Chief to Readers
Of This Paper '
Greater co-operation betweep
Eastern and Western Oregon in
-working out the problems of the
entire state- was urged by Gov
ernor Norblad in his New Year's
message as the greatest need of
the state darlng-1931.
: "Such. co-operation would
mean that Oregon soon would as
sume her natural . and rishtful
place a the fro at door of tbe
United States the door through
... which would extend the trade
channels reaching oyer one-half
, the population of the world, the
governor declared.
In characterizing the state as
containing "the true spirit of the
friendliness of the West Gov
ernor Norblad stressed the ' un
limited resources with which the
state Is blessed and urged their
continued and rapid development
In all branches.
Text of Message Given
The text of the governor's
message, issued exclusively , to
readers of the Oregon Statesman,
Is as follows:
"It is a new year, new' condl
tlons, new bones, new futures,
new Joys and sorrows confront
the people of the great state of
Oregon as preparations are made
for 1931.
We read In history of the de
velopment of the Oregon country,
which really is the- growth and
development ef the entire Pacific
Northwest a thriving region
literally teeming w.'th potential
possibilities in all lines of en
deavor. "Oregon history is filled with
, ioc ruiuaucc urn iu luniuuf i
adventure of the earlv explorers!
from the time the earllesf white
man arrived, through the -days '-of
the traders, the pioneer settlers
who barkened io the call of the
Golden West and" even onto to
day "In If 43 rame that most bis
tort westward march of man
kind and from that time the Itn
rafgratlon has continued as the
true stories of thla. land, the
rsrden spot of the world, hnve
filtered eastward. Since that
time Oregon has developed ; and
prospered most rapidly, with 96.
000 square miles of territory and
wonderful resources which are
being brought rapidly into
usage. "
Farming IjmnH Ts Rich
"In the fertile valleys west rf
the Cascade mountains may bo
found some of the Richest farm
ing land In the country. East of
the mountains i stretch the" . great
plains and the far reaching
fields of grain; Oregon is fam
ous for her fruits and vegetable?
and the' forests form a great
natural rejetfyce. Its fisheries
are world famous, while, manu
facturing and commerce continue
to grow in a most healthy man
ner. We have the mountains, the
ocean, the delights of a moder
ate climate, fr.n abundance of
health-giving sunshine, the mar
ble balls of Oregon, Crater Lake,
the "Alps of America." the beau
tiful flowers- which add joy and
gladness the entire year around
and we have in Oregon ths
true spirit of the friendliness of
the West. '
"Oregonlans should learn and
are learning that- the problems
of Eastern Oregon are the prob
lems of Western Oregon, and the
problems of Western Oregon are
the problems of Eastern Oregon.
Such co-operation would mean
that Oregon oon would assume
her natural and rightful place a3
the front door of the United
States the door throurh which
would extend the trade channels
reaching over one-half the pop
ulation or the entire world.

We are blessed with the priv.

AT T IS GR0U1
For the past two' years and
more, groups of people whose
numbers varied from six, to SO
at a time were to be sen tak
ing themselves to' tbe Woods, the
trails, the open ' fields and the
mountanls. At almost regular In
tervals came announcements that
a bike would be led by Mr., Mrs.
or .Miss So and So, the mileage
was approximated together with
a word about the country ' to be
covered, and tbe hikers ; turned
out accordingly.! This little group
of nature lovera bas grown from
a small nucleus which was or
ganized, as the ! Cbemeketans, In
September, 1928, .to a large fam-
lly of 84, the present member
ship. It bas been the purpose of tbe
club to awaken an Interest tn
the exploration ef Oregon, to
stimulate a love for the moun
tains and forests; and to create
a desire to visit such' places on
foot. In addition to hiking and
mountain climbing, tbe Chemek
etans have enjoyed swimming,
snowshoelng and skiing, and each
winter season there bas been an
expedition to Government Camp
on Mt. Hood for snow sports. '
Hikes td "Tall Timber"
Perhaps the most outstanding
activities of the club are the
annual outings, which hare been
called by all who partake in
them "perfect vacations." The
first was a week spent at wild
and beautiful Marlon Lake, high
up in the Cascades, miles from
civilization. . An ascent of Mt.
Jefferson was a climax of the
week. The second outing in 1930
was two weeks of wholesome fun
in the Three Sisters - country,
with a climb up the North. Sis
ter, and an incidental three-day
trip to Crater Lake.
There have been week-end ex
cursions to the coast, many ov
ernight trips necessitated by an
early start for a long tramp, sev

and Trails clubs, both of

Steady operations two shifts

continued two-shift operation at
this plant which manufactures
salmon nets, fish twine, sack

operated for several years and
under present management has
proven very successful, i
During the year a controlling

Soundness of Structure
is
Stressed by Hoss as
Year Closes
By HAL E. HOSS
Secretary of State
Tbe year 2930 baa been an tin
portant one from the standpoint
of state affairs. In that a certain
stability seems to have been at
tained a tllity which . is es
sential t sound J development
and la a starting basis for any
consistent program.;
True It is that politically and
on the surface we have been in a
state of constant turmoil. Also
certain it is that all departments
ana commissions whose ' beads
secure their positions by execu
tive appointment are undergoing
certain misgivings and tempor
ary Internal upheavals because of
the nnrertafnltv nf tVif
- V" v. . iCUUtCp
but what I refer to Is the general
solidarity or jthe whole state
structure from; an I administra
tive point of view, u
State ins; utlons wera never
supervised I a better personnel
than now makes np tbe group of
superintendents and; executives.
Outside of lack of adequate facil
ities for coping with their prob
lems facilities which may be
provided by legislative enactment
only, and which constitute main
ly better buildings and physical
equipment, the various state sup
ported and state aided depart
ments are maintaining blsrh
standards of inmate morale and J
managerial efficiency . "T"n
The value ef the successful and
harmonious operation of a state
institution cannot be measured
tn dollars and cents the man
agement, conversely, with its
attendant opportunity for disast
er, always is costly, and liable to
prove a tremendous -expense,
not only in money but 1 in prop
erty and human lives as well,
and not only to the state as a
whole, but In particular local
communities wherever depraved
minds choose to operate.
Institutions in Al Condition
For myself, then, as a mem
ber of the state board of control
under whose jurisdiction the
management of the state Insti
tutions come. I have a feeling of
gTatltude and thankfulness to
the heads of tbe various divI4
slons of the state work. who. by
their loyalty and 'devotion; to
auty, are so conducting the' af
fairs of their offices as to make
for a Justifiable feeling of se
curity and effectiveness It takes
more than the salary appeal to
secure good men 'ana women for
state service jat our institutions,
and tbe record now being made. I
think, is clearly indicative of tbe
healthy condition to which I
have referred. i
In . my department I look back
on a year of preparation for
many Important developments.
During 1930 the statet depart
ment, has been planning and
working toward the desired ob-

It Is not sentimentality which
nrompts ma to say that I believe
a new spirit of usefulness and
service , is abroad in al depart
ments of the commonwealth's
activities. Department heads
who - know human , values, and
have proper conceptions of em
ploye psychology, are bound to
know that a happy and contented
group of workers becomes an ef
ficient and,- loyal group, reflect
ing their own conditions . In the
quality of the service they hep
to render, and v thus establishing
a new standard in the eyes' bf
the public toward all state aadJ
publle operations. In my , mind
there is nothing more . sadly
needed than a more charitable
public attitude toward its public
wprkera a new appreciation iof
long hours and unselfish effdrt
in. essential activities designed
for the protection and .conven
ience of the people as a whole.j
All's well In state " circles for
1930; I believe In our Institja
tfonal management; ' 'and plains
are maturing which presage suc
cess for the new year.

While the year has been another

the Kay. mill has succeeded In
getting a good share of orders
and. Its operationa have gone for
ward with fairly satisfactory
volume through 1930. There was
a lull in the summer but tbe de
ferred buying was felt tn Sep
