Euaene Here's the latest bobcat story to cross the valley desk, and it's datelined Pioneer Loop which, of course, is over in Polk County . . . Some folks around here reported seeing a bobcat lately (wrote Jan Overholser) so Linza Dennis from Oakdale and his cousin. Earl Crowley from Cooper Hollow, set out last Sunday morning "cat" hunting. They each took two dogs and started at the William Thiesies farm with high hopes . . . Late that afternoon, after seeing signs of coons and foxes, the dogs finally treed the cat, only it was a nice, big yellow house cat. Are you still following the venerable Lincoln County hassle? . . . Before he hopped off for Los Angeles yesterday, Attorney General Bob Thornton called The Statesman to say that, if he-had been writing the headline for that Saturday story about Sheriff Welp, the headline would have been "Mr. Welp Yelps for Help. Mrs. Loyd Rablin of Hayesvillt brought in a clipping from the Des Moines Register irhich she thought might interest other Statesman readers ... it teas tcritten by c Mrs. Woodroff, (apparently a columnist) and began, "Biting into an Oregon grown apple this iceck, 1 was reminded of how few people realize that all the fruit industry of the Pacific Northwest started with 700 grafted fruit trees carried by wagon train 117 years ago from Salem, Iowa." The trees crossed the plains, the column continued, with Henderson Luelling, who packed the 700 trees and berry bushes into two long boxes in the bottom of his wagon. Half of the stock survived the seven-months trip and the little trees were credited with scaring off hostile Indians who, mystified by the prarie schooner's green leafy load, apparently Ihought the wagon train was under the special care of the Great Spirit . . . Luelling's first apples, produced in the Wil lamette Valley, sold for $5 each in San Francisco during the early days of the Gold Rush. Anyone who regularly drives the North Santiam Highway as far as Detroit Dam is aware that tumbling rocks pose a continual maintenance problem for the road crew in charge . . . With the exception of the two bad slides of the past two winters, never have I seen the route so rock-strewn as last Monday. A sharp freeze the night before was blamed. The ice pushes up. dislodges the rocks and down they come The road crew pushes them aside fre quently with a snow plow; even so a good many tires have been ruined there this winter . . . The Detroit Dam area is a good place to drive with caution. One of the most energetic fund-raising groups in the valley is the Lincoln Community Center Association which embraces a large area north of Salem on Wallace Road. The group's recent "mystery package" sale cleared $231 for a fund for a proposed community building . . . The group owns a tract of land and has about $2,000 in cash . . . Now members are thinking about setting up a neipliborhood-t ype of drire-m theater as a potential money-maker for this summer. Sen. Wayne Morse, you may recall, donated a ceramic rooster to the Lincoln benefit auction . . . Right after Morse bolted the Republican party, he received a gift which he said he planned to donate to a similar auction . . . The gift, a pair of cuff rinks, came from a constituent, and Morse thinks maybe the fellow was giving him the horse laugh . . Each cuff link had a horse on it, but the way the horses were turned, Morse couldn't tell whether they were laughing. While some businessmen have been singing the blues, a grocer over in Polk County has just finished enlarging his store for the third time in five years . . . The unusual circum stance is that thfts store is located right out in the open country, not even at an important intersection . . . The proprietor is Cecil Carey and his store is between Falls City and Dallas . . . He started with a glorified pop stand and now has a junior grade supermarket 2,500 square feet in the latest annex . . . Cecil said he didn't know the secret of success, but here's a tip: He works over 80 hours a week.
