FRIDAY,
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.

PUD Shaping Up
As Heated
Grants Pass A proposal to
form a People's Utility Dis
trict, to be put before Jose
phine County voters at the
November election, has given
rise to a public vs. private
power controversy here
which bids lo transcend any
thing else on the coming

Pass logging and construction
company; and Kobert u.
Stumbo, Wolf Creek, restau
rant and logging company
owner.

claim that creation of a PUD
will result in lowering of
power rates in the county.
Spokesmen for Us main op
ponent. Pacific Power and
Light Company, claim this isJ
not feasible.
Both sides, well fortified
with statistics, have been ap
