Mt. Washington: A Profile
' Names of Cascade peaks were poorly chosen, with
,' a few exceptions, believes Bob Frazier of the Eugene Reg-
. ister-Guard.
Some names, of course, are descriptive, and these
Bob editorially defends. Three Fingered Jack, Cowhorn
and Broken Top are excellent names unlikely to be dup
licated too often in other parts of the country.
The Sisters, Bachelor, Husband, Wife, Little Brother
bear well chosen names for they are members of Oregon's
'family of mountains", Bob points out.
Bui consider some of the other names, invites the
Eugene editor. Shouldn't Diamond and Thielscn be turn
ed around? Named for an early-day Coburg resident,
Diamond peak does not overlook Diamond lake. Thielsen,
named for another pioneer, is mirrored in that lake.
And, asked Bob, wouldn't it have been better if Hood
were called Multnomah, and Adams or St. Helens were
called McLoughlin? Leave Jefferson as it is, suggested Bob.
The name of Washington for that volcanic, glaciated
spire south of the Santiam pass also rankles Bob. Nation
ally, he notes, that name sticks to New Hampshire's wind
swept peak.
Here The Bulletin disagrees with Bob, as we have oc
casionally in the past.
Mt. Washington of the Oregon Cascades, was named
after the president because of the profile it presents. as
viewed from the sunrise side of the Cascades.
Of course, Mt. Washington was known by another
name in early days, especially by stockmen of the interior
country. That was a name that eventually disappeared
among people who speak politely about their Cascade
peaks, just as tourists refer to the Rocky mountain pin
nacles above Lake Moran as the Tetons.
In early days some persons, possibly a Deschutes
range rider, noticed that the jagged volcanic Cascade
mount politely known as "Squaw PeakV presented a strik
ing profile of George' Washington.
True, the profile was a sort of alpine caricature of
Washington. But there was his sharp nose, at times part
ly hidden by wisps of clouds. And there was the Washing
ton forehead, sloping too much, possibly, but conforming
with the topography.
And, fitting into the picture, was the Washington chin,
recessive but recognizable.
The result: A skyline profile of America's first prcs.
,' iffent i ,
For this reason, Washington is the most- character
. istic of all names applied to the old volcanoes of the Oregon
' skyline. .
"How Do You Plead- - -'Guilty or Guilty'?"
If you want something to cele
brate today, you can give three
cheers for Cyrus W. Field. His
first successful Atlantic cable was
laid just ninety years ago, on July
27, 1866.
Cyrus Field was a mighty clever
fellow, and I. think he made a lot
of money. Good for him.
Top Theie, Hosmer
: Paul Hosmer, the man The Oregonian calls the "Sage
of the-High Country", is noted for a series of short ob
servations which run at the end of the "Pine Echoes"
magazine he turns out each month.
Hosmer gets a'lot of publicity around the country bo-
cause of these observations, which have come to be known
as "Hosmerisms" in some quarters.
This publicity has disturbed our old, friend Ackroyd
Shinbunny, the High Desert resident who drops into the
office once a month to steal our copy of "Pine Echoes."
- Shinbunny feels he's just as clever as Hosmer. He thinks
..he s at a disadvantage in competing with the Bend man,
because he doesn't work for a company which publishes
a magazine. Matter of fact, Shinbunny doesn't work at
all. He's reduced to an exact science the best way of living
without working.
Shinbunny scrawled out a few Shinbunnyisms the other
day on a few old lunchbags he got from crossing a high
way used by litterbugging tourists. Ho dropped them on
the desk with an open challenge to Hosmer to top them.
Here they are:
Tact is the ability to give a person a shot in
the arm without letting him feel the needle.
Mistakes, after all, do serve a purpose. . . .our
friends find such pleasure in pointing them out to
us.
A borrower is a man who tries to live within
your means.
When it comes to stopping a man's circulation
the best tourniquet of all is a wedding ring.
About the. only time overweight will make a
man feel better is when he sees it on a girl he
nearly married.
Visitors always make us happy; some when
they come and some when they go.
You never know how absurd your own opinion
is until you hear somebody else quoting it.
The trouble with being bald is not so much in
combing your hair as in knowing where to draw
the line when you wash your face.
How much better a woman feels after a good
cry depends on what she got out of it.
An optimist is a man who idles the motor
in front of his house while he waits for his wife.
A good speaker is one who rises to the occasion
and promptly sits down.
Nothing can stop a woman in the middle of a
sentence like the arrival of another woman with
two men.
Nothing improves a person's driving like a
police tar right in back of liim.
News from England, by Atlantic
cable or otherwise, indicates that
Marilyn Monroe is creating quite
stir over there. I'm not Bur-
prised. The gal who really stirred
up a hornet's nest is the English
dress designer who came right out
and said that Marilyn is a dowdy
dresser, and untidy. She said that
Marilyn got off the plane in a
dress that looked slcpt-in, and her.
hair was an absolute mess. Not
only that, she has n spare tire,
right around the middle. Said the
dress designer. (Even in this
weather, I wouldn't let a remark
out without a quote.)
I certainly wouldn't want to take
sides in a light like this. No wom
an would want to be dowdy and
sloppy and fat like Marilyn
Monroe. No, sir Not much.

Last week Sonny presented
wiUi four kittens. We changed his
name to Sunny. In a few more
weeks, I'll need four more red rib

If you want to feel young, avoid

Freeway Named
For Baldock
SALEM (UP) The new Port-land-Salem
freeway was named
the R. 11. Baldock freeway at a
meeting of the state highway com
mission here yesterday.
Just prior to the announcement,
the commission appointed W. C.
(Dutch) -Williams to succeed Bal
dock, who recently resigned as
state highway engineer after 24
years in that position.
Baldock's resignation was ac
cepted with reluctance by the com
mission which named the new
highway in his honor. Baldock's
resignation will become effective
Aug. 16. He lias accepted an offer
to head an American highway mis
sion to Iraq.
Baldock plans to leave with his
wife for his ne,w post before the
end of August.
Rescue Director
Says 'Miracle'
So Many Saved
NEW YORK UP) The man
who directed rescue operations at
the Andrea Dona for almost six
hours said today it was a mir
acle" so many were saved.
Capt. John S. Shea, commander
of the USNS Pvt. William H
Thomas, said that in his 30 years
at sea he had never seen a res
cue operation proceed so smooth
ly. "It is certainly unusual to get
so many survivors off a sinking
ship safely,' he said. "If this hap
pened four months from now it
would be a different story. In
cold weather there would be lives
lost. You could bet on it."
' Shea said visibility was dead
zero when his ship received an
SOS. message from the Doria.
By the time we got to the ship
(at 1:23 a.m. EDT) the visibility
had cleared to three miles.
"A thing like that would hap
pen once in a lifetime," he said.
"If the fog hadn't lifted when it
did it would have been bad...very
bad."
The rescue ship Thomas sent
two motor faunch lifeboats to the
Doria twice each and took off 138
survivors. Some they fished out of
the water. Many they took from
the stern of the sinking ship, the
last part of Uie stricken vessel to
go down.
Shea said it wasn t necessary to
direct the lifeboats of the other
rescue ships. He said they all
displayed perfect seamanship.
The captain s report ol tne log
lifting at the exact critical time
was borne out by the survivors
on his ship.
"The fog was so thick you
couldn't see the people on the
deck," one survivor said. "After
the crash we all began to pray.
We prayed so hard. And- then, as
if in answer to our prayers, the
fog lifted. The moon came out,
the water was calm, and we felt
hope again."

Wooden homes in the xirt's low
