mony at the plant west of
Klamath Falls.
Now a vice president and
director of Pacific Power, and
the chief of engineering for its
Copco division, Boyle, who re
aides at 2336 Ross lane, was
for many years the head of
the engineering, construction i
and operations of the former
California Oregon Power com
pany. In announcing the dedica

of Medford friends and co
workers of Boyle plan to at
tend, the company noted the
directors had voted in Febru
ary to change the name of the
former Big Bend plant.
Bronn Plaqu Plactd
Frank Bash, Copco division
manager for PP&L, reported
Saturday that a bronze plaque
has been placed on a new flag
pole pedestal at the project
gates and will be unveiled at
11 a.m. Monday by Boyle's
granddaughter, Sue Ann Ruth
erford. The master of cere
monies will be Glenn Jackson.
A luncheon program will
follow at the Winema hotel in
Klamath Falls for PP&L em
ployees and former associates
in Klamath basin, where
Boyle served the company as
the Klamath division manager
from 1921 through 1929. The
master of ceremonies there,
also will be Jackson, vice
chairman of the board, and the
principal speaker will be Paul
B. McKce, chairman of the
PP&L board and also an engi
neer and former California
Oregon Power company em
ployee. In announcing the program,
Bn-'i said "the choice of the
la si nf the hydroelectric
pruned on the Klamath river
1r appropriate because its
planning and construction was
a milestone in the career of
the man who has been promi
nently associated with con
structive developments in the
Klamnlh river basin during
ll of his professional life."
Length of Sarvlc
The length of Boyle's serv
Ire with the utility industry,
62 years, happens to coincide
with the number of years In
which Pacific Power has been
in business.
A native of Siskiyou coun
ty, California, Boyle started
his career In Yreka as the as
sistant engineer for the Siski
you Power and Light compa
ny, following his graduation
from the University of Cali
fornia in 1910.
His first job was a field sur
vey of the Klamath river for
hydroelectric sites, and it led
to his assignment as superin
tendent of the construction of
a 135-fnol high dam and pow
erhouse which became the
Copco No. 1 plant, for many
.vers the principal power
source for the company.
During the 1920s and 3ns,
Boyle personally inspected
the riiKRrd Rogue and Ump
qua river basins in search for
the hydroelectric sites that the
company subsequently has de
veloped. His designs for the
eight powerhouses that use
the limited amount of water
in the North Umpqua, which
were built following 1948, re
sulted in his citation as the
Oregon Engineer of tha Year
in 1951.
Computed In 1958
The plant that will bear
Boyle's name was completed
in 11)58. the first of a new
scries of seven In a compre
hensive program for the utlliz
at ion of the water resources of
the Klamath basin for the pro
dtictinn of power and other
benefits for the people of the
area. It was named the Big
Bend plant at that time for Its
urngrnnhic location on the
river
Engraved on the plaque
which will be unveiled is an
Inscription which says, in
part:
"To honor John C. Boyle
distinguished engineer who
designed the project and su
pervised its construction and
whose talents since gradua
tion from the University of
California in 1910 have been
devoted to the advancement
of electric service throughout
the system of The California
Oregon Power Company and
Its successor company, Pacific
Power & Light Company."

TO IRAN Dr. G. Alvin Roberts and his
family leave the valley about Aug. 1 on
the first lap of their trip to Iran, where
Dr. Roberts will practice medicine in the
Hamadan Christian hospital, Hamadan, Iran.
Iran Is a country about
twice the size of Texas, lo
cated in the Middle East, and
bordered on the south by the
Persian Gulf and on the north
by the Caspian sea.
The city of Ilamadun is
located in the nnrthenslern
portion nf the country. This is
where Dr. and Mrs. Alvin
Roberts and their three chil
dren will live for thp next
year.
Dr. Roberts Is being sent I
to Iran by Hip Commission on
F.cumenical Missions and He
lations of the United Prcs
hyterian church. He will be
posted in the Hamadan Chris
tian hospital, which is sup
ported hy the Presbyterian
church.
The Roberts' and their chil
dren, Lawrence, 1R; Judith,
17; and Phyllis. 10. will live
In a home vacated by Dr.
Leroy Bowers. Dr. Bowers is
on a year's furlough. The
home is furnished.
Assistant to Director
At the Christian hospital,
Dr. Roberts will he assistant
to Dr. Homer E. Rice, direc
tor. The two doctors, who
were college classmates, will
be the only qualified surgeons
in the hospital, although there
is also an Iranian intern, who
may practice medicine, He
sides some American nurses
and technicians, there are a
number of Iranian nurses and
technicians, inosi of whom
have been trained by Dr. 11 ice
and his wife.
The Roberts family plans to
leave the Rncue valley about
Aug I. While (lying to
Hamadan. a city of about
lon.Onn people, they will
make short stopovers in Lon
don. Rome. Cairn, and Tel
Aviv.
The Medford First Presby
terian church has undertaken
to hack Dr. Roberts and his
family for the transportation
charges necessary to get to
and from Hamadan. This. Dr.
Roberts said, was one of the
big factors in making it pos
sible to go to Iran.
Iran's Oldest City
Hamadan is the oldest city
in Iran, formerly called
Persia, which is stiil .

atlas are Lawrence Roberts. 18, Mrs. Rob
erts, Dr. Roberts, Judith, 17, and Phyllis,
10. En route to Iran the family will make
slops in London, Rome, and Tel Aviv.
There are several Iranian
hospitals in the city, and the
financially able patients use
the Iranian facilities. This
leaves the understaffed Chris
tian hospital to provide medi
cal care for the less fortunate
people of the city.
It is a job which Just one
doctor cannot handle, and Dr.
Hnbcrls' arrival will enable
the hospital to continue op
eration after Dr. Bowers
leaves on his furlough.
In Iran, ttie missions are
not allowed to hold classes
or have schools. Because of
this, according to Dr. Roh-

Court Asked to
Defer Tax Claims
Against Mill
A group headed by Ashland
Contractor Thomas J. Parker
has asked the county court
not to press Its tax claims
against the Paul Workman
Lumber company, Ashland.
Ashland Attorneys Davis
and Alnsworth wrote the
county court Friday stating
that a group of citizens is
contemplating leasing the
mill, site and equipment from
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Workman,
owners of the property.
The group would pay the
Workmans so much per thou
sand feet of lumber manufac
tured. B. K. Herndon and
company, Ashland certified
public accountants, would re
ceive the lease money and act
as trustee.
Disbursal of Funds
The funds would be dis
bursed first to creditors hav
ing a prior lien claim, the let
ter reads. Afler those claims
are satisfied the remaining
funds would he riishursed on
a pro-raled basis among all
the lnmher company's credi
tors. The attorneys asked the
county court to sign a letter
assuring Parker and his as
sociates that the county would
not attach or garnishee the
operation. Current personal
property taxes due on tne
mill are $15,457.30 Including
interest.
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt said yesterday this,
in effect, is asking the county
court to "forgive the taxes"
on the property, which it can
not do. The letter was re
ferred to the district attorney
for a legal opinion, however.
before any final action is
taken.
Hopa to Open Mill
Parker said the group of
people interested in the mill
hoped only to get II operating
tax claims.
"Otherwise, the null will
remain only as so much junk
and the county will only re
ceive five cents on a dollar
for its tax claim," Parker
said.
Three presidents of the
United States have died on
July 4. They were John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson
on the same day in 1826 and
James Monroe in 1831.
