DEFENDER OF THE
HELPLESS
Often the easiest way to
explain something is to tell
a story. Here's a story about
a horse.
The horse doesn't do any
thing; he gets beaten - and
because of that, somebody's
heart "wakes up" - and he
becomes famous and impor
tant. This happened to Henry
Bergh who was born in New
York in 1813, the son of
wealthy parents. Henry loved
animals but it never occurred
to him that a man could make
a career of looking after them.
But one day while traveling
in Russia, he was walking
down the street when sudden
ly he heard a horrid noise.
It sounded like someone sob
bing. He stopped to listen.
He was filled with horror
as he saw, a short way off,
a teamster standing beside a
heavily loaded cart which had
got stuck in the mud. The
load was far too heavy for
the old horse and it was
straining desperately while
the driver cruelly beat it with
a long whip. While it quivered
under the leash, the poor old
horse made a desperate groan
ing sound.
Bergh Comes lo Life
In a flash Henry Bergh
came to life, and he yelled
at the top of his voice: "Stop
that." A strange thing had
happened; Henry could feel
in his heart just the way the
poor old horse was feeling as
the cruel teamster beat it. He
seized the whip and then the
driver started showing at the
cart himself. Henry helped
him and together they eased
it out of the mud. Henry told
the man to never treat an ani
mal like that again.
From that moment on Hen
ry Bergh know his life's work
would be protecting animals.
He would never again stroll
the streets as a casual passer
by; from here on he was the
champion of animals. From
Russia he went to England
where he learned about the
Royal Society for the Protec
tion of Cruelty to Animals.
Then back to the United
Stales whore he was soon in
action.
Now he saw how cruelly
treated the horses were which
had lo pull the crowded busses
through the city streets;
slipping and falling on ice in
winter, and suffering from
agonizing thirst in summer.
He saw poor unwanted dogs
running everywhere and be
ing killed because ignorant
folk thought they were mad!
He saw poor tired herds of
cows and calves driven to
market, beaten and prodded,
and shown no mercy at all.
Now, he decided there must
be a lnw for their protection.
Gets Support
i He got plenty of support
from his friends in all walks
of life and the American So
ciety for the Prevention of
Cruelly to Animals was form
ed in New York in 18U6.
i Of course, even after they
tiHd secured a law (or the
j protection of animals it
i wasn't easy to get people to
j obey it. But, before Henry
I Bergh died in New York in
1 1888, he could soe every
where about him the results
of his life's work. He was one
of the best friends that ani
mals ever had and all because
his heart one day "woke up"
to a fellow creature's suffer
ing! The brutalities inflicted
upon animals have changed
since the days of Henry Bergh.
; Actually, the most cruelty is
caused by negligence, indif
ference and ignorance. . But
whatever the cause there are
: laws to protect animals and
birds. We have federal and in
some stales, humane slaugh
ter laws, wild horse law in
Nevada and other Western
states, hunting and fishing
laws to prevent the annihila
tion of some species and
various anti-cruelty laws. En
forcement officers are to en
force these laws the same as
for any other misdemeanor
or they would not be doing
; their duly. Sonic Humane So
cieties help in having the
laws obeyed also.
Let more hearts "wake up."
Let there be more Henry

' Lee said the new main will
provide better circulation in
the distribution system by
eliminating dead ends at

It was noted that the pres
ent end of the Big Butte
Springs pipeline is at the

reservoirs reaches customers

use, Lee explained, customers

Bank Debits in Area
Show Rise in Month
Bank debits for the South
western Oregon area includ
ing Curry, Jackson and Jose
phine counties, showed in
creases in February. 1063,
compared to the previous
year, the bureau of business
research at the University
of Oregon reported.
Debits for February, 1963,
totaled $87,977,593. For the
same month in 1962 the total
was $78,434,933.
miles from the reservoirs and
pressure recordings during
the summer months show that
it has been inadequate for the
past two years.
Extension of Pipeline
The main now under con
struction will be an extension
of the number 2 pipeline from
Big Butte Springs into the
Southwestern part of Med
ford. This will give that por
tion of the city water from
both the new main and from
its present source.
Lee noted that the benefits
derived from the new main
will be to the entire westside
water system since the re
maining mains will not be
overloaded.
The new main will not
service customers outside of
the city, Lee noted that the
route was selected because it
encompasses an area which is
rapidly urbanizing. An exist
ing large water main on Stew
art ave. made it impractical
to locate the main there, Lee
added.
The water department has
owned a reservoir site in the
vicinity of South Stage and
Dark Hollow rds. for many
years. Once this reservoir is
constructed, the south feeder
main will serve to fill U.
Earlier the department had
planned to construct the re
servoir first, then lay the 24
inch main. A detailed engi
neering study of the distribu
tion system found that the re
servoir could not be adequate
ly filled during the night time
hours to serve its function of
supplying water at peak de
mand periods unless the 24
inch main was installed.
The reservoir, to have a
10,000,000 gallon capacity,
will act as a distribution re
servoir to supply water dur
ing peak periods; to store ex
cess water during week ends
Oregon statehood. Corners
which are reestablished are
monumented with iron posts
bearing brass caps on which
the location of the corner is
stamped.
OLD POST An original section corner post set in 1855 by
government surveyors is held above by Cadastral Engineer
Joseph Gawron who has recently been assigned to the Med
ford office of the bureu of land management. Gawron's job
here is to supervise setting of new steel posts with brass
inscription caps on section corners in the area. Accuracy
of the original surveys will be checked' and new witness
trees established.
Cadastral Engineer
AoDointed to Office
The addition of a cadastral
engineer to the Medford staff
of the bureau of land manage
ment has been announced by
Donald J. Schofield, Medford
district manager.
Transferred to Medford on
a permanent basis is Joseph
Gawron, who has been with
BLM for 11 years, working
mainly from the Portland of
fice. During the past two sum
mers, Gawron has supervised
cadastral engineering crews in
the Medford district, but his
permanent transfer represents
a final phase in the decentral
ization of resource manage
ment responsibilities to the
district level,
Specialists In lands and
minerals management were
transferred to Medford last
year. BLM foresters have
been stationed in Medford for
more than 20 years.
Coordinated Management
The bureau is responsible
for the coordinated manage
ment of all resources on BLM
land, including timber, for
ages, water, wildlife, min
erals, and opportunities for
public recreation.
The Medford district is- the
first in the nation to have
qualified representatives in
all of the major resource man
agement specializations, ac
cording to Schofield.
He said that intensified
management of all forest re
sources necessitates the ac
curate delineation of. the
boundaries of all Federal
land. This is the responsibil
ity assigned to Gawron, who
will supervise two cadastral
engineering crews.
Gawron said the major task
is to properly identify the
corners of the original sur
veys, many of which predate
when water requirements are
reduced, and for emergency
storage.
City officials noted that
such an emergency existed
Dec. 2, 1962, when two of the
mains crossing Bear creek
were out of service during the
flood.
The project now under con
struction will cost $239,484.
It is under contract to the
Snelson Plumbing and Heat
ing company of Sedro-Wool-ley,
Wash. The project in
eludes the installation of 16,
050 feet of 24-inch pipe and
2,680 feet of 20-inch pipe and
related valves.
Construction was started
last month at the east end of
Garfield ave., and has now
progressed about one mile
west approaching Columbus
ave.
The water department
hopes to have the main in
service for the peak watering
seasons of July and August,
The steel pipe being used
for the project is in the long
est sections to be used in the
area 50 feet. They will be
joined by rubber gasket
joints, which permits the
making of joints without
welding or the use of tools,
Lee noted.
The exterior of the pipe is
protected from corrosion by
a coating of coal tar enamel,
fiber glass and asbestos felt
wrap. The interior is coated
with a centrifugally spun coal
tar enamel lining.
The pipe is bonded at the
joints to provide a continuous
electrical circuit, Lee ex
plained, which would permit
the use of catholic protection
to protect the pipe from cor
rosion if necessary. The pipa
will last a minimum of 50
years.
