8 A WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1963 EWeUr ttilL TtlBL'NE, MEDFORD, OltEGON Several Owners Seek Withdrawal From Sanitary District Regional Roundup by Clcv Twilchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor "My husband and I have just returned from a vacation trip up the Oregon and Washington coast line," writes Doris Robin son, our correspondent in Yreka, Calif. "I must say Oregon beaches just stole our hearts," she added. "We walked miles on smooth, wide, beautiful beaches gathering shells, drift wood, agates and rocks. "At Port Angeles we toured the second largest paper mill in the world and saw the process from the time the logs were lifted in bundles from trucks and dropped into the bay until the paper was rolled into large rolls, wrapped and stored. This plant makes paper for newspapers and telephone directories. It was a most interesting, smelly and noisy mill, but a well worthwhile tour. Reindeer And Brands "Coming home wo stopped over night at Redmond, Ore., and next morning visited the reindeer farm. The owner brought the original herd from Alaska. He lost all but one, because he didn't understand enough about their diet and care. Seven times he has brought in animals for his herd and has perfected a feeding formula for the babies. Both the male and female deer have antlers; the babies get theirs at the age of three weeks. Some of the males have huge racks of antlers which run way down on their noses. The story about how he trans ported these animals from the wilds of Alaska is quite a story. " He now hitches his trained team to a sleigh at Christmas time and appears in many parades and at public functions. At his farm he has a cute little stable with a stall for each of Santa's deer with the name on a feeding pail at each stall. I believe he had some of these deer at Medford shopping center last Christmas season. "Another interesting place we visited at Redmond was the new 'Brand' restaurant. The walls are covered with authentic brands burned into wooden plaques. The owner told us he thinks he has the largest collection in the world. There are 1,200 brands, all belonging to Oregon and still more coming in. He also has on display some genuine Texas longhorn cuttle horns. I just can't imagine any animal with such huge horns, don't see how they could hold their heads up. The horns dis played on one wall were over eight feet long. The big rock fireplace had a cozy fire burning to take the chill off the air and the friendly owner Bob Blair visited with us. He says there are many colorful stories about his brands. We wished we had time to stay and hear about them. They are a conversation piece for sure." Items From The "Mixer" From the house organ of Ideal Cement company, called the "Mixer," these items about Ideal's Gold Hill plant personnel: "Terry Andrews, daughter of Air. and Mrs. Harry Andrews (general foreman), was among the nine officers attending the state executive council meeting of the Oregon Association of the Future Homemakers of America at Lincoln Beach, August 19-23. She is state vice president from Rogue River chapter. "Ralph Slayter, Mill Foreman, and his family have moved Into their new home on Foots Creek." The Buckets Were a Myth "The correspondent in Jacksonville," writes Kathcrine Harrcll, our girl over there, "hangs her head and reports that the fire l'riday morning was NOT put out by a bucket brigade for.v.rd by the volunteer fire department." Poor Ka.'.:i'ine has probably been kidded to death by the firemen on this one. When she was obtaining informa tion on the fire which destroyed the old Auguste Petard home, she was informed that the firemen's hose couldn't reach the fire. i Unfortunately that did not mean that a bucket brigade was formed. In this case, the fire department's two trucks, one with a 500 gallon capacity, the other with 200, were filled up at the nearest hydrant and then were driven to the scene of the fire, where firemen used water pumped from the trucks to fight the blaze, i "The fire department in Jacksonville is known to be one of the best in the state of Oregon, well manned and well equipped," Kathcrine concluded. "Humble apologies from this correspondent for having them fight a fire with buckets that went out with the 5-ccnt cigar." Meeting Planned In Talent Oct. 24 To Discuss Issue TALENT The South Talent Sanitary district board of direc tors has called a meeting for Thursday, Oct. 24 to meet witn a group of district property own ers who are threatening to withdraw. The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. in the Talent city hall. Those property owners who have indicated a desire to with draw arc located in portions of the district which under present plans would not be served by a sewer immediately. At a meeting of the board Oct. 3, Sid Laswell of Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merry- field, engineers for the district, explained two plans for financ ing a sewer system to serve the most heavily populated part of the district. Accepted Plan 1A Plan 1A suggested a 15 mill tax levy and a connection charge of $400, plan IB a 10 mill tax levy, $150 connection charge and $4.60 front footage assess ment. The board resolved to ac cept plan 1A, so that those prop erty owners not immediately served by the sewer would have to pay only the special tax levy. Plans 2 and 3, which cover eventual sewer service for the balance of the district, were not discussed at the Oct. 3 meeting. But both will be discussed at the Oct. 24 meeting. Plan 2 cov ers the area along Highway 99 from the north Ashland city lim its to the vicinity of Ben's OK .Second Hand store, plan 3 all the area between Bear creek and the freeway and between Suncrest rd. and Valley View rd. "The board is obligated to work toward construction of a sewer system for all of the dis trict, and these plans do so in three stages," explained Don Grimes, board member. 'Misunderstanding' He said he thought those threatening to withdraw were doing so "because of a misun derstanding of this fact. Thomas J. Rcedcr, Medford attorney, will represent the property owners at the meeting. Kalph Roderick of Cornell , Howland, Hayes and Merry field and Jeannctte Thatcher Marshall, attorney for the dis trict, will be on hand to explain the program. "There are provisions In the law for withdrawal of property which cannot be served or which for a good reason the owner does not wish to be serv ed," Grimes said. "There also is provision for annexation." "The board suggests," he add ed, "that each property owner bring with him his assessed valuation so that the costs can be figured for him."

Jacksonville firemen also an nounced that the firemen's ball is coming up in November, the exact date to be announced later. Proceeds from the ball go to buy new equipment for the lire department.

Suggestions Sought On Remodeling Of I00F Building Regional News California Official Looking At Siskiyou Recreation Potential GOLD HILL - At a recent I - session of Amethyst Rebekah lodge No. 97, Mrs. Albert Gas- con, noble grand, reported that Rebekahs had been asked by the Odd Fellows lodge No. 129 to offer opinions and ideas for suggestions in regard to the re modeling of the lower floor of the I.O.O.F. building. When the project gets under way, it is planned that the ante rooms, lodge rooms, rest rooms, kitchen and dining room area will be relocated on the ground floor of the old brick building. This will eliminate a long flight of stairs. Efforts were started last Jan uary by Rebekahs and Odd Fellows to raise money for that purpose. Since then the building fund committee members have donated many hours of work to date, along with other mem bers of the lodge on various projects.
