OREGON Regional Roundup By Clev Twitchell Regional Editor The trip Irom Highway 62 up to Butte Falls, refreshing for a resident o the valley floor at almost any time of year, is particularly pleasing just now. The pastures and ranch lands along the road arc as erccn as can be, and the patches of forest here and there appear particularly healthy. Even the brush is at tractive.

Cily olii cials arc hopeful of getting the paving work completed this summer. Gold Hill Council Receives New U.S. Flag for City Park Tho Bald Spots Thn!
