If you must be late with a display advertisement or an

An exception to the Monday deadline is that for class

V-ry Important iwrns, such as a death, an accident, or

When papers are small, there is always a sizable amount

So !. !p us, won't you, by trying to get your material to

Commerce Monday that the on
ly way one could tell for sure
within an hour or so that it was

marKer,
THIS EESEEVOffi will have a
tremendous bearing on the
lives of people in this area in
the future. Its recreational pos
sibilities, its impact on irriga
tion and industry', and its link
in the slac-Kwater navigation 01
the Columbia will profoundly
influence the development of
this part of eastern Oregon.
Slater, in nis taiK r.ionaay,
pave some indication 01 iz;e
I magnitude of the recreational
development at parKs along me
reservoir. A story elsewhere in
the paper tells about this.
He had some other interesting
observations about the rising of ,
the reservoir.
One could expect the higher
water to flush out an abund
ance of rattlesnakes, he said.
"You may not think they're
there, but they are," he said
He told of seeing another pool
filled where jackrabbits were
found stranded on a bare rock
with a number of rattlesnakes.
They didn't pay any attention
to each other.
1 .
! SOME CAUTIONS on safety in
! watching the rising of the
; pool came to us too late to get
I in last week's paper. A story
, from the State Highway Depart
' rnent warns that there may be
'some settling of Highway I-80N
as a result of the saturation
from the reservoir waters.
j Temporary surfacing was ap
! plied on the highway when it
i was constructed, anticipating
! this possible damage, according
i to Forrest Cooper. When subsi
dence has ceased several years
from now permanent surfacing
will be applied to the freeway.
No settlement of a severity to
prevent traffic movement is ex
pected. Highway Department
crews and State Police have
beon alerted, however, to main
tain a constant vigil over this
stretch of 1-80N so that precau
tions can be taken to alert the
motoring public.
"Sinks" could possbily occur
rather suddenly, and all motor
ists are advised to drive with !
caution In places where the!
highway Is adjacent to the pool. .
... ,
ANOTHER CAUTION to the
public is to be wary of bank I
erosion. One wouldn't want to I
be standing too close to the !
edge at some spot only to have i
the bank slough off and toss !
him Into the drink. I

The biennial hunt is on.
This year is open season on
the American voter. The boys
who hop to wm a swivel cnair
and public office are gunning
!or them.
There are several methods
err.ploved by the hunters. One
is to 'stalk 'the victims singly.
catch him off euard in his place
cf business or on the sidewalk.
greet mm like a brother, twist
his wrist with a sympathetic
hand clasp, thrust a vile cigar
to his mouth, and count him
captured. That method is time
taking and expnsive. It is bet
ter to slaughter them in mass
es wr.ere a nunter can siana in
front of a batterv of microphones
and shoot his propaganda into
the crowd is the ideal way. Ke
has an advantage there. He can
cow the crowd by firing a few
blasts of apprehension over
their beads, then fill them full
of platitudes and promises. Af
ter toat the pollsters take over
and tally the results.
Another good strateey is the
dollar-plus dinner. Fill them
with food and they will be as
satisfied as a boa constrictor
who has just swallowed a half
dozen monkeys and a few os
trich eges. While the gathered
voters are in a semi-coma the
hunter shoots from his hip. How
ever, voter hunting is not al
ways easy. The hunter is con
stantly surrounded by camera j
men and TV inquisitors tangled :
in their equipment and eager to !
secure a misstatement of some
kind.
I would rather hunt a duck in
pole thicket along the Road
South than run for office. It's
easier.
