“THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS.
—George Putnam.
(For our last editorial we draw upon the words and thoughts of
George Steffy, affectionately known as “Santiam Sam” by his many
friends. The following is taken from his banquet speech given before
those assembled in the Mill City High School recreation room for the

in 1950. Without his fine inspiration the North Santiam Chamber of
Commerce and its good work would not exist today. We hope that
Santiam Sam’s dreams for the North Santiam come true faster than
even he expects.)

North Santiam, move into the future,
