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.

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*. Medford
and A»hland. (Klamath Falls. Grants Pass and Medford are the
gateways to Crater U k e «National Park.)
