A. Ormandy, General Paaenger Agent Southern Pacific Company, Portland, Ore. sf Mello’s versus WELDING High School Gym Sat., March 1 By Ed and Mendy Howdy, Folks: This week, we’d like to talk about business—-you know what that is? A« every M-hoi-Ihoy knows. Paul Bunyan was the discoverer of I" i'nv. and his blue ox, Babe, measured 42 axe handles and a pin el chewing tobacco between the horns. Paul had a way of changing the scenery wherever he went— adding a mountain here, carving out a bay there, etc. But when he came to Oregon, he couldn’t see a thing to change, it waV so per feet. sr T h a t’s tvhere pay our bills to the other fellow, so he can pay tht guy who owes us. * ♦ » * » • • ‘ ‘• q A ' X < • Oh. he did a few little things, of course. Built a whale corral on the coast (it’s called Coos Bav now). And Babe, the blue ox, got the blind staggcis one night and laid out the course of the Snake Riser. But by and large Oregon’s land-cape is pretty much as the great logger found it. and tree* are still the biggest crop. How- ever, don’t get the idea that all you’ll see in Oregon is trees. There are huge mountains shaped like ice cream cone«. There are big. stalely river» the Columbia and \\ dlamette and dozen« of smaller one«. (Two of these, the Rogue and McKenzie, are world-famous fishing streams.) There are many lakes, including Crater la k e so big and blue you won’t believe it. There are mil«« of wide, clean beaches edged with driftwood. Along the Columbia Riser Highway are all the waterfalls you’d ever want to sea. And if vou like dams, there’s Rennes ille, near Portland. ¿southern Pacific is the principal railroad in Oregon. Our Shasta Route run. from Portland south through Salem to Fug,me, where it divides - the Cascade line going to California through Klamath Ja ils; theSisktswu line through Roseburg. Cram* Pas*.
