Outlook Brighter For Yreka Plant ARA Loan Effort Yreka An effort to get I $4,300,000 federal Area Re-1 development Administration j loan to establish a plywood j plant in the Yreka area ap-1 pcared to have a chance this week end despite opposition by the Siskiyou C o u n t y j Board of Supervisors. i . The supervisors voted 3 to : 2 recently not to approve the loan application by Siskiyou Hardwood company. The loan Is sought to aid in financing construction of an $8,600,000 particle board, I plywood layup plant and lum ber mill operation. , The supervisors voted against the proposal principal ly in an effort to protect ex isting lumbermen in the coun ty "from outside competi tion," it was reported. The plant would create new jobs io the Yreka area, but the supervisors argued that its creation would merely "Switch" jobs by putting oth er county plants out of busi ness. ' But numerous Yreka area residents and organizations, including Slate Sen. Randolph Collier of Yreka, announced support for the loan applica tion. Last Thursday evening the Yreka city council gave its full support to the hard Wood company's application. - The loan application is now being sent on to regional ARA offices in the state and to the California Economic Development commission for study. Eventually the appli cation must go to Washington for a final decision. Backers of the prop o s e d plant are hopeful that the support voted by the Yreka city council will serve as sufficient local endorsement since the county board of su pervisors would not go along with the project.

Williams display the $500 Confederate war bond which Mrs. Wil Mt. Shasta Family Still Has S500 Confederate Bond By J. O. McKINNEY Mail Tribune Correspondent Mount Shasta Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Williams, who live at 303 Ski Bowl dr., have a souvenir which cost $500 on Feb. 20. 1863. Despite the fact that it Is worthless on money marts to day, they would not exchange it for a far greater sum. It is a Confederate States war bond. It was about that time when Jeff Davis, Southern president, saw what he thought was a golden oppor tunity to win the civil war. But money was short. He ap pealed to his cousin, Charles E. Davis, of Texas to invest in a bond. Charles E., father of Mrs. Williams, wanted to help Cousin Jeff, and he had $500 that was not working. He bought the bond sat back to clip coupons and then get back his investment. It didn't work out that way. Airman To Enter Hearing Monday Mountain Home, Idaho-dlPP-It was eight months ago today that a Hill City, Minn., Air Force wife was knifed to death in a bloody scene that has developed more dramatics than a Perry Mason mystery. Monday the airman who contends he was the victim of "brainwashing" goes into a military article 32 investiga tion, the counterpart of a ci vilian preliminary hearing, to answer charges to the deaths of the woman and her child after being freed from eight months of civilian captivity. It will be exactly a week more before the blond Boise laborer, who says he did the killings, goes into a civilian court to enter a plea to a la ter murder. Airman Gerald M. Ander son, 24, San Diego, Calif., was freed by an Idaho third dis trict judge after Theodore Thomas Dickie, 21, voluntar ily confessed he killed Mrs. Nancy Joy Johnson, 22, and her baby, two-year-old Dan iel. The woman's husband, Air man Alec Johnson, and a three-year-old daughter, have returned to the Mountain Home strategic air command base in the desert near here. Johnson was transferred from here last summer to a Flor ida air base. Deputy Cleared Of Blame In Killing Portland - IITI - Disl. Atty.

OREGON ' The bond carried 12 cou pons for $20 each, payable every six months. Number 1 was clipped, but the $20 was never forthcoming. The oth er 11 are still attached. The Williams family still sympathize with the lost cause and dislike being on the losing side, and this old bond shows that a personal appeal from a kinsman did not fall on deaf ears. They have no regrets for the in vestment shrinkage, but glory that Charles E. proved his mettle, and did the right thing by his cousin. Also, after these years, the old bond, with one coupon missing, could be peddled for a sum far in excess to its face value. It is a collector's item that cannot be reproduced again. Despite its age, the paper Is still unstained by time. Glass covering protects from deteri oration. No. It is not for sale.
