yesterday to reveal he had turned

'Big' Wreck,
Siren Yails,
Newsmen Rally
By WALLACE MYERS
Minor cause and multiple effect
of that screaming siren that shat
tered Klamath Falls nerves about
seven last evening:
Minor cause A Southern Pacific
railway derailment midway be
tween Barclay Springs and Ouxy.
A "hot box" caused one pair of
trucks on a freight car of a south
brund train to Jump the track. The
siren was summoning a wreck
crew.
Multiple effect This reporter and
Herald -News Sports Editor Red
Hurd were manning the Herald
Hews newsroom while regular night
man Dave Underhill was out for
dinner. ,
' Phone Flood
' Scant seconds after the wailing of
the siren had ceased the battery of
newsroom phones began Jangling. I
"What in tarnation has busted
loose." was the typical query of '
one of the constant phoners. I
Manning two phones each. Red
and I finally managed to get In a
few outgoing calls but could ascer
tain only that there was some kind
of a rail wreck "near Ouxy."
(SP later reported that during
those same hectic minutes their
phone switchboard was also
swamped with calls.)
Away!
Herald-News Reporter Hale Scar
b rough arrived and took over the
newsroom so Red and I could get to
the -wreck."
High on the steep highway 97
bluff near Ouxy. we spied the lights
of a. standing locomotive on the
lake-side tracks far below.
There was no sign of life or ac
tivity and nothing appeared amiss.
However, we had to get the story
and Red Jockeyed his car to a hair
raising perch off the road on the
lip of a precipice.
Down, Dowa
Slipping and sliding our way
down the almost sheer, boulder
strewn and bramble entangled hill.
Red gashed his hand on a rock and
I, whooping when bounding rock
hit my foot, propelled my loose
bridgework out of my mouth Into
the rough darkness.
We were finally blocked, some 10
feet short of the railway tracks,
by a pesky fence but a railroader
came walking down the track and
answered our yells. We learned the
minor nature of the "wreck" and
disgustedly began our climb back to
the road.
Fennd!
I had practically given my bridge
work up for lost but when we came
to the approximate spot, the red
head Insisted on having a look.
After his second or third match,
he suddenly yipped:
"Either a gopher Is grinning out
of his hole at me or I've found the
teeth." Miraculously, it was crock
ery chompers and we continued our
climb to the car.
Back in the Herald and News
newsroom, we found that City Edi
tor Lois Stewart and Photographer
Wes Ouderlan had also answered
the siren's call.
Day's End
So. five weary newspaper workers
kidded a bit and went their several
says. Another "big" story had been
'w rapped up."

Hope
Jnaalln's trip through the 2nd dis
trict avowedly was aimed at finding
a democrat to run against republi
can Lowell Stockman, who has
bi-en congressman for four terms.
He reported that Eastern Oregon
democrats are "beginning to be
lieve they ran elect a congressman
there."
He declared he had never before
"found so much enthusiasm on the
part of the democrats of the dis
trict." In addition to Bon In. Jusslin
said he considered as potential ron
giessional candidates Henry L- Hess.
La Orande. a U. S. attorney for
the Oregon district: E. B Aldrich,
publisher of the Pendleton East
Oreginlan: Nadine Strayer of Bait
ei: Hugh Bowman, former Pendle
ton mayor: and Celia Gavin, The
Dalles.
Shock
Mentvn of the two women may
come as a shock to many Eastern
Oregon democrats, since the 2nd
district Is one of the largest and
most thinly populated districts re
ptesented in the congress, and It s
generally considered something of
a "last frontier."
Miss Strayer Is an active young
democrat, daughter of the late State
Senator William Henry Strayer.
Miss Gavin Is a lawyer by profes
sion. University of Oregon gradu
ate, longtime The Dalles city attor
ney. She was for many years vice
president of the state party or
ganisation and was a presidential
elector in 1924 and 1944.
Boivln
Boivin. Klamath Falls attorney. Is
a former speaker of the Oregon
house of representatives, a former
liquor commissioner and at present
is a member of the state board of
education.
As for himself. Josslin reported
he might run for governor "if I
cannot persuade someone else to
do It." He said however that In
various discussions of possible gu
bernatorial candidates, the names
most often mentioned were Walter
J Pearson, state treasurer, and
State Senators Austin Flegel and
Richard Neuberger.
