Oiv- The Mill City Enterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S -FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXII NUMBER 39 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt People who live in Oregon have many advantages over those living in other parts of the United States. In Mill City we live in the mountains, are close to large cities, and only about two hours away from the ocean. Those who were at the beach this past weekend real ly hit the weather at its best. We went over Wednesday af ternoon to let our North Da kota kin have a look at the big puddle. They have been there before, of course. We took our trailer house and enjoyed our state parks there. The weather was just right, so my brother and I tried our luck at salmon fishing. I was skunked, but brother Al latch ed onto two nice salmon. This was his first deep sea fishing adventure so he was more than satisfied. All of us were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Randy Randleman for dinner Friday night, and on Sunday they visited our camp at Bev erly Beach and took the Al Moffatts back with them to visit. Mrs. Randleman is a niece of Mrs. Moffatt. On this Sunday the ocean really dis played its might. The huge breakers were dashing clear over the rocks at Boiler Bay, one of our favorite spots. When we left to come home, the Spouting Horn at Depoe Bay was shooting water clear up onto the highway. While there we saw Mr. and Mrs. Glen Shelton and the Art Bas setts from Tillamook. The Sheltons had been on the coast for the past 10 days or so. Glen said one day the tem perature got up to 95, and that is real hot for the beach. Did you ever have your car stop dead in an intersec tion? This happened to us on the way home. Right at that intersection a t Rickreall, where the traffic was really heavy. We got right in the middle and the car went “funk.” “Pitty sakes,” I said, “she’s deader than a Macker el.” And it was. I was sure the battery was o. k., but I could turn on the switch and jiggle it, and nothing happen ed. Finally a kind soul asked if I had a chain, which I did, so he pulled our outfit down the road a short distance where we would not hold up the traffic. After dinging around with the switch for a little bit, the engine came to life, and we had no more trouble on the way home. But isn’t that a heck of a feeling? Blocking all that traffic. I hope it doesn’t happen again. THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON Capital Conference Music Directors Meet Calendar Sales Drive Under Way Paul Brady and Fred Berg, co-chairmen of the annual Lions Birthday Calendar sales campaign outlined their program at the dinner meet ing Monday night. Some of the sales territories have been divided up this year in an attempt to call on every family in Mill City and Gates. It Is the hope of the chair men to have the campaign all buttoned up within two weeks. Both men urged that citi zens welcome the Lions club salesmen, because the money raised by the sales of the cal endars goes for sight conser vation and local programs. Each year many pairs of eye glasses are furnished to stu dents in the area who other wise would not have had the advantage of being able to see properly. Calendar salesmen are re quired to collect to $2 for the calendars, and the public is asked to cooperate. In other business, President Maynard Smith named his committees for the year as follows: Membership, Fred Kreck- low; program, Martin Hansen; constitution and bylaws, Bill Lewellen; fund raising, Jim Wettergreen; greeting com mittee, Fred Krecklow; con vention, Mel Rambo; sight conservation, Fred Berg; in ternational relations, John Stevens; calendar sales, Paul Brady and Fred Berg; boys and girls committee, Leo Poole; public relations, Don Moffatt; civic improvement, Mel Rambo; scout cabin, Mar tin Hansen and Mel Rambo; community betterment, Ben ny Bennett; education, Bill Lewellen; socials, Fred Berg; school score board, Clyde Richards, Burton Boroughs, and Benny Bennett. The first board meeting will be held at the home of President Smith, Monday, Oc tober 2. All committee chair men are asked to attend. One new member, Floyd Eastwood was taken in at this meeting. Blood Drawing At Stayton Thursday A blood drawing by the American Red Cross bloodmo- bile crew will be held at Stay ton Thursday, September 28 at the Stayton grade school. Hours for the drawing will be from 4:30 until 8:30 p. m. There is a special need for A- positive blood, used in open heart surgery and this goes directly to the University hospital in Portland. Those who can give this type of blood are asked to be there at 4 p. m. Mrs. Kenneth McKenzie, who is the local director of the program, said no appoint ment was necessary but en couraged all donors to come as early as possible. The biggest use of blood is still in its whole form and about half of the five mill ion units used per year come from Red Cross volunteer donors Some <50,000 units a year are collected in the Pacific Northwest. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1967 $3.50 » YEAR — 10c a Copy Santiam Education Association Hosts Fall Banquet The Capital conference music direct ors met earlier this month at Scio High school to discuss the music events with in the conference this year. One new idea is to have band and choral clinics in the fall. A tentative date for this fall has been set for a band clinic at Woodburn high school. Music leaders for the schools are pictured clockwise around the table from left: Mrs. Loraine Bruce, Cascade Camp Fire Girls Are Collecting Deer Hides The Mill City Camp Fire Girls are again asking hunt ers to save their deer and elk hides for them. This is the third year the organization has sponsored the drive and yhe money thus obtained is used to assist the girls in their projects. The Camp Fire and Blue bird girls have drop barrels at the Sportsman Center, Rose Hardware on Highway 22 and Jerry’s Tavern in Dave Barnhardt, co-chairmen Gates. Mrs. Paul Brady and Mrs. of the leader’s association, said it was most helpful if the hides were rolled tightly and tied before being placed in the barrels. Hides in good condition are, of course, the most valuable. It is being sug gested that hides brought from a distance be well salted to help preserve them. The Camp Fire and Blue bird groups are grateful for the response of hunters in the past two years and hope to be remembered again this year.

Buck Season To Open Saturday At the time of going to press Wednesday morning, the hunting season was still on, hut it is likely that it will be closed unless there is a drastic change in the wea ther. The woods are Under dry, and any spark could set off another disastrous tire. September 30 is the big day for most Oregon hunters, and the choice of targets de pends on whether the prefer ence is for big game or up land game birds. Legal tar gets for this important open ing will be buck deer through out the state, chukar and Hungarian partridge in east ern Oregon, and blue and ruf fed grouse in western Oregon. For the gunner who likes all kinds of shooting, it will be a tough decision to make. Undoubtedly, most hunters will choose buck deer, with this general season extending through October 22 east of the Cascades, October 29 in the Keno and Rogue Units, and November 5 in all other units west of the Cascade summit. Legal bag limit is one buck with visible antlers east of the mountains and one buck with at least forked antler on the west side. Deer hunters will again find competition heavy in all areas of the state. Last year Mark Bennett passed for more than 286,000 deer tags three touchdowns and Bob were issued, and if the an Ward ran for two as the Wol nual trend continues this will verines rolled over Salem be Increased about five per cent again this year.

Cannon and Other Indians Wolverines Fight for Right to keep Land Take First Home Game Robert Cannon of Albany Monday, asked the U. S Dis trict Court for Injunctions against the Bureau of Land Management which tore down his cabin two weeks ago. The cabin was located over the Gates Hill in the North Fork area. Indians picketed the BLM office Tuesday and said Pre sident Johnson should inves tigate the BLM. The Indians, whose num ber varied from o' dozen to about 30 during the day, say the government refused to re cognize a homestead claim on federal forest land in Oregon. N S Sportsmen Club To Meet Monday Evening at Mehama The next regular meeting of the North Santiam Sports men’s club will be Monday, October 2 at 8 p. m. at the Mehama Firehall. The September meeting was cancelled because of Lt e conditions, according to Art Hagen, club president. How ever, he said he was glad to report that evei/thing w okay at the club site on De troit Lake. The caretaker will be there through the month of October and Hagen said it would be a good idea for members to have their trail ers, etc., moved from the site by that time. He asked that the campsites be left in good, clean condition. There will lie election of of ficers at the December meet ing an.l only board meetings are scheduled for January and February.

At issue is a federal judge’s refusal to allow Thurman Banks, an Iowa Indian, to keep a plot of BLM land he had staked out near Roseburg in Southern Oregon. Banks, who lives in Albany, contended that he had squat ter’s rights to the land under an 80-year-old Indian allot ment act. Banks, Cannon and several other Indians made 160-acre claims on Oregon and Cali fornia bevested lands fn West ern Oregon, which is admin istered. A 160-acre plot is worth $500,000. Cannon is seeking a perm anent injunction restraining Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall and his subordinates from releasing any and all news releases which tend to derogate plantiffs’ rights. He is also seeking a temporary injunction restraining the BLM from “any further inter ference” with the property he claims in the North Fork area. He is also asking the U. S. District Court to issue an order to the BLM to return and restore all his property which he said was subject to illegal or premature confis cation. Clackamas-Marion Lands Closed to Deer Hunters Extremely dry iorests and fire danger has surely forced the closure of many thousand acres of private and public land to deer hunters in the Clackamas-Marion Fire dis trict, according to District Forester, Chan Bunke. He said unless there was a definite change in the wea ther before the weekend, which would mean a generous amount of rainfall, entry would be restricted. The present entry closure will remain in effect and per mits will not be granted un less the weather changes before hunting season opens this weekend. There have been two seri ous and costly fires started recently by bird hunters. Mr. Bunke said he felt that this indicated a general careless ness and lack of recognition of the very hazardous condi tions which have prevailed this season.
