Elkhorn Road
Work to Start
County Commissioner
Rice reported Wednesday
August 24 has been officially set
as a date for two bulldozers, a
grader, trucks and a road crew
to start work on improving of
the roadway over the bill from
Gates to the Elkhorn road up the
little north fork. Earlier in the
year it was thought the road
could not be reached until Sep
tember but developments have
allowed the road crew to jump
the gun somewhat.
The necessity for such road
came into the limelight a few
years ago when the Lumker's
bridge went out under the weight
of a truck and several families
were marooned in the moun
tains. Some of the families ex
pected the arrival of the stork
which made the wrecking of the
bridge a matter of national no
tice receiving big plays in news
papers from coast to coast-
However, a Marion county
bridge crew beat out the stork
by running a temporary bridge
over the river and building
permanent bridge around it.
Had the road which is now to
be improved been in condition to
handle traffic it was stated the
marooned families could have
access to medical attention
well as general supplies for their
families.
County Judge Grant Murphy
stated that as soon as the crew
finishes its job on the road over
the hill to Gates it will be trans
ferred to the Zimmerman road
which runs up the hill from Me
hama. Improvement of this road
was sought in a letter from the
school district clerk who said its
present condition is inimical to
the school bus as well as to gen
eral traffic.

Stage Hearing Set Hearing
on the petition of the Oregon
Motor Stages to abandon a part
of their operating rights between
Albany and Corvallis on U. S
highway 20 will be held by the
public utilities commission in
Albany Friday. The company
now operates one scheduled run
a day between the two cities.
The petition does not set forth
any specific reason for the pro
posed abandonment.
At 460 feet he said: "There
are a lot of lantern fish passing
by now. They're big fellows and
they're jumping all over. Now
the fireworks are really start
ing . . . there's a creature that
looks like a long pipe with
row of lights along it. I don't
know what it is.
(Lantern fish are large-
mouthed, large-eyed small fish
with numerous luminous spots
or glands on their surface. They
are deep sea inhabitants.)
The tentacles of an octopus
just dragged by the window,
showering sparks. I can't see
him but he must have been a big
fellow ... I just saw an animal
with a long tail. I don't know
what it is."
Only 17 minutes after he start
ed down, Barton said: "There
was flashing light going by." At
2500 feet: "I see a barrage of lu
minescent, spiraling s h r i mp
beating against the window.
They seem to splash when they
hit ... A long, thin brilliantly
lighted fish went by. It looks
like an eel."
Dizzy With Sights
At 4000 feet he said, "there
are so many things going by
that it Kind of makes me dizzy.
At 4100 feet the lights illuminat
ing the area outside his window
went out, but Barton dropped on
down to 4500 feet.
Then he telephoned, "There
goes a big white jellyfish. I ne
ver saw anything like that be
fore. There s a little spot of
light with a circle around it . . .
I am amazed to see so many lu
minous things at this depth."
Barton returned to the sur
face without incident, and an
nounced he would not attempt
any further deep dives for some
time. Originally he had planned
to descend to 6000 feet.
Looks Like Satan
He made the 4500 foot drop
in 55 minutes and hung there
seven minutes. He said he could
see no sense in going deeper be
cause the failure of the lights
would prevent his taking pictures.
The ocean bottom was still
2000 feet beneath him.
After climbing out of the
five-foot, hollow steel ball, Bar
ton said: "There's a peculiarly
lighted fish that looks like Sa
tan. And there's an amazing dis
play of magic lanterns."
The dive was made off the isl
and of Santa Cruz, about 35
miles south of Santa Barbara,
Calif.
North Santiam Highway
Foreman Retires at 77
E. J. "Ned" Richards of Gales who is retiring September 1 as
road foreman for the North Santiam highway section between
Mill City and Detroit as well as for the Little North Fork road
into the Elkhorn country, will hold a unique place in Marion
county road history.
He is the only road foreman
the county has ever had for the
North Santiam highway and, as
far as that is concerned, the
only road foreman it ever will
have as virtually coincident with
his retirement maintenance work
for the old highway ceases and.
that for the new highway taken
over by the state.
The county completed its first
North Santiam highway to De
troit in 1925 when Richards
took over its maintenance and
has continued on with it ever
since. He is being succeeded by
Shirley K. Eley, Stayton, who
will take over mainlence work
in the Stayton-Mehama area.
Only Tuesday afternoon the
county court, on advices from
the state, ordered its equipment
off the old roadway between the
Detroit damsite and Detroit, this
old section of road being now
taken over by the army en
gineers and complete control of
it as to maintenance and all
other problems has been turned
over to them. Incidentally Com
missioner Roy Rice reported that
he had made arrangements with
Claude Lewis of Stayton for
rental of his garage building
there at $25 a month for use for
storing the county equipment
that will be used in the district.
Richards, the retiring fore
man, is 77 years old, to be 78
in December, and in point of
years oldest man on the county
payroll. Actually he is just now
retiring from public work, be
ing given a two weeks vacation
to round out his stint of about a
quarter of a century handling
the most dificult maintenance
job on all of the well over 2000
miles of Marion county roads.
He said after the department
had taken all of the steps it
could against the company it had
recommended "criminal prose
cution" against the firm.
Laie in 1946, he said, he
found a note on his desk that
Vaughan had telephoned and
wished him to return the call.
He said he did. Hathorn related
the conversation to the commit
tee this way:
Vaughan said he had been
referred to Hathorn by the sec-
icioij a uuivc auu lie uiiucl-
stood that Hathorn had control
of the molasses order.
Finding this to be so, Vaugh-1
an asked Hathorn if he was fa-.
miliar with Allied's "difficult
ties." Vaughan added that ha
had discussed the matter witli
the secretary (then Clinton P,
Anderson, now U.S. senatol
from N.M.) and "I would like
to have, you do something to
remedy the situation."
Hathorn replied that he would
not want to intercede under the
circumstances and at this point1
Vaughan said: "Well I tell you,
we democrats have to stick together."
Hathorn said Vaughan closed
their conversation with the
statement that "he was very
close to the president and a man
