It is one of an annual series of travel stories sponsored jointly by tbe Oregon State Motor as sociation and Tbe Oregonlan. BY HERBERT L. LARSON Staff Writer. Tlx Ore&oni&n U. S. highway 97, which cuts through Oregon from The Dalles on the north to Klamath Falls on the south, has been dubbed by one travel expert as the road with 97 varieties of vacation fun. We found that out on a recent Oregon State Motor association motorlog down the length of the artery. We also discovered that if you want to enjoy 97 varieties plus of vacation enjoyment you should include the triangle side trip from Lapine to Lakeview and back to Klamath Falls, via highways 31 and 66. We came into Lakeview (4800 feet above sea level and 14 miles from the California border). We came into Lakeview after an overnight stop at East lake and a visit to Paulina lake. A left turn off 97 was made sev eral miles south of Lapine onto highway 31. Keep in mind 31. This is one of the prettiest and non-commercial paved drives of about 150 miles that we ever enjoyed. Traffic is light and about all you have to worry about on the road are deer, cat tle and a few horses crossing or visiting on the forest-bordered boulevard. Highway 31 becomes 395 a short spell north of Lakeview. We were told that this is a fast route from Portland to Reno, Los Angeles and San Diego via The Dalles, Bend, Lakeview and Alturas. This we believe. . Lakes Come Back About midway between La pine and Lakeview on 31 is a small community called Sliver Lake. A few miles south and east is Silver lake itself, skirt ed by the highway. And therein lies an interesting story about the lakes of this region. In Lakeview we learned from Zane Gray (county clerk of Lakec ounty and no relation to the novelist) that .. years ago there was plenty of water in the lakes thereabouts. Homestead- LAPINE V l2 f LAKE I -9 SILVER LAKE y SUMMER (66) . J" TSL HARTMTfl. T LAKEVIEW Map shows lakep area of Lake county in relation to Lake view, Lapine, Klamath Falls. iMmm&mwmm&l&T.y Abert rim is a long earthquake fault of sheer rock, lying along highway 895 north of Lakeview. Rim rises 2500 feet from the valley floor. Abert lake is north of this viewpoint. ers came and prospered. The town of Silver Lake was then a busy place. In the early 1930s Silver lake and adjacent Sum mer lake dried up and stayed years ago, when water started to return. - On this trip we found Silver lake doing well. So much water has returned to the lake bed that the highway grade was raised some eight feeti n one stretch to keep ears on dry land. The work was still in progress as we passed. Why has the water returned? Be cause of heavy rains and run off according to the explana tion given us. Skirting the eastern boundary of Fremont national forest, Summer lake comes into View shortly after you leave Silver. Here again is a goodly body of water which the highway borders for nearly ten miles. In Lake county geological remnants of thei ce age can be found close to thel atest lava flows. Of great geological -interest is Abert rim along the east side of Abert lake. Here is the largest exposed geological faulti n North America. It rises 2000 feet above the lake-shore. Young Julian Herndon Jr., Lake county district attorney, took time out to tell us of the vast primitive country around Lakeview where streams and lakes offer excellent fishing and the hills and valleys abound with game. Lookout Point Visited With Herndon at the wheel of his car we climbed along a winding private logging road to them ost spectacular lookout point experienced on the entire trip. Atop Black Cap rim, 7500 feet above Lakeview, Warner valley is a checkerboard with its ranches, farms, lakes and mountain backgrounds. From this perch one can see Goose lake and the California border 14 miles to the south. The northern tip of this size able body of water liesi n Ore gon. There are other easily ac cessible viewpoints, too, near Lakeview. Boundaries of Lake county surround more than scenery, hunting and fishing areas. For ests support four sawmills, two box factories, two planing mills and a moulding plant Most of the timber is now being cut on a sustained yield basis. The re gion is rich in mineral deposits and uranium deposit is being worked. Just north of town on 395 at Hunters lodge and hot springs is what we were told is the only continuous spouting geyser in America. It shoots wa'er of 200 degrees heat 60 feet in the air. Homes and buildings nearby are heated from this source- Area's Hunting Good - For winter sports there is the Warner vailey ski area ten miles from the city center with its 1600-foot electrically-operated ski tow. In the hunting department we learned more than 10,000 mule deer are harvested each year- and some 35,000 water fowl. . The folks down that way are mighty hospitable. They know their country is big, varied and a wonderful area for ruture de ve'opments and opportunities, It is a great outdoor country and even during a snort visit you get thef eel that nere is the real west, strong, congeaai ar.d rowing. Rains Cause Flash Floods in Turkey Ankara, Turkey (IPI Relief organizations rushed aid today i to the flood-stricken central plains of Turkey where more ' than 300 persons were feared drowned and thousands left j homeless. j Fragmentary reports reaching ! Ankara said at least four towns were hard hit by flash floods triggered in the Anatolian Plains by a week of heavy rains. The floods cut communica tions, severed rail and road links between Ankara and Istanbul and isolated many provincial towns. Police officials said the lack of communications hampered efforts to get an accurate picture of the extent of the flood dam age. However, they said more than 3,000 homes were known to have been swept away by the floods. According to the reports, 10-foot-deep flood waters swept through the streets of villages, overturning automobiles and trucks and collapsing houses. One of the hardest hit towns was Demirlibahche, where thou sands of survivors were reported huddling on rooftops awaiting rescue. Truck Speed Limit Set On Mf. Shasta Hili Dunsmuir Shasta Springs grade on Highway 99, north of Dunsmuir, now has a truck down-hill speed limit of 20 miles an hour, according to the Cali fornia department of public works. The grade is one of several effected by a recently inacted law in an "effort to reduce run-a-way trucks on Ions downhill roads. The normal state-wide truck speed limit is 45 miles per hour. Ike Urged To Veto Pan American Slops Washington (IP) Sen. Ed ward J. Thye (R-Minn.), urged President Eisenhower Wednes day not to approve authority for Pan American Airlines to fly the northern Great Circle route from Portland and Seattle to Tokyo. He said that a decision giving Pan American the new route would be "most detrimental" to Northwest Airlines, its major competitor in commercial flights to the Far East. The President recently direct ed the. Civil Aeronautics Board to reopen consideration of Pan American's request to carry pas sengers and mail between the two Northwest cities and Tokyo. Two Accidents Are Reported to Police Two accidents on county high ways were investigated by state police yesterday.

Plug Up Holes, Judge Tells Man Chicago OPl Richard Higgins, 31, believes a man's home however well-ventilated is his castle. His estranged wife, Virginia, 26, felt differently." At least she didn't think much of his practice of boring holes in the walls of their home to spy on her. Higgins' "espionage" activities were described to Superior Court Judge Elmer N. Holmgren Wednesday by Mrs. Higgins' at torney, William Marosco. Higgins followed his wife whenever she left the house, made peepholes in the walls of their house to peer at her, and bored a hole in a first floor ceil ing to look down on her, Ma rosco charged. The hearing ended with Hig gins agreeing to plug up the holes and to give up his "cloak and dagger" activities. He will also have to pay his wife $36 weekly support until her suit for divorce charging cruelty is decided. NAPS IN FIELD Ames, Iowa HP) Jay Buck man, 4, and his two dogs wan dered away from their home, and 100 anxious residents launched a widespread search in the rain. He and the dogs were found in a field Wednesday about two miles from home six hours after the search started. Jay's mother asked him if he was tired. "Nope," Jay said, "I took a nap in a cornfield." Freighter's Helm Declared Defective Coos Bay Ofl S. A. Axelson, the Coos Bay pilot who was aboard the Norwegian Freighter Thorshall when it collided with the Army dredge Rossell with a loss of three lives here Tuesday said today the freighter's helm was defective. Axelson said the ship fajled to answer her helm and coasted into the dredge, sinking the smaller vessel almost immed iately. The government seeks damages of 52,500,000 in a suit filed in admiralty court in San Francisco. The pilot said that as soon as it was apparent a collision could not be avoided the freighter's engines were put into full re verse. The captain of the Thor shall said one lifeboat was put into the water to pick up Rossell survivors but that it took time to turn the vessel in the narrow channel between Coos bay and the sea.
