NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ifTir Ajji --ir. rliv.: HORSEBACK TRANSPORTATION Horses provide the natural way to reach the trout-filled lakes in the mountains that fringe Scott Valley, as there are no major highways and few logging roads into this primitive area. Also finding an absence of bridle paths, most tourists engage a guide or wrangler to lead them through the forest wilderness. Scott Valley Offers Haven For Sportsmen And Campers ETNA City folks who visit Scott Valley in western Siskiyou County should not arrive in rhinestone-studded jeans. A va cationer in this secluded valley fringed on its western bounda ries by the Marble, Salmon, and Scott Mountains is more a n t to be handed a curry comb than a martini. Fort Jones, one of four vil lages in me valley, has Scott Val ley's only motel, but the Scott Valley Chamber of Commerce can provide a list of varied ac commodations ranging from re sort facilities to pack trips into primitive areas. The valley is no place for the "dude" who wants to ride on bridle paths and relax in an air conditioned bar. The Scott Val ley Chamber of Commerce frank ly advertises the valley as the "last non-commercial recreation al area in California" and ad- mils tourist accommodations are limited. The valley residents are pri marily cattle ranchers and farm ers. While they are friendly and hospitable, they can take a tour ist or leave him alone. It is this "soft sell" that leaves many vacationers enthusiastic and brings them back year afler year. Limits of trout and the largest deer kill of any compar able area in California are suf ficient attraclions for the real sportsman. The spenders of the tourist dollar in Scott Valley, al though comparatively few in number, return to favorite lakes and primitive areas shep herded by .guides and wranglers who often become fast friends. Scott Valley is almost sur rounded by national forests and there arc no major highways into the Marble, Salmon and Scott mountains. The Department of Fish and Game lists over 75 angling lakes in the Salmon and Scott Mountain areas, and many more arc available to fisher men in the Marble Mountain Wil derness Area. Maps showing trails and camp sites may be obtained at any Klamath National Forest ranger or guard station in the valley. but local inquiry is advised. A trail that looks like an easy walk on a map may he a perpendicu lar, rugged climb. The Scott River itself is a famed angling stream. It reach Dover 'Sells'White Cliffs DOVER. England (Ui'D - The profit motive has reared its head over the white cliffs of Dover and the people here think it's "just not right." It all began when the Dover Corp., as the city government here is known, began receiving requests from the United States for small pieces of the famed chalk cliffs. Chunk by chunk, the corporation began chipping bits off this tight little island and sending them to! the New World to adorn some body's mantel.

The last decade has been the "most productive in the history of American furniture designs. said Sanford Wallack, designer for Basic-Witz. Interviewed during the Interna tional Home Furnishings Market here, Wallack said new designs for small rooms meet the need for storage, growing families and beautiful furniture. The bright paints and boxy lines of modern have been dis carded in favor of softened con tours, fine cabinet woods and touches of the traditional in moldings, inlays and hardware. The clinical look has been dropped, even though functional assets of contemporary have been preserved, such as built-in neat ness In cabinet interiors with specialized compartments for jewelry, shirts, dividers, and odd size items like handbags. The last 10 years also have given homemakers permanent collections of furniture so new pieces can be added as an adap tion of the open stock china plan. To get maximum use of rooms, furniture has climbed walls the last decade. The vertical move ment has brought a wide arrav of taller furniture along with shelf and cabinet wall arrange-l ments. This upward trend, said Wal lack, takes up comparatively little floor space. "Afler all. in small rooms, the only place left for furniture to go1 is up. he said.

Over 1,000 Farmers Use System (Continued from Page 1) ect is under contract to the KID, And so now the Klamath Basin irrigation system, once only dream in the minds of a few farmers, has come the full route to maturity. The Klamath Irrigation Dis trict operates 80 miles of main canal. 135 miles of sub-laterals, 175 miles of open drains and eight miles of closed drains. To maintain and operate this complex system is the full-time job of 30 persons, including man ager Ray Roberts and secretary .John Stewart. Roberts has been with the dis trict since 1036 and Stewart has been with KID since 1945. The district operates with an annual budget of about $300,00o! and is governed by President .1. R. Ratliff and directors John A. Marshall and John A. Short The budget includes payments to the federal government on the remaining debt and this will be paid off by 1970. With this modern system, the Klamath Basin farmer is able to order his water by telephone, giving only 24 hours notice At the minute he wants the water, it will be gushing into his held ditches. for this, the farmer pays $5,40 per acre per year, no matter how much water lie needs. If ihe has a 100-acre farm, he pays an annual rate of $340. Users who pump Ihe water from the canals themselves pay just half of that or $2.70. The KID now serves more than 1,000 farmers in the Basin, irri gating about 61,000 a.rres of land with 300.000 acre-feet of water r year. Today, the KID has fulfilled the mission that was begun more than 50 years ago. Nearly all of the arable land in the area is being farmed with adequate water. But although there are no plans for major expansion of the KID ystem, it will, in the future, con tinue to play the same role as in the past that of the key to pros perity tor t h e Mamath Ba sin.

LURE FOR SPORTSMEN Although the Scott Valley Chamber of Commerce adyer tises the area as the "last non-commercial recreational area in California" with limited accommodations, devoted fishing fans couldn't care less.

Almost every homeowner con ;ive the trees on his property the attention they deserve. A few tools will be needed mostly (or pruning and a little know how. Pruning can be done in the fall or early spring. Repairing damaged bark should be done as quickly as possible. All Park If you have grass growing right up to your trees, their sur- iaccs may be damaged by care less handling of the mower. Youngsters sometimes peel off bark, or young animals may gnaw on it.

Young trees with a tender bark are particularly tempting to small animals, Protect the low er part of the tree by wrapping it with a wire mesh. If you ex tend the mesh about six inches below the ground you can stop the animals from burrowing. Benefits of Pruning Pruning is necessary for sev eral reasons: For example, de cayed or broken limbs are a men ace and overcrowding growth de stroys the health of trees. You can probably prune small trees yourself and maybe even the lower portions of larger trees. For the topping and thinning of large trees, always call in a professional arborist. 'Before you do, make certain the tree isn't the responsibility of the city, as is otlcn the case when it is on the tree lawn.) Proper Tools You'll find that an ordinary hand saw won't do.
