Before Nyssa sheepmen and
their many herders make their
annual trek into the hills, they
trek into the doctor's office for
the U.S. vaccine which makes
them immune to spotted fever.
The middle of March to about
the first of June lurks the most
danger for all of those who
travel along the brush covered
trails where sheep have passed.
Only the infected tick carries
the spotted fever germ but they
seem to be far too numerous.

Malheur County Assessor,
Oscar Bratton announced today
the resignation of Butch Gehley,
appraiser for the Assessors*
office. Mr. Gehley was hired in
February to fill a vacancy in
the appraisal department. Geh
ley resigned to accept a large
increase in salary as an apprai
ser for Union County Assessor,
Dick Hartsock.
Bratton said, "1 would liked
to have kept Mr. Gehley as he
had the education and back
ground for an outstanding ap
praiser. In tile short time that
he was on our staff his work
was of high quality."
Bratton said, "I think it U
a sad situation that we cannot
pay our county employees a high
enough salary to retain them and
that our sons and daughters con
tinue to seek employment out
side the county for a better stan
dard of living. Apparently Mal
heur County will continue its
roll as a training ground for
