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.

Hollywood
Editor's note: This is the
second , of three dispatches
on show business teams -,
and why there are so few
of thtm any more.
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. There were William Pow

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

Growth of Trucking Industry
Decla red To H inge on Mergers
By ELMER C. 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.
B a ch e &
Co. draws this'
conclusion in
a study of the
trucking in
dustry, it says
the trucking
industry is the
largest n o n-

employer of labor with more
than seven million employed
dirrectly and thousands more
indirectly in truck building,
tires, and services.
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,

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.

foxes curl up and wrap their

Begged by Studio

"They offered me : every

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.

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.

. Some partners, on the other
hand, loved their parts. 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,

Lionel Barrymore and Bela

at the age of 72, the Hungarian-born
actor was com

request as a narcotics addict.
"I don't have a dime left,"
he said at the time. "I am anx
