An Independent Newspaper Juist Say the Word" 4 The Bend Bulletin, Friday, October 21, 1955 The North Sister's Story Looming over the Cascade lava fields, as viewed through the haze of autumn from the Dee Wright mem orial on the McKenzie pass, is an old mountain with an unusual Btory. It is the North Sister, a peak that survived the ri gors of the world age of ice because it was reinforced by lava sills and dikes. Giant glaciers, rock shod and moving down steep slopes, cut deeply into the mountain, oldest peak of the Three Sisters group, but the intertwining ribs of lava in the cone section served as buffers against the grind ing, cutting ice. As fl result, the North Sister remains as the highest of the trio of peaks known to pioneers as Faith, Hope iand Charity. ', - The North Sister was a high mountain on the divide !of the volcanic Cascades when the chill of the last ice age isettlcd over the northwest. Built up through flaming vol ;cnnism that possibly lasted for a thousand years, the North Sister is believed to have reached a height of ar ound 11,000 feet before the cutting action of the mas sive glaciers started. , In the epoch of ice, the North Sister's neighbors, Broken Top, Alt. Washington and Three Fingered Jack, '. possibly all a bit older, suffered heavily from glacial erosion. Broken Top now remains on the Cascade skyline as ;a mere remnant of a once big shield volcano. Washington ' and Jack are now little more than rocky fingers thrust ; Into the Central Oregon sky. But the North Sister still remains tall on the skyline. It was late in the life of the North Sister that earth '. shaking explosions shattered the cone section. The summit ; section was crisscrossed by cracks, ranging from a few Inches to a few feet in width. ; Into these cracks was forced molten lava, under great " t.- a. ...ii.. 4.K.. ,.1.1 ,,.: 1 i r: Jjrtvmure. r.vuiiLuuuy tim uiu uiuuiiuuii cuuiuu, us niua feeding liquid rock into its conduits went out. Then came the ice age, that period of time geolo gists call the Pleistocene. Giant glaciers slipped down the North Sisters steep slopes and spread out over the ancient McKenzie pass. Lobes of ice moved down the east slope of the Cascades to the 4,000 foot level. West of the mountains, the ice fields, choking the ancient McKenzie canyon, reached the 1 nnA Grinding, cutting, chewing into the mountain, the glaciers would have eventually eaten away the North Sister, had it been a mere cinder heap.

Any day now, the Chief will come home with a bigger grin than usual, a large supply of small talk and a willingness to put the knobs on my closet duors, fix the leak in the bathroom faucet, and wasli the outside of the picture windows bet a nickel he'll say some thing like this: "Don't cook a big dinner tonight, honey, Uet's go out and have hamburgers," Or maybe he'll feel real flush, and suggest Chinese food, with atmosphere Ife won't reveal any impatience, while he waits for me to gel ready. and on the way to town, in "my" car, he'll glance at the oil 'gauge and make a menial note. But he won't ask pointedly, "When did you have the oil changed?" He'll ignore my personal traffic warning, at the city limits, and will ask if I had an interesting day. 1 will say that I did, indeed and will ask in turn how things went in the woods, After a leisurely meat, we'll call on friends, perhaps, or go for n long ride. And at home, eventunllv, Ave'll relax in the living room, If Won't Be a Short Campaign (Kuffenc Hey utter-Guard) Koth political pnrticH have scheduled their national conventions for late next summer, attempting thus to ".shorten the campaigns." But out here in Oregon the campaigns will be long and bitter. In fact they have al ready started. When we say "campaign." we mean what the Republicans and Democrats mean. We mean the battle for Wayne Morse's seat in the Senate. In Oregon that will be the race that will relegate all others, even the presidential, to secondary spots on Page 1. Senator Morse is already campaigning, making speeches in great numbers and welding himself into a silent understanding. Finally tl solid position in the Democratic Party of Oregon. And the Republicans are getting an early start, too, organiz ing the voters, and examining minutely the "Morse re cord." They know it will be a hard fight. Even the most optimistic Republicans admit they have no better than a 50-50 chance of giving Eugene back its most famous citizen. As we look at the campaign, 13 months before the election, we see two things that could shift the odds to perhaps 75-25 in Morse's favor. Thing No, 1: The Republican campaign promises to be a negative "anti-Morse" campaign. That's bad. A "news letter" from Republican headquarters in Portland goes into the Morse boast that "I never miss a major roll call." Figures in the news letter show that in 19-16. 21 senators hadbetter records in this respect than Morse had. Last year, the letter said, 50 senators' records were better. Ifs a damning list oT figures. Put it will be a d ton-wilted Morse man who doesn't rise to point out that the senator was talking about "major" roll calls and the figures include roll calls of all kinds. Furthermore, even the dullest Morse supporter will point out that the .sena tor's worst year, as shown by the figures, was 1050, the year the Republicans were backing him. j It won't be enough in this campaign to demonstrate that Morse is not the greatest senator in the Senate. There are at least 05 who aren't "greatest." What will bo necessary is to show the voters that the Republican candidate, whoever he is, is better. So, let's get some candidates out. Jab the governor. Will he run or won't he? If he can't make up his mind, find somebody who can. Lamar Tooze says he's willing. And how about Dorothy McCullough T.ee, former mayor of Portland? And there's always State Sen. John C. V. Merrifield. Thing No. 2: When you get a good man, let him be himself. Assuming that he's a "liberal Republican," as he'd better be if he's going to beat Senator Morse, don't make him sound like a reactionary. We'll always believe that the "truth squad" of reactionary senators the na tional committee sent into Oregon at the last minute to "help" Guy Cordon did that senator more harm than good. And we're sure that Tom McOall.'the popular, able and liberal Republican candidate from Multnomah County lost the election because his "old guard" advisors were making him sound LTl Cenator Vli k.xu.

IUE negotiators have turned down, a company offer of a five- year agreement calling for a total Ii3', cent hourly wage increase. They have asked for a flat 15 cents for one year.

George told a news conference he thinks Stevenson could get the nomination, if he made a serious bid for it, at a convention held tomorrow.
