OrEXIN'G THE NORTH SANTIAM From the Cnnyon Commorcinl club, centered t Detroit (Oregon) and I dan ha, conies the invitation-to attend the dedi cation of the new North Santiani highway. The ceremonies are to be held at Breitenbush bridge, also new, near Detroit, Sunday. Governor Douglas McKay will formally open the highway shortly before noon, after which the celebration will turn into a good old fashioned picnic, done in accordance with the best Oregon tradition. To join in the festivities, there will come a motor caravan from east of the Cascade moun tains and another from western Oregon. The occasion, it is easy to foresee, will be a memorable one. And, of course, it should be. Opening of the new route will be significant in more ways than one. It will call attention to a great power development of the not distant future the construction of the Detroit dam and marked changes in the area as a man-made lake makes its appearance to hide the rugged canyon and nearby terrain. It will remind the many attending the celebration of the industrial and business op portunities which will follow in what has heretofore been barely penetrated wilderness. And it will emphasize the im portant advance in east-west communication which the new highway, now approaching completion, will represent In all these things, progress and development. In them. too. will be cause for just a bit of regret for the passing of old, familiar things. Most of us who have driven the North San tiam for years have looked forward to its replacement by a modern highway but there was, nevertheless, a charm in the crooked, narrow road which wound its way along the rocky - side of the steep canyon. It was, we think, one of the loveliest of drives if you did not have to share it with too many. Now and then, in earlier years, it was possible, by picking the right time of day, to travel the greater "part of this section with out traffic competition. Slow driving, yes, but it was worth it. Masses of green, mountains rising high above, and down below the turbulenttream. Wild beauty, its appeal sharpened by the peculiar thrill of loneliness. " The old road, as time went on, came to carry- far more traffic than such a road could carry with safety. But it was used more and more. For all its crookedness it was the quick way from the inland country to the capital. It needed re placing, needed it badly and this, with the imminence of dam construction and the further needs that this would bring, resulted eventually in the development of the new location. In what we have said there is no intended suggestion that this new route will be found lacking in beauty. It is different but in its difference is beauty also. It will be easier, far easier than the old road, but the loneliness, the feeling that here is your own individual way through a major mountain range, will be gone. Instead, it will be traversed by thousands as it becomes more and more recognized as a link in a direct east- west route not only between eastern Oregon and western Oregon but between the states to the"-east of Oregon and the western parts ofour own state. It will relieve the congestion on other routes and, in its own right as well, become a main traveled highway. . The invitation of the Canyon Commercial club somehow brings these things to mind. Surely there is cause for the celebration that is planned at Breitenbush bridge and the cause is not merely local. We expect to join in the celebration, too, and, as we do so, the importance of the changes which it heralds will reconcile us to the passing of an old, charming and (to be perfectly frank) somewhat dangerous road- Out on the Farm Bv Ha S. Grant Aug. 13 The Young Man had the biggest thrill ol his eight years, when he saw his first ro deo last night. We started out for Prineville right alter dinner, clutching the press pass that would admit us to the Crooked River round-up. Preparations for the trip were so involved, you'd think we weic going to New York. The Chiel checked the 10-year-old car for mechanical difficulties, turned off the sprinkler motor so it would n't pump the pond dry, changed the water in the garden and pol ished the Young Man's 'shoes. When we finally drove out of the yard and had just started down the lane, the Boss slopped the car, backed up, and returned to the house to make sure he had put out his last cigarette. Since we were already six miles out of Bend when we leit home, we took a "short cut," which didn't cut down our driv ing time more than 20 minutes or so. The Powell Butte road, the route we chose, winds through a lot of picturesque country, and will afford another scenic drive out of Bend when it is improved and oiled. When we got into the Irrigated area, we marveled again at what the soil will produce when it has water. It's always such a surprise to make the final turn before ap proaching Prineville, and to see the lights of the Crook county seat twinkling like stars In the little valley. The' Young Man was breath less with excitement as we drove Into the rodeo grounds, parkpd the car and headed for the grand stand. Ho had the choicest seat in the press box, and was fasci nated by the show, right up to tho final bull-riding exhibition. Dorothy McCulloch Lee and the' Mayor's husband were there. The Mayor was dressed in gray, and wore a little white straw hat with an up-turned brim. One of the big moments of the show, I thougiit, was when the 1 11 club members and Future Farmers of America led their, stock into the arena. The steers and calves and dairy cows and Bheep, carefully groomed for the parade, were beautiful to look nt. The hare-back bronc riding was the highlight of the rodeo events, wo thought. Tho horses really gave i.ll they had, and so did the riders. BULLETIN OREGON PRESS Tha Band Bulletin (Pally! Et 1014 And Carlaln lioltdaya by Ina H.-nd Itiillft.n Hand.

News) The present rate of government spending-must stop. The govern ment cannot continue to go on spending more than it takes in by borrowing millions In various bond crives. The spending program will not only swamp the national economy in time, but the things for which the money is spent will in a short time take away all the freedom for which this nation is famous and of which it is justly proud. The new programs outlined by the administration will send this nation down the same well greased skids that the British na tion is now descending at such a rapid rate. It is time we woke up. The government is not giving us some thing for nothing. Everything the government gives it must get from the people, and every bond it issues m"st be paid some time by the people. " The promised povemment se curity for all from the cradle to the grave will come only after the government t'kes over all Individ ual rights. Then we shall find that the promised security is but a shell loaded with slavery. We have come to expect every thing from the government. Pro tection, security, artificially maintained high prices and wag es; . free medical and hospital care, old age pensions, pay when we are jobless, and scores of other services which were never intended to be part of the gov ernment's duty. We must stop asking for these handouts and we must insist that our representatives in Washing ton see to it that the government is stopped short in Its spending spree. If we do not stop this present government trend, and do it now, we are heading for economic col lapse and socialism. This is not a job for the other fellow to do. It is your Job and mine, and the job of every citizen, high and low. If we do not ex press our will, if we do not raise our voice, the time Is coming when we will have no will and no voice.

It relates to proposed orders that the department of in terior make contracts with Pa cific Gas and Electric Co. and Idaho Power Co., similar to a contract now in force between the government's southwestern power administration and the xexas Power and Light Co. The catch in this attempted mandate is that the Texas Power and Light contract was a spe cial agreement made to fit pecul iar circumstances not found in the California and Idaho areas. Forcing a Texas Power and Light projects would in effect restrict the government to developing only secondary power to supple ment primary power developed by the private companies. The Texas contract was drawn up to handle only the public power developed at Dennison dam. This is a flood control dam built by the army engineers on the Red river, wnich forms the boundary between southern Okla homa and lexas. Not enough water flows through the Red river throughout tne year to make possible the delivery of a large load of firm power by Den nison dam generators. But the water held at Dennison dam dur ing heavy rainfall runoff is suf ficient to deliver a fair quantity of secondary power for limited periods. About" the best Dennison can do is deliver firm power for eight hours a day, plus limited sec ondary power. This is hard pow er to sell. Southwestern power adrri.nibtration has no other gen erating capaoity in this territory to tie into. But it does have a number of potential preference customc-t s among rural co opera tives in the area. They could not be served, however, because Tex as Power and Light controls all the transmission lines. On the other hand, Texas Pow er and Light was in the position of needing reserve power lor its peak load periods in the after noon and evening. So here were all the elements for a good trade. Under the law, department of interior is selling agent for pow er generated -at flood control dams built by army engineers. So in April 1947, Southwestern power administrator Douglas Wright made a contract for tne department with Texas Power and Light. i a a a In brief, southwestern power swapped its secondary power for delivery at peak-load periods, in exchange for firm power from Texas Power and Light for de livery, to the government's coop customers. It is a good deal for both sides. It increased the com pany's capacity. It marketed the government's power and deliv ered it to its customers. The unsuitability of this Texas Power and Light type contract for other government installa tions having the capacity to de liver large quantities of firm power is obvious. The central valley project in California with l10,000,000 ex penditures now authorized will have an annual oulput of 2.301), 000,000 kilowalt hours.

It's a whirlwind courtship be tween a friendly P.ritish family of 13 and 31)8 residents ot Tim dell. The warmness of the n-manf-e makes the recent Rita-Aly go-a.ound dull in comparison. This is the real thing for Tri dell, though the newcomers ar rived here only last June 10. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hartley and their 11 children have fallen in love with pint-sized Tridell. And the little Mormon commu nity in eastern Utah has that same star-happy look tucked in side its nearby green rolling hills. House, Prepared Hartley wiped a tear from his eye in front of the new five-room house that, was prepared for his family by friends at Tridell. He said: . i "You have something great and I big here you have frontiers, food. After 56 years, I've finally . found a home." Tridell had never been more ex-' cited. It welcomed Hartley into Its voluntary police force. The first night the family was feted at an ! old-fashioned pot-luck supper. The amiable Englishman ad-1 mits he's sentimental. And about ! his new "fairyland home" nestl- j ing in the foothills of the Unltah mountains, he's overly sentiment-! al. Hartley said: I "America is like a Christmas' irec wiin tnousanos oi gills all wrapped up in pretty packages. New York was a gift it was bus tling, busy, ambitious. Pittsburgh was another gift -a dirty gift, hut a gift wrapped In steel and coal."

Hartley's only disappointment was "seeing Americans walk down the street looking like they had worried minds. What Is there to worry about In America ex cept keeping the nation free? Tridell residents say they are sure the British family return their affection. It was only a few days ago that a newspaper re porter at nearby Vernal, Utah, asked how It felt to be 5,000 miles from home. Replied Hartley with a smile: "We're not very far from home only 22 miles."
