Joe Marsh Driving home on Three Ponds Road yesterday, I was flagged down by Easy Roberts' boy Skeeter. "Take it slow," he advised. "Dad's crossing this' road with our tractor, just beyond the bend." Around the curve I saw why Skeeter stopped me. Easy had laid two rows of old truck tires across the road, and was driving his new "Cat" tractor over them! "More trouble this way," Easy explains, "but it does keep those tank tracks from tearing up the asphalt when I have to cross over to our other fields. After all, the Easy Makes His "Cat" Tread Lightly roads belong to all of us and I guess I'd get mad if someone else chewed them up." From where I sit, Easy is my kind of citizen. He doesn't just give democracy lip service. He honestly believes it's his duty to consider the other fellow's interests.

Everyone who can remember what things used to cost only ten or twenty years ago may well think of those times as "the good old days." Recalling them, and the extreme bargains offered during the depres sion, people have asked Standard such questions as "Honestly, now aren't gasoline prices too high?" In answer to a question like that, Standard asks you to consider the broad situation. All prices should be kept as low as possible. But in judging what's "too high," let's see what's happened: p-.-3 p z3l groceries J .trJi A yfj -mmf .. .. 1926 1951 1926 1951 1926 1951 1926 1951 Price comparisons 1926 and 1951 Let's look back on those "good old days" to 1926, a fairly normal year. Since then, most prices have varied greatly. By 1951, farm products cost over twice as much as in 1926, groceries and cloth ing about two-thirds more. But in 1951, gasoline costs almost as little as it did in 1926 actually up less than 4 , except for taxes, now 6i to 8f- a gal lon in the West. Most people's income has gone up enough in those years so that gasoline takes a far smaller share of their budget. So gasoline today far from being "too high" is an exceptionally good buy. See how and why this has come about HOW have gas prices been kept from getting "too high"? Partly through improvement in refin ing methods, developed by big companies' research. We've learned to get more gas out of every barrel of crude. (And it's better gas; 2 gallons now do work that took 3 only 25 years ago.) WHY have gas price been kept from getting "too high'? Because there's intense competition. To stay in business, all oil companies are always looking for ways to cut costs of producing, trans porting, refining, and marketing. We keep finding them, passing benefits on to you. I'd Like to Know . . . Many people write to Standard asking nertinent questions about the Company. We answer all letters individually, out some points seem of general interest. We take this way of discussing them for everyone. If you have a question, we urge you to write in care of: "I'd Like to Know," 225 Bush Street, San Francisco 20, California. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better Century Drive. Lzid oi High Lakes, Tailored for Resting, Good Fishing The following I condensation f fnotorlog appearing In the August 18 Issue of The Oregonian'i Sunday Magazine section. It Is one of an annual series of motorlogs sponsored jointly by The Orego nlan and the Oregon State Motor association. , BY J. RICHARD NOKES 1 CUT Editor, Trie Oregontan li you prefer exhaust fumes to dust, neon to starlight and the bowling alleys we call high ways to the tall timber, then read no further. This is not for you. - But If you are of the kind who enjoy mother nature with a heavy seasoning of sleeping bags and campfires, then come away with us in the white Ford of the Oregon State Motor asso ciation over rough forest service roads to the high lakes of the First leg of the trip took us via Wapanitia cutoff to Bend, center of Oregon's land-o-lakes. Prime objective of the motor log was to spin around Century drive with its hundred miles of a hundred lakes. For the first 20 miles from Bend into the Cas cades we traveled on a new roadbed that was the equal of Sunset highway or the Wilson river route. It was hard-surfaced, broad and the curves were gentle. Road Became Rough But after the first 20 miles, brother. Rig for heavy weather. Abruptly we went from para dise to paradise lost. The contractor, we were in formed later, had gone broke in trying to push a good high way through to Elk lake. Gin gerly we skirted over and around huge boulders left in the roadbed by bulldozers. Low gear VLB lave Crescent i IX. ' rne. 'Resevoir awond La.xe I- - ? si' ir--. js-c 1 Elk Lake, with South Sister In background, is often dotted with flatties put out from summer homes on water's edge. Loop route taken by writer of accompanying motorlog story. was the only possible speed as we ground through deep ruts. Eventually, we were through the construction section and on to forest service roads that car ried us the rest of the way to Elk lake, 34 miles from Bend. Not all the lakes are smack dab on Century drive. Many of them are one, five or more miles away on intercepting forest roads. Some may be reached only by trail. First lake we en countered was Sparks lake in the shadow of the Three Sisters with a forest on one side and a meadow on the other. There were campers on the banks and fishermen in boats on the lake. Next came Devil's lake just after we passed through remains of snow that had blocked the road until two weeks earlier. By that time we were at 5000 feet and we stayed near that al titude the rest of the way through the Cascade lakes. Big event on Century drive is ar rival at Elk lake, 34 miles from Bend. Here is the closest ap proach to soft living on the loop. There are sailboats on the water, about 30 summer homes, and Elk lake lodge. The lodge is the only trading post for 100 lakes in the area, it offers the only cabin accommo dations (they are excellent and reasonable, but must be booked well in advance). Bedding is available. Boats and motors are avail able to rent. Gasoline and gro ceries (but no camera film) are for sale. Swimming is good and so is fishing. Like the other lakes along the route. Elk lake is stocked with Rainbow and Eastern Brook trout. Elk lake is almost surrounded by towering South Sister, Bro ken Top, Bachelor mountain and Elk mountain. A photographer should ask no more than sail boats on a lake with South Sister as a backdrop. Like all other lakes on Cen tury drive, Elk lake has excel lent camp grounds maintained by the forest service. Tables. fireplaces and tent sites are' available. Permits to build fires should be obtained at the Elk lake forest guard station. Leaving Elk lake we con tinued through the heart of the pine forest (lodgepole at this point, ponderosa farther on). Next we paused at Lava lake and little Lava lake, headwaters cf the rushing Deschutes river. Campers and their signs beer bottles and tin cans were there and at Cultus lake which has a fine bathing beach. Century drive once was an even 100 miles from Bend through the mountains and back. Now the shortest route is 87 miles. It can be made even longer by following forest serv ice roads southward toward Odell lake on Willamette pass highway. Our return to The Dalles-California highway was at a point 15 miles south of Bend. Lakes In Crater Not having had enough of lakes and dust by this time, we turned right on highway 97 which we followed for ten miles, then left into the hills to Paulina and East lakes in Newberry crater, These are among Oregon's most famous fishing lakes. Paulina and East lakes both have forest camp grounds and both have resorts with cabins and tent houses. Reservations for cabins must be made in ad vance, but tent houses often are available. . Still not tired of lakes, we took the excellent Santiam pass route from Bend to Salem. We paused at Suttle lake where there are lodge cabins and forest service campgrounds. Here fun goes farther than fishing and swimming. Saddle horses are available and pack trips are booked into the Mt. Jefferson wild area. Near by are Crater lake and Blue lake, well known to fisher men. All-in-all, the trip was tailored to delight anglers. Scenery and quiet are the chief attractions for other members of the family.
