Mountain-climbing is usually
simple business, consisting merely
of "picking them up and putting
them down." I like to do a moun
tain a year and last Saturday my
son and I tackled Grizzly Peak
which rises from the south side of
Pamelia lake in the Mt. Jefferson
country. He had worked on trails
in this region for the forest ser
vice nearly 15 years ago and re
called Grizzly as one of the satis
fying and not too difficult climbs.
It is both.
To get to the mountain you
drive on the North Santiam high
way beyond Detroit and Idanha
to the mouth of Pamelia creek.
A logging road leads in some three
miles but it is closed now be
cause of the fire season, so you
have a six-mile hike to the lake,
the last four miles of it through
the deep forest. The normal sil
ence of the woods is broken by
the noise of many waters Pame
lia and its tributaries, Red and
Milk creeks as they tumble in
cascades from their mountain
springs. The grade is steady but
not steep, and the trail after it
takes off from the road is an old
one, easy to follow.
The forest is mixed. Douglas fir
predominates but there are many
trees of noble fir, some hemlock,
quite a little western cedar and a
sprinkling of white pine. Still
visible are effects of the great
storm in April, 19 31, when
many trees were blown down.
This was the dust storm.

State's Voters
To Decide on
Deficit Funds
Oregon electors will vote in No
vember general election on a state
eeneral fund deficit which the
state tax commission Monday fix
ed at $6,430,069.
If the deficit is approved, it will
be met by surplus funds from state
income tax revenue which goes to
ward offsetting property tax levy.
This procedure was upheld last
week by the state supreme court
as litigation over the state income
tax surplus came to end.
State governmental functions
financed by legislative appropria
tions will cost an estimated $39,
971,726 in 1949, according to the
years tax levy as announced won
day.
- Of the total requirements $19,-
771,948.49 represents the amount
inside the six per cent limitation
and $20,199,77733 the amount
outside the limitation.
The levy estimates miscellane
ous receipts, surpluses available in
the general fund and unexpended
balances at the end of the fiscal
year will total $6,204,207.88. This,
applied to the requirements inside
the six per cent limitation, redu
ces that amount to a net of $13,
567,740.61. - Against the net amount is ap
plied the state tax base of $7,137,
671.51, leaving the deficit of $6

Armed Forces
Move (Toward
Jobilntegration
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 -Wh
Integration of the army, navy and
air force moved one step closer
today on paper at least with an
agreement that each must call on
the other for help if that will cut j
costs and do a better lob.
At the same time it was agreed
that each service shall have the
responsibility of figuring out what
is needed for a task in its primary
field.
The net effect apparently is that
when one of the fighting arms has
a big job on hand it will get along
better with the high command if
it gives full consideration to the
equipment and know-how the oth-i It covers the "gross national pro
er services possess, and invites aid I duct" - - the dollar value of all
if aid would be useful; on the other
hand none of the services can el
bow into another's field without a
bid.
That was the principal result
announced today by Secretary of
Defence Forrestal after a closely
guarded ; weekend conference with
top men of all three services at
the naval war college at Newport,
R.I.
As Forrestal stated lt more for
mally, the joint chiefs of staff and
the civilian heads of the three
fighting 1 departments agreed on
the fullest consideration and use
any available forces, regardless of
service, if they add to the effec-
tiveness and economy of the oper-
ations." I
At the same time it was provid

The second quarter rate is more
than 21 per cent higher than the
1946 actual output of $204,000,000,-

000,000 from the first quarter of
this year.
It was achieved In spite of a
slight decline of Industrial output
in June, resulting from shortages
of material. This was reported by
the department yesterday.
A major part of the rise, how
ever, was a reflection of inna-

consumer goods, where the physi-
cal gain in output did not match
the rise in value.

four-power talks. on blockaded Berlin seemed assured earl
today after envoys of the three western powers conferred
nearly five hours with Prime Minister Stalin and Soviet For
eign Minister V, M. Molotov. j j
As U. S. Ambassador .Walter Bedell Smith returned to
ms embassy at 1:40. a. he told i
newsmen he expects "more meet
ings" between the representatives
of the United States, Britain and
France and the soviet leaders.
The ' meeting opened In the
Kremlin at 9 o'clock last night
and was believed to hive been
the longest talk Stalin ever has
had with foreign representatives.
it exceeded by about one hour the
longest previous session in the
current Kremlin talks which be
gan July 31. ,
i Asked by newsmen about ' the
progress of the talks, Smith re
plied: (
We're always optimistic. We
expect the best and prepare for
the worst."
This comment from Smith
seemed to indicate that the long
session with Stalin had injected
new life into the four-power con
ference and that, contrary to ex
pectations, it win continue.
! It was learned on excellent au
thority that the three westerners
took their case to Stalin after a
snag developed in recent meetings
with Molotov. It was the second
session the prime minister at
tended. He and Molotov met the
envoys August 2. Molotov was the
ranking Soviet official at the
July 31 and August 6, 9, 12 and
lcui meetings.
' Before the meeting opened last
night ! observers predicted freely,
here and abroad, that this was
to have been the last conference.
Smith appeared in a happy
moodd This .comment on being
optimistic contrasted with the
"no comment" reply he has given

ings, j
Many observers In Moscow
frankly expected disagreement

German issues. It became clear.
noweyer, after this meeting that
there j remains a good chance to
settle the German Issues here in
Moscow.
During the long session, lt was
reported without confirmation
that Smith and British represen
tative Frank Roberts were plan
ning to leave Moscow soon Rob
erts possibly within the next 24
hours. After the session, how
ever, i it was presumed both en
voys had cancelled such plans.
Smith returned to the embassy
with Roberts and French Am
bassador Yves Chatalgneau. They
retired almost immediately to
Smith's third floor study for a
three-power meeting.
It was assumed that they would
draft! their reports on the meet
ing for transmission to their gov
ernments in Washington, London
and Paris.
Among western circles here
there was a feeling that lt may
be possible to make decisive pro
gress in the next i few weeks on
the Berlin and German problems
and arrive at what ultimately may
be the foundation of a genuine
settlement satisfactory to both
sides. i

Cltf annexation ballot j pro

Monday night. j
Three such areas on 'ordinance

city council at its meeting ia

said east Salem residents are; pre
paring petitions suggesting the
extension of Salem boundaries

Silverton road south almott te
State street. r j
As, if to underscore these ; signs
of expansion, the council Voted
last night to purchase a part of the
Vista Heights water district
which now lies within Salem city
limits. The city will pay the engineer-appraised
valuation of
$5,397 and will complete the
transaction by taking up approxi
mately $8,400 worth of Vista bonds
now held by the state treasurer
and receiving in cash from the
water district the $1,000 differ
ence. !;'
, The move . was prompted
south Salem residents who- ha-
had to continue buying water
from the district since their prop
erty was annexed to the city more
than a year ago, because of the
general obligation bonds ) out
standing against the water dis
trict. City officials reported to the
council that only about 20 of the
302 Vista customers live Inside
city limits, but that some 50 newer
homes in that area have received ;
regular city water connections.
The Vista district buys water
from the city of Salem and In turn
sells it to its customers and to
the Salem Heights water district.
City Manager J. L. Franzen said
most of the water, lines will be
used by the city and the change
over can be accomplished at vir
tually no cost to the city other
than the equipment purchase.
The council's annexation action
last night included introduction
of a bill proposing annexation
