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."

dent of public instruction in
the state s primary election.

showed Richardson with 705.
821 votes compared to 641,
808 for his nearest rival, Max
Rafferty. The two will con
test in a run-off election this
fall.
From a field of nine candi
dates in the non-partisan race,
three, including a liberal, a
right-winger and a third
whose political philosophy lies
somewhere in between, ran
neck-and-neck during most of
the counting. Each of the
three had held a lead at one
point in the counting.
Richardson, president of the
Los Angeles City Board of
Education is said to be the
most liberal of the three.

schools, was third with 631,

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.

Ashland Council to
Continue Policy
Ashland-The Ashland city
council has decided to con
tinue its policy against extend
ing city water lines outside
of the city limits.
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.
In other items, the council
discussed proposed changes in
the r-itv charter. No action
was taken. Some of the coun
cilmen questioned the advisa
bility of one proposed change
which would place certain
elective officers under the
Jurisdiction of the city super
intendent, an appointed of
ficer. A hearing on paving of
Hillview dr. and Greenbriar
place was set June 19.
