Favorable Reaction Met
In Towns Visited as
Far as Bend.
ASSOCIATION JOINED
Tie-up Made With The Dalles-California
Group; Scenic 360-MUe
Trip Made Easily in Day.
Favorable reaction to the Hepp
ner Lions club proposal Tor early
completion of the Heppner-Spray
road was encountered on a Junket
instigated by the clubs discussion
of the subject at its Monday lunch,
eon. G. A. Bleakman, M. L. Case
Harry Tamblyn, Earl W. Gordon
and Jap Crawford composed the
party which on Tuesday contacted
points to benefit by completion of
the road, as far as Bend.
In the club discussion, it was
brought out that Oregon's allotment
of the- latest grant of federal relief
funds had been made, expenditure
of part of which may be made on
secondary or feeder highways. Ad
vice was received from timber in
terests to the effect that Senator
Steiwer had written of the allot
ment with the statement that local
allocation of the funds was !n the
hands of the state highway com
mission. Al Rankin, club roads
chairman, said application had al
ready been made for a hearing be
fore the commission at its meeting
June 28.
Notice was brought to the club's
attention of the organization re
cently of The Dalles-California
Highway association, and it was to
get in touch with this group as well
as to sell the Heppner-Spray road
along the way, that the junket was
made to Bend.
Spray First Stop.
Leaving Heppner at 5 o'clock in
the morning the junketeers stop
ped first at Spray for breakfast.
Several business men of that place
were Interviewed and found ready
to do whatever they could to help
the move along.
M. F. Lynch, former highway
commissioner and honorary presi
dent of The Dalles-Caiifornia High
way association, was interviewed
at Redmond. Already familiar with
the status of the Heppner-Spray
road, he knew the advantages of
its tie-up with the Ochoco highway
as a feeder road for The Dalles
California route, and was ready to
help.
On to Bend, where two more
warm friends were found in the
persons of Senator Jay Upton, ac
tive president of The Dalles-California
group, and Judge D'Armond,
county judge of Deschutes county.
Senator Upton welcomed member
ships from the Heppner men in
their association; saw how the
Heppner-Spray road ties up to
make a through traffic route from
northeast points to California via
central Oregon's highway, as did
also Judge D'Armond. They would
say a good word to the commission",
and Senator Upton expected his as
sociation would ask for a reappor
tionment of funds already decided
by the commission to go 35 percent
to eastern Oregon, 65 percent to
western Oregon an unfair ratio,
he believed. Wm. T. Campbell,
Morrow county judge, was made a
vice president of The Dalles-California
association.
Back to Prineville and Judge
Biggs, who like Senator Upton fa
vored more funds for eastern Ore
gon; wanted especially to have im
provement work done on Ochoco
highway, but would not oppose
completion of Heppner-Spray road.
Then to Mitchell where the folks
were "hopped up" to get their An
tclope road for a more direct route
to Portland, but willing, too, to see
Heppner-Spray road go through.
5.6 Mile Gap Remains.
The talking point of the junket
eers, as will also be the big argu
ment of the local delegation before
the comjmission in Portland, is that
the Heppner-Spray road is all con
structed with the exception of 6.8
miles on which engineers have plac.
cd estimates of $60,000 and $65,000
and that the value of some million
dollars already spent on the road
is largely lost until this gap is com
pleted. Easy driving took the junket to
Bend and back In the one day, ar
riving back home at 10 o'clock,
with five hours taken out for stops.
The Service creek cut-off was tak
en from Spray to Mitchell and
found to be In very good condition,
By this route the mileage check to
Bend is 180 miles; 52 miles from
Heppner to junction with John Day
highway, 3 miles to Spray, 14 miles
from Spray to Service creek, 24
miles from Service creek to Mit
chell, 52 rrviles from Mitchell to
Prineville, 18 miles from Prineville
to Redmond, and 18 miles from
Redmond to Bond. At no point
was progress unduly delayed by the
condition of the road, good time
being possible even over the new
macadam construction on the
Whetler county end of the Heppner-Spray
road.
High Elevations Crossed.
The route of the junket took it
across the Blue mountains at an
elevation of 4600 feet, and across

GRIST
From Happenings Here and Ton
Concerning
When Paul Bunyan
Played Along the
Heppner-Spray Road
and other things of more or less
moment as seen by
The O. T. REPORTER
A new chapter in the life of Paul
Bunyan wil soon be opened to the
world.
As axe and saw make the woods
resound when completion of the
Heppner-Spray road opens another
belt of ripe yellow pine timber to
the logging industry, around the
fire at eventide Paul Bunyan's
lore will be made richer by evi
dences of his handiwork revealed
thereabouts.
Evidence has already been un
covered that Paul was a golf play
er or no mean ability.
A couple of his tees still stand
along the Service creek cut-off from
Spray to Mitchell. Perfect cones
they are, and Indisputable evidence
that Paul swung a mean club, tak
ing the ball off clean; else would
he not have leveled his tees as does
the duffer?
"But what green did Paul drive
10: vou ask. There nrn apvpral
possibilities. Not the least likely
is the bunchrgrass covered Hepp
ner flats, and who knows but what
he holed out right here In Heppner.
www
Paul liked a cold drink alnnp- the
course; so with his niblick he
knocked off a moilntalnaatda th rpp
or four miles beyond Hardman to
uncover a spring, and grinding the
rock under his heel he covered the
spring loosely. The draft thrnnirh
the rock caused the water to freeze,
and Paul had ice, which reveals
his masterful knowledge of physics.
www
Mr. Bunyan's son Paul was a
playful fellow. With his sinele-
bladed jackknife he scraped him
self a hazard out of solid rock,
and made the John Day valley, and
at times, in a pensive mood, he
would sit down and dabble with
his art, making varicolored many
of the exposed! cliffs; objects for
mere man to gaze upon and wonder
at the delicacy of Paul's nature.
WWW
Paul was thoughtful fnr hin nkv.
ground; so he made himself a drag
and with his great white ox drug
back the land from central Oregon
and piled up the Cascades high
enough to catch the moisture-laden
ocean breezes and condenan hpm
in the form of snow, to melt in the
ary season and keep his play-1
ground green. The cooled breezes
helped refresh him, and he liked,
too, to sit and gaze upon the beau
ty oi tne wnite robed peaks that
resulted from his work.
Casual observation rpveala thio
much as one drives over the soon-to-be-comDleted
rnuta tn mnini
Oregon. How much more will be
found concerning Paul's nature as
he played about the Rlnn ami rv.v,n
co mountain district will undoubt
