SPhM I ’ o iu s H i C IA T I ON OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER SDBSCRIITHON RATES Payable in Advance ONE Y EAR $L50 HIGHW AY 97 It seem s th a t if anything is go ing to be done to cause the govern m ents of Oregon, W ashington and the U nited S tates to give serious consideration to building the main m ilitary north-south highway through Sherm an county it m ust he s ta rte d im m ediately. Local civic- boosters a t The Dalles have sent R alph Moody to W ashington D. C. to work for a i i oge across the riv e r a t th a t j>eint. It is axiom atic th a t the main highw ay will m eet the river ai, or n ear, the sitfc of the bridge. To The Dalles, the bridge is m ost im p o rtan t; to Sherm an county the highw ay is the m ost im p o rtan t. The Dalles w ants a bridge becaust of the increased business th a t pi e h t be brought to them w ith it. We w ant a highw ay because it will biing us some business. T here can be no seriou,s dis-t ag reem en t w ith the sta te m e n t th a t this county has much b e tte r te r rain over which to co n stru ct a highw ay th an has W asco county. A highw ay running from the Col um bia riv e r to te junction n ea r C rite ria n does not need to clim b so high in this county as in W asco county, it does not have to drop into deep canyons, nor cross streap is w ith expensive bridges and it can be much more nearly s tra ig h t than in Wasco county. F rom an engineering and eco nom ical standpoint we have the moat feasib le location. If th e highw ay—and re s u lta n t bridge— is put in W asco county it will be because a g re a te r am ount of w ork was done by th a t county than by us and because of the w eight of nunr>bers which may affect the situation from a politi cal standpoint. O ur appeal m ust th erefo re be m rde to those who a re interested in economy and proper en g in ee r ing. T here m ust be m any whom we can co n tact on th is basis. TO STO P F IR E S R ecent fires and th re a ts of fires bring to th e fro n t ag ain the pos sibility of providing, through com m unity effort, *a m eans o f fighting such fires’ —» In m any p a rts of the s ta te ru ral com m unities have form ed fire d istric ts and purchased equipm ent w ith which to com bat fires in buildings o r in fields. - A section th a t produces a erfip th a t is en dangered by fire fo r so long a p e r iod as we do in Sherm an county m ig h t well in v estig ate the cost and value o f such a d istric t. We have pro p erty of high value anti a sm all m illage would produce enough money in one year to huy a good fighting u n it th a t could be tak en to all fires. Probably no place in the d istric t would be more than 15 or 20 m inutes from m otor ized aid. A good stro n g pick-up th a t would c a rry 200 gallons of w ater, a p re ssu re pum p and some hose would knock a w heat fire o u t in a sh o rt tim e if experience gained h ire to fo re is w orth any th in g . It m ight also extinguish a house or barn fire if not too f a r along. In vestigation m ight disclose th a t insurance ra te s would be adjusted dow nw ard if fire equipm ent was available fo r use in case o f fire. W et sacks and shovels, even when veilded w illingly by neighbors, are a poor w ay of p u ttin g out a grain fire. O ften it is a slow process to g et tra c to rs and plows on the job in tim e to do much. The re g istra tio n of civilians is a step in national defense th a t may, be sorely needed if th e w ar comes to o u r shores. N o one can tell when o r if th a t m ay happen. The re g istra tio n is being m ade so th a t each one m ay have a place to „fill so he or she m ay do his p a rt in a possible invasion. Everyone hopes it does not cOYne; if it does co me, we would all wish fo r some p ielim in a ry organization such as th ir will be. The Russians are likely to do the allies more good after they have been captur^d-^-if the Germans will feed them.” Their appetites may be found more dangerous than their arms. FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1941 TOURTH OF JULY T his is the F o u rth of Ju ly , th* day set aside in th is broad land for celebration of th e D eclaration of Independence, the docum ent th a t our fo re fa th e rs signed p ro claim ing o u r inalienable rig h ts or “ life, liberty and the pursuit o'* happiness.” M any th in g s are being said these days about the p o ssib ility of -lo s in g these rig h ts. T here are m any am ong us who hold th a t we are endangered from w ithout, th a t we m ay be invaded, and out’ liberties taken from us by force of arm s. We do not fe a r th a t. A lib erty loving people do not lo.*e t h r i ” rig h t and privileges so easily. T em porarily they m ay be invaded, but th ey cannot be subjugated. The Y ugoslavs have proven th a t in the Bulkins where encrochm ent:; on rig h ts are much more likely than in ocean protected A m erica. If we lose our liberties— and w • m ay— it will not be from w ithout. We a re not th a t so rt of people. We would be m ore in sisten t on our liberties if foreign foes th re a t- ?ned them and would fight to the death to preserve them . We ar* in d an g e r, how ever, of losing ou” lib erties because we give them aw ay to o a r own governm ent. W ? setm well on th e w ay to e s ta b lishing a bureau ro cracy th a t tells us w hat to do in the nam e o f gov ernm ent. T h a t is not the ideal esta b lish ed by the w ar of independence. The th eo ry of our fo re fa th e rs was th a t th e people should tell th eir governm ent w h at to do. T his day, being the an n iv er sary of the birth o f our liberties, is a good day to consider th e pro- n riety of the path we a re follow ing.

' Red Cross Hóì'ds Con; c 'n o n ' Millions of men and women have heard of Shangri-La. They have seen it in the movies, read about it in a novel which went into 18 printings and they have visioned it in their dreams and fantasies. Shangri-La is the mythical aurora-like sanctuary in the mountains of Tibet con ceived by James Hilton in his famous book “Lost Horizon.” Each individual has his own estimate of Shangri-La. But what is James Hilton’s esti mate? In the opinion of the author of Shangri-La, the most striking actual counterpart of that idyllic retreat is in the up lands along the Oregon-Cali fornia border. Hilton’s geographical descrip tion is not much more specific than that, except that the place is somewhere between Mount Shasta’s white dome and the Medford airport. Just Where Is It? Exactly where is this Ameri can version of Shangri-La? Is It Colestine, Oregon, or Horn brook, California, or any of a score of other hamlets and vil lages which dot the forests of that region?
