WHEN we left Reno, which
we visited on a motorlog trip
sponsored by The Oregonian
and the Oregon State Motor as
sociation, we headed for Las
Vegas, by way of Death Valley.
Early one afternoon we started
south from Reno, taking alter
nate route 17 south in order to
give us a glimpse of Virginia
City, the famous ghost mining
town only 23 miles south of
Reno.
We stopped at Minden. jusi a
lew miles south of Carson City,
that first night out and started
out the next morning for Lone
Pine.
Mono lake, high in the bosom
of the Sierras, offers wonder
ful sport for the fisherman, and
good accommodations.
Pan Summit High
It is just north of Mono lake
that the highway reaches its
highest point. 8138 feet.
We had a late lunch at Bishop
and thn pushed on to Lone
Pine, wfc-Te we were to start
next ""ning on our drive
through Death Valley.
There are several entrances
to Death Valley, but the easiest
route across is the way we made
it east from Lone Pine in Cali
fornia, at an elevation of 3700
feet, and out via Death Valley
Junction, Cal., and Roses Well.
Nev. There is water and gas at
intervals of every 20 miles, for
which we were also grateful.
There are 560 species of na
tive plants in the valley, amen?
them tfie sage and Joshua tree,
the yucca and the yellow
prickly pear and spiny stars
and iodine bush, besides clus
ters of anemone like pearly
white flowers and feathery
brick red blossoms on tall thin
stems whose names I don't
know. Even in the heat they

were so startlingly beautiful
we had to stop and take colored
pictures.
The first resort is Stove Pipe
Wells hotel, a colorful man
made oasis. It is one of the few
resorts in Death Valley. The
largest resort area is at Furnace
Creek, near national monument
headquarters, on the eastern
edge. Furnace Creek Inn is a
beautiful sprawling resort in
the Spanish manner, with swim
ming pools and green gardens
that are a welcome break to the
glare of the desert sands.
A mile or two westward
across the valley is Furnace
Creek camp, with both sleeping
and housekeeping cabins, res
taurant lounge, grocery store,
curio shop and gas station. Here
accommodations are at a much
lower rate than at the inn.
Vegas Grows Rapidly
We spent half a day In Las
Vegas, seeing the rapidly grow
ing city which is the Reno of
southern Nevada.
Seventeen years ago Las
Vegas was a small railroad
town. Then Boulder dam was
built some 25 miles eastward
on the Colorado river; a mag
nesium plant was erected be
tween Vegas and Boulder City;
the war years brought a great
air base and gunners' school;
gambling clubs and picturesque
resort hotels and ranches kept
pace with the gradual growth
of the community until now the
city boasts an estimated popu
lation of 25.000 an increase of
nearly 20.000 in 17 years
Here again vital statistics
hold attention. Both divorces
and wedi'ings have increased
enormously in the last six years.

Yes, there is an easier way to farm. It's the new Powr-Trol
way! John Deere has created another source of tractor power
and put it to work for you ... to raise and lower all your inte
gral and drawn equipment ... at a touch of your hand on a
convenient lever!
Powr-Trol is the nearest thing yet to completely automatic
operation of tractor equipment. It's faster, too, and enables you
to do better work because a touch on the same lever also ad
justs your implement to any desired setting, without stopping
or even slowing down.
Here's an outstanding new John Deere development that
sounds the keynote for tomorrow's farming. Get all the fact
on it at our store the next time you're in town!
