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.

out that this week s "blue baby"
operation on five-year-old Janie

an example.
She said residents held a bene

the girl's operating costs. But

! fits for Oregon patients were
j not necessary because the state
would cover expenses mat couia

Out-of-state residents must
pay full rates at the hospital. !

If you like to go exploring. Is
comfort and without danger,
there's place up In British
Columbia beckoning.
It's called the E. C. 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

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

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."
