Rainbow trout eggs brought
At the request of the Bend
Rod and Gun Club, State Game
Warden A. E. Burghduff last
week brought from Klamath
Falls to the Tumalo fish hatchery
a quarter million rainbow trout
eggs, to be hatched for planting
in Central Oregon waters.
Eastern brook trout at present
predominate in the lakes of this
section and it was the object of
the Rod and Gun Club to have
more gamy fish here. The rain-
bow will furnish all the excite-
ment any angler could desire.
Overturf in fast trip to Redmond
A record run of 30 minutes
from Bend to Redmond was
made Saturday by H.J. Over-
turf, he reported on returning
to Bend, in testimony of the fact
that The Dalles-California high-
way between the two cities is in
excellent condition.
During the trip down Over-
turf passed 10 cars and three
trucks and overtook and passed
one truck loaded with brick.
Cap and gown first worn Sunday
A large attendance featured
the baccalaureate exercises of
the high school senior class, held
Sunday night in the gymna-
sium, Rev. J. Edgar Purdy deliv-
ering the sermon. His topic was
illustrated by a number of exam-
ples from the newer chemical
discoveries, showing what won-
ders have been accomplished in
the world during recent years,
and what is yet to be done. The
seniors appeared for the first
time in cap and gown.
Third Street now ready
Grading of Third Street from
Scott to Franklin has been
completed, making possible
the presentation of 1700 feet of
new thoroughfare to the City
of Bend by the Central Oregon
Associates reports E. L. Vinal,
manager. The street is now
ready for use, except for the fact
that the railroad crossing has
not yet been repaired.

mond, the Shevlin-Hixon base-
ball team was victorious over

Razing of weather-scarred
residence revives memories
One of Bend’s oldest land-
marks, a weather-scarred house
at 1193 Wall street, just North
of the Smith Electric shop, is
being torn down this week, and
its passing awakens for old tim-
ers memories of more than 40
years ago when this city was a
frontier village far from the end
of the rails.
Recently purchased by T. D.
Sexton from Mr. and Mrs. E.
A. Smith, the old frame resi-
dence, with an ornate front that
was dusted by passing freight
wagons even before Bend was
incorporated, is being razed to
make way for a modern apart-
ment. This apartment will face
the Deschutes river and the
Cascades. Occupying the front
part of the structure and facing
Wall street will be a saw service
and woodworkers’ supply shop.
Construction of the new build-
ing will be started just as soon
as lumber is available.
It was in the spring of 1904
that Millard T. Triplett, member
of one of Bend’s earliest fam-
ilies and still a resident of this
city, started construction of the
residence, facing a then dusty
“street” over which moved
freight strings from Shan-
iko, via Prineville. Earlier, in
1903, Triplett came here from
Prineville to open a wagon and
blacksmith shop on the lot.
When Sexton started the
work of tearing down the old
landmark on Monday of this
week, he was amazed to find
the pine rafters and studding in
nearly perfect shape. In fact, this
timber is in such good condi-
tion that it will probably find a
place in the new building.
When construction of the
pioneer Triplett residence was
started, Bend’s population, by
actual count, was 250. Bend’s
population is now estimated to
be well over 12,000.
Moore talks up attorney duties
A.J. Moore, who was recently
appointed Deschutes county
district attorney, today was oc-
cupying the office in the court-
house which has just been va-
cated by Robert H. Foley, who
resigned to enter private prac-
tice.
Foley is now associated in
the practice of law with H. H.
DeArmond and Alva C. Go-
odrich.
rels will be placed at three Shell
stations in Bend. The barrels,
for glass bottles and jars, will be
painted green, white and amber
— for green, clear and amber
glass. Genna and others behind
the project, including Bill Ellis,
president of PURE, and Loren
Irving of the Jaycees, hope ben-
efits from the project will be
two-fold.
They are eager to recycle
glass and, in doing so, put Bend
youth to work. Crushed glass
can be sold in Portland at $20
a ton.
The glass will be hauled free
to Portland by Kremers Dis-
tributing Co. of Bend. Money
will be used to pay the youth.
Genna has lined up four young
men who have agreed to work
the first two or three weeks for
nothing, taking the chance that
the program will be profitable.
They will pick up the glass
periodically and crush it.
Housewives must rinse out the
containers to be recycled and
take off the tops, but not the la-
bels. The glass must also be sep-
arated by color.
The project originated after
Genna went to service clubs
seeking jobs for youth and El-
lis suggested that they be put to
work on the recycling project.
Visitors’ center popular
attraction
A total of 2,340 persons, an
all time record, checked into the
visitors’ center atop Lava Butte
Sunday.
So heavy was the traffic, with
only limited parking space
available, foresters in charge
found it necessary to control the
movement of cars.
Working as a team, Doug
Deeks and Ray Hatton of the
forest service permitted motor-
ists to move up the old volcanic
cone only when parking space
was available on top. Tiring of
waiting in line, a considerable
number of visitors left the lim-
ited parking area at the bottom
of the cone.
The general storm on Mon-
day drastically cut visitations to
the butte top. In the late after-
noon, the road was closed when
snow fell.

Experimental glass recycle
project set
Bend area housewives will
determine the success or failure
of a glass recycling project that
begins Monday, according to
the men who are organizing the
program. “The only way this
thing can go is if housewives are
behind it,” says Vince Genna,

Blue skies smiling on
Festival of Color
Old hippies, new hippies,
button-down types and even a
silver-haired old guy bopped
blithely to African music Sat-
urday as Central Oregon’s best
weather blessed the Festival of
Color in downtown Bend.
Organizers estimated about
6,000 people turned out for
the gathering of music, ven-
dors, dancing and the gener-
ally earth-toned good times in
Drake Park and Rademacher
Plaza. That was “by far” the big-
gest turnout the seven-year-old
event has had, said festival di-
rector Hanneli Francis.
The all-day event was the
climax of a week of music and
cultural events designed to cel-
ebrate cultural and racial diver-
sity in the region. It started with
Celtic music and Eastern Euro-
pean dance and ran the gamut
of African, Latin, Mediterra-
nean, Native American music
and dance during the week.
Finding cultural diversity
might be a stretch in a town
where diversity means country
or adult contemporary on the
radio and brown skin means
you’ve got a monthly pass at the
local tanning parlor. The point
wasn’t lost on a group of young
Hispanics.
“It looks like we’re the only
people of color at the Festival of
Color,” one man said. Not en-
tirely true, but the point is near
the mark. That is one of the rea-
sons organizers used the theme
“Looking Beyond Face Value.”
“It means looking at diversity
not just as skin color, but the
diversity that is here in Central
Oregon,” Francis said.
Overpass framework collapses
A gust of wind started a chain
reaction that toppled a steel
framework over Third Street on
Tuesday afternoon, closing one
lane of traffic for about three
hours near the north Division
Street intersection in Bend.
The 35-foot-tall structure is
the “rebar” frame that will re-
inforce a concrete pillar for a
Bend Parkway overpass. It was
under construction when it
tipped. Part of the frame hit the
road, but neither workers nor
motorists were hurt and little
damage was done.
“As long as nobody got hurt it
wasn’t a major deal,” said Doug-
las Coats of Co-Bridge, which is
building the overpass.
