Spokane Jt is a pity that vacation time for most workers
iriocni in-yui until June, for May is an ideal season for
! traveling through Oregon and Washington by car. 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. S,
