Keep Oregon Straight
Old "Smokey Bear," who is primarily concerned with
fire prevention, apparently has a bit of map revision work
facing him.
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. Fos
sil was named because of the abundance of mammal and
plant remains found in the area.
; But pals pf "Smokey" in preparing the map did better
than many professional map makers. Lake Abort is cor
rcctly named. Frequently that feature shows up as "Lake
Albert."

'---. -
... 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

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

Chotiner Says
He Welcomes
Probe by Senate;
BEVERALY HILLS, Calif. (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.
The . subcommittee never has
made any specific accusations
Chotiner.
The veteran Republican cam
paigner attributed the attempts to
smear him to Chairman Paul
Butler of the Democratic National
Committee, who, he said, was

counsel for the Senate committee.
In the background, he said, Sen.
