swift flowing stream running by the main

. grounds. The stream and large flooded are;
;on the fair grounds was caused by last

for a more adequate fair grounds. Nobody
looked to see if the bottle in foreground
contained a note.

But what of the future? One
local stockman was notified
that this spring he must get
his 100 plus head of cattle off
government range and keep
them off for five years.
Another cattleman has re
ceived similar notice. What
will this and other proposed
range allotment reductions
mean to the Jackson county

ternatives? What'of the number of cat
tlemen not depending on gov
ernment range. How do they
; size up their business prns
i peels for the next year, for
the next 10 years?

ferentials and their effect
upon Oregon cattlemen is a
matter of opinion. How dues
this affect local cattlemen?

ation may be necessary? How
soon? Can the cattlemen gain

ation industry developing in

areas would dude ranches be

be established?

UP.
By BART BARTLETT
The politicians have had
considerable competition re
cently and a point that was
proven more or less is that
Mother Nature can produce
more wind and be more dra
matic than can the politicians.
However, when the damages
done by both are evaluated,
the politicians easily win all
10 rounds of the controversy.
On Saturday, Oct. 13 a
dreaded horde of people in
vaded the countryside. They
had been to the sporting
goods store and had in their
possession, by Saturday morn
ing the following items: a
plastic cap or hat, a pair of
boots of various lengths and
colors. Between these two ex
tremes of equipment there ex
it ted all sorts of variations.
Most had a gun either owned,
borrowed, or rented and most
knew very little about the
mechanics of the gun or
where lo use it in a sportsman-like
manner. Some of
these people knew a legal
game bird when they saw it
and a few of them knew
where to seek the game and
how to kill it in the true tra
dition of a sportsman.
This segment of the Satur
day hunters are welcome to
hunt by most rural home and
landowners if they could be
properly separated from the
game hog who is destructive
of fences and other property.
This segment of hunters park
their cars in farm access roads
and even get them stuck in
the mud. When this happens
they also borrow tractors
without permission in order to
tow their vehicle back onto
firm footing. This fellow also
does not read, as he readily
passes No Hunting signs. He
will shoot into equipment,
homes, barns, and livestock.
Furthermore, he will readily
shoot another hunter, as the
records show.
The rural landowner is
practically helpless. He must
catch the trespasser and sign
a complaint before the law en
forcement officers can act. A
solution to trespassing hunt
ers must be found. One that
may work is to have each ap
plicant for a hunting license
present a written statement
signed by some landowner lo
prove that the prospective
hunter has a legal place to
hunt. In the event he is found
hunting at any other location.
he would be in violation of
the law and subject to arrest
I he harvest season for
pears will extend into late Oc
tober. C. C. Hoover is to be
commenaea tor his sugges
tions relative to harvesting
me pear crop. The growers
are willing to pay for any
labor that contributes to the
completion of their harvest.
Promise
We will look the politicians
over next week in this column.

optimistic about the future: the half-million
newspaperboys who are on their way to being
the future leaders of our Nation.
"These youngsters learn the importance of
responsibility, the value of money, and the
great opportunities a free system like ours
offers to its people.
"Many of these
