The j weather is pleasantly warm without being hot, the country I side is clothed in a hundred shades of lush new green and ; m places the roadsides are splashed with the wildflower colors. The last two days were especially interesting for this I vacation-bound reporter, for we saw a pari of Oregon com pletely new to us. Northeastern Oregon has so much to oiler Iroin the standpoint of scenery, recreation and history mat wc can't understand wiiy more southern Ore gonians don't travel there, and why it isn't "boosted'' more, j The two of us, after leaving the familiar Crater Lake and ! fiend -Redmond country, which is famous for its scenic beauty and interesting topography, turned the Doll up through ; the Ochoco mountains where the highway winds through pleaanl pine forests. By early afternoon we were out in the open country again and headed in the direction of the Wallowa moun tains a truly gorgeous mountain range which many south 1 ern Oregonians scarcely know exists. Near Mitchell in ! Wheeler county we stopped to read a historical marker !hef.e take a liltle extra time but are useful to the traveler interested in local history -about H. H. Wheeler, for whom J the county was named. He was the first president of the i East Oregon Pioneer association and an early-day U.S. mail carrier from The Dalles to Canyon City. The marker is 1 near the spot where Wheeler was attacked by Indians, the mail looted and the coach destroyed in 1866 i The John Day country is noted for its fine eattle, but this reporter is going to remember it for dandelions, bugs and red-winged blackbirds. Never before have we seen so many dandelions pastures and fields at this time of the year 'are one solid mass of yellow dandelions. The bugs were; alo new to the two of us -clouds of winged creatures rather! like Hying ants lhal left unpleasant blobs of green stuff on the car which looked like grease and was much harder to remove. The black birds were also as numerous as the bugs, but much more pleasant as traveling companions. By six o'clock we were in Baker, where we had dinner and settled down for the night. We know nothing about Hie climate or economy of Baker, but they do have mar j velous mountain scenery the Elkhorn range on one side and I Ihe Wallowas on the other. When we exclaimed over the j view, the kind motel owner gave us a suite with windows i which looked out on the Elkhorns and we watched the chang j ing colors as the sun faded. For the last hour of traveling before we reached Baker we noticed lhat more than half the cars we met or passed j were pulling boats. This section of the state has a series : of in itiation reservoirs which provide excellent fishing and boating and the populace apparently takes full advantage of these sports. The pheasant hunting in the John Day area is said lo be particularly good and for the first lime we saw road side signs which picture flying pheasants and , the warning "prevent road kills." The next morning a service station attendant recom mended the Colonial Hut in La Grande for breakfast, and he was right-the coffee was excellent and our Hawaiian pancakes, made with cocoanut and pineapple, were delicious. Pappy had buckwheat cakes and said they were almost as good as his own, which is quite an admission. Before leav ing the Hut we called Don Hobinson, former Tribune re porter now working for the La Grande Observer. By the time we had finished breakfast and were putting the top down on The Doll, Don had hustled over and we had a quick chat. Some other traveler might not have found it so, but we enjoyed every moment of the drive from La Grande to Spokane. You can't hurry very much, for the highway goes up and clown in canyons so steep that the engineers have not been able to do away with hairpin turns and steep grades. But Monday we were in no particular hurry and the scenery was sheer delight. The rippling hills look as if they were made of heavy green velvet and many of the canyon walls are covered with millions-and this is no ex aggeration of yellow sunflower daisies. So thickly do they bloom in some spots that the hills literally are sheets of yellow. The first such sight greeted us when we drove down the Miriam river canyon. Inter-mingled with the big clumps ot daisies are .spikes of blue larkspur and lupine. Climbing back up into the high country brought the Wallowas into view again, and in Enterprise, they are so close that the fields of snow are practically in the back yards of the houses. Pappy, who has read much western and Indian history, lias always been particularly interested in the two Chiefs JoM-ph, so we turned off al Enterprise in order that we might drive to Joseph, visit the monument and see Wallowa lake and slate park. We found the monument, and it is in a scandalous state of disrepair. The crowning insult was the empty beer bottle which some weak-brained person had placed on top of the graceful marker near the grave site. The marker, erected lo the memory of Old Chief Joseph, who was born in 1 783, notes lhat his Nez Perce name was "Twaeet Tu-Eka-Kas" and that he was baptized and given the name of Joseph by the missionary. Dr. Spalding. A roadside marker which we read earlier had noted fads concerning Young Chief Joseph, his historic 1.000 mile retreat in the Nez Perce war, his dignified surrender and his words "from where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." The marker stales that Young Chief Joseph, with ;il0 warriors, won most of his battles against the su perior U S. forces and reads: "Keeling lhat promises made ;il his surrender were broken. Chief Joseph devoted his life in vain pleading with the United States government." Pappy added the comment that many objective western historians have agreed with the famous Indian Chief and when we saw the sad state of the monument plot, we were depressed and reminded that the United States has little to be proud of when it comes to the treatment of the men whom we drove from land which they believed rightfully belonged lo them. On a warm May morning, driving through the pretty valleys which Chief Joseph and his peo ple had loved, we decided it was no wonder that he went to war to keep the laud. One cannot be depressed when viewing the Joseph can on al a spot on Highway 3 en route to Lewislon. Joseph canyon is ast. magnificent a truly noble spot. The whites treated the Josephs and their people shabbily, but some of the west's spots of grandeur bear their name. One incident at this view point annoyed us a bit. Two women and a man had climbed down the steep hill and were calmly digging wildflowers. They did not know the names of the flowers, had no notion of how lo properly dig such a plant if it is to live, and one woman admitted "I don't know why I'm doing this 1 don't have any place to put them in my garden!" We forced back a tart reply. The man volunteered the information that the river to be seen thousands of feet below was the Grande Ronde. "It isn't any such a thing." muttered Pappy under his breath. "It's the Joseph." A look at the map said Pappy was right. The two of us confined our wildflower activity to pic ture taking. In spots there were masses of the lilies which are like Jackson county's beloved iamb tongues, except that they are yellow. We also found and photographed some liltle bell-shaped butter yellow flowers, and some mi crnseopic flowers with clusters of bright blue trumpet shaped hlo.vsoms. These we hope to be able to identify lien we reach home. The day had its moment of nostalgia, too. Wc drove p.ot the Lewis and Clark hotel in Lewiston where the two of us had stayed as bride and bridegroom, wheeled the Doll up the pectacular LewuUm grade and sped across the roll ing Palnuse country to Pullman. The first automobile ride the two of us ever took together was through the Palouse hills on a warm summer night. The highway is broader and smoother now, and the car very different in those days Pappy iiroc a student's version of a Model T Ford. But the tiincles lulls looked the same and it was wonderful to omc through them ;jgtun-the same hilis and the Mine companion. O.
