Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, Tablets By R. E. Mail Tribune Table The wind storm last Friday did little damage here. Most of the pears in local orchards were picked, and those not picked were a variety that cling to the trees. Some big Cottonwood trees on the river bottom land overturned and some branches were blown out. We have not heard of any local buildings being damaged. The wind as it passed through here was not of the . tornado or whirling type. If it had been it would very ' likely have sucked off the roofs of the old sky scraper hay barns, that stick up some 40 feet Into the sky. Also, we were lucky that all the shade trees around the dwel - lings weathered the storm. Many of these need to be cut back or taken out, as they keep growing and get more dangerous each year. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Payne, formerly of Sams Val ley, but now of Mcdford, were brief callers here Sun day. Both are descendents of old pioneer families of the Rogue Valley. Howard now drives a large freight truck making daily trips from Portland to San Francisco, which he has been doing for some 28 years. Darn Thoie Commercials The following copy was nudged out of last Friday's "Tablets" by commercials. We note in a recent issue of the M.T. that Steven Wilson was high bidder on some 2,350,000 ft. of National Forest timber in the Wil low Prairie district. Part of this timber was 88,000 ft. of Douglas fir, bid in at $71 a thousand ft. Since this is standing timber and there is the cost of falling, trucking to the mill, sawing into lumber and all the many other operations it goes through before it Is ready to use, we can begin to see why it costs so much to build a house. We remember when we were a boy that farmers in this community bought lumber from two saw mills, one in the Meadows district operated by J. B. Welch, and one in the Trail area, owned and operated by W. T. Houston. These mills were run by steam power. The price of this lumber when ready for market was $7 a thousand delivered here In sizes for fencing and siding 1x6 lo 1x12. The lumber was hauled with horses and the roads were such that a team of horses could only haul a thousand ft. at a load and took about a day's time. There were no paved roads in the county at that lime and very few graveled roads. When we see and hear what seems like an endless stream of huge trucks loaded with logs some in 30 ft. lengths we realize what a long way we have come In the cutting and marketing of lumber. When we consider what these old timers went through to produce 1000 feet of $7.00 lumber, we wonder how they made a living. From JFK to Dog Catcher We enjoyed listening to Senator Wayne Morse on tele vision the other night, and thought we would liked to have been there to pat him on the back. To those who asked how we are going to vote Nov. 6, we say we will give, if the Lord's willing, out ticket in the Tablets. To a man that asked me a few days ago, we told him the way it looks now we will be voting democratic from J.F.K. to dog-catchcr. He laughed and said, "So am 1." As lo fluoridation, we will say we are not a chemist so are not qualified lo pass on its merits or demerits. But one thing about it that doesn't appeal to me is that If It is passed those who are opposed and think it is Injurious to health will have to use It, or else. In our last Tablets we mentioned that Miss Galliard, the county nurse, called here. She was here lo remind our boiler half it was about lime for her annual check up, and x-rays. This explanation is made because some thought she had come lo see me. One time when I was Cnunly Commissioner, the county doctor removed an object from my eye. May be we owe Jackson County for this service. Joseph H. Filer, of Eagle Point, died with a heart ntlack while working with a pear packing crew last Tuesday, at the Modoc Orchard. Back From California Mr. and Mrs. Ray Doran, and daughter Linda, re lumed Sunday from a visit with relatives in California points. Outside of a nice visit with relatives, it must have been a hectic trip, according to Mrs. Doran, with rain and slush and miles of slow travel in procession, going bumper lo bumper. We like to talk with old timers, but made a bad mistake the other day when a lady was talking about something that happened here a good many years ago. She said she remembered it although it happened when she was just a little girl. Not thinking, we SHid that was a long time ago. From the expression on her face we knew we had made a mistake. What I should have said was, "Oh, that wasn't so long ago." Guess I am losing my art of diplomacy, if I ever had any. P. S. We have just learned that Friday's wind storm did considerable damage to the barn on the old Lydiard place. Also, it caused a herd of cattle on Table Top ranch to stampede, tearing out a long length of fence. Thought for the Day It's an evil wind that blows no good to anyone. Lack of Quorum Stalls Eagle Point Sewer Bancrofting By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point The Eagle Point City council failed to have a quorum of five out of six council members present Tuesday night, so matters were postponed until the reg ular November meeting. An hour and a half was spent going over the recent survey of several sections of the city. City Administrator Oran Chastain recently sur veyed with Mark Boyden, Jackson County surveyor, but no legal steps could be taken without a quorum present. The city attorney, Gregg llornrckrr, explained the amount of work the city re corder, Mrs. Marion Vannice, had put in going over the past records from 195B through the preesnl time lo tabulate all of the money taken in and spent and what It was spent for in regards In the sewer funds. It was estimatrd that both the city administrator and at torney had spent about 40 hours and M r s. Chastain about 20 hours to go over the front footage of all property owners in the city limits, so steps could be taken to prop erly Initiate Bancrofting pro ceedings. Hornccker told members of the council proceedings were ready lo go as soon as the council obtained a quorum. Councilman Bill Hunting was In bed wilh pneumonia but volunteered lo give his voles by telephone. Donald McGnvern was out of town, and I-eland Meyer was still trying lo repair telephone lines in the Prosper) rM ,nr the Orrgnn-Washinglon Tele phone company. OCTOBER 19. 1962 NEALON Rock Correspondent In action taken by the coun cil last week It was decided to equalize the connect charges for the sewer and charge each new connecter $55. In Ihc past charges have been $75 for residents on the opposite side of the slreet and $40 for residents on Ihp same side of Ihc street as the sewer trunk line. It is the hope of the council to encourage more building throughout Fugle Point by this decision. Kach new home will equal about 1 mill of tax reduction for residents.
