Around About Seni?r New8 More cheese available Heppner Garden Club a very busy group
By Justine Weatherford
(Editor's note: the first portion of thii column concludes a
thrft-part neriei on Alaska,)
Inez and I walked through the shops, ate, marveled at the
huge, tuberous begonias along the glacieral stream which
tumbles through the area. We especially enjoyed a large
shop featuring Alaska Jade articles. Then our tour continued
to about fifty miles aouth of Anchorage where we stopped at
the magnificent Portage Glacier where I saw my first
Icebergs floating In Portage Lake at the end of Turnagaln
Arm. On the way back to town we stopped for a quick look at
the famous, little watering hole, the Birdhouse. The highway
we traveled on was being rebuilt and enlarged and was very
busy late in the afternoon as folks were leaving Anchorage
for their three-day July Fourth holiday.
That evening Inez and I walked around downtown after
dinner and were still in the large Book Cache when it closed
at 9 p.m. It was so difficult to tell time in Alaska's 22 hours of
daylight, but it was also great to be able to get In so much
more looking around during each day.
Saturday morning, July 3, at 8:30 a.m., we flew out of
Anchorage headed for Seattle, Wash. Our pilots pointed out
many glaciers which were visible below us. Our loaded plane
landed at Sea-Tac about 1:30 p.m., little later than
scheduled because of the strong headwinds which slowed us
some.
We spent that night with the Weavers at Port Orchard,
Wash, and left Rons there. At mid-morning on Sunday, we
met Dennis, Joan and Irene Swanson at Tumwater, and we
three grandmothers came home in Inez's car.
Our most interesting stop coming south was at the Mt. St.
Helens gift shop owned by Ada Piper and her son John, near
Lewis and Clark State Park off of 1-5 between Toledo and
Chehalis where the Pipers also own a trailer and R.V. Park.
I hope some of you have enjoyed reading my review of the
exciting, quick look at Alaska. Last Sunday, in the good
company of Ida Farra, I drove to Cascade Locks to pick up
my visiting granddaughter, Anita Haberlach, 12.
Often when many of us drive down the Columbia River and
home again, we Just don't take time to see a few of the many
interesting things along the route. Ida and I made a rather
leisurely trip in the cool of the forenoon. Our most interesting
"for fun" stop was at Cascade Locks where we took time to
look around the park beside the old section of the locks and to
go through the delightful musuem.
There is no admission charged persons who view the three
floors of exhibits in the house that was at one time the home
of the supervisor of the locks. Ida, who has done much work
at the Morrow County Museum, and I, were pleased with the
whole arrangement of the museum : its main floor parlor-dining
room, the little pantry, the larger kitchen and the
upstairs with the two treasure filled bedrooms which were
extremely interesting. The full basement is filled with
equipment used by early loggers and other workers along the
river. The entire house-museum has old-time pictures on its
walls and in its exhibit cases.
In the little souvenier shop beside the entrance hall, I
purchased the booklet "The Oregon Pony" telling of the
historic, small engine which is carefully preserved in a glass
encasement out in front of the museum. The following two
paragraphs introduce this 10 page booklet.
"During 1858 I8D9 a wooden portage railroad was built for
the transfer of freight around the Cascade Rapids in the
Columbia River. Mules were used to pull the small
four-wheel railroad cars in transferring freight from one
steamboat to another at opposite ends of the rapids.
"In 1861. the owners of the Oregon Portage Railroad
determined to substitute a locomotive for the mules. Thus a
locomotive was ordered fo be built by the Vulcan Iron Works
in San Francisco. It was the first locomotive built on the
Pacific coast, and the first to be used north of the California
line. Because of its small size it was named "The Pony," and
the following dimensions show the name to be well chosen:
Tractive force 810 pounds at 10 mph; Drivers 34 inches
diameter; Cylinders - 6 x 12 inches; Weight 9700 pounds:
Length 14 feet 31 inches; Gauge - 5 feet."
I further learned that the engine was brought by boat to
Portland early in 1862, and it moved an average of 200 tons of
freight every day between Bonneville and Cascade Locks for
two years before being transferred to The Dalles Celilo
Railroad about 40 miles further up the river where it was
used to transport freight around the Celilo Falls and rapids.
After meeting grandchildren Scott and Anita, with their
maternal grandparents and lunching, Ida, Anita and I
started eastward. Our most interesting stop coming home
was one 1 have long intended to make. We went through the
Old St. Peter's Landmark Preservation, Inc. at The Dalles.
This lovely, red brick Catholic Church is now owned by a
non-profit and non-denominational organization that is
restoring and maintaining the building which was dedicated
on St. Patrick's Day in 1898.
A pleasant hostess greeted us inside and showed us about,
and told us some of the building's history and of its
furnishings. This almost pure Gothic style church has a
steeple which rises 176 feet and is topped by a weathervane
rooster. The roof is galvanized iron Spanish tile. Its bell
weighs 533 pounds. The interior of the building contains six
Rose windows and 34 magnificent stained glass windows
made by Posey Brothers of Portland. The paintings in the
interior were by a renowned German artist. The railing and
altars were made in Rally from Carrara marble, and the
Kilgen pipe organ made of rare tigerwood is outstanding.
East of The Dalles we became fascinated by the operating
200 foot tall windmills atop the Goodnoe Hills east of
Goldendale, Wash, which were very visible Sunday after
noon. We watched them turning as we traveled along many
miles of Oregon's 1-84.
The next time you drive toward Portland and back, maybe
you will take a few minutes to enjoy some of the special
points of interest along the way.
