Bend's Mirror Pond Swan Here To Establish Silverton Family SILVERTON Silverton's swan song was resting at Silverton Wednesday when the third-swan arrived from Bend and was "launched" with Lewis Yates, custodian, as chief launcher, and witnesses including the employes of the city hall and the neigh borhood children. ? - . , - Silverton's swan history began . about three weeks ago when a pair. of swans arrived as aj gift from Bend. Silverton was delight- 'ed and at once began seeing swans In any number," floating up and . down Silver creek. The joy was short lived, however, for the first swan died the morning following its arrival here,1 and the second one survived its mate but a few days. f .:-"Tv- " ' Wednesday morning a " huge swan arrived, nicely crated and seemingly in the best of health. At mid-afternoon the crate was -opened, and the swan walked un certainly from its cage, slid slow ly down the bank to Silver creek, rocked uncertainly for a moment on the ; water, and then floated majestically down toward the Sil ver creek dam. Silverton officials are hoping to obtain another swan to keep this one company, they ' state. The bird seems perfectly at home on Silver creek, and spent the afternoon floating from ' the dam to the park and back , again, making it difficult for city hall employes and patrons of the library to keep their attention on their work and books.
