6 A MONDAY. Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor WHERE'S THE SNOW? This photo of Crater Lake, taken eight days ago, bears little reseamblance to the winter snow scenes of the lake displayed on post cards. The absence of normal amounts of snow at high elevations this winter can well be noted by taking a - trip up Highway 62 to Crater Lake. We took such a trip Sunday, Jan. 24 just before the storm of last week began. The storm dropped a welcome 35 inches of new snow at the lake, bringing the amount of snow on the ground up there to 46 incites. Compare that figure with 72 inches last year at this dale, and 71 inches the year before. Whin we visited Crater Lake last winter, we hit snow between Prospect and Union Creek. As was ap proached the lake, snow was piled so high on cither side of the road that one could not see over it. And the rim of the lake itself was covered with a thick blanket of white. On our trip of Jan. 27, we did not see any snow until we reached the junction of highways (J2 and 230, the road to Diamond lake. There we saw a little snow on the ground, but the pavement of the road was still bare. Even the pavement of highway 230, which, accord ing to the sign posted at the junction, was "closed by snow blockade beyond this point," was bare as far as the eye could see. There was snow along the roadside as we drove into the park, but no more than a fool or two at any point. And the inside of the lake's rim was virtually bare, although last week's snowfall may have given it more of a white blanket. The clear weather during most of January apparently stimulated travel to Crater Lake National park. On the first two week ends of the month, park officials report an average of 120 cars visited the area. Last year the average for the same two week ends were 70 cars. Traf fic is counted only on week ends during the off season. Meeting With the Groundhogs We attend the Eagle Point Grange Groundhog dinner yesterday along with about 500 others, including R. E. Nealon, who will undoubtably have something to say about it Friday. The large attendance was gratifying to the grangers, who needed to pull off a successful fund raising event after their hall was damaged during the Dec. 2 flood. (The "Little" Butte creek which runs by the hall even looked pretty savage yesterday.) We understand that special thanks are in order for Mrs. W. E. Davies, who whs chairman of the dinner, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cearley, who donated the din ner's traditional sausage. Charlie Hoover expressed thanks to all the news media for the promotion given the event.

"A district is a quasi-municipal corporation whose mon ey is in trust," explained Med ford Lawyer Bill Kellington, who helped establish the Med ford rural fire protection dis trict to apply for protection, as that of a city. It can't spend money (to fight a fire) out side a district and tax the people inside the district." "It is up to the people who live on the rim of a fire dis trict to aply for protection, join the district and pay taxes for that fire protection," Kel lington said.

His answer lo a question as to what formula is used in arriving al whether a pro posed project is feasible was as follows: 1. Crops and crop pattern those grown or tiiosc that could be grown. 2. Cost of providing water to the land on which these crops are grown. 3. Length of growing sea son. 4. Price of each connection to the service 5. Classification of lands in area to be serviced. 6. Cost of getting water to fieids on steep hillsides if too great, then better located ! lands arc considered first. 7. Cost of producing crops, and amount of water needed. 8. The capability of the land to produce a crop which is salable. THEM ft TRY THEM AT 8th & Grape Jim & Dick At Training Race Horse By MARY ALICE BRUSHA Mail Tribune Correspondent Central Point - Dr. Jim Perry, Central Point veter inarian, with the help and training of his father, Dick Perry, is In the process of preparing a former race horse for the rodeo arena, .ching him all the tricks of roping. The horse is Leo Jacket, a registered American Quarter horse, who stands 15 hands, two inches high, weighs 1,200 pounds, and was sired by Leo Reed. Dr. Perry is a professional rodeo contestant. His dad, Dick, is in the amateur class, but that is only in the terms of money. One has only to see this father and son team on the rodeo grounds to know the elder Perry is quite an expert himself. In the Portland Meadows Futurity races in 1961, Leo Jacket was first place winner in the qualifying trials and third place winner for two year olds. The Perrys saw in this horse the same qualities so many other breeders of horses had seen, the possibility of the perfect horse for speed, con firmation and working abil ity. Dr. Perry believes the Leo Reed blood line is ('ie best that can be obtained. It goes back forty years. He noted that other colts winning in the 1961 Futurity races were of the same strain. Dick Perry has be n a breeder and trainer of horses ever since his boyhood days, although he says it was not until the depression days of 1932 that he actually got com mercially involved. Along the Gila River, in Arizona, he went in partner ship with two brothers and a couple of other men. They bought 1,000 head of wild horses. Horses were cheap, selling from $10 up, including some good blood lines. In 1935, the group ferreted out the weak and cripples and proceeded to sell them to a California company for the dog and cat food industry. Rodeo events, like every thing else in those days, were at a stand still. Money was scarce. A $2 day was a big win, a real haul. Once Dick recalls he was paid forty cents for an all day's performance, and then the crowd passed the hat. From the wild horse ven ture, Dick said he learned all the tricks of the horses, and realized the place he loved most was the rodeo and arena.

Perry Work Former for Rodeo The 3,000-year old sport of horse racing wasn't just what he wanted to do. Roping steers was his choice in horsemanship. But he yet had to find the right horse, one exactly right in bona structure. Speed too was im portant, and weight. In 1944 the Perrys came to live in the Rogue valley. Jim continued with his studies in ihe veterinary field, roping in the competition races. Al Muse, Eagle Point, is th legal owner of Leo Jacket. The Perry's have him under a two year lease, at the end of which time they believe ha will have mastered all the tricks of the arena. He has not been retired from racing, just being trained for work ability. In the meantime, he will be standing at stud for outside mares.
