swirling floodwaters to the
area. . , '
Floods have already driven

in the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
In these sketchy Chronicles
of the Southwest, let's talk
about roads today..
I suppose one of the fastest
roads in the United States is
from Reno t,o Las Vegas. It's
fast for two reasons. One is
that the people who travel it
-the whole distance, that is
are in a hurry. It's 459 miles
from the gambling and night
club metropolis of Northern
Nevada to the gambling and
night club metropolis of
Southern Nevada, and nearly
everybody wants to make it
in one day. And the night
life of Reno is not such as to
promote early morning departures.
And nobody wants to get
into Vegas late. Speed is the
answer to the problem.
THE other reason is that for
the most part the road is
straight-especially from Tono-
pah on. Speed on this route
is : reasonably safe because
traffic is light. Add to that
the fabulous smoothness of the
pavement. There is hardly a
bump in the whole 455 miles,
Add the further fact that
most of the time you can see
ahead for 15 or 20 miles and
off to one side clear to the
foot of the nearest mountain
and you can understand why
there is little loitering along
me way.
Besides, Nevada is broad
minded about speed, as about
many other things. You waste
little time looking for traffic
cops. The general idea seems
to be that whatever your car
will do is the speed limit.
IF YOU are one of the few
who have no Date with
Destiny in Las Vegas, you
cross the Colorado at Hoover
Dam, some 20-odd miles south
of Vegas. The dam serves two
purposes. It backs up the wa
ter in the Colorado, so that
power can be extracted from
it, and it serves also as a
bridge.
If you ' are a hard-boiled
Republican, you will recall
that the dam was projected
by the GOP and was named
for President Hoover. There
came then 1932 and the Roo
sevelt administration. FDR
changed the- name to Boulder
Dam. It stayed Boulder Dam
until the Republicans got back
into power. They promptly
changed : it back to Hoover
Dam.
, What W'H happen after the
election that is due on the 8th
of next month remains to
be seen. -. . '
TT IS worth recalling that
when Hoover Dam was be
ing projected Nevada slipped
a cog. While it was looking
the other way, Arizona and
California gobbled most of the
power. Worse still, they gob
bled the bulk of the WATER.
As a' result, Las Vegas is
surrounded by a vast and arid
plain, whereas it MIGHT have
been surrounded by a green
and lovely land-for the soil
is fertile.
. There's a lesson in that for
us of the State of Jefferson.
When the water is being por
tioned out, let's make sure
we're not looking tha other
way.

Forest Scientists
Continue Study of
Lifting Seedlings
Corvallis - Forest scientists
at the Oregon Forest Research
center, Corvallis, have started
their second year of study of
lifting time of Douglas fir
seedlings from forest nurse
ries. Forest Pathologist Ernest
Wright and Forest physiolo
gist Denis Lavender said that
Douglas fir seedlings lifted
from the nursery before Nov.
4, 1959, had an average sur
vival of only 70 per cent. Seed
lings lifted after Dec. 1 had
an average survival of 90 per
cent, and appeared more vig
orous than those of the early
liftings.
Study is continuous to con
firm early findings and to de
termine the effect of cold
storage on survival and vigor
of the seedlings.
Two-Week Intervals
Seedlings have been lifted
at two-week intervals since
Aug. 24 from the Oregon for
est nursery near Corvallis.
Each of the two experimental
plantations established by the
rehabilitation section of the
Oregon state board of forestry
receive 100 seedlings from
each lifting.
The plantations, located in
the Tillamook Burn and in
the Cascades east of Silverton,
have been fenced from deer
and protected from other in
jurious mammals.
Tests at the research center
have indicated that vigor in
growth of both roots and tops
is reduced by early lifting of
the seedlings. Growth of
shoots in the spring can be de
layed by as much as two
weeks. :
Dr. Wright aiso will study
mycorrhizae on roots of seed
lings. These fungi aid seed
lings in extracting water and
nutrients from soil.
