New AMA President
Urges Science Mixed
With Friendly Touch
Chicago U.R .A country
physician newly chosen as presi
dent ol the American Medical
Association Tuesday night urged
doctors to mix "modern scien
tific methods with the personal
friendly touch ot the old-time
family doctor."
Dr. Dwight Murray, 68,
Napa, Calif., warned in his in
augural address at the AMA s
105th annual meeting that the
abundant knowledge and skills
of doctors is "no substitute for
kindness and understanding."
He said doctors must work
with the public to preserve the
"human side of medicine." Phy
sicians should try to devote
more time and personal interest
to each' patient, he suggested.
"Above all, be friendly, pa
tient and sympathetic," he ad
vised. Turning his attention to the
patient's role, Murray said the
public should remember that -no

doctor is a "miracle man.'
"All the advancements of
science can't make a sick man
well unless he tries to cooper
ate with his physician," he said.
"So choose your doctor care
fully, have faith' in his ability,
follow his instructions and give
him a fair chance to show that
he can help you."
Murray, a general practitioner
in California for more than 35
years, still drives 30 miles to
see a patient.
He was born on a farm in Law
rence county, Ind., and
launched his education in a one
room country school. He worked
his way through college on a va
riety of part-time jobs. Two
months before his scheduled
graduation from the Indiana
University School of Medicine,
in 1917, Murray began his medi
cal career by joining the Navy.

BY VERA F. CrUTESER
ameul Witter. The Orcsaojia
A run up the Yaquina, that
arm of the sea that twists and
turns its way for miles into the
Coast range east of Newport, is
a vivid and nostalgic cross-section
of the Oregon scene.
You can leave the car behind
in this ease, the white motor
log sedan of the Oregon State
Motor association at Newport
or Toledo after an easy drive
(it is 116 miles from Portland
to Newport via the Salmon
river cutoff) and transfer to a
boat for a leisurely cruise up
' the river. Boats can be rented
both at Newport and Toledo.
This is lumbering country;
the great C D. Jchhson mill at
Toledo is one of the largest
spruce mills in the world. Their
huge barges,' loaded with lum
ber to be sent on ships to all
parts of the . world, make a
stately procession behind power
ful little tugs on their way down
to Newport.
Mills Work BnsHy
Shingle mills and sawmills,
cutting short-length boards,
work busily along the Yaquina
almost as' far inland as Elk
City, about 20 miles up from
the coast.
The Yaquina. a wide bay fa
side the bar, gradually narrows
as you go upstream. On the
right bank, a graveled road
leads part way to the-ocean,
but on the left, the road runs
out to U. S. highway 101 at
- Newport.
On the left, above Toledo, a
spur of the Southern Pacific
railroad crosses the mountains
from Corvallis and hauls logs
to the mills and chip waste from
the mills to be converted into
paper in Oregon City. This
waste was formerly sawed into
slabwood and sold to families
for burning.
Train passenger service was
discontinued years ago. The few
Wlthm environ ef Elk City, quiet hamlet on the laqntaa, are

NEWPORT,

Yaquina are located on map.
farm families who still live
farther inland along the left
bank of the river above Toledo
must cross by boat to reach
the road. Most of the farmhouse
windows have A vacant stare,
and they are mossgrown and
saggy, , while the old orchard
trees grow gray with lichens
and plead to be pruned.
Many ghostly pilings, stand
ing singly or in groups lashed
together by rusting cables, give
evidence of past activity along
the waterside. Below the banks
are floating logs, some fastened
together with steel straps, some
almost submerged, basking in
the sun like lazy hippos. '
It took over an hour to travel
from Toledo to the small dock
a - Elk City, which was built at
Toledo and towed upstream to
replace the old one when Elk
City was a port of call for the
steamboats on the river. Elk
City, according to Paul Hanson,
storekeeper, postmaster "and
general factotum, is only three
miles across the mountains, as
the bees fly, from Toledo, but
by the curving river it is nine..
In this isolated country, the
small cluster of buildings is
town to the 70 inhabitants, and
the grange is the center of so
cial life. ' -'
Since passengers are not car
ried on the trains any more, the
covered bridge across to the -"
railroad is used only by log
trucks, and the county road
ends at the bridge. Another
covered bridge is a short dis
tance upstream, on the road to
Corvallis. On the hillside be
yond are scars of the old quarry
where the rocks for the jetty
at Newport were blasted out
and sent down river by barge.
Hopes Held High
Time was when this section
of the country had high hopes
for future development. Two' ,
and a half miles farther into
the mountains, a place called
Pioneer was platted. A large
house was built to serve as & ' "
hotel, and the steamboats came
regularly upriver.
Elk City was quite a place
then, boasting boat service and
a daily train both ways that
ran all the way down to Ya-V
quina, about half way between
Toledo and Newport. Yaquina
is more ghostlike now than Elk
City.
The steamboats were discon
tinued at the beginning ef
World War H. As. the logs
were removed from the moun
tains, the people moved on to
greener prospects. In time na
ture will heal the scars and
cover them with new growth.
Perhaps some spring ' the
clean high water from the
winter snows will carry the
cluttering drift, which works
farther upstream with every
summer tide, down to the ocean
and leave the Yaquina as clean
and clear as it was when the
first men roamed its forests and
paddled their canoes over the
reflected skyline on its bosom.
