Far back in pioneer days, the bulky cameras of
Darius Kinsey made superb pictures of the timber epic
of the Pacific Northwest, exclusive of the pine Deit.
Some 200 of the Kinsey pictures appear in a vol
ume, "This Was Logging!" brought out this, fall by
'2 Superior Publishing Co., Seattle, Wash, with a running
commentary by Ralph W'. Andrews, Seattle writer.
The volume, with its refreshing pictorial journeys
back to the days of bull teams and big wheels in the
- Northwest woods, in a memorial to the late Dee Kin
sey. "In his field, Dee Kinsey was the equal of Mat
r' thew Brady in his, which was the Civil War and that
is good enough."
'';' This is the tribute paid Darius Kinsey by Stewart
Holbrook, nationally known writer.
And from another nationally known writer, James
"'" Stevens, who once worked in the Bend pine mills, comes
this tribute:
"Away back yonder, the Paul Bunyan camera of
' Darius Kinsey caught and kept the most pictorial views
" of the big timber epic in the Northwest. Ralph An
drews' collection of Kinsey's finest work forms a pow-
; erful picture book of yesterday's people and trees in the
region."
Residents of the pine areas may find some complaint
"r in the designation of this work as a story of Northwest
"r, logging. The pine country, so far as we can determine,
is by-passed without a picture. .
Bend does receive mention in a quarter of a page
chapter, "Early Oregon Logging", but it would have been
best if. that chapter had been omitted. . The date of the
, i coming of the two big Minnesota pine operations to Bend
. is wrong, and Sam Blakely and Jack Meister were log-
ling superintendents, not mill managers.
..? . And it was the Union Pacific and the Oregon Trunk
not the Great Northern, that battled for rights of way
in the Deschutes gorge in the race to reach Bend with
rails. Two tracks were constructed in the Deschutes
V gorge. It was at Metolius, on the plateau, that the rail
' magnates got together and, moved into' Bend on a singl
line.
But that chapter in "This Was Locirinir" is pxeppd.
ingly brief and certainly does not detract from the photo
v' graphic excellence of the volume.

Thirty-five years ago, the mountain route was criv-

,. in tustance over the north sector of the route has been
:. mailt;.
'1 ' The distance from the Bend citv rontor (n tho wit
- Lake lodge in earlier years was 36.0 miles. Over the now
; route, now graded the entire distance into Elk lake the
1 distance is 31.9 miles.
j ' : . One of the biggest cuts in distance through the new
construction was between Devils and Elk lakes. The new
grade is 1.2 miles shorter than the old rid that took
i shortcuts through dense groves of trees.

lake. Thirty years or more ago, the drive from Bend to
Elk lake took about half a day. Only recently a Bend

In logging (he new route recently, Mr. Symons not
ed that he took it easy, because the road was icy in spots.
He made the drive from the Pilot Butte Inn corner in
Bend to the Klk lake resort in one hour!
in Us day, the Century Drive won recognition in the
Northwest as ono of the region's most scenic routes.
The new route not only cuts distance and timei but en-
hances that scenery.
You may not be any happier
about it than I am, but this is the
first day of December, and that's
thut. At this time of year we wish
we had the money we spent' on
last summer's vacation. We real
ize thai it's almost as bad to spend
all you make as it is not to make
all you spend. December is the
month when the mailbox is full of
Christmas cards, soap coupons,
fuel bills and Income-tax forms.
It's just a Utile bit ironic thut
December's birthstoncs, the tur

Pope's Condition
Slightly Better
VATICAN CITY (UP) Vatican
sources reported a slight improve
ment today in the condition of
Pope Pius XII.
The ailing pontiff arose at 7:30
a.m. and heard a mass recited oy
German Jesuit Father Robert Lei-
ber in the private chapel adjoining
the papal apartment.
Then the Pope retired to his
study where, seated in a deep easy
chair given to him by Roman
Catholics in Buffalo, N. Y., he re
ceived an official of the Vatican
secretariat' of state for a regular
daily report on Vatican affairs.
An official announcement yester
day that the Pope will attend cere
monies closing the Marian Year
Dec. 8 was taken in Vatican circles
as an encouraging indication of his
improvement. .
