About 50 miles of the drive, Including the n.lhv r high Sun Mountain summit.' was through a blinding anow storm. HERB at The Dalles, the early ahrubs are In leaf, the fruit trees are beginning to bloom and the grass Is green and lush. We speak much of Oregon's climate. We should really specify what Oregon climate we are talking about. Oregon has all kinds of them. WIDE, flat, sub-Irrigated grazing lands In the Wood River valley, around Fort Klamath, whereon a little later fat-backed cattle, content ed If ever cowa were, will graze up to their knees In alsike clover whose fragrance will carry for miles down the wind. A fair prospect Indeed, In Its own proper season. W A LONG straight road, carved thru Jackplno. disappearing In the dim distance; luring on to speed and stlll more speed. And beyond these Jackplne tangents the yellow pines and then Bend, sitting beside the Deschutes at the great bend of the river that was known to the enrly lmmlgranta as Farewell Bend, to which they were guided by the Pilot Butte, now one of the most attractive of Oregon's state parks. Beyond Bend the irrigated districts. scattered through the Junipers, and then Redmond and after Redmond the mighty Crooked River canyon, bridged at the point where Peter Skene of Ogden, more than a century go, paused and must have marveled. Here also Is an Oregon state park. 1 A FTER- the Crooked River canyon. with Its sheer walla and Ita glim mering river at the far bottom of the mighty gash that for atark beauty rivals the Grand Canyon the rolling hills of the Madras wheat country, with a hopeful farmer here and there drilling In spring wheat, hoping for moisture enough In this wet year to bring It up. Then the Hay Creek valley, which, H followed away from the highway, Jeads to famed Hay Creek ranch, where still dwell the spirit and the Ttaye of the Old West. I IP a great, sweeping rise, out onto a wide plateau, with the Jagged peaks of the Cascadea glimmering to the west, and off to the east, dim on the horizon, the Blue mountains. Here are the wide open spaces, laid down by nature with her lavish hand nd unchanged by the hand of man. For generations hence they will re train unchanged. DOWN off the great plateau, over another narrow canyon with a 'river rushing at Its bottom, the Peschutes. Tills canyon, a couple of decades go, rang with the clamor of rival railroad crews, pushing their twin bands of steel up either bank, racing to be first to finish. TP OUT of the canyon of the Deschutes, over another ridge nd out again Into the rolling wheat fields; down a winding road that drops ever and ever lower until It touches the Columbia, mighty river of the west, flowing between fare b.lla and perched high up on one of these hills that strange architectural adventure of a strange man, now gone; Maryhlll Castle, built by Sam Hill, for what exact purpose no one knows. AND so on to The Dalles, an old city, as age goea In Oregon; dreaming of the past, but DAY dreaming, not asleep but very much awake. Its eyes fixed upon the oppor tunities of the present and its mind busy with plans for the future; The Dalles, historic spot In the Oregon country, past which flowed the stream erf the ox-team migration, that strangest and most romantic adven ture of all the adventure of our fore fathers, that mighty trek from the shores of the Mississippi to the beaches of the Pacific, out of which rose thla state of Oregon of ours.

April 6. ( AP) Administration objections to the high taxes on corporations, security trans fers and estates written Into the new revenue bill by the house were put before the senate finance committee today by Secretary Mills.

The sections of the bill to which he objected were: The Increase of cor poration affiliates; the tax on divi dends from corporations; balancing of net losses of one year against the pro fits of the next; the maximum 45 per cent estate tax, and the taxes on stock and bond transfers. Several times Mills departed from his statement and raised his voice to assail particular levies. 'How can the railroads, prostrate on their back," he asked, "get the capi tal they must have while these puni tive business taxes prevail?" Replying to questions, Mills -said the treasury complaints were not di rected so much at the high rates but rather at new levies "imposing dou ble taxation on business."
