EIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. Juno , 1950 Doernbecher Hospital Explains Payments Portland, Ore., June 9 (U.R) Doernbecher hospital officials emphasized today that Oregon residents do not have to stage fund raising campaigns to pay operation costs of state patients because the institution charges only what the patient can afford.

Doern becher superintendent, pointed out that this week s "blue baby" operation on five-year-old Janie Jensen of West Salem, Ore., was an example.

Manning park, a wilderness area of 181,760 acres, astride the Cana dian Cascades, with a highway running to it and through it so new that when this motorlog was made, in early May, there wasn't a service station along the whole 80-odd miles of it. The highway is new in the best sense, smoothly paved, safe, easy to drive on, spectacu larly engineered, opened only last fall. An old trapper In the park Insisted this highway was 82 years in the building. One could almost believe it, but what he meant, of course, was 92 years had passed between the time the first trail was blazed through the rugged area and the completion of the paving. It wai for the specific pur pose of traversing this new high, way that F. L. Crowe, manager, touring department of the Ore gon State Motor association, and I set out in the association's white car before breakfast one Sunday morning. The new highway joins other thoroughfares at Princeton on 'the east, Hope on the west. We elected to travel from east to west, and chose Penticton at the lower end of Lake Okanogan as the most likely place in the area to spend the night in comfort. To one wholly new in those parts it was a revelation to find that the fruit-growing belt ex tends from the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys right on Into the Okanogan valley, without iflV FLO S0W8LZ MORCROP MAKES KPTUZM &t$y THE WATER DOES THE WORK WITH FLO MORCROP Fertilize while you water the lawn-' ant mi; eft. tration!

Phono 2 4241 ' 6? f 1 4 v - I AAA trarol car on ruggodlT constructed highway In Canada a significant change except In the terrain, which gets more rugced to the north. The vistas are magiuncem as one drops down from the Okanogan valley, fruit trees on both sides of the highway and in the close background moun tains that look like mountains, steep, high, Jagged. But on to the highway. En route to Princeton we passed through Hedley, where is locat ed the huge mining property of the Kelowna Exploration com pany, which seems to be sliding rinwn the steeo mountain. The miners are half a mile, by "skip," but 14 miles by auto, from a tavern. The "skip" is a sort of cable railway up the steep mountain. The new highway begins at Princeton where the Tulameen joins the Similkameen. I men tion this because this region is almost wholly identified with Indian names, plus a sprinkling of old England The new highway follows the Similkameen almost to its source. Literally follows. I don't recall more than two In stances in 55 miles that we were out of sight of this beautiful mountain stream. Most of the time, it seemed, we were on the same grade. Just a few feet above the river. The area is forested, mostly with several varieties of pine, of which the kind we call lodgcpole was most numerous. But up from the river they give way to a more scrubby type, and there is no undergrowth. Much 01 tne re. gion is a slide area, and after watching a while it was easy to imagine those brushy pines were up there on the steep mountainside, making fertile soil out of the rock and drop ping it into the valley. The soil 15 II1UI vciuusty litu wicu watered. The Similkameen river (say that name a few times and you'll do it all day) is the kind that fairly begs one to wet a fishline in it. Near milepost 55, where the river is squeezed into a rocky gorge too narrow for tne nignway 10 Keep company, we found the first evidence of exploitation a pioneer had built a few cabins and had set up a popcorn, candy and coffee stand. We asked him about the fishing. He hesitated, then de clared that back from the high way about ten miles (you have to pack in) it's wonderful. Soon after crossing the sum mit, a 4200-foot pass, we came to a new development by the parks and recreation depart ment of the B. C. government. It's much like a forest ranger station, except that they have added a "visitors' convenience." a elonfied lodce which inside had features, like wood carv ings and wood paneling, that called Timberline lodge to mind. It had not been opened when we were there. The staff at the station were Just completing a guide to the area. We were permitted to page through the manuscript soon to be printed and discov ered the region abounds with attractions, nature formations. Indian relics, historic spots which we had wholly missed be cause we didn't know where to look. We did. however, learn the origin of what we had be lieved was an abandoned min ing camp tucked in a canyon. It had been a prisoner camp for Japanese during the war.
