up in any month, but their peak

SASQUATCH!
The latest news bulletins
about Sasquatch are rather
unnerving I feel like taking my
m em bership card in the
National Wildlife Federation
and publicly burning it. The
e n tire
idea of such an
organization spending a lot of
money in an expedition hunting
for the mythical creature has
made the federation an object
of rid ic u le to m any N or-
thwesterners First, let us take
a long look at Sasquatch and
then a similar look at the
federation and see where there
would be any logic in the
crossing of their trails.
To me, and countless other
P a c ific N o rth w e s te rn e rs ,

monster that is supposed to
inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland.

throwing rocks down on them
from the cliff on the west bank
This was during a dry hot spell
in summer when rocks become
loosened in the lifeless dried out
soil and come tumbling down
off many steep slopes. In the
moonlight, who knows what
giant figures the mind can
conjure from tree and snag
silhouettes after surviving a
narrow miss from a falling
rock.
The Roaring River evidences
all turned up one winter, and
consisted mainly of rather ill
defined footprints(’ ) in the
snow. The so called sightings in
the St. Helens area have been
reported from time to time over
the years. Some in fo rm al
groups of young people and
older people alike have made
pilgrimages to these spots,
risked life and lim b in rock
climbs to some of the cave like
aperatures on the side of Ape
Canyon, and no group has come
up with any real indisputable
evidence. Some individuals
have accumulated several bits
of information including photo6
of indefinable large objects that
can, with a little imagination,
be likened to a giant creature of
sorts. Could it be these
creatures are so camera shy
they blur their own image on

Lately, Northern California
in the region of M t. Shasta, has
been the scene of new sightings

supposed footprints of a large

serious endeavour and ac

noteworthy. Their magazines
alone are worth more than the
price of membership. Why, all
of a sudden, do they want to
spend a substantial amount of
money on a wild goose chase
for a myth? They have been
advertising on television for
new members. Is this latest a
publicity stunt designed to put
them in the national news — a
gimmick to gain notoriety for
the purpose of attracting new

Straight answers to
the most often asked
questions about
your electrical service:
Is PGE researching to
develop new power
sources such as geo
thermal, solar power,
even the wind itself?
We certainly are.
Our research budget for 1974 is
nearly $900,000. Recently we con
trib u te d $30,000 to the state of
Oregon to aid in the exploration of
geothermal sources. And the elec
trical industry as a whole has set
aside some $100.2 million this year
for research. This amount w ill
undoubtedly increase each year.
Government and the e le c tric a l
manufacturing industry, too, have
recently increased the size of their
research budgets in the quest for
new energy sources. Increased
research is underway.
