Single Copy 10 Cent The Oregon Centennial The Gazette-Times always welcomes the poet ic efforts of what this writer fondly calls, The G-T's poet, Spencer Akers, now of Aumsville. We usually look for It about the first of the year, and were a little surprised this week to receive his 19G0 efforts nearly three months early. When you read it, you vill see why he couldn't wait But, whenever it comes we welcome it, and we are sure our readers do too. The Oregon Centennial has come to a close, And off Into history It's memory goes. And those who passed thru it's gates well know, Twas a wonderful, grand and glorious show. American history of the last hundred years, Was a history of wars, disappointment and tears. Regardless of wars the nation progressed, From the eastern shores to the wild, wooly west. While giving great honor to the old pioneer, Who bro't us happiness, wealth and cheer, Let's hasten to bring our respects to pay To those of note of a former day. There's Sacajawea the guiding star, Who came with Lewis and Clark afar, To blaze a trail toward the setting sun; An honored task and work weM done. An Indian girl of tender years, Arose above all earthly fears, And led the way to western lands, To where the City of Roses stands. From here these men of fame and she, Continued westward to the sea. With this brave guide the way was blazed, For wagon trains of later days, When multitudes were westward bound, And where at Journey's end they found A country on which God had smiled, And which no human had defiled. This human stream ne'er ceased to flow, Since Greeley, years and years ago, Advised the youth with this request: "Go west young man, go west, ro west." The young men and the older too, With wives and children bade adieu, To eastern friends and eastern lands, And treked across the western sands, To this, the garden of their dreams, With giant trees and laughing streams. And here among the evergreens, Mid beauties panoramic scenes, A park of worldly fame was made, And debts of gratitude were paid To Sacajawea, this noted guide, By ever letting her abide Among the beauties she surveyed, And which from memory will never fade. For years she's stood beneath a spruce, While on her back a young papoose, Has shared the sunshine and the rain; A god-send to our wide domain. O'er looklng flowers, shrubs and lawns. Our Sacajawea will ever be, Exalted In our memory. There are other folks of Oregon fame, Whom I should mention here by name, Who helped to make our Oregon great; Indeed a famous western state. There's Applegate and Jason Lee, And Mr. Benson to mention three. There's democratic governor West, Who gave local option a thorough test. He sent Miss Hobbs to Copperfleld, Who stayed till every saloon was sealed. There's Jaqulne Miller, a poet of renown; A writer from an Oregon town. Thert are many congressmen of late, Who did wonders for our state, By awakening it from a quiet nap, And putting Its name upon the map. They gave us dams with water power,- That's measured by the kilowatt hour. The results of this as you well know, Was vlsloned at the centennial show. There's governor Hatfield I mustn't forget, Who hasn't had time to do much yet, But keep an eye upon this gent, Some think he's marked for president. So now I'll bring this to a close; When I write again nobody knows. I'll promise you this if I am here, I'll write again next centennial year. Spencer Akers, Aumsville, Ore.

TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: The following short speech was given Sunday by La Verne Van Marter Jr at the Heppner banquet for Howell Appling Jr, Oregon's secretary of state. I feel everyone should be interest ed in it and that it should reach a wider audience. I hope that It can be printed.

That subject is money, and, more spe cifically, money that Is needed in support ot our political party the Republican Party. The political activities of all levels of government -county, state and national are vitally Important to us all. Therefore, we have, or should have, a deep Interest In these political activ itiesand, the only way most of us can show an Interest is through the support of our pol itical party because our candi dates, when elected, most closely practice and follow the prin ciples In which we believe. The situation generally throughout the State of Oregon In past years, : particularly . at the county level, has been that a few dedicated workers did the Lion's share of the work, a few individuals financially support ed party activity, and the ma jority did almost nothing ex cept vote and, apparently not enough did even that. This year we hope to remedy that situation in all respects. As far as the financial aspect Is concerned, our own Morrow coun ty campaign fund drive will be held in October. Our state and national quota Is $960.00, plus our county budgeted expenses and local candidates assistance quota of $419,00, for a total to be raised of $1,379.00. This is our goal. These funds, when collect ed, will finance the political act ivities on all leves for the next two years that Is, through the elections of 1960. In past years, long range pol itical programs could not be planned because finance drives were held during the heat of an election campaign. By raising the money now, long range pro grams can be Initiated, and the money carefully spent to the best advantage through the two year period. In Morrow county there are approximately 1200 registered Republicans. With a total of $1,379.00 to be raised in this county, it would require only a relatively small contribution in dividually if all or most of these 1200 participated. I ask that you start now to pass on this appeal to your Re publican friends and acqualn tances, be prepared yourself to actively participate In your par ty's program and to make your own contribution when you are contacted in the campaign drive If we do this, we should have no difficulty In reaching our goal of $1,379.00, and we will have the satisfaction of knowing that we have made an Investment in the cause of good government, Mrs Verner Troedson, Secretary-treasurer, Morrow County Republican Central Committee George Rugg, local rancher, called at the office this week and reported a very interesting and educational trip from which he and his wife, Shirley and Mr and Mrs Orville Cutsforth have recently returned. The trip was made to Rapid City, South Da kota to visit the ranch of Otto Wolff, who, it is reported, is the only rancher running sheep under pasture on the U S Nat ional Forest The Ruggs were picking up any Information on range and sheep management and improvement which might apply to conditions here.
