It la one of aa annual nries sponsored Jointly by the Oregon State Motor association and The Oregonlan. BY WILLIAM LAMBERT Staff Writer. The OreconlMi Southeastern Oregon, to a visitor from the verdant west ern slopes of the Cascades, looks like something lifted from the melodramatic pages of a Zanel Grey novel of the old west. It's ! a near-desert of drifting dunes bordered on the north and west by mountain forest lands. Its lowlands, a huge bowl centered in Lake and Harney counties, have no drainage connection with the sea. Most of its sparse vegetation is on grazing land, but wild meadow hay grows lushly on a few old lake beds. It is a region brutally muti lated millions of years ago by violent upheavals of the earth's crust. Rugged rocky formations, mostly fluted lava, rise from the floor of the bowl. Massive rock promontories stand where the earth's surface buckled and tilted from tremendous pres sures far below. From this upheaval developed the phenomenon of the dry lakes, one of the strange con trasts of this land which lies on the fringe of the Great Ameri can desert. Driving our Oregon State Mo tor association white car into Lake county from Klamath Falls, we followed state high way 66 through the southern fringes of the Fremont national forest, past the Quartz moun tain area where prospectors were busy staking claims in the region of Oregon's first big uranium discovery. Goose Lake Was Arid We saw our first "dry lake after we reached Lakeview, but this year it wasn't so dry. Twenty-five years ago motor loggers from The Oregon ian traveled through this same country at the height of a dry cycle, and big Goose lake south of Lakeview, which stretches many miles into California, was nearly bone dry. This year it was more than three fourths full. A huge inland sea, its broad expanse made it hard to believe it was only 10 to 15 feet in depth. itnifritwmmSlMU mtm mmtmmmmm m Abert lake, with its alkall-corered bed resting on a massive . geological fault, is typical of Lake county waters fed by snow. were brimming. But most of them were alkaline, saturated! with salts that had been leach- ing out of the hills for centuries, during wet cycles. The alkalinity of the water spoils it for irrigation, but' ranchers tap the streams of runoff water before they reach the alkaline lake beds and - S that diverted water for teir; crops. i The lakes have one big rec reational advantage. They lie' in the center o the ancient waterfowl flyway, and tliou-i sands of migrating ducks and' geese alight on them during the season. Typical of the lakes is Abert,! whose southern tip is about 25: miles north of Lakeview. The; far northern end of the bed is covered with alkali dust, form ing a white blanket several miles wide. I Jk. Lakeview 1F Mf ti Map outlines dry lake country toured on Oregonian motorlog. East of Lakeview, along the western edge of Hart mountain, lies the chain of Warner valley lakes. North of the county seat, near the center of big Lake county, are Abert and Summer lakes, both many miles in length. For nearly 30 years most of these lakes were dry or nearly so. As recently as the early 1930s, local residents reported walking on the bed of Goose lake and finding the tracks of prairie schooners made by the wagon trains of immigrants de cades ago. Then came the end of the dry cycle, and the lakes began fill ing once again. Water drained off Hart moun tain, filled up once-dry Hart lake and started filling the chain of Warper valley lakes. As fast as one filled, it overflowed and started filling the next un til finally even Bluejoint lake at the end of the chain was full. By 1953, all the region's lakes Rim Dates to Miocene On the eastern shore of the lake is Abert rim, 2500 feet above the valley floor. One of the highest fault scarps in the United States, this basalt forma tion issued from a great fissure in the earth during the Miocene period of geologic history. Then the earth's crust fractured and great blocks were tilted. Abert rim is the western end of one of those tilted blocks, and the lake lies atop another. Farther north, along U. S. highway 395, is Alkali lake,, partly fed by springs and two artesian wells. Near it is the only habitation in more than 35 desert miles Desert station. It sits on the site of an old Indian resting place, and its surround ing hills are good pickings for arrowhead hunters. Wild horses and mule deer graze in the mountains. J Albany Housing Shortage Studied Albany (U.R) A "critical" housing shortage reminiscent of wartime was under study here today as an influx of workers strained the supply of available family type homes. M. D. Woolley, president of the Albany Realty Board, said some 25 to 50 families were ex pected within two week, seeking work at the new Western Kraft paper plant and that normal growth of the community had already absorbed most rental properties. He said all realty firms in the city had been swamped with inquiries.

Riverside Phone 2-6209 tn, ' Navy Procedure Probe Requested Washington U.P.) Sen. Frederick Payne (R-Me.), wants the Senate to investigate proce dures followed by the Navy and the Maritime academy in the case of Eugene W. Landy. Landy, an honor graduate of the Kings Point, N.Y., Maritime Academy was denied a reserve commission in the Navy be cause of his mother's alleged Communist associations. Payne issued a statement yes terday proposing a study of the Kings Point admission practices by the Senate Commerce Sub committee, of which he is a member. The subcommittee is studying maritime training fac ilities. Payne said he Is reserving judgment on the case because it is being reviewed by Navy Sec retary Charles S. Thomas. "However, it certainly should be possible to protect both the academy and the Navy against any recurrence of such an un fortunate incident," he said. Payne said the alleged Com munist connections of Landy's mother should have been known when he was admitted to the academy.

(U.R) Distribu tion of milk directly into homes by a pipeline in the next 25 years is foreseen by a Texas A.&M. Coliege scientist. Dr. E. V. Moore, head of the research department of dairy manufacturing, told a Lufkin civic group that the day will come when a housewife no longer will have to go to the store to buy milk. "She could just open a spigot in her kitchen," Moore ex plained. "A meter on the pipe would determine the amount consumed and bills could be paid in the same manner as gas, elec tric or water bills." Moore said scientists have de veloped such an idea on a small experimental scale and have found it successful. He looks for it to come on a commercial basis within 25 years.
