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.
