Boy Heart Malady
Victim's Funeral
Set For Tuesday
Funeral services Tuesday mark
the tragic ending to a poignant
drama that took Gary Eugene Win
slow of Drain to Minneapolis,
Minn., for a rare heart operation.
The 13-vear-old son of Police
Chief and Mrs. Klmcr L. Winslowi
died Friday after the operation
which had been performed to cor
rect the lifelong defect to his
heart a hole in one of its valves.
The operation was made possible
through a series of drives for
funds in Drain. At Minneapolis
later, that city even opened its
arms in the vain attempt to save
him. City policemen there donated
18 pints of whole blood for the
operation.
Gary was born in Coquille Dec.
2, 1941, and came to Drain with
his parents two years aao from
Suthcrlin.
Beside his parents, he is surviv
ed by a sister, Connie Jo of Drain;
and his grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Omen A. Winslow of Brew
ster, Kan.
Funeral services will bo held at
the Methodist Church in Drain
Tuesday at 1:30 P.m. The Rev.

as advantageous to Suthcrlin anil
Oakland.
Sulharlin's Cas Prasantad
On the other side of the contro
versy, the formidable list of com
ments from the Sutherlin-Oakland
group came from:
F. L. Thompson of Sutherlin. He
called the route "vital" to the
Sutherlin-Oakland area.
John Buchanan, a Sutherlin mill
owner. He said the route from Wil
bur to Lone Rock had not been fa
vored by his area, but it had
been agreed to accept it when
the county court promised a short
route would be built later. He
said County Engineer Floyd Frcar
said the Bradley-Gassy Creek
route could bo built with an ad
verse grade not over 3 per cent,
Buchanan concluded that the
county court would make a "fair
decision."
Robert Hansen, Sutherlin, pres
ident of the Uiiipua Improvement
Assn. Drawing from a 1950 eco
nomic and industrial survey, he
listed facts which ho said pointed
up the need for additional timber
ressources. He said eight mills in
the Sutherlin-Oakland area wore
employing 3,000 and supporting a
payroll of half a million dollars.
He also said between 2,500 and
3,000 peoplo living in east Suther
lin and Nonpareil would benefit
from the route. Ho said many of
them work in ths North Umpqua
area but have to take a round
about route through Roscburg.
Ben Martin, a manager of the
Martin Bros. Box Co. of Oregon,
Oakland. He said in his company's
operation, somo 1,400 people are
employed with an estimated pay
roll this year of 3 million dollars.
He said this year alone, Sutherlin-Oakland
lumber interests have
bought 58 million board feet of
timber in the North Umpqua-Lit-tle
Hiver areas which would be
hauled over such a "short-route."
Richard Adams, an owner of
Nordic Plywood Co. of Sutherlin..
lie said the company is going
ahead with an expansion at the
mill to raise the number of em
ployes to 200. lie said tho life of
ins plywood plant was contingent
on the supply of timber.
Bridge Request Made
All told, the battery ot informa
tion from Ihe group has been (ho
basis for the request to Hie court
for tho last Ihrco years. The Sutherlin-Oakland
area has been work
ing on the project for tho last
five years.
Tho major part of tho request
rests on a contention of need for
a "competitive" route into the
vast stands of tho North Umpqua
region of Uic Umpqua National
Forest.
As a postscript to the discussion,
W. L. H. Osborne, a landowner
in the Glide area, requested con
sideration of a bridge across the
North Umpqua at Hog Hock, west
of Glide instead of extension of
the road on the north side of the
nvnr In l.nnj rinr-lr lln c.;.l ii
..ii.i.i t.aui nm in misir-
burg for landowners on that side
of the river.
Buchanan took exception to the
request, raying it would extend
the distance from Sutherlin to the
upper reaches of the North Ump
qua area.

nassed the steeds. The lead e-

train hit the top of Rice Hill there

Traffif alnnir the new and old
sections of Highway 99 slowed to

grew impatient. In some stretches,
automobiles lined up a good 2'h
miles behind the riders.
lnuod On Hill!
Host experts expressed belief
the express riders "lost out on the
steep hills." During those grinding
hauls, the horses were slowed
down, sometimes to five m.p.h., and
even the Mercury-swift runs of
the ponies on straightway! couldn't
make up the lost minutes.
A full, summer moon helped
light the riders' way as they game
ly sped past scores of parked mo
torists. Many drivers had driven
to the top of Rice Hill. More
cheered at highway junctions.
Largest spectator (urnout south of
Cottage Grove, prior to the race's
end, was at the Suthcrlin junction,
where some 200 assembled.
Bv that time, approximately 2:3.1
a.m., the "iron horse" was out in
front. Even so, the riders began
to pick up precious lost minutes.
The lights of Roscburg grccled
rider Judy Strode at 2:57 a.m. as
she raced her mount down the
new stretch of highway south of
Winchester. As the express drew
closer to the hi' depot, i lie noises
turned on incredible bursts of

the Far East Air Forces called "a

Red China charged they flew over
Manchuria on a Mission for "the
U.S. secret intelligence service."
A Chinese military court last
November sentenced them. ..
Behaved "Fairly Well" -
The Red radio commented:
"During the period in which
these It criminals served their
sentences they observed discipline
and behaved themselves fairly
well. The authorities in ihargc so
reported to the military tribunal of
the Supreme Peoples Court and
asked leniency for them.
"The tribunal decided on July 31
according to law to release these
U criminals before the completion
of thir terms and notified the
authorities in charge to carry out
immediately the release procedure
and to send thorn nut of China.
Peiping's announcement w a s

English - language broadcast. It
gave no other details.

cause for nationwide relief and joy.
The While House issued a state

In Congress also there were
general expressions of joy. Some
members said it raised hopes that

Permanent Lead Given
'Crawler' On Rice Hill
(Continued from Page One)
flagged to one of many stops en
route to Roseburg.
Lead Changas At Rice Hill
Seventeen miles (railroad dis
tance) and 40 minutes later, the
train caught up to and passed the
horsemen for the last time. That
was on the steep Rice Hill grade.
The ponies had their last chance
to catch up when a group of
Paul Bunyans from Roseburg
boarded the train at Sutherlin ob
viously to delay the train. Then
they asked the conductor to stop
the train at Wilbur and again at
Winchester while some of the new
ly arrived passengers disembark
ed.
it nearly provided the horses a
chance to catch up, but not quite.
The "Nightcrawler" groaned away
from Wilbur as the highway pro
cession sped up from the rear.
Nearing Roseburg, the horse
men look the new Winchester
bridge in a short-cut over the new
highway. The train was in sight
then, but had too great a lead.
Engineer Claude A. Bridenstine,
who Saturday termed the race
"foolish," eased Ihe passenger
carrier into the Roseburg depot on
schedule. Seven minutes later,
Spencer's horse thundered down
Oak Street to the depot.
Few Cheers For victor
A crowd of 2.(100 which had ga
thered in a celebration at the end
of the derby, loudly cheered the
rider as he came to the wire. Ar
rival of the "Nightcrawler"
aroused much curiosity, but not
much cheering. Possibly it was the
first time the majority of the spec
tators had seen the train at the
Roseburg depot.
A crowd of about 400 persons
gathered at the start of the race
in Eugene.
Only once was there an accident.
It happeded Cottage Grove
when a horse ridden by Don
Spencer, Roseburg, slumhled and
fell, throwing SPENCER. But both
got up unhurt.
The cars in the jam following
the riders along Highway 99 fared
worse. One Eugene photograph
er said he counted six minor traf-
fie accidents in the wake of the
horses.
It took ths combined efforts
of saddlemen from seven organiza
tions to keep the horse race going.
They were led by the Douglas
Countv Mounted Sheriffs Posse,
Suthcrlin Timberline Trail Rid
ers, Myrtle Creek Saddle Pals,
Yoncalla Saddle Club and Cottage
Grove Saddle Club. Members of
the Lane and Josephine posses
also took part, though their organ
izations didn't participate offici
ally. From Cottage Grove to Rose
burg1, the competitors were within
sight of one another much of the
time.
Little lo-do over the race was ap
parent in the towns long the rail
route. At Cottage Glove, a crowd
gathered. But depots were nearly
deserted in Drain. Yoncalla and
Oakland. A few persons were on
hand at Suthcrlin. The horses drew
most of the attention.

The attitude of the O&C counties
is being stiffened, Judge Hill
said, because the interest of the
counties is so great. The counties
receive a 75 per rent cut of reven

acreage. Also, the timber must
be harvcsled soon because of old
damage by fir, wind and beetles.

cific" stood up all the way. Each
of the railroad men kept his even
temper in the face of considerable
bantering by passengers.
Race Closa Throughout
It wasn't known where the
horses were until the train reach
ed Cottage Grove, where local
citizens informed reporters the
train was six minutes behind the
"Pony Express."
First sight of the two-mile-plus
traffic procession was caught by
passengers at Creawell, but status
of the ace was unknown.
Sentiment among passengers
clearly was in favor of the horses,
and expressions of disappointment
were made when the train finally
caught ud with the horses near
Curtin. They chortled when t h e
train stooped there and the horses
forged ahead.
The horses were sighted only
twice both times near Curtin. But
a police car's red flashing ,ti:
and the beams of Billy Mohr's
floodlight truck kept train riders
informed of the position of the
race on the highway.
Several of Roseburg's Paul Bun
yans hopped aboard at Sutherlin,
but only to ask that the train stop
at Wilbur and Winchester, an ob
vious tactic to delay the train. At
Wilbur, the pause nearly suc
ceeded as the horse! could be seen
bearing down on the train. But the
"Nightcrawler" was under way
asain before horsemen could
come abreast.

the mishap. The body was taken
to Stearns U Little Mortuary, Oak-,
land (See obituary, page 2.
The accident had a number of
eve - witnesses, including coast
guardsmen and Card Safley, man
ager of Salmon Harbor.
The boat, the 27-icot custom-built
Viray, was washed onto the jetty
rocks and still is there. It was
badly battered from having been
rolled several times by the wave.
Ne Life Jackets Worn
Jensen said it was apparent none
of the six men was wearing a
life jacket. Five jackets from the
craft were found later in the day
washed up along the beaches.
"If they had been wearing their
life jackets," he said, "it's possible
that it wouldn't have been quite
so tragic."
Coast Guard personnel and rela
tives of one of the missing men
continued a search for the bodies
today.
The relatives were those of Bow
man's wife. They were covering a
beach sector from the river mouth
north to the Siltcoos outlet. Coat
guardsmen from Winchester Bay,
Coos Bay and Florence searched
sections of the beach stretching
from Florence south to Coos Bay
in the hope that the tide might
wash the bodies ashore.
'Airplin Joins Search
Sunday, Sheriff Ira C. Byrd flew
a plane over the 16-mile-long area
flanking the river - mouth, but no
siin of the missing men was found.
Fog hampered the search at times
I during the day. ,
i Jensen said a Coast Guard boat
was at the scene seconds after the
mishap came at 10:30 a.m. Satur
day. A second boil was there in
about two minutes.
But the accident had happened
so near the jetty that .the boats
couldn't maneuver.
The fatalities were the first at
the Umpqua bar since 1953. The
bar long has been notorious for its
dangerous seas. Eighteen persons
have drowned there since 1951.
The Coast Guard Saturday morn
ning had warned small boats to
! stay clear of the bar, Jensen said.
