Impressions
of
Central Oregon Visitors
Is Alaska still properly termed
a frontier? Is it little changed
from the days when men conquer
ed the region with dog-team, sour
dough, and raw alcohol the days
of Klondike Kate, claim killings,
gold madness, malamutes?
Three browned, blue-eyed
Swedes brothers grinned and
were dubious, yesterday, as they
sprawled In a big sea-green car
whose license plate bears the
eight-starred flag of that great
domain once called "Seward's
Folly."
"Seems like It's altered some,"
grinned Ordean Iverson, eldest of
the men, none of whom looked
older than 25. "Few months ago
I drove the 3000 miles from Fair
banks to Sheldon, Mont., with a
nine-day-old baby aboard!"
Made History
It was 24 degrees below, when
they left Fairbanks. Folks shook
their heads and said they'd never
get Ronnie to Montana alive. At
the Canadian border, officials
were unbelieving that the bundle
of blankets was a baby, until it
cried. Then they said Ordean
Iverson and his wife and her sis
ter ( the baby's mother) had
made history. "Y'oughta call the
papers, wire Life magazine," they
were told.
Inside the car the women rode
in thin blouses and listened to
soap box operas from the car's
radio. Outside, then, as now,
snowy wastes hundreds of miles
wide lay hushed, and cold, and
waiting, along the Alcan trail.
Waiting for a tire to go flat the
engine to knock the oil to freeze.
Now Seeing Country
This trip only men are aboard.

Part of Game
Refuge Open
To Hunting
Advocated by stale game com
mission biologists and hacked by
central Oregon Npoi'Ismcn, open
ing of that portion of the Des
chutes game reservation lying
south of the posted Paulina creek
road from its Junctions with U.S.
highway 97 on the west and the
China hat road on the cast has
been approved, it was learned
here today.
Hunting will be permitted In
the newly-opened section of the
refuge when the deer season
opens on Oetolier 1. The season
this year will In1 the same as last
year, from 'October 1 to Drtoher
JO, both days inclusive.
Opening of the southern part
of the Deschutes game preserve
will be partly offset by it closure
north of the Paulinas, according
to Information received from the
state game commission lotlay.
The part to lie closed is known
as the Bessie butte area, Des
chutes county, and Is defined as
follows:
Are Defined
"Beginning nt the Junction of
the northwest corner of the Des
chutes game reservation with
U.S. highway 97, then northerly
along U.S. highway 97 to Its Junc
tion with the Arnold Ire enve
road, thence southeasterly along
the Arnold Ice cave road to its
Junction with the Deschutes
game reservation b o u n d a r y,
thence west along the north
boundary of the Deschutes game
reservation to its Junction with
U.S. highway 97, at the point of
beginning."
Opening of the southern part
of the refuge was advocated by
biologists to permit the harvest
of bucks, which, some sportsmen
say, are dying of old age. It Is
also Intended as a move to thin
the deer population In the area.
A recommendation that local
sportsmen would approve the
change in refuge boundaries wan
made earlier In the year. The
state game commission acted on
the recommendation at Its July
meeting, when tentative hunting
regulations for 19-19 were set,

Old Age Pension
Referendum Due
Sulem, July It dli-Petitions
for referendum of the old age
pension Oct passed by the 1949
legislature, brought In from all
parts of Oregon and containing
more than 23,000 signatures, were
field with the office of secretary
of state here this afternoon.
Several representatives of the
old age pension referendum
group, headed by Joe K- Dunne
of Portland, (lied the petitions
with Dave O'Hura, manager of
the election division.
The effect of the filing will be
to suspend operation of the act
until the voters have a chance to
vote on the matter ut the gen
oral election In November, 1950.
Dunne, a leader In a drive for
old age pensions, predicted that
the voters would reject the law
enacted by the legislature after
the people had voted for a $50
minimum pension at the general
election lust November. Said
Dunne:
"The old folks and their friends
will show their utter contempt for
the legislature which turned down
our bill and brought out this sub
stitute In Its place."
Daylight Vote Due
The bill passed by the legisla
ture would provide for a mini
mum pension ot $50 a month pro
vided there was money available
In the general fund. The bill
passed by the voters would have
provided a $5Q pension with no
such provision attached.

Walla Walla, Wash., July 1-1 '0'
Jake Bird, u sly, legal-wise negro
who three times has wriggled out
of hanging for the uxe-slaylng of
a Tacomii woman, today puffed
his clgnr a little faster when lold
the U. S. supreme court denied
his last.mlnute pU-o.
He was scheduled to climb the
gallows steps at 12:05 a.m. inn
Friday. His confidence received
another blow when Gov. Arthur
B. Langlle's office reported It had
"taken no action, contemplates no
action."
The appeal-artist, who claims
he "hexed" to death -six persons
connected with his trial, was sent
enced to hang for the murder of
Mrs. Bertha Kludt. 21 months ago.
Since then, he has used every
legal trick to escape the hang-
mans noose, three times, date 01
hanging was set but each time he
received a last minute stay of
execution.
The 47-year-old negro has con
fessed 29 murders, 11 of which
police at least partially substan
tiated. But Bird says, "It doesn't
seem right they should hung me."
Petition Dented
Today, Associate Justice Hugo
L. Bluck denied his petition. II
was the third time in four months
the supreme court has declined to"
Intervene In the case, previously,
Bird received slays from the
Washington state and federal
courts.
His first date with the hangman
was postponed when former Gov.
Mon Wallgren Intervened to give
authorities time to Investigate the
many murders he had confessed
to.
Bird, ' who fidgeted earlier to
day and hoped the supreme court
would "hurry up," was told he
lost his appeal by Warden Tom
Smith.
"He still feels he's lucky
Smith said. "He thinks something
still ran happen. But the news ob
viously was a blow."
At 2 p.m. he was taken to the
death cell for the fourth time. Ills
fourth "last meal" will lie served
at 7 o'clock and four officers will
once again wait on him.
