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

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.
