8 A t'JUDAY MARCH 1. 1M1 MKUl'UHD MAIL liUUUWfc. MtrluunU, Unciaun Tablets ly R. I. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock CevrespenJent; E. A.'i recent editorial relative to the bill that would help to do away with air and water pollution wu fine, but unfortunately hits two of our enterprises that con tribute more to our economy than any. other, lumber and peara. However, we go along with his claim-that more effort should be made to eradicate . the. nuisance. Our idea to do away with smudge smoke would be to heat orchards with electricity. They admit it is feasible, but claim there is not enough power, although we note that people from California are up here trying to negoti ate for our surplus power. - . '. We are going to stick our neck out here and say -we would amend the bill to prohibit nmoklng in trains, buses, restaurants and all public buildings. If those who smoke could see their lungs, they would see some soot color there. The Matter of Assessing In a recent visit at the assessor's office we hashed over our farm equipment, including our grain drill pur chase in 1912, to our newest Ferguson tractor bought' in 1951 and other old equipment that one finds on a farm. We got along fine in appraising the farm machin ery but when we got to the land, he got out- several maps, and finally located our land. Before he got through telling what the market value of such land was, and what we could sell it for, we walked out of there feeling like a money tree and had a' notion to go to Jack's Drive Up and get a hamburger. We contend the market value is not a fair appraisal for tax pur poses. Those who farm their land and keep it, should not be affected by the market value of land. We have been on this same land for some 70 . years, and the market value of land has never put any money. In our pockets. -pockets. We still believe that we farmers should appraise our own land. We know the gravel bars, the wet swampy places, the land that overflows and takes off surface soil and fences, and how much produce can be grown per acre. Really, the amount of produce land will grow should show its value. Since the legislators and members of the county courts set their own salaries, surely farmers should be allowed to apprise their lands. We wonder if they think -we can't be trusted. Our last Tablets dealt with being indestructible, and Jack Montgomery, one of the characters mentioned, came as near being Indestructible as anyone we have ever known. On a stage driving trip he was held up near Roseburg and in a scuffle to protect the mail and some gold on board, he was slashed across the abdomen with a knife, letting some of his intestines ooze out. He was picked up and sewed up, and was soon going again.' , Another time, in a brawl, he was shot through .the stomach with a pistol. When taken to a hospital in Jack sonville and placed in bed, the doctor examined him and said, "Jack, if you have any business to attend to, you had better get at it, for your number is about up." Jack replied, "There is $3 in my vest .hanging on the wall there, I'll bet those $3 that I'll walk out of here on my own power." And he did, and was a going concern around here for many years The Troubles of Chloe Doug Philips, the Mcdford veterinarian, has been a business visitor here lately. He was helping Chloe, the cow, out of a predicament which proved worse than the time she threw her ball and socket joint out trying to do the twist with the other cattle. If she keeps on getting into trouble, Doug may have to move out here. The death of E. H. Hedrlck was a severe shock to those of us who had known him for these many years, and realize that the loss to education will be keenly felt over a large area. We met Mr. Hedrick when he had charge of the Central Point schools. His kindly manner and sincere honesty, loyalty, and tolerance, made me glad to call him a friend. Thought for the day: "It is far.betler to wear out, than to rust out." : .. '.'

At Hornbrook Mteting Water Committee Formed By Katharine Chapman Mail Tribuna Corraspondtnt Hornbrook At a public meeting in the Grange hall last week residents of this area of northern California elected an 11-man steering committee for the purpose of promoting water development In the area. The election of this com mittee came about as the re sult of a previous meeting held in January at which various members of the Cali fornia Water Resources board met with local residents and outlined a six-step procedure to be followed in making a request for federal or state aid in the construction of one or more dams for irrigation and recreation. Last week's meeting was conducted by Marion Grieb, who introduced Vayne O. Ralston of Yreka, district dep uty of the Grange who spoke briefly. Ralston reminded the group that at a water meeting held in Hornbrook July 11, I960, a representative of the Soil Conservation district in Med ford stated that "Oregon would not control the taking of Grouse creek water this side of the Siskiyous." The headwaters of Grouse creek are in Oregon, and the Lumber Jacks, Jills Elect New Officers Prospect - The Lumber Jacks and Jills met at the community hall recently and elected new officers. New president is Ralph Goode. Secretary treasurer is Mrs. Bill Tarr. Stub Bean has been giving square dance lessons and at the end of the 10 weeks of les sons, which will c about March 16, there will be a graduation party for all who have been taking the lessons. Anyone interested in taking square dance lessons may con tact Goode or Mrs. Tarr. The present class has 24 members. creek figures prominently in the water study made by the state. At the time the survey was made in 1960, it was reckoned that about 1,200 acres of land would be bene fited by the construction of a dam or dams. This amount of acreage was considered too small to make such a project economically feasible. A more recent estimate, however, sets the amount of acreage at nearer 3,000 acres, which improves the picture. Connecting up these facts, Ralston concluded his re marks by saying, "Add the recreational program of Gov. Brown's to your need here for water for irrigation and for the town, and I believe you can make it." On a motion by Oscar Bar num, the size of the steering committee was set at 11. Mrs. Bertha Bradley then nominat ed for the committee, Robert Cummins, Marion Grieb, Frank Suetta, Leonard Bear, and Frank Lowe, all of Horn brook, and Vern Burns of Hilt. Other names placed jn nomination were Oscar Bar num, E. M. Rostoii, Alex Rutledge, all Hornbrook, Ho mer Watson, Hilt, and Chester Barton, Horse Creek. - The entire slate of nomi nees was elected unanimous ly. Since the majority of the steering committee were pres ent, they then elected their own officers as follows: presi dent, Marion Grieb; secretary, Bob Cummins; and the com mittee then proceeded to hold its first official meeting, aft er the general meeting had been adjourned.
