Heat Sickness Precautions Given "It is always wise to be on guard against heat sickness and to take the necessary precautions to avoid overexposure to the sun and prolonged physical exertion in extreme heat", is a warning issued by N. C. Anderson, Morrow County Extension Agent. With the coming of high temperatures along with the busy season on the farm, heat illness can be seri ous, sometimes fatal. 3.

Over them passed I'eter Skene Ogdcn, Hudson's 13ny factotum, in 18X5 and 1H8, with his trap ping parties. Nathaniel J. VVyelh, famous fur trader, followed this trail south in 1834 and 1835. Capt. John C. Fremont, exploring for Uncle Sam, took the same route south in 1K13. Lt. Henry L. Abbot surveyed the area for a railway In 18J5. Itoute Forks at Madras ?

If you've had enough of wind ing through the pines with some thing new and primitive awaiting you at every twist and turn of the road, you can follow the broad, black ribbon of U. S. highway 12t down the McKenzie to Eugene, U. S. highway '20 to Albany or state highway 22 to Salem. We took highway 20 to look for the ghosts of the redskins, the trappers, the mountain men, and after them the road builders that blazed the trail we traveled. Sure enough, scarcely five miles out or town, at Indian Fork, there is a roadside historic marker at the spot where Indian trails used to converge for the passage through the Cascades over the Santiam pass. Forest Map Shows Itoad Another four miles west you leave the pavement for the old Santiam toll road, also called .he Willamette and Cascade Moun tain wagon toll road. You can got a forest map nt the Sisters ranger station to help you. Hut there will be no prob lem following this forest truck trail through the parklike pine woods, about five mil-s to the old Cache Creek toll station, which is marked by a roadside sign. Intrepid nutoists should check with District Ranker Harold Uus- tafson at Sisters before attempt ing the road. It should be driven only from east to west with con ventional cars to avoid trouble on the hills. Big rocks may give trouble to cars with low clear ances west of Big Lake: Indian Trails Followed The route, which follows old Indian trails, was first explored by Andrew Wyley, a hunter and scout, in ItvV.t. Later he was "chief pilot" for the locators of the Willamette Valley and Cas cade Mountain road, constructed in 1S63 and 18GG by Linn county settlers, seeking access to the rich grasslands of central Oregon and a route to market their fat cattle. The first 123 miles of wagon road from Albanv to the Deschutes cost about 510,000. In 18T1, the original settlers sold their stock to speculators, and the assets, including rich timberlands, were claimed by T. Fgenton Hogg, in the promotion of his fabulous Corvallis & East ern railway, which is a story in itself. Some $15,000,000 worth of stock was sold. About 143 miles of railroad was actually built, to within 12 miles of the pass. Another 100 yards or more of rails were actually laid in the pass itself and equipped with a single bocar to hold Hogg's claim to the pass. The old grade, built by the hand labor of hundreds of Chinese coolies, can still be seen on the north side of the main Santiam highway, V. S. 20. just west of Santiam lodije, marked by a his torical sin.

Sounds like a bargain-yet it really cost more than today's gasoline. The reason is clear when you keep this fact in mind: You fill your car's tank with gasoline, but what you're actually buying is mileage. Naturally, you'd rather pay $l a gallon for gas that gave you 100 miles a gallon than buy I0c gas that delivered only 5 miles to the gallon. And that's why today's gasoline costs less than motor fuel of 1925 ... it gives you more miles to the dollar. Research by companies such as Standard Oil Company of California has im proved gasoline spectacularly over the years. This better motor fuel made more efficient auto engines possible, and together they give you up to 50 better mileage than motorists got in the '20's. On top of that, competition between oil companies has helped to hold down gasoline prices. Since 1925, they've risen only 20 (excluding taxes) while food has gone up 70, clothing 63 tand thecost of living 53. Compared to practically anything else you buy, gasoline is a bargain. Your money goes urtner when it goes for today's finer gasol that delivers tne more miles to the dollar. I
