Smith, Jr. Trail budgets planned for the next 12 months are an additional 3.3 miles to the existing McKenzie River Trail, 5.5 miles to the Fall Creek Trail, 3.5 miles to the existing Waldo Lake Trail, a 2.5 mile trail to Corrigan Lake, a half mile trail at Salt Creek Falls, and a one-mile trail on Johnny Creek, near Fall Creek, for the blind and physically handicapped. “'Phis trail program reflects the changing objectives for recreational trail development in the Willamette,” Smith said. “In the past, trails were primarily designed and built for administrative access and as a transportation facility.

MoMo missing LOUISIANA, Mo. (AP) - The search for MoMo the monster is still going strong these days even though thus far it’s turned up little more than a couple of unexplained footprints, a large dragon costume and lots of laughs. Last Wednesday, an early morning jogger in Cairo, 111., more than 200 miles downriver from here, reported he’d seen a tall, white monster. Police Commissioner James Dale and his men checked and found nothing. After this, said Dale, anyone reporting a monster will have to submit to a breath analysis test to determine whether he’s been drinking.
