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.

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.
The horse, Arabu-Farwan,
won a trophy and first place
in the western pleasure junior
class, a fourth place in west
ern Pleasure stallion of all
ages class, third in the haller
class for four-year-old stal
lions. '
Arabu-Farwan Silver Rose,
yearling filly owned by
James and Ruth Warren,
Ashland, and Wanamarra, a
two-year-old filly owned by
Paul Adams, Grants Pass, tied
for fourth place in the Wanabl
gct-of-sire class.
Arabu-Farwan and Wana
marra placed fourth in the

by Mr. and Mrs. Adams.
The show sponsored by the
Arabian Horse Breeders Asso
ciation of Oregon attracted
342 Arabians from Nevada,
Montana, Arizona, Washing
ton, California and Oregon.
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.
Vera Bryant reported to po
lice about 7:45 p.m. Wednes
day that a youni, man grabbed
tha purse from her on North
Central ave. between Sixth
and Main sts. She said the
purse contained about $306
When police found the

other papers were inlact
the purse, police said.
