Bulletin Stiff Wrlttr . When Jim Hill pushed his Ore gon Trunk rails into Bond 50 years ago this (all he provided the key with which to unlock Lire area's vast timber resources. Within three months on Jan uary 3, 1(112, to he exact the first east-bound carload of lumber rumbled northward out of Bend. It had been cut at the Bend Com pany mill, located on the vest side of the Deschutes just scudi of the present Tumalo Avenue bridge. ' There were already a number of pioneer lumbermen on the scene when Hill, the "Empire Builder," drove his golden spike in October. 1911. Among tlierrj was the late Clyde SI. McKay, whose colorful career in Bend would span more than 40 years and cover an amaz ing variety of business and com munity activities. McKay had first visited the Bend area about the turn of the century to survey the tim ber prospects lor the Mueller in terests of Iowa. Early in 1312 he was bark in Bend to take a major role in or ganization of the Bend Company. Along with much of the original Drake townsite, the company had acquired a struggling little saw mill. In April, McKay and the Bend Company, with an eye on Hill's progress up the valley of the Deschutes, proceeded to enlarge the mill's facilities and began operations with a daily cut of sume 30.000 board foot Late in June the company had a new logging camp in operation two and a half miles upriver from Bend and by lire time Hill arriv ed the mill was humming brisk ly. - That first load of lumber which rolled from Bend in January was destined for Hastings, Neb., where it w as to be made into sashes and doors as a test of the possibilities of the yellow pine of Central Ore gon. The test was successful. The die was cast. Bend was des tined to become a mill town. In a few years .disaster struck the Bend Company. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1915. How ever, by then plans were well un derway for two giants, Brooks Scanlon and Shevlin - Hixon, to build plants at Bend. The old Bend Company mill passed into history. Small by com parison with its successors, the mill had nlaved its role In the de velopment of the area's chief in dustry. The Bulletin provided a fitting epitaph when it wrote that the mill had "served to establish a market for Deschutes pine." (Ntxt in series: "Tha Great Train Robbery.")

NURSES PAID 'MISERABLY' WASHINGTON tUPI) - The average nurso or librarian work ing for state or local government receives "miserable wages," ac cording to Arnold S.

Herman V o g . 1, former ski champion and instructor of ski troops during World War II, said that the new ski pants art "cut for comfort and decent good looks." "Oh, they're still streamlined for minimum resistance to the wind." lie said, "but last year, the girls wore trousers so tight it led to a great Informal game among the men at the resorts. We scored the girls from one to 10. . .The girl who scored 10 rated the absolute tops in fit. We fig ured anything higher meant the seams would give way." The Swiss-born Vogel runs a multi-million dollar business in various facets of the ski world, including clothing shops. "The trend is to quiot color in stead of noisy color on the slopes," said Vogel. "By that 1 mean there are mora solid shades of parkas and trousers, fewer of Ihe loud prints and em blematic designs in the parkas. You'll see a lot of gold and yel low; green in all shades from pale olive to deep forest; plum tones carrying over from last sea son, and black and navy contin uing hi popularity. Craiy Accessories "But accessories got crazier ev ery year fur gloves reacliing to the ellxivvs, outlandish caps." Last year's favorite topping for ski pants, which almost always are made of stretch fabrics, was the waist-lenglh parka. Eisenhow er jacket style. The newer par kas are hip length, said Vogel, a length first introduced by Italian sportswear designers. After ski clothes show the same elongated look, with almost tunic - length overblouses topping fireside trou sers. Vogel, 39, married and a father of two, was born in Zurich, and has been skiing since childhood. "In Switzerland, children get for mal instruction in skiing, in school," he said. "We grow up on tho slopes." Ho held several in- 5v'i tn lerculleginte chrtirspicn .nips in Europe, but has nut skied com petiliwly in ihe I'niicd States. His family migrated to Ihe I'nit-i-il Slates ill Will. Vogel in 1940 (minded Ihe Ski Mird Tours, re cessed the buii:es when World W;ir II ..Uirted. joined the Army ski troops, and relumed to Eu roe fir cunilut duty. When i o war ended, he re sumed ttie business winch now has 18 offices in the United States, Canada and Europe Tho firm maintains ski resorts, ski clothing and equipment outlets, runs ski schools and specializes In combination skiing and sight seeing tours in the United States, Canada, Europe and Jap:in. "Ski fever is spreading like crazy," said Vogel in an inter view. "Even to Texas. Those Tex ans go all over tho world." He said various industry sources estimate the number of active skiers at three to five mil lion persons. "I predict that by March 12, the total will have climbed closer to 10 million," he suid. Vogel said he thought the dan gers of skiing had been exag gerated, that most of the acci dents came from skiing while overly tired, from carelessness or not following the advice of the in structor.
