Yesteryear's Press Mobility
Anvonfi readimr Georire S. Turnbull's History of
Oregon Newspapers cannot fail to note the rapidity
with which new weeklies sprang up in the -early days,
regardless of sparse population, the frequency with
which changes in ownership, and even in location, took
place.
Nor can the reader, familiar as he doubtless is
with high degree of mechanization and the heavy in
vestment required in publishing even a relatively small
paper in the present day, fail to marvel at the mobility
of the press in eastern Oregon a half century ago.
; If he wonders why there should have been this
moving of equipment from one spot to another and the
anDearance. virtually over-niuht. of a new paper here;
and there he has his answer in the fact that in those
dnvs of settlement and filinir of claims there was an
immediate business return in the" publication of land
notices which were required before patent could be is
sued. : -
One of our favorites among the stories related by
Turnbull has to do with the race to preempt such a
field at Silver Lake. It is recalled by announcement of
the death of one of the men, S. M. Bailey of Prineville,
one of the participants in that highly competitive en
deavor. ! Mr. Bailey, associated with W. C. Black in the
ownership of the Crook County Journal, heard of the
opportunity. So, it seems, had the land commissioner
at Prineville and William Holder, publisher of the Re
view at Prineville. So had L. N. Kelsay, who had just
purchased the Shaniko Leader. : ."
Tlje rivals, it. appears, "reachcd-.Silver Lake about
the same time. Bailey and Black joined forces with
Kelsay to publish the Central Oregonian. Holder and
Bell delivered the first issue' of the Silver Lake Bulle
tin on the following day. The advantage of an early
start must have paid off. At any rate the Central Ore
gonian absorbed its weekly contemporory 38 issues
later. .

of the century. A, hand press, a few lonts of type, a

WASHINGTON (NEA) As this

President Richard M. Nixon this

the desired results.

campaign drive and appeals, it was

Bighorns are the only wild sheep indigenous to
JNorth America, and once thoy ranged from Mecixo to
Alaska, in mountainous districts. There is evidence that
in earlier years, shortly before the coming of whitomcn
to mo northwest, they ranged over eastern Oregon in
great numbers. In earlier years, weather beaten, twist

Hart Mountain was apparently li part of the range
of the so-called California species of the bighorns, and

Not so many years; ago. an attempt was made to
introduce a southwest species in the Hart Mountain re

bers of the Order of Antelope, group which annually
meets on Hart Mountain, urged that a new attempt be
made to introduce the mountain sheep into the region
that was the range of their ancestors.

success. Not only do the bighorns moved here from

The 20 bighorns, including one mature male, 12

WASHINGTON (UP) A bone-
shaking Republican battle in the
House of Representatives' over the
minority leadership in tha 84th
Congress was touted today on the
basis of reports that speaker Jos
eph W. Martin, Jr., does not want
the job.
Some of Martin's friends were
organizing a campaign to Keep
Martin as party leader and to pre
vent that responsibility from going
to-Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind)
who they fear and suspect might
be President Eisenhower s choice.
They were confident Martin would
continue, even if reluctantly.
Martin's, retirement from' the
leadership, to become a less har
ried elder statesman in the House,
could not fail to boost Halleck to
ward the 84th Congress minotiry
leadership. Halleck is majority
leader under Martin s speakership
in the expiring 83rd Congress.
Halleck succeeded Martin as
floor leader when Republians con
trolled the 80th Congress In which
Martin served as speaker. When
the Democrats took over in the 81st
Congress, Martin reverted to the
leadership, displacing Halleck.'
Opposition To Halleck
One of the organizers of the Mar-tin-for-leader
movement told the
United Press today that substan
tial opposition to Halleck has been
developing.
"If Joe steps down now and
Charley reaches for it, there will
be a hell of a fight," a Congress
man told theOUnited Press. ."A
group of old timers in the House
will insist that Joe take on the
leadership in the next Congress.
And when the chips are down, the
81th Congress leader will be Joe
Martin. '
Martin told this correspondent
and others long before' this month's
congressional election that he was
of a mind to shuck the Republican
leadership of the next House if his
party failed to obtain a majority.
He would have been pleased to
continue as speaker. Martin was
70 years old Nov. 3. He isn't talk
ing much, if any, for publication
now.
His associates were confident to
day, however, that Martin would
accept another two-year hitch as
minority leader rather, as one of
them said, than run out on his
friends.
, Ike Might Intervene
There was some House anxiety
that Mr. Eisenhower might inter
vene in the dispute through some
of his white House aides. Wash
ington remarked during the 4irst
two years of the Eisenhower ad
ministration .that Halleck appeared
to be considerably deeper within
White House counsels than Martin.
The President never disguised his
admiration tor ana commence
Halleck.
White House intervention in the
leadership matter would blow up
as fine a row as this town has
seen since 1337 when FDR beat
Mississippi's conservative Pat Har
rison for the Senate Democratic
leadership with a timely letter ad

W liat goon on In n manhole? Let's
take the one above, for instance. Here you
see telephone men at work splicing some
of the underground cables that help speed
your calls across town. These are the ar
teries of your telephone system. For your
calls together with those from hundreds
of other telephones are carried by these
cables to your telephone office. Your voice
is then sent to its destination. One of tne
reasons we put "arterial" cables under
ground is that they're better protected
thero from storms, fires, and other haz
ards. And manholes give us quick access
to them. So next time you see telephone
men down in a manhole! putting in new
cables or checking older ones you'll know
they're working to guard your service and
bring telephones to more and more people
in your community.
