Box 252 By NORMA CLARK tiSi lfrIVr ATIITI 2 THE HOUSE OF HORSES When the McKenzie Pass opens and schools close, vis itors from all over the United States and many foreign coun tries stop at "The House of Horses," a unique museum that houses miniature horses carved by the artistic hands of Martha (Mrs. J. Michael) Shelley of Vida, Ore. There they see over 100 horses of 25 breeds displayed In appropriate surroundings in shadow boxes. Each horse is doing the job he was born and bred to do, for Mrs. Shel ley's collection represents the history of the horse down through the centuries. "It is highly enjoyable," writes Mrs. Shelley, "to 'talk' horses with a visitor who can not speak English and whose language I cannot speak But we always end with com plete understanding, our ges tures and smiles making us of one mind if not one tongue, because there before us is the horse doing his job. ' "I've been a lorir of horses since childhood, and my plan it to pass my proj ect on when and if I ever complete it. It is a big job, en that will keep me busy the rest of my life. I have no carvings to sell. "My knowledge of the an atomy of the horse stems from the experience I had at an early age in working with and training them. They were our only means of trans portation up to the time I was married. "I use a mallet and chisel lo cut out the large chunks ot basswood around my de sign, then knives to finish the model. After sanding and buffing, a coat of shellac is applied, and the model is ready for painting. I use the same oil paints that I use for painting pictures on canvas. The harness and saddles are made of leather. "Making vehicles, I learn ed, would take too much precious time from my horses, so I am buying them now from a carriage hobby ist who lives in California."

He received his bachelor of science and mas ter of science degrees from Oregon State university and attended Western Washington College of Education at Bel lingham, Wash., and Syracuse university.

Court in Quandary Over Fire District The Jackson county court is in i quandry about what to do about an "in and out" Rogue River rural fire district section. Recently, two large areas were joined to the Rogue Riv er rural fire district follow ing a petition to the county court. One of the areas included was the Lampman rd. area in the Gold Hill district be tween the Rogue river and the new freeway. Now, approximately 30 in dividuals of that area have petitioned the county court to be withdrawn from the dis trict. Figuring travel time on old Highway 99, the Lampman rd, area residents say they are too distant from Rogue River to be adequately served by the fire department. However, County Judge Earl M. Miller estimates trav el time on the recently com pleted section of the freeway would be only six minutes from Rogue River.

The council reaffirmed its position last week when it heard a request for city water service by Gerald E. Olson of Ashland Acres, outside of the city. The council has authorized extension of city water scrv- ice for a multi-million dollar subdivision designed primar ily for the retired and pro posed to be built around the Ashland Golf course, but councilmen explained that this was a special case.
