Resolution Studied During committee sessions yesterday, deelgates studied resolutions to present tD the congress. Resolutions ranged from public relations to re search and agriculture. The Rogue River Valley Ir rigation district is recom mending in a resolution that the new state legislature be asked to make a thorough study of state drainage prob lems. Industrial and residen tial development in more populated Oregon counties "has resulted in material changes in the run-off pattern of small natural drainages in said areas," the resolution stated. Expanding develop ments will compound the problem, it was noted. Following considerable dis cussion, the public relations committee recommended that promotion of better under standing of irrigation and re clamation projects be done through local news media. Makes Recommendation The committee also recom mended that a representative of an irrigation district be on local recreation commissions so recreationists can be bet ter understand reservoir oper ations, particularly regarding draw-down. Jack Hoffbuhr, congress vice president and Medford Irrigation district manager, recommended signs be posted in reservoir areas informing the public that the farmer has financed the reservoir devel opment. The committee also pro posed school tours of reclama tion projects similar to the present forestry tours. HSC?)BRIEFS (TIMS FROM fy AROUND THI OlOil RUSSIA, U. S.

The city council, Nov. 15 voted to appropriate $18,500 for the restoration of the park, which was damaged by the loss of 4.4 acres to the free way right-of-way. Haworth said that some work is already under way at the 10-acre park.

Standing Trou ..rv V Mi Applegate Stockmen Discuss Reduction Of Range Allotment Applegate A group of Applegate stockmen indicated last night they would take their range reduction prob lems all the way to Washing ton, D. C, if necessary. Martin Grier, Applegate Stockmen's association presi dent, urged all beef ranchers present to read their proposals from the forest service, make any revisions they feel neces sary, then send range allot ment representatives to a com mittee meeting. The cattlemen would then attempt to reach basic agreement with the forest service. Leroy Offenbachcr, presi dent of the Jackson County Stockmen's association, said none of the proposed allot ment reductions has received final approval by the forest service, but feels if ranchers do not fight the proposed cuts now, it will be too late. Serious Economic Problem State Sen. Lynn Newbry, State Rcps.-clect Ed Branch field and James Redden, agreed that the ranchers arc faced with a serious economic problem. Newbry urged ranch ers to appeal through Con gressman-elect Robert Duncan and Sens. Wayne Morse and Maurine Neuberger. Applegate area Forest Ran ger Neil Sutlcll urged ranch ers to wait until the range development and allotment re duction plans are approved, then to appeal them through channels, to Secretary of Ag riculture Orvillc Freeman, If necessary. Ranchers generally argued that allotment cuts are not needed since their cattle con tinue to come off the range fat, it is unfair to charge cat tlemen for a share of range improvement work yet drasti cally reduce use at the same time, present range analysis systems are questionable, and proposed fencing for grazing control is not practical. Allotment Cuts Mide Ed F 1 n d 1 e y, Applegate rancher, argued that allotment cuts had been made every year since 1907, when he first ran cattle on the Applegate range. Bruce Myrick, a newcomer to the area, blasted forest service policy, and demanded a statement of policy from the ll. 6.

Old-timers on the Applegate remarked that cattle numbers have decreased more than 25 per cent. They pointed out that approximately $175,000 is earned from the range, and all of it is spent in Medford. They sharply criticized the forest service for lack of vig orous brush control programs. They also pointed out that range analysis does not In clude edible brush on which cattle thrive. Summing It up, Newbry noted, "It looks as if a num ber of you will be out of busi ness by 1068. If the Great White Father can spend so much money overseas he should be willing to reim burse you cattlemen for your allotment cuts. The problem is not unique to this area. I saw the same thing on the John Day." Duncan to Speak At Memorial Event Congressman - elect Robert B. Duncan will speak at a memorial dinner in honor of the late Eleanor Roosevelt at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, In the banquet room at North's Cmick Wagon.
