$100,000 to be spent for forest trails
The Willamette National Forest will spend more than $100,000
during Fiscal Year 1973 to construct approximately 16.3 miles of trail,
it was announced by Forest Supervisor Zane G. 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.
"The current program, however, reflects more concern for
recreational needs of people in lower elevation areas of the Forest.”

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.
