The Keep Oregon Green Association, Inc., is the spon sor of "Smokey Bear" in Oregon. This season, KOG is dis tributing place mats tearing a map of Oregon, as a part of its fire prevention program. The place mats are in pictograph form and were pre pared by a Portland firm that specializes in such work. There is some indication of carelessness in the prepa ration. . Highlands of southeastern Oregon are listed as "Steen Mountains." Officially they are a single landmass known as Steen's Mountain. The caldcra that cradles East and Paulina lakes ap pears on the KOG map as "Newbry Crater." It is New berry Crater, of course, named after Dr. John Newberry, early-day botanist who accompanied the Williamson sur vey party through this region in 1855. . ; Near Burns appears "Malhuer Lake." It is Malheur Lake. - The town of Fossil appears on the map between a bracket of saurians, one of them giant Tyrannosaurus. Dinosaur remains have never been found in Oregon.

Torrential bursts of rain such as flooded Bridge creek recently arrd washed away part of Mitchell are known by various names. ' ' Infrequently and incorrectly they are called "water spouts." This is generally reserved for "funnel storms" over oceans or lakes. In the western range country, the sudden and spectac ular downpours are called cloudbursts, "sudden, copious rainfall, as if the 'whole cloud had been precipitated at once." Most residents of Mitchell will concede, that this is the kind of rairi.that fell on their town on Friday, July 13, 1956. But to meteorologists, who refuse trf admit that such rains come through a "spout" or that an entire cloud pre cipitates its moisture in a few minutes, the term favored is flash flood. .These floods are generally characterized by frontal walls of water. Such a wall did not swejep through Mitchell Friday, but old timers say the terrible storm of July II, 1904, did send a high wall of debris-laden water1 down Bridge creek. . v ' ' ' Walls of water are common in hilly, rocky regions where deep valleys are fed by gullies following flash floods.. ...... 1 ' But why should this runoff mass into a frontal wall?, ! -The" explanation apparently is the "drag" encountered by the water as it rushes through canyon gorges. Like waves sweeping into a beach, the lower layer of water en counters a resistance on rocks, sand and debris. The top water, impeded only by drifting debris, rushes ahead. Z There are no waves in flash flood torrents, but the top water catches up with and overruns the slower moving bottom and virtually piles into an imposing wall. The flash flood that tore through Mitchell Friday traveled no great distance. The result was it did not have lime to build up its frontal wall. - But by the time the flood reached four miles down stream it was an imposing wall one that would have taken a heavy toll of life had it formed before it hit Mitchell. 'Human' Harriman Exhibited Words Not Enough : We were not in our usual rush Sunday eveninir. com lug home from a fishing jaunt east of the Cascades, so we took a run to the top of Lava Butte, south of Bend, for the view. - . Lava Butte, the big lava cone that rises into the hen vens only a few minutes off Highway 97, is one of our favorite viewing spots in all of Oregon. I There, stretched out as far as the eyes could see, were the mountains which have made Oregon scenery famous Thielsen, the Three Sisters, Jefferson, Washington, Hood and yes, Three-Fingered Jack, the "fairy castle" of oui childhood imagination. Beyond these great peaks, the sun was setting and the Cascade skyline was tinged in a pink no artist can du plicate. And at the base, into the valley between us mid the mountains, were those glorious soft shadows. Shadows in the mountains seem to go from light to deep purple and from gray to black, each color warm and comforting. Silently we watched the sun go farther away and the mountains fade. Nothing was to be said. Man's vocabulary with such expressions as "beautiful, pretty, gorgeous," is lacking at such times. We left the top of the butte and in minutes were back in the world of rushing autos and neon lights. But we'll go back another day. From such views comes peace of mind. (Eugene Kogistcr-Guard) By PETKIt KDSON WASHINGTON (NEA) Gov. Averell Harriman of New York got a good-natured but rough ride when he appeared before the Washington National Press Club in furtherance of his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomi nation. This appearance was to present The New Harriman to Washington. He s supposed to have changed a lot since be left the capital nearly lour years ago. He was just an ad viser to Presidents then. Now he wants to be President himself. He had changed, loo. He took his ribbing like a man. He let on as if he were having fun, and he said he was, which he had never been able to do easily, before. He was always so serious. He still Is, but he s developing a lighter side. "When he left us," said Press Club President Frank Holeman, "there was room for improvement. He seemed to be absent-minded when he was around here before. But now we know what he had on his mind." The Governor acknowledged all (bis with a big grin. A standing-room-only, capacity crowd turned out. They came for wo reasons, said Holeman. One wrs that Harriman might be Prcsi dent some day. The other was that they wanted to see 50 million dol lars on the hoof. This was tickling the governor on one of his most sensitive ribs, which is .that though he's a rich man, no is a Democrat who is against big business monopolies New and a Fair Dealer. lie was described as "a self- made man who merely started at different Place. He never sold papers or shincd shoes. He was elected a director of Union Pacific when he graduated from Yale. Ho went to work as a yard hand and two years later he was a vice- president. "Few men who started where he did ever got to his place, in life," observed Holeman. "It was a downhill slruggle all (he way." Harriman's polo playing an other plutocratic practice out of his past was also given the treatment. He was told (hat he played polo till he became allergic to horses and that explained why he went into politics. When the governor was asked later whether he would gra2e his polo ponies on the White House putting greens in case he was elected President Harriman re plied, "I ain't got none." Tnis was the first time on rec ord that Gov. Harriman had ever been known to murder the king's English or resort to a colloquial ism.. It. just showed how he has been humanized. The governor went on to explain that he did have some grandchil- aren ana mat they had some ponies which could be brought to Washington. He said the White House is there for the President to use in any way ho thinks with in the dignity and propriety of the oil ice. Harrimnn's only sport today was aid to be croquet. So wickets and stakes might be put up on the Ei senhowcr greens for White House squirrels Jo play tag around, if there should be a change next January. Harriman's croquet game was described by one of his playmates, with only slight exaggeration: "He will study his shots for 20 minute then do just what anyone else would do." His health was said to be good now because he had had recent operation. He is 65 only 13 months younger lhan President Eisenhower. When Harriman was asked about his health later he Special to The Bidlt-tin MADRAS Energizing of the transmission line wmcn travels from Round Butte to the Pelton dam site was reported Thursday by Larry Kelsh.

(UP) -Attorney Murray M. Chotiner, who once was campaign manager for Vice President Richard Nixon, today welcomed a Senate investi gation into his law practice. Chotiner said he was glad the Senate Investigations subcommit tee had ordered public hearings on his law practice as related to government business. lie said that through such a probe "all the facts may be known instead of portions being taken out of context and" leaked to a few favored columnists.1' "It is apparent that the Demo crats are so devoid of a campaign issue that they will stop at nothing in an attempt to mislead and con fuse," Chotiner said. Chotiner was Nixon's 1952 elec tion campaign manager and has been a top figure in the campaigns of other California Republicans. The subcommittee learned that Chotiner had represented a num ber of clothing manufacturers who were involved in controversial government contracts oyer mill tary uniform contracts.
