sources of the Columbia and Snake
river basins, including government
construction of Hells Canyon dam.
He promised the state a leader
ship "unafraid a leader with im
agination enough to propose, a
leader audacious enough to try; a
leader bold enough to take a
stand."
More liberal treatment of the
state's elderly citizens was advo
cated by Carson, who proposed a
sytem of public loans for estab
lishment of nursing and rest
homes where they can be cared
for in their own communities.
Carson says he proposes the state

and a half years after its foun
dation in Oregon.
Sister Theresa was employed
in various occupations during
her long years of service, among
which was a 35-year period of
type-setting at the Benedictine
Press. Taken from extracts of
notes and reminiscences, Sister
Mary Theresa told of her ar
rival in Portland, March 1886,
and soon after her arrival, she
tells of her first trip to Mt. An
gel, then known as Filmore, to
visit her brother Father William
Kramer at the Mt. Angel Abbey.
Her notes stale "what a
unique trip it turned out to he
is almost incomprehensible to
those who had never gone over
such pioneer roads: stumps, mud
hnlrs, silting in a wagnn, while
one wheel would be half-way in
the water and the other up,
nearly upsetting the wagon and
us with it; we surely held on to
the seat on top of the wagon
box , . ." "We did have a glimpse
through the trees of a frame
building; hut what a difference
from the monastic structures of
stone in Europe ...
"On this Mount wera seen
little mounds in which were
found skeletons of Indians long
buried there."
Sister Theresa's survivors in
clude a number of nieces and
nephews in Fricdrichshafen,
Germany, among whom art Sis
ter Mary Wilhclmina Kramer
and Sister M. Eugenia Kramer,
Sisters of Social Service in Ger

liam Kramer, OSB, preceded her
in death in 1929.

"Cheap power is the key to our
industrial development in Oregon,"
Carson said. "It is the foundation
of all modern industry. If we give
that key away or lose it, we shall
become economic prisoners of
those who nave it.
Public business, Carson said, will
be conducted in public if he is
elected governor. He cited the ac
tion of the state milk marketing
commission in attempting to raise
the price of milk without public
notice. He commended Governor
Paul L. Patterson for stopping that
practice.
"If 1 am governor," Carson
said, "all public business except
that involving security and the ex
ecution of criminal law will be
done openly. I would fire any
board, commission or individual
engaging in back room tactics."
He also promised that there will
be no name-calling in his cam
paign. ,
