NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNALITHÜRSDAY, APRIL 27, 1989 LOWER BEND Another Sure Sign of Spring PAROLE BOARD A PROBLEM SALEM — Governor Charles A. Sprague is having some difficulty In gathering together a new parole board to administer the new parole system installed by the last legisla ture. Several of the prominent men to whom he tendered the position have evidently refused to take the responsibility of setting sentences upon their shoulders. Before he left for a trip down the Oregon coast highway with the highway commission, it had been believed the governor would have lined up the new board. But by the time he left he had made no an nouncement. It was believed in capital circles the job had ben offered to Dr. Bruce R. Baxter, president of Wil lamette university. Dr. Baxter evi dently declined. There was some talk the governor would also profer the thankless position to Dr. H. H, Olinger, Salem, who served on an ther thankless job—the state cap ital reconstruction commission Why the men are reluctant to take over the duties is self evident, under the recently enacted law, in determinate sentences are meted out from the bench, and it is up to the parole board to determine how long the convict must serve. To do so there must necessarily be much research into the man’s background, previous penal record, if any, and similar facts. A Professional Cards JESS R. BAKER OPTOMETRIST Graduate Univ. Cal.

The job carries no salary, pro- vidse $10 per day for each day spent in active service. No one. even though he live in Salem where his travelling expenses would be noth ing could make much money from a job like that. True, the position is not supposed to be one of profit, but it will take much time and keep the board member away from his own busi ness a good deal of the time. The new set up was fisrt suggest ed to Gov. Charles H. Martin by a federal board designed to study penal reform. COW HOLLOW By The Happy Farmer Everyone in the Hollow is irrigat ing now. There were about six of our farmers depending on getting money through the Farm Security administration for this summer's water and were held up for a while but now they have their water. So everybody is happy. Russell Howell is the first one in Cow Hollow to plant corn this year. Mr Hillis and son who live in Sunset Valley were over last week to make arrangements to use our corn planter. Mr. Hillis says “last year we has 18 rows of Sorgum cane about 100 feet long," They stripped the leaves off it and cut and hauled it to a neighbor who made it into sorgum molasses for half of it. Mr. Hillis got 55 gallons of sorgum and he says it is the best he ever ate. He is so well pleased that he is going to plant a much larger patch this year. Several farmers on this project who came from bean districts think this will soon be a big bean district too. Chet Sage while disking Tuesday left his team stand to go across the road to where Elza Niccum was fresnoing. He had been gone a few minutes when his team started up and seeing they were loose, got scared and ran for home. It was a tung type disk and a very bad thing to run with. You could see the disk bouncing and flying in the air. Looked as if it was chopping the horses feet once in a while. Soon half of the disk loosened and after a while the other section came loose and they ran on to the bam yard with only the tung trucks and two of the horses was loose. We only hope the horses were not hurt badly for the disk was certain ly damaged a plenty. Jim Trummell has been having the tooth ache. Elza says “why don’t you have it pulled we have a good horse doctor in Cow Hollow and he has pulled lots of teeth," Jim looks sad and answers “yes but did he ever work on a Jack.” Several of us are planning on tak ing in the opening of the new park grounds Sunday over by the Pheiler ranch. We hope to see a good ball game too. The Wahine club met with Mrs. Chet Sage Thursday with 14 mem bers and one guest present. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Chuck Share May 14.
