Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
WE'RE home today from a drive over Cen-'
tral Oregon's snowy landscape to Burns
and back, and because a reasonable number of
readers have Indicated an In
terest In the informal trav
elogues that appear occasion
ally In this column, we're go
ing to cover this trip with a
few brief observations.
The uninitiated, driving
over the sagebrush stretches
of the high desert country,
might well- wonder what fea
tures of special interest one
could find along those rocky
v ranrlctripfi Rlrin in the car with
" us for a while out of Lake- EPLEY
view, and we'll give you an idea of what .so
many people miss, , . ..
In the car ahead of us .Saturday morning
were Harry Utley and Gene Favell, ten-acres-or-a-township
real estate, men. of Lakeview, John
King and Elmo Ang'ele. Out beyond Valley
Falls, where the road skirts big Abert lake un
der mighty Abert rim, there was a wave from
the car ahead and it came to a stop. '
"We've got something to .show you," said
Harry Utley, who homesteaded near Valley
Falls in 1908 and . knows every mahogany
thicket and rimrock of that area.
The Rock Circle
SO WE 'followed the Lakeview delegation on
. short .walk through the snow, in the direc
tion -of "'the rim. It iwas -aVthe base of Poison
creek tlraw, a tiny", groove in the mighty face
of- Aberti; that we : discovered a fort-like circle
of rocks. This was obviously , a piece , of ancient
Indian construction, arid the proof lay lri a per
fectly round and smootlT indentation in a flat
rock at the edge of the circle. In this mortar
the Indian women had ground meal for food for
the warriors, . or the families, ; or whoever occupied-
the rock circled There were, evidences
that someone, using a ick or other sharp in
strument, had tried to pry the mortar loose, no
doubt for a private souvenir; It was an extreme
ly interesting : spot, but. there was no marking
by the side of the highway, and comparatively
few have 'seen it. -: .,
We trudged back tovthecars, and drove a
few miles farther before .stopping - to read the
geological marker set up at'the roadside by the
state highway commission. This board explains
that Abert rim is one of the highest exposed
faults in the United States. Note those words,
"one of." We had always understood it was
the highest, but some careful i guy.r'possibly a
one-time editorial writer, had prepared the text
for that plaque.
A few miles on toward Burns, and the cars
stopped again. .'; '"...;-.,.''
"We want you to hear the echo,": said Harry.
The motors were stopped and complete silence
gripped the snowy countryside. Then Gene
Favell blew his auto horn. The sound rever-,
berated -up a. shallow canyon in the face of the
great rim, and then seemed to roll from canyon
. to canyon and from cliff to cliff, coming back
to us distinctly again and again. Our shouts
echoed and re-echoed In similar fashion.
1 There is nothing to mark that spot on the
roadside, .and only the Informed -would know
of the interesting experience available there.
.-.'
Scene Of Desert Feud
It ORTH of Lake Abert the highway (U, S.
395) climbs out of the lake basin and on
past lesser rims into less rugged high desert
country. Here one is likely as not to see a herd
of antelope. (One Klamath party on the Burns
trip reported seeing 700 on the return jaunt
Sunday morning).
It runs through the Alkali lake country,
where Cliff Dunn built a highway-side, airplane
landing strip as a wartime project when bomb;
ing planes were using 'that uninhabited area for
practice. It makes a turn at Wagontire, 'a tiny
settlement which has been the scene of one of
Oregon's legendary range wars over a precious
waterhole. To those who know, here is another
spot of intense interest.
To get the best out of trips through that coun
try, one needs to ride .with an old-timer like
: Harry Utley or any other of numerous veteran
residents of Lakeview. Then, a jagged peak, a
tongue of forest stretching out over the desert '
floor, a mahogany thicket under a rim, the
ruins of an ancient cabin, ' provide inspiration
for a good story. The late Bill Hanley, the ,
grand old man of the Burns country, was in
comparable as a companion on high desert
trips (though we, remember well how he helped
Frank Jenkins and this writer get lost once on
the. dim trails of the Hart mountain country).
Ranqeland Yarn
WE encountered zero weather at Burns.
Justin MacDonald, Herald and News ad
vertising man who accompanied the writer on
this trip, isn't long back from navy service in
the tropical isles of the South Pacific, and not
-.' even Klamath's early winter had given him
quite the re-indoctrination in east-of-the-moun-tains
weather he got at Burns.
But we were put up snugly in the Arrow
head hotel, a pleasant hostelry, and we discov
ered at Burns the unaffected good fellowship,
the hearty handshake and the natural hospital
ity which Is typical of eastern and central Ore
gon, We sat for a while In the office of the Burns
Times-Herald, where Doug Mullarky and Julian
Byrd dispense news, advertising, and journalis
tic good will to a far-flung subscriber family.
And Doug, of course, had a good story for
us. It was about the rancher who was riding the
branch railroad from Ontario to Burns and
observed a man sitting at the end of the car
counting rapidly on his fingers as he looked
out of the window. .,,;
After this had continued for an hour or so,
. the rancher approached and asked the fellow
what he was doing. The man explained he was
a cattle counter, and when he rode through the
country, he simply counted the cattle on the
range. The rancher doubted his claims of deadly
accuracy, and inasmuch as the railroad ran
through the rancher's property, he challenged
the expert to count the cattle there.
When they had passed throush, the fellow re
ported. He had missed just two in a herd of
876. o', ... s
"How in heck do you do it?" the rancher
demanded. ' 1
"Well, I've got it simplified now," was the
answer. , "I used to pick out every animal and
count it separately. Now I just count their feet
and divide by four."
SIDE GLANCES
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 Well, we decided
Grandfather Pomerene should have the
money, or rather he decided it, and got it. He
worried us very much. He said he had his honor
to think of, and while he did not have a dine
or a prospect of repaying us, he wanted to call
whatever he could get out of us a non-interest
bearing loan."
He has peculiar notions of honor. To default
on his debt is not dishonorable, but to confess
he is destitute, is. He already owes us more
than he could repay if he were rich.
For us to wipe out that old debt does not
impinge upon his honor .He wants us to do it
and lend him more. But unless we pretend the
money he wants us to give him now is a "loan"
that will affect his honor.
. Frankly I can see the honor of our family is
whatever Grandpa happens to want at the
moment. Established convictions of honor
those established nearly 2000 years and more
back ,and confirmed by majority adherence
since then no longer prevail1 for our family,
although I will say, most of us have tried to
live up to them, including my brother in the
army and the one in the navy. '
I think what got us to give him the money,
however, -was not his idea of making whatever
he wanted to do seem honorable, but the fact
that he really did worry us. Unless we gave in,
he said he would go to our Cousin Nagon (his
name really should be hyphenated), you know,
the roving one, whose life is obsessed by poll
tics to the exclusion of all the other fine points
of good living.
Never Wanted Home
COUSIN NAGON, for instance, never wanted
to own a home' of his own, which would
be his citadel against the world, his and his
only. Consequently, he never , had an interest in
planting,; in cutting - the lawn to make it look
the best in the neighborhood as a proud exhibit'
of his own initiative. He never wanted, conse
quently, to improve' the place he lived in, to
beautify it with -flowers and plants. He never
wanted a nice quiet neighborhood.
Vegetables, he would plant, he said, because
those make if ood. People . could eat those, he
said. They could not eat a cleancut lawn or
beauty in any form.
Consequently the most delectable phases of
human existence escaped him entirely. And as
for his own eating, I noticed he always gulped
down his food and never enjoyed it.
He thought our mother was a fool for toiling
in the kitchen to make those strawberry pre
serves- which- tasted like the nectar from
Elysian fields, or the home-made yeast bread
she set overnight to rise, or the unsalted butter
she churned all the good edible things of life
she produced to her own delight and ours by
her own energy.
When father earned enough to hire a maid
to do those things, Nagon said she was a fool
to do it also. He always thought there was
. something . unworthy about the , really good
things of life,
, - .. '
Everyone Would Eat Caviar
WHEN he got control, he said, it would all
be different everyone would eat caviar
(gosh, how I hate the stuff), .drink champagne
(it is always bitter or sour and gives me acid
ity), and smoked sturgeon (which I have never
tasted, but I think I might like it, if it is any
thing like herring or white fish).
But as I say Grandpa Pomerene threatened
to get Nagon started against us, and Nagon is
a nuisance. He threatened to make himself a
nuisance, and practically indicated he would
commit suicide, economically at any rate.
- He became so unpleasant I went away for a
while, and apparently, I have just found out,
he went to a candy merchant down the street
in my absence. This merchant is a good friend
of mine, and he came to me when I returned
and said we ought to give Grandpa the money.
That was just enough to make me give in.
I said all right, the whole mess would be less
trouble to the family if we gave him the money
than if we did not. So I did.
But do you know what I found out later?
Grandpa had promised my friend the merchant
to buy ten dollars worth of candy, not neces
sarily from him, but from other candy manu
facturers, if he got the money. My friend
thought it would be a great stimulation to the
candy business. : -
Well, I do not know. Sometimes I wonder if
our family is all there.

DUBLIN. Dec. 17 The com

This possibility lies in the fact
tnat it is a major strategic stop
on the northern air route be
tween America and Europe. Eire
now is energetically developing

lish airport at .Croydon, from
which other lines radiate to the
continent, '.making: , Ireland an
easy place to react!, i. ,
Sure. I realize the reader mav

of her better times to -the fact
that she was neutral in the war,
despite American and British
pleas for naval bases. It's true
that Eire did profit economically

deal with that in another article,
Now in speaking of greater
prosperity for Eire I don't want
to give a wrong impression. She
is vastly better off than she was.
but it's only a dozen years ago
that the poverty in many areas
was appalling. Thousands lived
on potatoes and salt, and were
happy if they had a bit of bread
as well.: Starvation swept wide
areas when the potato crop
lauea.
Double Lunches
I fished in Ireland many sum
mers and generally employed
the same gillie (guide). He had
several young children and
about the only meat or white
bread they ever saw was that he
brought home in the form of
sandwiches left over from my
lunch, or from the lunches of
other fishermen whom he guid-
ra. i usea 10 carry double
lunches so he would hnvn fnnrf
for the family. And he was bet
ter off than many little tenant
farmers who battled with boggy
auu ior existence.
The privations of the rjeasants
were multiplied in the cities. The
siums oi uuDiin were held to be
among the world s worst.
Well, now in the few years
that the government under the
leadership of Eamon de Valera
nas Deen in power, there has
been a reorganization of the
country's economy. Southern
Ireland used to depend mainly
on cattle raising for its income.
Meantime it imported two-thirds
of its foodstuffs and much of its
loaaer.

The country then grew only 31.-

requirement of the country
and grows all its fodder besides.
Manufacturers also have been

TOYS FOR THE KIDS
By EARL WHITLOCK
Just couple of thoughts on
tho toys you select fur the Holi
day suggest
ed by a chlld
guldiiuco oxpurt
and having
more than tho
common quota
of co in m 0 11
sense, It seems
to mo,
1 Don't g e t
raucous noise
makers, If
there Is to bo
sound In toys, lot It ho a musi
cal sound not jtmt a racket.
2 Flimsy toys are out bo
cause they nre so easily de
stroyed thut they encourage de
structive habits which are
what you're trying to eradicate,
3 Don't get toys thut per
form whim you wind them up.
Thoy are moron-builders.
4 Don't give a toy that ap
peals to the 'Imagination of a
2-year-old but thut requires the
muscular skill of a S-ycnr-old.
6 Don't glvo toys that don't
work well. Such a hollow prom
ise destroys a child's faith In
the otorual Tightness of things
and In you.
6 Don t buy a toy Just be
causo It's "cute" unless It's for
yourself. If it Is for a child, ask
yourself what it will do for him.
We grown-ups like to have a
little thought put Into the things
folks give us. Why not give tha
youngsters on tha list the nmi
break?

of the Knrl Whltlock Funeral
