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.

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.

Within Next 25 Years
Lufkin, Tex. (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. '
