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. Wear light porous clothing.
4. Increase the use of salt to
offset the excessive loss of salt in
the body through perspiration.
5 Drink water often through
out the day, one glass at a time.
6 Eat nutritious food but
avoid over-eating- Vitamin C
lost through perspiration should
be replaced with fruit juices.
7. Avoid ice water and alcohol.

dusty trail, but passable for any
auto all the way at this time of
year.
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.

MOTOR SERVICE i
In the fondly-remembered time of the nickel
trolley and the 25p T-bone, gasoline for dad's
1925 model cost about lSf a gallon (excluding
taxes). 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
