Regional Roundup
by Cleve Twltehell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
One of the best tonics to take after participating in
an unpleasant meeting of an organization or govern
mental body is to read about someone's else's troubles.
It does wonders.
And so for the benefit of any city councilmen or other
valley residents who may have been subjected to abuse
recently, we are reprinting the following excerpts from
a news story that appeared in the July 11 issue of the
Cloverdale (Calif.) Reveille. We suggest that you clip
it out and stick it away in a corner. You might need it
some day.
The article was entitled "Capacity Crowd Attends
Stormy Council Session." Portions of it went like this:
"The regular meeting, which began at 8 p.m. and
continued until 1:30 a.m. before a capacity audience,
was frequently enlivened by verbal disputes involving
councilmen and the audience. One citizen was threat
ened with ejection by Mayor Leroy O. Johnson for
interrupting the chair.
"One of the topics of controversy was the boiler at
the sewage disposal plant, which Mr. Whipple and
Walter E. Brelje, city engineering consultant, stated
was beyond repair and should be replaced. Mr. Poltrone
asked who had authorized a trip which Mr. Whipple
had made to San Francisco to seek bids for a new
boiler . . .
"Mr. Field introduced a motion to purchase a boiler
from Power Boiler Sales, Inc. of San Francisco for
$428 plus tax. Several persons spoke from the floor, with
discussion becoming so heated that Rev, R. Vaughn
Smith, pastor of the Methodist church, admonished
one speaker on the use of profanity , . .
"Disagreement first erupted at the outset of the
meeting, with the reading of the minutes. Mr. Poltrone
challenged the wording of the minutes for the June 4
meeting, concerning the fencing of the ball park. After
a quarter-hour discussion, the council amended one
word . . .
"Following the boiler dispute Mr. Poltone questioned
mileage payments to Mr. Holmes and William McCul
loch, members of the airport commission. Mr. McCulloch
explained the validity of the payments , . .
"Mr. Poltrone then questioned the fact that 95 gallons
of gasoline were unaccounted for in the city's gasoline
report. He asked who had keys to the tank. The state
ment was made that the loss was 'probably' due to
evaporation ..."
Which goes to show that life is pretty much the same
all over.
How To Report
Sunday Fires in
Phoenix Outlined
Grants Pass United Fund
Lowers Goal To $29,950
Grants Pass - A reduced
goal of $29,050, described as
more "realistic," has been set
for the annual United Fund
drive here this fall, it was
announced by M. L. Cudd,
drive chairman.
The new goal - was an
nounced after campaigns in
two previous years failed to
raise an allotted $35,500.
This years drive will be
keyed to a realistic approach,"
Cudd said. "Our agencies will
be able to plan on the money
we have allotted them, not
some undetermined reduction.
"Even our own administra
tive and campaign expense
budget was slashed to get a
realistic goal," he added.
Starting dale for the Sep-
l tember drive is yet to be set.
Phoenix - Any Phoenix res
ident who is unable to reach
the Phoenix Volunteer Fire
department to report a fire
on a Sunday should call the
Jackson County Sheriff's de
partment, advised Mayor Dar
rell Paxson today.
The mayor's statement was
an outgrowth of, an incident
last Sunday in which a city
resident, attempting to report
a fire at his home, was unable
to reach either the city fire
or police department and fin
ally had to call the mayor
himself.
The telephone number of
the Phoenix Volunteer Fire
department rings in the
homes of three members of
the department, Paxson ex
plained. It happened last
Sunday that all three were
not at home, so the phone
went unanswered.
The caller next dialed the
number of the city hall, but
since it is closed on Sundays,
that phone did not answer
either.
The county sheriff's depart
ment can reach the Phoenix
police on Sundays, however,
Paxson pointed out, explain
ing why residents should con
tact the sheriff's office if they
cannot reach local firemen.
The sheriff's office phone
number is 773-3607.
The Phoenix police, in turn,
know which firemen are
home on Sundays and can
contact them.
Gold Hill Chamber
To Meet Thursday
Gold Hill Members and
guests of Gold Hill Chamber
of Commerce will meet
Thursday at 12 noon for a no
host luncheon and business
session at Rogue Riviera res
taurant. At a recent meeting of the
chamber held at the Darda
nelle restaurant guest speak
er was Charles S. Collins, ex
ecutive vice-president of Cal
O r e Recreational Develop
ment association. Collins ex
plained that the organization
represents an area composed
of five counties, four in Ore
gon and one in California.
Object of the association he
stated is to promote new rec
reational projects and expan
sion of present facilities to
keep pace with the rapid in
crease and public demand.
He said the non-profit corpo
ration's operating funds are
derived by. pro-rata assess
ments of member counties
and subscriptions from pri
vate sources.
The guest speaker showed
slides of various recreational
sites both those that are com
pleted and those under con
sideration. He also showed a
drawing of the proposed Gold
Nugget park to be located on
highway 234 about 1V4 miles
from the city of Gold Hill.
Work on the project should
get started, he said, in the
near future. He said prelimi
nary work such as acquiring
property, grading and drilling
for water is to be done by Bu
reau of Land Management,
after which the balance of
development of the park is to
be done by the state, as the
park is adjacent to state high
way 234.
Arrangements were made
with Frank Sutcliffe for a
Chamber of Commerce tour
of the Ideal Cement plant at
Gold Hill on July 13.
The business session was
conducted by Ralph A.
James, president.

Marian Southard of Happy Camp,
ANOTHER CATCH
well known for his "cat" hunting abilities, poses with his
latest catch, a mountain lion killed near the Ti Bar guard
station July 9.
Mountain Lion Killed
Near Ti Bar Station
By HAZEL DAVIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Happy Camp- - Marian
Southard and his hunting
hounds brought home another
mountain lion, this one killed
near the Ti Bar Guard station
on July 9. Southard figured
the male cat was about 2 years
old and weighed about 60
pounds.
According to Southard, who
is well - known for his hunt
ing knowledge of these ani
mals, he received word from
Earman Pence of the Happy
Camp Ranger station that a
cat had been seen near the
station at Ti Bar right behind
some residences.
The report stated that a lit
tle boy was playing near his
home and went into the house
to tell his father to come out
and look at the "kitty cat."
Upon examination, it was
found to be quite a large "cat"
and the call went out for
someone to track down the
animal as it was gone before
anyone at the station realized
what was in their midst.
Southard and his two
hounds found the track that
morning and before long tha
dogs jumped the cat and ran
it about five minutes before
treeing the animal. Southard
said that he thought there
might be a second cat around
and that he hunted for quite
awhile after the kill.
He found where a deer had
been killed by the cat just a
short while before it was
jumped by the dogs. South
ard said he planned to return
to the place and maybe find
the second cat, that he was
sure was around there some
where.
Marian Southard has been
long known for his hunting
skill with these animals,
sometimes staying for days
with his hounds on a trail be
fore treeing their animal.
Southard will collect a $50
Siskiyou County bounty for
his kill. The state just recent
ly removed the bounty from
the head of mountain lions.
