The Breitenbush hot spring
one of the longest-famed
localities fa Oregon recreation
and medicinal waters lore is
enhr some 11 miles from one
f the state's newest attractions
for those who like the outdoors.
This is Detroit lake, which,
with Breitenbush, was the des
tination of a recent motorlog

association and The Oregonian.
Here the fast waters of the
North Santiam and Breiten
bush rivers are quieted behind
a concrete barrier which con

For those who turn left at
the Detroit junction, the scen
ery show begins immediately.
The placid waters of the halted
river spread out to the west
of the rapidly climbing road.
Then comes the white splashing
of the swift-flowing river above
the lake. The river and the
road travel the same route, but
they change altitude at differ
ent rates. This gives the motor
ist numerous spectacular views
of the river from high up the
sides of the Breitenbush can

Breitenbush resort is built
on 160 acres of privately owned
land which the proprietors say
was homesteaded before the na
tional forest was established.
It gets its name, so the story
goes, from one Peter Breiten
bush, who discovered the min
eral springs that abound here.
It was operated for 30 years by
M. D. Bruckman, who now
lives in Salem after selling the
place to its present operators.
The whole resort area is in
two divisions, about a quarter
of a mile apart as the stream
flows.
Downstream is Breitenbush
hot springs, primarily a health
resort. It has a lodge with five
rooms and 32 individual cabins.
The larger installation up
stream has a lodge with 32
rooms and 64 individual cabins,
of which about half are fur
nished. There Is a grocery store at
each place, and a cafe at the
smaller establishment.
The larger establishment has
a swimming pool measuring 4 Ox

degrees. The pool Is an impor

mineral springs and the showers

Mineral Springs Named
Breitenbush is a health resort
This has probably frightened
away a lot of healthy people
who would thrill at fishing in
Breitenbush river or the several
mountain lakes easily reached
from the resort area; or in
riding horses from a nearby
stable over innumerable moun
tain trails; or in hiking, taking
pictures, or generally enjoying
a particularly attractive piece
of the big outdoors.
But for those who care
there are 64 mineral springs
here, with temperatures rang
ing from 125 to 200 degrees.
Some of them bear names such
as "Arsenic spring," "Salt
spring, "Iron spring ana
"Soda spring. The hst of
chemicals they boast looks like
an extract from U. S. pharmacopeia.
The waters of the Breiten
bush river are probably only
mildly medicinal, but there is a
lot of curative power for fish

mission along three mites of
the river early in July.

City Commissioner William
Al Ullman Attacks Al Sarena Patents
- Pendleton (U.R) Al Ullman,
Democratic candidate for Con

attacked the Al Serena mining
patents in southern Oregon in a
talk here yesterday as he
claimed the Eisenhower admin
istration has undertaken a "give
away" program.
He charged that the mining as
pects of the company ". . . cover
up lumber operations worth
S350.OOO and given away for
S2,207.'.'
Bowes offered to help clear up
the situation and untangle some
of the red tape so that work
could start today.
Ullman said that patents had
been refused under the Truman
administration but granted under
the current administration.
He said that a Republican
member of the House Interior
Committee had testified that
union wages to work the prop
erty would require ore assaying
S9 a ton and that to make a
profit the ore would have to
assay S20. He said the assays in
dicated value of only $2 a ton.
