There ore many Mies In the Blue Mountains to the sou n that
could be developed as parka. The Bull Prairie Reservoir is now
underway, but It Is only the beginning of inabilities.
The Columbia river In the Boardman lrrlgon area should have
some real possibility for development, too. with Its vast lntlal

It has been said that the state Is not Interested in developing
areas not served by state hlchways. We do not know If this is true,
but the chamber Is looking Into it. The organization is making
an effort to encourag:e any state help.
Certainly If more people are coming to the county, they will
be seeking recreation. It Is something that needs prime consideration.
Breathing Room and Shapely Trees
On an outing up Willow Creek on a recent warm evening we
found a wonderful spot. Grassy meadows were flanked by a
variety of evergreen trees, and Willow Creek tinkled merrily down
through the setting. A thoughtful camper had left a crude but
efficient table, a small rock fireplace and even dug a pit for
KUrVeKcouldn,t help but notice, however, how sharpely the ever
greens were-so full and well balanced. We mused on this sub
Ject and remembered that last Christmas In the North Santlam
country we had hunted a long time to find a shapely tree, one
that had limbs well rounded. '
Then it occurred that the reason Is obvious. The trees are not
so crowded here. They have room to grow and develop In their
own full shapes. ,
The thought comes that this may also apply to humans. Ter
haps those who grow up In more sparsely settled areas may have
opportunity to develop more fully In their own natural way with
out being so influenced by the environment of dense populations.

and Arnold and the ed started
out the door with it. Just as we
hit the sidewalk, the form buck
led and the straining plywood
lent way down with ihe weight.
It looked for a moment as if The
Special Edition might end right
there In an inglorious heap on
the sidewalk. Arnold, grunting
under his end of the load, look
ed helplessly at me; I, panting
under the weight of my side,
looked helplessly back at him.
Should we diop the whole thing
right there in a heap on the side
walk after a wearj'ine night, for
get the Special Edition and go to
bed
We didn't. Somehow we man
aged to hunch it on the truck
bed and numbly fitted the pieces
back together in the chase.
(After the edition was published
our good new friend, Dr. A. D.
McMurdo, was protuse in praise
of the paper, "It was almost a
miracle!" suld he. Arnold and I
thought it a miracle that we ever
got those two pages on that
truck when it looked as if we
had a pile of pied type on our
hands).
We can laugh about it now.
This was the bottom in the
production of The Special, but
others nearly as bad.
We went through the ceremonies
of going to bed alter tnis inci
dent of the nearly-pied pages,
but only to get up in an hour
to take off for Woodburn.
Arnold's truck, virtues or
which he extolled In proud terms,
didn't seem to like tne luea oi
ihu iinr run to Woodburn. By
the time we reached Arlington on
a reprovingly hot day, the tern
ncriiture needle was striving des
perately to push past the pin
ihnt st ots it at the extremity
on the right, and great gurgling
sounds came from the bowels of
the cooling system. A flush job
would cure all, we thought, and
a service station man did his
best. Ten miles later, though the
truck was objecting strenuously
again. Another service station
man at Biggs exclaimed with
triumph when he located the
"trouble," a loose hose. It did
n't sound right, but he bet the
price of his work that our
troubles were over, and we
struck out once more.
From that time on, the trip
tn Portland was a succession of
steaming emergency stops, but
our 12 pages of Welcome were
bouncing along merrily on the
bed of the truck. By the time we
reached Banfield expressway, the
7 was rac ne. un on ine motor
was burning and filling the cab
with smoke; the radiator turned
and frothed with the torment of
Hades. Arnold grabbed his can
teen, scurried across the freeway,
vanitpH a fence and appealed to
flood Neiehbor working In his
yard. Two trips or cool water
quieted the truck until we made
service station on union
Avenue to regroup our forces.
In the process of the heating
ind hectic confusion of time in
thu nr.'at State of Oreeon. the
writ.r missed a wedding about
which he previously reported.
Rut ftnallv we limped into
Woodburn and started the press
run. Kxoectine to spend part of
the night in slumber, we rented
a nice motel room and told the
proprietor we would be in late.
That was not true. We were in
early the next morning. Dawn
blossomed over the valley be

Some 30 miles fr-m Wixwltiurn
tiur fear seemed Jut tied when
a Mop at a sen ice station re
vealed that the oil didn't even
show on Ihe stick. Arnold arose
to the occasion and put in 50
weight oil. This seemed to be the
ticket and the truck pcifoimed
like a champion from there on
out. 1 1 don't know if he put the
oil In wih a sioon or a paddle! I.

He caught me at a bad mo-,
ment. I didn't answer and don't
know how I would have an-;
swered, had I been pressed. Now.,
after the edition has "gone to

We knew that there were om-1
missions in this paper. We want- j
ed to say more about such things
as the Morrow County Creamery;
and its colorful owners, Mr. and
