bridge is being named in honor of the pioneer Can rail family whose descendants have, for many years, lived in the property adjacent to the newly constructed bridge. However, this bridge is being "ledicated to "the coordinated management of all resources if farm and forest". Mr. and Mrs. Cantrall have ong been associated with .arious groups which are ac 'ively engaged in the promo ion of bettor practices in the :onscrvatlnn of natural re iources Presently, Harlan antral! is District Supervis or (() the locgl Soil Conferva- Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribuna Tblt Rock Correspondent Table Rock Well, the election is over, and it seems that the friends of some of the sure to win candidates must have gone fishing last Friday. The candidate who was "really the only one qualified" for the office he sought, must think that the voters didn't believe him or else they don't want a qualified official. In our com munications "election comments" we let our pencil run away from our counting, so in place of the allowed 400 words, we had some S00, which E. A. cut down to 400. To finish it up, we had said the reason we didn't go over board about the home rule charter, was that we had gone through another such controversy back in the early thirties. A general sales tax had been put on the ballot to be voted on. We were told that Oregon was on the brink of bankruptcy, that should we fail to pass the sales tax, the crash would come, schools would close and financially the state would collapse. The voters turn ed thumbs down on the tax despite all the weird predic tions and the nasty name calling, but Oregon went ahead "flying with her own wings". It wasn't the so-called crack pots that made the wierd predictions, but our educated folks, people with plenty of the world's goods, holding positions of trust, and supposed to know more about finances than the common run of the mill. In later years we remember that the good people of Medford were going to lose their teeth if they didn't vote in fluoridation for their drinking water that was said to be too pure for human consumption.
