Fence Along Highway
Grants Pass The state high

24, through which the highway
travels.

about June 27 Mrs. Moore or
her agent "wrongfully entered
upon the property and destroyed
approximately 182 feet of the

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Edison Marshall Back From Visit to Alaska
Portland Novelist Edison
Marshall, former Medford resi
dent, stopped in Portland this
week en route to his home in
Augusta, Ga., after spending a
period in Alaska doing research
for his next novel.
Alaska was the setting of
Marshall's early novels.
In an interview with the Ore
gon Journal, Marshall observed
that "Alaska is of enormous im
portance to the United States be
cause it is one of the last breed
ing grounds of individualists."
"I perceived this individuality
of Alaskan people when I was
young, and I have found that
this spirit is still true of that
vast area. There is no pattern
or type there and every man is
an individual," he told the Jour
nal reporters.
"The sourdoughs have taken
over the cheechakos, or new
comers, instead of the other way
around, as might have happened.
I find that this spirit of indi'
viduality is quite true of the
entire Northwest."
Need of Industry
The novelist said his Alaska
visit proved to him that the
territory is "in desperate need
of industry."
Texas had a marketed output
of 5,133 billion cubic feet of
natural gas, valued at $436,300,
000 in 1956.
"My 'left hand' mission there
was to look at timber holdings
relative to the Georgia-Pacific
Plywood corporation," Marshall
said. The author has a financial
interest in the Portland firm.
"Timber can continue as a tre
mendous wealth if it is intelli
gently handled, and will not be
diminished as the other wealths
such as gold, fish and fur," he
said.
Marshall told the paper he
considers "The Viking" his best
novel. It is currently being made
into a motion picture and will
star Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borg
nine, Tony Curtis and Janet
Leigh.
Among his novels are "Benja
min Blacke," "Yankee Pasha"
and the "The Far Call." "The
Voice of the Pack," has south
ern Oregon as its setting.
