Community French Pete hike-in planned A French Pete “hike-in” has been planned for next Monday by Nature’s Conspiracy, a University student group, to demonstrate support for protecting the Oregon Cascades valley from logging. The “hike-in” is described by Fred Swanson of the University Survival Center, co-sponsor of the event, as “the most effective action we can take at this time” to preserve the wilderness qualities of French Pete valley. He points out that at the turn of the century there were 65 Oregon Cascades valleys, each more than ten miles long, which had seen no timber cutting. Today, only three, including French Pete, have been unaffected by logging. According to Swanson U c. Senator Mark Hatfield and U.S. Rep. John Dellenback have been invited to participate, as have their op ponents in the coming November election, former senator Wayne Morse and former congressman Charles Porter. Among conservationists planning to attend the “hike-in” are Brock Evans, of Seattle, Northwest representative of the Sierra Club and Steve McCarthy, Portland, executive director of the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group. The public is invited to join the “hike-in” which begins at the Lowder Mountain trailhead parking lot at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. Cars will leave the South Eugene High School parking lot at 19th and Pat terson at noon. Those who wish to drive to the trailhead should take the McKenzie Highway five miles past Blue River to the Cougar Reservoiir turnoff, follow this road four miles to the dam, cross the dam and follow the East Fork Road (1778) 11 miles to the parking lot. The hike will follow an easy trail for about one mile, offering excellent views of French Pete valley and surrounding cut-over valleys. Hikers may return to Eugene by 5 p.m. City Hall parking space doubled The number of parking spaces under the Eugene City Hall has uvn doubled.
