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

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

Grinding, cutting, chewing into the mountain, the
glaciers would have eventually eaten away the North

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.

WASHINGTON (UP) Sen.,

President Eisenhower may des

potential presidential candidates if
he decides not to seek re-election

But he said he thinks Mr. Eisen

2. George told a news conference
he thinks Stevenson could get the
nomination, if he made a serious

tomorrow. But George endorsed no
