VOYAGE OF THE 29U126 UP THE ROGUE

eitide hts been condensed

BY RICHARD L. NEUBERGER
THE 29U12S Is neither as for
midable as dreadnought nor
as pretentious as an ocean liner.
But it can take you on a spec
tacular trip no Warspite or
Mauritania will ever made. The
28U128 is one of the 32-foot,
V-8 propelled boats which each
morning navigate the 32 miles
of Roque river scenery between
Cold Beach, on the Oregon sea-
coast, and Agness, locked in the
heart of the Siskiyou national
forest
This journey was undertaken
s part of the motorlog to the
proposed seashore national pane
in Curry county. The Coast
highway threads across the
Rogue on a graceful aqueduct,
so it was not out of our way
for us to accept Roy Carter's
invitation to go up the Rogue.
We left The Oregonian-Oregon
State Motor association car at
Gold Beach and acocmpanled
Roy on the cruise.
Our motorlog party or per
haps it should be boating con
sisted of the same individuadls
who struggled so heroically
with the headlands of the park
area: Wallace Sprague of the
Oregon Statesman; Ralph Gil

Tern Fry and his boss, Roy Carter, watch the flowing Rogue
head as the 29U12S approaches stretch of white water.
As we started upstream, with
the Pacific a white-flecked sheet
of blue in the distance, Roy
Carter introduced us to Tom
Fry, a half-breed Rogue River
Indian who has been navigat
ing to 29U128 for eight years.
So far as we are concerned, we
now are ready to go with Tom
Fry on a log raft through the
Dardanelles or over Victoria
falls In a steam dredge. We are
sure he is a better navigator
than Drake and as good a river
runner as Lewis and Clark.
This has been a dry, arid sum
mer. The woods are ready to
crackle. Streams and creeks
have waned into thin trickles
and the Rogue Is near low ebb.
Its rocky bottom is within a few
feet of the surface. Reefs and
bars ordinarily buried beneath
layers of water are now near
enough to touch. Wary the boat
man who covers this tortuous
course. Tom Fry did it
At last (iter about 2 hours
and ti minutes on the river,
we reached the settlement of
Agness. Most people who visit
Agness do so by boat, reports
Lawrence D. Lucas, who runs
the farmhouse at Agness which
serves as inn, restaurant and
hotel. He has lived at Agness all
his life, except for service in
the world war and a few years
at Oregon State college, but he
still believes the boat trip is a
heart-warming experience.
We ate lunch at Mr. Lucas'
farmhouse, which he terms the
Agness hotel, and, there being
no rival to the claim, the name
stands. Then we set out for the
postoffice. There we met Mr.
and Mrs. George Washington
Rilea, who keep the general
store at Agness. For many years
Mr. Rilea was postmaster in the
fourth-class postoffice in the
store. But Mr. Rilea is a repub
lican, and when bis term ex
pired recently he had to submit
to the fortunes of politics, and
Frank L. Vernon, who belonga
to the same party as the Honor
able James A. Farley, took over
the job.
However, both Mr. and Mrs.
Rilea told us with considerable
sltisfaction that Mr. Vernon
was leaving the postoffice in
the store, so they would con
tinue to get the benefit of the
mail trade. It seems that the
schism between democrats and
republicans in Agness is not un
bridgeable.
Downstream we sped at
about 30 miles an hour. It took
only half as long as going up.
Tom Fry navigated the boat
with his customary dexterity
and we completed the journey
without mishap.
Roy Carter's boats have
hauled more than a million
pounds of freight and several
thousand people into the Ore
gon coastal hills without an
accident The trip has numerous
thrills, but it is not dangerous;
neither is it rocky enough to
distress any but the queasiest
digestive apparatus. It can be
made both ways, to Agness and
back, between 9 in the morning
and 3:43 in the afternoon. Any
one who crosses the Rogue
river on the Oregon Coast high
way and fails to take this jour
ney is his own worst enemy.
Berlin. Aug. 20. UP) A Brit
ish Bristol-Blenheim bomber
which attempted raid on Ber
lin early this morning was shot
down at Oldenburg, near Bre
men, authorized sources reported
today.
Detecting devices followed the
raider across the country after
it was driven away from the
capital by anti-aircraft fire, it
was explained.
The bomber, which dropped
numerous flares over a suburb
an area only nine miles from
Berlin, was one of two which
attempted to approach the city
during the night. The other was
driven away from the far west
ern outskirts by an anti-aircraft
barrage,
Spokesmen said that no bombs
were dropped near Berlin by
the British planes.
So far at Germany was con
cerned, the appearance of the
British planes near Berlin, which
gave the capital Its fourth air
raid alarm of the war and sent
residents to underground shel
ters for an hour and 40 minutes,
was the high spot of a day
marked by general lull in
aerial activity.
DNB, the German news agen
cy, announced that German
planes again had "successfully
bombed" the Eastchurch and
Southend airports and others in
Kent, southeast of London to
day.
Authorized German sources
said air battles were being
fought over southeastern Eng
land

agreement was forerunner of a

the peace of the Pacific region.
Other papers urged early es
tablishment of Japan's "new or
der in East Asia" (her program
for domination over China,
southeastern Asia and the East
Indies) as an offset to future col
laboration between the United
States and the British domin
ions. The newspaper Yomlurl said
the Canadian pact was "proof
that the United States no longer

OIL BURNING HEATERS

THE Only
Oil Burning Heater With
fMEEMOL
HUMIDIFYING
It Is a scientifically detnonstrate4 lad that a home with
proper humldlfleatlon requires less heat to provide health
ful and comfortable living conditions. PREWAY provide
ihlt added comfort with evert DeLuxe healer. The correct
humidity Is now maintained through the development of
a six-gallon circulating humidifying system, which pro
vides sufficient moisture for the room atmosphere. Water
of the correct temperature and sufficient area la exposed
to the circulating heated air, which absorbs the necessary
amount of water to maintain the proper humidity require
ments. Keeled humidified air results In a better diffusion
of heat with more even room temperatures. For that
reason, the cost of operating a PREWAY DeLuxe Heeter
Is considerably lower than ether heaters since less heat
Is required for living comfort.
The Only
Oil Burning Heater With
CONTROLLED
FUEL GENERATION
PREWAY Is the first and only heater to use Controlled
Fuel Generation to produce perfect combustion without
smoke, soot or carbon. Since ell heaters were first con
ceived, engineers have been trying to eliminate thee
products el Imperfect combustion, for all soot and carbon
formation represent lost heat or wast. PREWAY Is th
first to attain such efficiency by developing a feature
that controls the generating temperature of th fuel olL
By using controlled generation w have eliminated ail
