MAIL TRIBUNt. M4M. Or. Tuesday, July 7, 1959 College Teacher Prints Old Letter It may have taken 100 -ears, . but Oregonians have Misproved the pronouncement of one John Boardman as he ,was quoted by the New York weekly Tribune of Feb. 1 1845. i In relation to Oregon boardman wrote, "This coun try is not capable of half as large a settlement as people reDresent: there is much tim ber, and it cannot be cleared in many years so as to be ca cable of any great production anH . . . what prairie there is will not produce as much as vour land. Boardman was writing "some anti - Oreeon propaganda or apparently showing Greely that "Go West, young man" did not apply to the North west.' The letter hi its . entirety was reprinted in an article ap pearing in the current issue of The Pacific Historian and submitted for publication by Dr. Arthur S. Taylor, chair man of the Southern Oregon college social science division, Ashland. Boardman also wrote, "The country on the Columbia is only fit for grazing." He con cluded by stating. "Neither do many think the soil will last long, but that it is rather shal low . . . besides the winters are so wet, 'tis impossible to do much out of doors." Oregonians who have lived richly from the soil, timber, and "impossible" rain for these 100 years would prob ably have much to say to Boardman should they meet him passing through a rolling field of grain, a lush pasture, an orchard, or encounter him on the densely wooded banks of some salmon-filled stream during this Centennial Year. Queen Ends Short Visit To Chicago Chicago-OT-A radiant but tired Queen Elizabeth ended a one-day, whirlwind love af fair with Chicago today , and headed back to Canada. .

By DICK OU BROW UPI Correspondent Hollywood (UPD - while still creating individual stars, Hol lywood has been unable, m recent years to find a single movie team to match its great box-office partners of the past. . Nowhere in sight are teams to compare with such past partners as Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire, the Andy Hardy Family, Jeanette Mac- Donald and Nelson Eddy, or Laurel and Hardy. Why is this? Many film of ficials sorrowfully admit the movie industry itself killed off the chance to develop new top money-making teams by taking three steps: -First, releasing stars from contracts to save money in the faces of taxes and tele vision. The stars immediately upped their price and refused to make as many pictures as they used to. And the secret of a team's success was being seen together often on the screen. Movies Sold To TV Second, basing the future ,of the . once . great teams to TV. This last step was the most bitter pill of all - for some moviemakers to swallow. It meant-that TV could careless ly lure audiences from movie theaters with the very teams that gave the picture business its golden era. "There was a time," said producer Jerry Wald, "when studios were fearful of break ing up teams." A mere listing of some of the partners indicates the vast audience appeal they once had.

Puzzle for Gunnar: Letter Published In Record By ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington. - Maybe Re publican State Chairman Pet er M. Gunnar can figure this one out. In the appendix of the Con- p gressional Re- - cord the other day there ap r peared a brief t; item under the title, "Per- ' ' sonal R e 1 a- ) tions Between Oregon Sena tors." Gunnar has .been go- A.ftobt. smith uig about tne state recently saying the per sonal ' relations between the Democratic senators is really very chummy, that their feud is all a phony designed to win the sympathy for Sen. Richard L. Neuberger from Republi cans who dislike Sen. Wayne Morse with a passion. The item consisted solely of a letter published in the Bend Bulletin written to that newspaper by Neuberger. The heart of it went like this: "Let me assure you defin itetly that I have no intention whatsoever of becoming trap ped in a name-calling contest with Senator Morse. I could riot possibly match his invec tive. Furthermore, such a spectacle could only bring dis repute to our state in general. Public Able To Appraise "It is my opinion that Sena tor Morse has now denounced and abused so many different people in .unbridled terms, that the general public is quite able to appraise accurately his latest onslaught against me. "After having suffered the kind of serious illness I have undergone,- I think one gains a perspective on political feud ing which reduces it to proper proportions and those pro portions are very small and unimportant indeed." - ' The senator who placed this letter in the Congressional Re cord was not Neuberger. In d e e d, Neuberger probably could not have put it in the Record without violating a 2 V L2LJ Unable to ell and Myrna Loy in "The Thin Man" series; Boris Kar loff and Bela Lugosi as Frank enstein's monster and Dracu la; Peter Lorre and Sydney Greens treet in mystery-Comedies; the Marx Brothers; Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and Bud Abbott and Lou Cos tello.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (UPD-The nation's trucking industry has grown to three times its size in 1935 and one of these days there'll be more of the firms listed on the big exchanges.

One of Fastest Growing The study includes details Appendix Senate rule which forbids one senator from saying nasty things about another senator. On the other hand, the Sena tor might agree that Morse is matchless in the use of invec tives and abusive language.. Morse Offered Letter The senator who put the Neuberger letter before the Senate, saying "I am sure the letter will be of interest to the Senate' was, of course, Wayne Morse. Why? Who knows, except possibly "Doctor" Gunnar, latest analyst of .this curious relationship. The Gunnar theory that Morse is only kicking Neu berger in order to help him get elected. is not so strange or foreign to politics, however wrong it is in this instance. There is a standing joke in the clubby United States Sen ate that one senator is always at the service of another sen ator at campaign time, with one telling the other "I'm at your service. I'll come into your state - and speak for you or against you, whichever you thing will help you the most." ,- ' Whether this legendary pledge has ever been fulfilled is hard to 'say.

Some partners broke up be cause they simply wearied of reworking the same vehicle. The Marx Brothers were such a case. When they split in 1949, Groucho said: "We're sick of the movies, and the people are about to get sick of us. Our stuff is growing stale, and so are we. Anyway, on ten of the c&mpanies which Bache regards as representa tive of the industry. Eight dt them are . traded over the counter, one on the New York Stock Exchange and one on the American Stock Ex change. ' - Bache rates the industry as one of th'e fastest growing in the nation. To date, the ex pansion has been internal with earnings plowed back; some little debt financing and little equity financing. While there are few large ones, most truck firms are essentially small operators. The era of the small operat or is coming to a close, the study indicates. Unprofitable To Be Small "These small operators," says the study, "will find it increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to operate profit ably and take advantage of traffic potentialities of their routes and service areas. "A company cannot operate profitably without modern equipment, as well as mech anization of terminal facili ties and accounting proced ures, all of which are ex pensive." Bache believes the future will see large companies dom inate the . trucking field. It predicts increasing mergers and consolidations among the smaller operators until all of them are absorbed. This move is expected to lead to increased equity fi nancing by. the corporations as they seek edditional funds. Thus the number of compa nies with the public stock participation will grow and those who already have some degree of public particapation will seek listings on recog nized exchanges and increase the shares in the hands of the public both through stock splits and new financing. Larger companies are ex pected to take advantage of technological improvements, If You're Tossing in Your Sleep, Consider Some Animals . How would you like the prospect of sitting up, night and day, year in and year out, for the rest of your life? Sounds terrible; but all the perching birds have to, they know no other way of resting. But before we feel too sorry for them we must consider some of the mammals of the sea; these really do have it tough. Mother Nature really put the "bee" on the porpoise, the sea-cow and the whale. These animals never can sleep for over a few minutes at a. time. All their lives they must keep coming to the sur face of the sea to get a breath of air. In between times they never can they - relax com-, never can they relaxe com pletely. Strange as it seems, these warm blooded animals who are born under water, would drown as easily as a man if as much as a half a cup of water entered the lungs. . Must Keep Moving Even the shark has trouble sleeping. He must keep mov ing slowly to keep the fresh water in contact with his gill slits; he could die for lack of oxygen if he stood still too long. Squirrels, raccoons and foxes curl up and wrap their tails around themselves. The R0BS0C3 IVY or SUMAC (IVY-DRY) I This scientific tannic acid treatment it gentle and SAFE for children and adults.

Begged by Studio Groucho went on to huge success as a TV performer be cause, as he put it, "the put lie must be drunk." Harpo and Chico work when they feel like it. Percy Kilbride got so tired of playing Pa Kettle this his studio which was making a mint out of the series, virtual ly" had to beg him to stay on. "They offered me : every thing," he said. "But I didn't want to be a wage slave. So they said they'd send me a Cadillac around every morn ing. If I got tired, I could quit any hour.' If I didn't want to come to work at all, I didn't have to - and didn't even thus reducing costs and in creasing profit margins. Only Solution Bache notes that the indus try, already cognizant of the importance of coordination, strongly believes that coordin ation between the trucking in dustry and the railroads is the only solution to the coun try's transportation problem. "After witnessing some hes itation while the phenomenal growth factors were being di gested," the Bache study notes "the trucking industry is again ready to accelerate its growth pattern. "Widening public interest in the equities of this growth industry should result in a progressively more liberal capitalization of earnings and earnings prospects." Truckers Have Advantage Incidentally, if the truck ers wished, they could give the railroads a real run for their, money. Trucking . com panies don't have the giant debt load 'the railroads are carrying. , They can get into spots the railroads cannot reach.' They don't have to buy land for rights of ways. The nation's improved highways make their business grow and they also are helped by technologi cal improvements and mass production methods in capital goods industries, free recipro city among the states, greater weight and size limitations, and the accelerated pace at which industry has been de centralizating since W o r Id War II. These factors, coupled with our rapidly increasing popu lation and the mass exodus in to the suburbs have made the trucking industry a most vital factor in our economy, the Bache study says. ' "There is every indication that the pace has not slack ened but that it will gather even greater momentum in the next decade," it adds. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins opossum just curls up, period. Many animals, such as the rabbit, pull themselves togeth er and sit in a compact ball. When the weather is cold dogs curl up too. The elephant stands up to sleep; probably it's easier than to lie down and then have to lift himself back up again. ' Rested by Standing Many horses never lie down to sleep; they seem to become thoroughly rested by stand ing. They have clever little locking devices in their joints so that they can go to sleep and never have to worry about slumping down in their sleep. Cattle, on the other hand, al ways rest, or sleep lying down. Nearly all the insects go to sleep at intervals. Even the busy ant takes frequent naps. Members of the duck family usually sleep on the ground or on the surface of water; they sleep in a flat, squatting position. To really enjoy their naps they put their head un der' a wing; they seem to en joy "sleeping in a darkened room." But if ever you're troubled with insomnia think for a moment about the little mam mal we call the bat. This un fortunate little animal has to sleep upside down, hanging by his toes.

Such a one was the late Lewis Stone who played Mickey Rooney's father in the Andy mray series. r "I work 12 weeks a year, get a whopping big salary all year round and have the other 40 weeks for myself," he said once. "If anybody can think of a better rut than that, I'll move over into it." Not Doing Too Well Johnny Weissmuller frank ly confesses he hasn't been doing too well since his Tar zan days. In 1958, he sued to reduce child suoDort nav- ments, -saying: "I haven't been climbing any trees lately -that's part of the trouble." But most of the old-time partners - such as Janet Gay nor and Charlie Farrell - re tired well-fixed or went on to success as solo performers. Miss Gaynor and Farrell, who pitched woo in "Seventh Heaven" and other films for seven years, both retired young. Farrel went to the desert, virtually founded the city of Palm Springs, Calif., and re cently played Gale Storm's father on TVs "My Little Margie." Miss Gaynor married designer Gilbert Adrian, set- Central Point Boy Makes Honor List John E. Foley, son of Mr. and Mrs. William M.

Severed by Death Death, of course, perma nently severed some great teams, Lou Costello, Oliver Hardy, Wallace Beery, Marie Dressier, Sydney Greenstreet, Lionel Barrymore and Bela Lugosi all are dead. Lugosi's last years were as dramatic as some of his scripts. In 1955, at the age of 72, the Hungarian-born actor was com mitted to a hospital at his own request as a narcotics addict. "I don't have a dime left," he said at the time. "I am anx ious to rehabilitate myself. I want to learn everything be fore I die. The only thing that frightens me is that the cal endar turns, and eventually you must go." Several months later, he was released from the hospital and married a 39-year-old movie cutting clerk who wrote to him as an unknown pen pal' while he was un- degoing treatment. Within the year, he died m his sleep. (Next: The TV teams.)
