OREGON 3 v ' fS NEW FENCE Full scale production of this new type fencing is expected to be reached by Ashland's Ranch Rounds, Inc. Lodge pole Production of New Fencing Expected To Reach Full Scale W t'-4- r pine is used in the production of the fenc ing, shown in this picture. (Whitland Locke Photo) mm Win A new addition to Jackson county's growing list of light industries, Ashland riancn Hounds Inc., expects to enter full ecale production at the Dead Indian road plant within the next 10 days. Construction of two build ings, one housing the main plant, the other a dry kiln has been completed. A chip and dust collection system has been included. Medford distributor for the new product has been an nounced as Big Pines Lumber company. The operation is based on transformation of seldom-used lodge pole pine into a unique, new home improvement prod uct. Lodge pole timber growth in salvaged and milled into fencing components of uni form length and diameter with machinery specially de signed and assembled in Ash land. Family Enterprise Ranch Rounds Inc. Is a fam ily enterprise. The existence of the corporation is the re sult of teamwork of three brothers. Collins Hassell serves as business manager, Ray Has sell is designer and engineer, and Clayton Hassell is In charge of production. The Dead Indian rd. operation Is the first enterprise-, involving all three brothers. Earlier Hassell businesses Include the log bunk stake kit and log bunk manufacturing plant at the Dead Indian rd. site, now owned and operated by Ray Hassell. All three are experienced in trucking and logging with Clayton still managing an independent log ging firm. Idea in 1960 The idea which evolved in to Ranch Rounds Inc. was conceived by Collins Hassell during the fall of 1960 while driving through a thick fir stand in the Applegatc area. The new business was in the works by late summer of the following year. Ray designed a machine patterned after a circular lathe. After cutting heads were developed, the mechan ism was outfitted with an ar ray of pneumatic tires to serve as feeders and guides. Prototype machinery was in operation by November, 1961, with some experimental pro- ducuon at that time. Articles of incorporation were filed In March this year. Ranch Rounds Inc. recent ly completed two new build ings. The larger of the two contains the compact produc tion line, the second structure houses a dry kiln. Production Volume According to Collins, 400 finished rounds per day will be considered a minimum pro duction level. Eventual daily production of 1,000 rounds will be attained by operating two machines on an eight-hour shift. Production will be in creased with sales demand by an additional shift, and ulti mately by more machines. Lodgepole brought from the woods in tree length is sorted for diameter to make either 3, 4, or 3-inch finished rounds. After being turned to the proper specifications they are cut to the proper length and loaded into the new forced air dry kiln. Sales outlets will be an nounced in the near future, with basic distribution points to be established with retail lumber yards in Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass. A recent round of conferences with dealers in California, Arizona and Nevada indicated the Jackson county operation can look forward to a high degree of sales acceptance outside the Rogue valley area, the Hassels said.

Valley Stallion Wins 4 Prizes at Show A four-year-old Arabian stallion owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Belknap, 2006 Sprlngbrook rd., Medford, took four places during the 16th all-Arabian horse show held at the state fair grounds last week end in Salem.

About 75 per cent of the steel produced in the United States comes from the great Messabi Range in Minnesota and is shipped by boat through the Great Lakes. United Press International Strikes and strike threats dominated much of the news in California last week. One labor-management con flict was settled but negoti ations continued in several other major disputes. The Pacific Maritime asso ciation (PMA) and three sea faring unions reached an agreement which averted the threat of a renewed West Coast maritime strike. The agreement, subject to ratification by union member ship and the 12 shipping com panies represented by the PMA, is retroactive to Oct. 1, 1961, and extends until June 15, 1965. Climaxes Negotiations The agreement climaxed nine months of stormy negoti ations, a 26-day strike which paralyzed West Coast ship ping, the declaration of a state emergency In Hawaii, and the invocation of a Taft-Hartley injunction by President Ken nedy. The settlement came just nine days before the three unions-the Sailors Union of the Pacific, the Marine Fire men and the Marine Cooks and Stewards-were free to re sume their walkout. The proposed coutract called for a 2 per cent across-the-board wage increase and an extension of vacation allow ances during the first year, an increase in pension allowances in the second, and an exten sion of work rule provisions in the third year. ODther disputes shaped up like this: Construction - A Superior Court judge dissolved a tem porary restraining order against three construction firms which signed separate agreements with the striking 1 northern California laborers union. Meanwhile, talks continued between employers and the la borers union in an effort to settle the eight - week - old strike-lockout which tied up $2.5 billion worth of construc tion in 42 counties. In south ern California, cement masons declared a strike, joining car penters in a gradual slow down of that area's construc tion industry. Most carpenters stayed away from jobs in the face of a united non-strike stand by builders. Aerospace - Union officials considered a two-year con tract offered by General Dy namics Corp. in San Diego in an attempt to avert a strike by some 27,000 International As sociation of Machinists work ers. Meanwhile, representa tives of Aerojet-General Corp. and 8,500 machinists ex pressed optimism over con tract negotiations involving plants in Sacramento and Azusa. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Alcatrai: Alcatraz authori ties continued to turn up new indications as to how three bank robbers worked their es cape from the federal prison. But they knew no more than ever of the fugitives ultimate fate. A "workshop" was discov ered in an attic area above their cell tier. A life preserver was found in addition to tools, including a crowbar and an electric fan converted into a drill. The convicts apparently used the area during evenings when lights were out to fash ion the lifelike dummies they left in their beds the night of their escape June 11-12. The three dug through their cell walls with spoons and es caped through a ventilating system. But whether they drowned in the bay or es caped was stil la mystery. The misisng were Frank L. Mor ris, 35, and John Anglin, 32, 1 and his brother, Clarence, 31. ! Hearst: The Hearst Corp. annaunced it had combined ' management of its two San Francisco newspapers, the moring Examiner and evening News-Call Bulletin. The Hearst group, which acquired full control of the News-Call Bulletin two weeks previous, also indicated it would go to a one plant operation. G. O. Makuson, general manager of the Hearst newspapers, said, however, that the papers would not be printed in either of Hearst's present San Fran cisco plants. ....Divorcee: An attractive 28-year-old divorcee, who said she was rousted from bed and taken to the Los Angeles po lice station wearing nothing but a filmsy nightgown, was cleared of resisting arrest charges. Not only that but Municipal Judge John F. Hassler termed her arrest ."outrageous and cruel" and said it would be a "travesty on justice to hold her accountable for the indig nities visited upon her." He said Mrs. Dorothy Mackray "obviously could not be sus pected of flight in a night gown." In so doing, he re versed a trial jury conviction. Aqueduct: The state re ceived a low bid which was $100,000 higher than expected for a segment of California's giant $1.75 million water plan. Maguire and Hester company of Oakland offered a low bid of $1,317,787.50 for construc tion of a 6.8 mile canal section of the South Bay Aqueduct. Snatched Purse Is Recovered by Police A purse which was snatched from a Yrcka, Calif., woman's hand on Nortli Central ave. Wednesday night was later re covered by Medford police with a substantial amount of money still in it.
