Thev were given reasons why the government olien closed coses became lax - puyers had msde voluntary disclosures of de linquencies or were aged or suf fering physical disorders, They aald thev also were coun seled that onca a lax cane was closed, a grand Jury couldn't dig mio it. And alter they looked over lists of tax caaca that had been shelved, thev accepted a auggea. lion bv the district attorney, the late Drake Watson, to make a partial report. Watson's assistants Hooner and William Coatello actually wrote the report which vindicated the way In which tax matters had been handled under former collec tor James P, Flnnegsn.

But district Judce Georire H. Moore wasn't pleased. He was "as. lonlshed" and told the Jury so. In fact, he re-charged It and pushed It to new -efforts. The result: a number of indictments.

Police set off the rest of them, Copco Winter Cloud seeding Program Had Positive Effect On Cascade Snow By HALE SCARBROUGH ' Cloudseedlng with silver iodide generators apparently had an "im portant positive effect" on precipi tation over the Casoade Mountain watersheds of Southern Oregon last winter, according to a report re leased by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and the Oregon Research Foundation. The cloudseedlng experiments were performed for the California Oregon Power Company by a Los Angeles firm. North American Weather Consultants, on 72 days between November and April. The idea was to see whether such cloud treatment would cause more winter snow to foil In the area along the Klamath, Jackson and Douglas County lines from which Irrigation water for Uie Rogue River Valley is obtained. John Boyle, general manager of the power company with offices In Medford, snld that there Is "strong evidence to suggest thnt cloudseed lng added materially to water sup plies of the Rogue River Volley. If further experiments can be contin ued next winter the beneficial ef fects on the summer water supplies for this entire area would be ex tremely Important."

Animals sne nas entered in tne local Rotary sponsored Junior Live stock show here In past years have twice been named to the top spot. Her sister Roberta took the purple ribbon In 1961 on a Hereford en tered in Yreka in county compe tition. Sale price on Oridley was 52 cent per pound, 13 cents under last year's price. The steer came from the Allen Lester herd, Oridley, Calif. A registered Hereford heifer calf was presented also to Coralee by tne -Bert Hoy Kancn, Eagewooa. In other divisions. Billy Welt- kamp, Tulelake, took third place on prime beef and Roberta Hammer took fifth. Ribbons were won by Bertll Johnson, Josephine and Tony Tschlrky on beef entries.

The seeding; - Is done from the ground, by generators aimed at the clouds, and evidently accounted for more snowfall on the western slope of the Cascades than would . have fallen normally. However, the one winter experiment actually wouldn't prove whether the snow making .attempt Is a success. Target area for the oloudseeding was about 1,200 square miles in the mountains where little streams rise to feed into the Rogue River. ' Whether the experiment will be repeated next winter remains to be seen. . Jackson Countv currently Is em broiled in a small war about its water, with a line drawn between cattlemen and dirt farmers on one side and orchardlsts on the other. For the past three years or so, the orchard owners have been un dertaking a cloud dispersal pro gram in the summer, sending up planes to seed thunderheads to shoo them away, thereby lessening the possibility ot a hall storm which would be tremendously damaging to fruit crops. The stockmen and dirt farmers, on the other hand, want the rain fall for their pastures and crops. . - The dispute has reached the point where an - organization calH the ' f ,. , - It ' , 3 ' '" -T ej Nets $1.50 Rotary Sale Grand Champ Beef "Charlie's" 968 pounds, and B-year-oid smokey Pritchett took S1452 back to his Fort Klamath home.

The 4-H champlon'a buyer was Bill Serruys, who as he did last year returned the purple-ribbon winning Hereford to the sales arena for resale. Metier Brothers bid of $677.60 was turned over to the Shrine Crippled Children's Hospi tal In Portland. A short while later Klamath stockman Lawrence Horton tossed young Rex Porterfield's prime 855 pound Hereford into the Portland hospital's basket after paying $513 for him. Reserve Grand Champion steer, Roxanne Wilson's Black Angus, was sold to the Willard Hotel at $1 per pound 917. Other champs drew good money, in most cases better than last year, but after that top bidding sales slacked slightly and the overall total this year fell slightly below last year when the total hit 141,. 156.15 with sittings. Beef alone brought $30,811.30 from 75 animals as compared with last year's beef total of $33,704.10.

The orchardlsts are fighting It. Although the argument between tnose who want the rain and those who don't largely is confined to the summer season, the ballot proposal might be construed as barring such experiments as winter snow making. - .-. The weather station for the Jack son County area is located at Med ford, and It shows that precipitation there this year is about average, despite the snow-making and cloud busting. The average for a year is around 17 Inches. Here in Klamath County, how ever, precipitation has been unus ually heavy this year 17.29 inches since las? Oct. 1, compared to a normal of 13.58 inches for the per iod and normal 13 inches for an entire year. ' And an unusually large amount of snow water ran off the eastern slops of the Cascades this spring and summer, feeding Into the Klamath River watershed. Whether any part of the extra moisture here has resulted from the snow-making efforts Is some thing to think about. Army Quells Series Of Koje Riots By WILLIAM C. BARNARD SEOUL. Korea WV-Deflant Red war prisoners tested the nerves of U. N. guards In a series ot Inci dents this month and guards "met every challenge" with maximum force, killing four and injuring 64, the U. S. Eighth Army said today. Most of the casualties occurred at the main U. N. war prisoner camp on Koje Island off South Korea, it was on Koje last June 10 that American paratroopers broke Red rule over prison pens In a bloody battle in which one American and 40 prisoners were killed and 140 prisoners wounded. An Eighth Army spokesman summed up disturbances in July arm August tnis way: "In the last few weeks, prisoners of war and civilian Internees in their new 500-men compounds have tried out the nerves of United Nations personnel, making trouble to see what force would be used against them. On every occasion we have used maximum force. We have met every challenge." DISCLOSE The Army betran yesterday to disclose the prisoners Incidents tn piecemeal announcements alter Communist broadcast charged the u. n. witn mistreating prisoners In August a year ago An Army srjokesman said there bad been no intent to withhold in formation and added that the de lay waa caused by a reorganization ot tne camp command.

The prisoner disorders occurred on two islands- ana in camps the South Korea mainland: 8 incidents were" put down without injury, some prisoners were Hurt in iree-ior-au iignts among the prison inmates, FIGHTING Fighting among prisoners has been common as Communist and anti-Communist factions clash apparently for power within the stockades. Two prisoners were killed In es cape attempts from mainland stockades. A . third prisoner was killed when he stoned a guard at Hospital camp no, a at Pusan. The fourth POW met death Aug. 23 when an Allied infantry com pany barged Into Koje's Compound No. 10 and forcibly halted a mass si n g 1 n g demonstration. Twelve otner prisoners were nun in tne fight. Of the 64 prisoners injured. 42 of them suffered gunshot wounds. The biggest single injury toll oi tne month occurred Aug. 11 when guards halted rioting, rock-throw ing Reds on Koje with 80 tear gas grenades and 12 rounds of birdshot from riot guns. Thirty eight Reds were peppered by the shot. Most significant of the Army's reports today was that two riots occurred on Koje Aug. 9. About 200 prisoners began brawling among themselves. Troops, using tear gas grenades, entered the compound and restored order. I 90'MSpatiat FN r:-vW-.'7 " ( t I j I , - - f ) I ? ' ' ' ' 1 1.. i i.ii i am, ,i i mi r ' ' ' (i...iufc4fc.
