' While in Washington last week, Potpourri carried out
mlnlnn.rnr Merifnrri's Mrs O. A. Eden. Edith. Hardener
extraordinary, not only gardens at home but on a city-wide
scale. Mrs. Eden, by various and sundry means has been
largely responsible for the city's progress on the coordinated
tree planting program, and lor the "garden of Eden" along
Main street.
Edith Is always hunting for new ideas about city beauti-
flcation, and when we attempted to describe the interesting
and artistic huildlnff and olantines of the new Lentrdlia
Branch, Seattle First National branch, she Immediately
perKea up ner ears ana saia get me some pictures, since
like most other people, we eventually end up doing what
she asks well, most of the time, anyway we inter
viewed a couple of men in Centralia and now nave tne
first set. of pictures for Edith and her committee. .
John Edinger, managing editor of the Centralia Chronicle
(where Potpourri once worked as a reporter and society
writer) was interested and cooperative and two pictures the
paper's photographer took, preceded us home. Potpourri
and Sister Peg also talked to Frank Watson, manager of the
branch, who showed us around the building and driveways
and who also said he might provide some pictures if any
one in Medford was interested.
The new building, parking lot and plantings, in the
nature of an urban re-development project, are extremely
attractive. The bank structure is unique in that the ex
terior is of white stones called Northport marble, or "sugar
stone" since in a way it looks more like hit-and-miss sized
sugar lumps, rather than traditional marble. The building
stands on one corner of an ell-shaped lot; it has both street
and parking lot entrances, and these entrances are arranged
with' artistic -plantings. '
The lot, of course, is paved, and has plantings near the
auto entrance. Opposite this entrance and on Tower avenue,
the city's main street, ' is a pedestrian entrance. This has
large planters, covered in a pagoda-like fashion, and two
stone and concrete benches turned towards the street. In
May when we were in Centralia the planters were filled
with scarlet, tulips blooming among evergreens; later the
tulips were replaced with red geraniums and other sum
mer annuals. A walk-way along one side of the enclosure
is covered, and the starkness of the wall of the building
located adjacent has been softened with strips of rippled
plastic in pleasing shades.
Mr. Watson explained that the architect who designed
the building Incorporated into the plans specifications for
the landscaping and said the reaction from clients and
visitors has been highly complimentary. Mr. Watson is par
ticularly pleased with the planting of an area on the en
closure side of the building with flowers and shrubbery
and two or three slender birch trees which give an especially
graceful effect.
Centralians agree with him that the project has done
a great deal to make that part of the city much more attractive.
Pappy and Potpourri have decided it might ' be great
fun to be part of an archeological expedition. On vacations,
particularly In Central Oregon, we re always poking around
in the sand and along lake shores and on the slopes and
river banks on the look-out for arrow heads or any inter
esting relics. - - -
While on Hart mountain last week we visisted the site
01 oia Lamp narner, wnica was an Army post in xood-d.
According to a historical marker located in the area, it was
"commanded by Gen. George. Cook, 23rd Infantry, U. S.
Army, and used as a base of operations in an area inhabited
by the stalwart Indians of the Snake, Pit River, Modoc,
Klamath and Shoshone tribes." -

the exact spot of the camp, but after a bit of prowling, Pappy
. found it. He came upon a spot which looked as if it might
have .been a building site, and sure enough, we found a few
square nails of a type used at that time,' rusty cans with
tops folded over much like women fold aluminum foil to
make a temporary oven dish, and bits of glass of a green
color and with many bubbles and imperfections quite unlike
the glass found in present-day bottles.
One of the men at Hart mountain refuge headquarters
supplied the information that the camp was moved in 1867
to Honey creek west of Warner valley, and later down
into California, where it was permanently; located' at Fort
Bidwell which is still maintained..
Curious about the name Warner, we read in Lewis A.
McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, and .found that the
string of lakes and the valley below were named Warner
Lakes and Warner valley in honor of Brevet Captain William
Horace Warner, "who was killed by Indians in September,
1849, just over the line in northern California. ' Hart moun
tain itself was at first known as Warner mountain, Mc
Arthur records. At the time of Captain Warner's death, he
was on a mapping and exploration project.
l .
On this trip we again explored the shores of Lake Abert
where are located interesting circle formations arranged
from large stones. It seems generally agreed that these
were used by the Indians, since many artifacts have been
found in the area. Examining them, Potpourri wondered if
the enclosures were living areas for the Indian family units,
Coming upon one somewhat larger, and made of bigger

"The chief must have stood here to preside over the
pow-wow," we decided, "and perhaps each brave would
stand by the stone when it came time for him to speak."
"Maybe," replied Pappy. ''Come to think of it, that must

Portland Woman Heads
Platform Subcommittee
By HELEN THOMAS
United Preit International
Chicago - The Republicans
have picked a lady politician
to hammer out the human
side of their platform.
She Is Shirley Field, Port
land, Ore., lawyer who heads
the platform subcommittee
dealing with planks on health,
welfare and housing.
She realizes that she may
be walking in where angels
fear to tread. One of her big
problems will be a plank on
the controversial propositi to
medical cure for the aged.
The problem is how to
compromise the views of
President Eisenhower with
New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller's stand on sup
port of paying for care for
the aged through the social
security system.
Miss Field looks like the
outdoor girl that she Is. Her
light brown curly hair Is
short cropped. Her eyes arc
brown. She's tanned and freckle-faced.
Feminine without flourish
es she talks straight from
the shoulder when it comes
to political issues.
The health and welfare
field is second nature to her.
She's one of 10 women in the
Oregon Legislature and this
is her area of chief concern.
She demonstrated her in
terest in social affairs when
she sponsored a bill to per
mit'singlng in Oregon taverns
- something the "superannu
ated college kids" wanted to
do. She made her case to the
tune of the "Beer Barrel Pol
ka" piped In through the pub
lic address system at the state
capitol. The bill passed but
the governor vetoed it.
Oregon is her . adopted
state. She calls herself a
"frustated cowgirl" and keeps
a few Herefords on a friend's
ranch. All of her cows are
named baseball terms like
Foul" and "Bunt." Her
brand is a diamond with a
baseball in the center.
Her convention wardrobe
is cool ana simple, one s
career girl but she said she
would willingly chuck the
single blessedness if the
right guy" came along.
She said the Democrats
have made "roundhouse
statements" In (heir platform
which they can't back up. She
hopes the GOP will work out
a platform that will "plan
realistically" for tho 60s.
Miss Field has entertained
visions of going to Congress.
If she decided to run, her op
ponent would be Rep. Edith
Green (D.Ore.).
As for the national cam
paign, she has no illusions
that It would be easy. But she
predicts a Republican victory
