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."

GOLD HILL - At a recent I -
session of Amethyst Rebekah

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.
