The values of swimming are
numerous. Swimming can be
beneficial to the mind as well
as the body, they point out. The
program is meant for those not
only of superior athletic ability
but also for those with lesser
ability. Thus, it need not be re
served for the select few, but
is beneficial for the majority of
the population.
Those participating say the 50
mile goal may seem to be an
ambitious one, but the miles
tick off as a quarter mile or 440
yards at a swim are accom
plished. The 440 yards need not
be covered continuously. The
swimmer may stop and rest if
needed. Any stroke or combina

Two Boys
In House
Two 12-ear-old boys nabbed
by police in a house Thursday
afternoon are being questioned
about a recent series of burgla

about a series of house burgla

Assessing Timbgr Lend
How may the county assessor
determine the value of imma

That was the dilemma pre

Caldwell to representatives of
the timber and cattle industries
in the county courthouse
early today, as he and assessors
in 18 Eastern Oregon counties
took over the responsibility of
assessing timber lands in that
part of tlie state.
Last year, the state legisla
ture transferred the duty of as
sessing timber lands in East
ern Oregon from the state tax
commission to the assessors of
those respective counties, effec
tive Jan. il.
Ray Brackman, supervisor of
appraisals at tlie assessor's of
fice, told tlie group today that
sales of timber land during
the past five or six years indi
cated that the tax commission
has been assessing such prop
erty at too low a figure.
But a study of those sales
transactions has defied attempts
of the assessor's staff to deter
mine a realistic appraisal of the
market value of those lands,
Brackman told his audience.
1 He cited 16 timber land sales
during recent years in which
the price per acre varied from
$8.71 per acre to $57.35 per acre.
Reproductive timber had been
removed from the lands in the
two extreme cases.
In some other sales in which
reproductive timber was includ
ed, the price per acre went
from $24 to $34, but there was
no ready answer to explain the
wide variation in tlie unit acre
price, Brackman said.

Know-land Backs Goldwater
Former Sen. William F.
Knowiand, onetime Senate ma
jority leader from California,
was among the first to tab
Goldwater as a presidential
candidate and has been work
ing all year in his behalf.
A volunteer group of Goldwa

headquarters in Washington last
April and drew financial sup
port which ran over the $1Q0,
000 mark.
Goldwater, w ho just turned 53

Democrat Ernest McFarland in
an election for the U.S. Senate
in 1952 by a mere 7.000 votes.
This was the first time Arizona

11120.

the Senate in 1958 and mean

istic appraisals of these lands,"
he said.
The assessor's office also
needs help in another area, too,
Brackman said.
In recent years, timber lands,
in certain cases, have become
valuable areas for recreation.
Does this new usage increase
the land's market value, and, if
so, how great, should be that
new value.
In other cases, the value of
timber lands has also increased
w hen their use has been extend
ed as grazing lands or for sub
division as home sites.
Brackman stated that the as
sessed value of timber lands are
generally determined by geo
graphical area without regard
to the types of timber -growing
on the property, a method that
leaves something to be desired,
he said.
He concluded that the asses
sor's office and the state tax
commission were generally' in
agreement on the assessed val
ue of large tracts of timber
lands.

acres where we are in trouble,"
he said.
Passenger
Injured
In Accident
A 20-year-old woman suffered
whiplash injuries Thursday af
ternoon in a three-car rear-end
collision on South Sixth Street at
East Main Street.
Police said Lirda Fickcn, 4310
Gary Street, complained ot neck
injuries, but didn't require treat
ment. She was a passenger in a 19(12

Dwayne Ficken, 27, which was
struck in the rear by another
auto. The compact was shoved
into a third car stopped in front

Deplores Cuba Handling
In consistently conservative
expressions, he has deplored the
U.S. handling of the Castro
Cuba trouble; disapproved gov
ernment "spendthrift" tactics;
looked with some doubt on the
United Nations; and has advo
cated breaking of diplomatic re
lations -with Russia and other
Communist countries.
But Goldwater has not, in his
public utterances, espoused ex
tremist views of the far right.
Goldwater, a native of Ari
zona, has a blunt outspoken ap
proach to problems. He seems to
like to make a decision and
carry it out quickly.
He looks somewhat like the
popular image of a frontiers
man. He's tall, lean and tanned
an active lover of the outdoors
and pilots his own plane. He's a
major general in the Air Force
Reserve. Even his speech has
the ring of the Old West and he
has a folksy presentation.
