Form er Kinzua resident retells youth
H> ROBERT JtiN Eii
F o rm e rly of Kinxua, K oberly
Junes. 34, is currently with the
United Cerebral Palsy Intensive
Training Home in Portland Until a
year ago. he lived with his parents
and attended the vocational training
during the day A skill trainer at the
center says that he has a "photo
graphic memory, is highly intelli
gent and writes a lot. composing
slowly on the typewriter ”
On of his stories "As I Remember
Kinxua and Camp F iv e ," was
printed in the Oregon Cerebral
Palsy Assoc newletter:
Kinxua. In the Indian language is
a word meaning "land of fish," but It
also meant the name of one of the
last remaining company lumber
town in the United Slates
Kinxua was built In 1927. and was
located In W heeler County, in
Kastern Oregon, virtually isolated
from any map The houses were
crude, made of fir lumber and
painted brown
There were no
paved streets, (he road was some
times rough and difficult to travel
over
In its prime, Kinxua had almost
everything which you would expect
to find in any other city Besides the
sawmill, it had a general mercantile
store, a first aid station, service
B o a rd m a n w om an nam ed to regional arts council
station, church a logging truck
terminal and repair shop, a tavern,
and a television system which came
via cable A free sanitation sarvice
was also provided
Camp Five, where my parents
resided until last year, was estab
lished in 1941. fourteen years after
Kinxua It was the Kinxua s Com
pany's main logging camp, located
ten miles from Kinxua It consisted
of a logging office, fuel storage shed,
power plant house, chair saw repair
shop and a community hall
There
was also a lake for swimming and
fishing and an air and ground forest
fire patrol
As I have previously mentioned.
Dad's place of employment was with
the timber falling crew, with which
he had worked for over thirty years
I'm told that at one time, there
was a logging train at Camp
powered by a steam locomotive,
which transported logs from Camp
to Kinxua before the diesel powered
trucks were in full production I was
too voung to remember this, but
Mom and Dad have told me about It
Kinxua was my home for almost
all of my life, except for the thirteen
years which I attended school here
in Portland
Incidentally, I might
add that both Kinxua and Camp Five
had their own volunteer ambulance
