From where I sit ... 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.
Whether it's the right to use the
public highways or the right to en
joy an occasional glass of beer,
Easy's out to protect his neighbor's
"right of way."

"Honestly, now
aren't gasoline 1
prices too high?"
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:

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:

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

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.
