Notes on a quick drive to Eu
Kene and back:
There was no delay, either ro
Inn or coming, because of the high
way rebuilding: project up along the
lake.
When this- last few miles ol
the "Ateoms cut-off," at the Mo
doc Point end. is completed there
need be no apology on our route
north. ' -
There was a few minutes delay
coins., none coming back, at the
Lookout Point dam project down
the Willamette.
This thing seems to go on and
' on. Interminably. If they don't
finish it up soon the hillsides and
bottoms that were logRed and
brushed off slick and smooth sill
need a second going over. Brush
and Dew growth Is starting a "five
C'clock shadow."
This dam on the Willamette
river (name changed Irom Meridi
an to Lookout probably at a cost
of a million dollars paper work,
some cynic has remarked) is (or
the purpose of flood control.
Watching its progress year after
. year, a person is caused to specu
late on how many thousands of
years it would take to pay it off
' were the project charged against
' the land that will be benefited by
the flood control ... or if the
benefits would start to pay the
interest on the investment ... or
if the thing would be silted ' full
long before that fictional time of
amortization ... or how many
brans would be grown in the
Willamette valley If floods hadn't
deposited silt in the bottomlands

The flying saucers are still with
us. Yesterday a couple of airline
pilots spotted one over toe East
Coast. Pretty good description, and
' one which tallies fairly well with
the report of another saucer spot
ted over Kentucky a year ago.
" Occasionally some obscure scien
tist will come out ana admit that
there must be something going
around in the air besides meteors,
wind balloons, weather Instruments
and other trivia.
And yet there is no proof. Scien
tific, well-founded proof, that is.
There have been a few spotted
around town. Back in 1950 Corinne
Gheller and Clydene Bousman re
ported seeing a "large shiny ob
ject" in the Klamath skies. Joe
Segoviano spotted another one on
June 16th of the same year while
working at his Job of gate man
at WTC. Carl Engbloom. a Mid-
' land fanner, noted three ot them
in April, 1990. Mr. and Mrs. Har
old Tunnell spotted one over Hog
back on May 14th.
Then came 1951 and more reports
from our area, not to mention a
million or so from other areas.
, Joe Marian, Mrs. Herb Jones and
eight-year-old Glen Jones all re
ported seeing mysterious objects
in the skies. Then In the same
month three more people, who re
quested that their names not be
used, spotted a handful of discs.
And Wednesday night we had a
fireball over Klamath Falls.
The more I think about it the
more I'm convinced that there is
' such a thing as a flying saucer.
: At least I hope so. I'd hate to
see so many reputable people prov
en liars. ;
And I'd hate to think of anything
' so fascinating as the saucers go
out of our lives. On top ot that, I'd

I'll bet there is one man that
thought he had flying saucers or
worse a short time ago. all came
out of a story Harry Carlson, Unit
ed Press, was passing along to me
yesterday.
Seems that Harry had gone to
a recent gathering of newspaper
men jor weir annual summer sm-
slon. Hoping to squeeze in a little
golf he stuck his clubs In the car.
But what with one thing and anoth
er he didnt get around to playing.
But while having one of those
uungs tana anoiner) a inend came
up with a complaint that he had
a partner for a round but aald
partner had no clubs. Harry loaned
him the set in the back of bis
car (which was having a flat
fixed at the time. Incidentally) and
thought no more about it. Mot,
that is, until last week when he
took the clubs out to play a quick
round himself and found that he
had only one ball left.
"That was alright." said Harry.
1 didn't mind that, but th.
ball left was that trick one the
one that hops around, swerves in
dizzy circles and Is strlctlv all off
center. And It was all grass stained
ana cut to riooons. '
Having occasion to run Intn th.
friend later he askd ahnnt th.
golf game. "Well, we did pretty
well," stated the friend. "That is
until the last few holes. By then
poor old Blank couldn't keep the
ball on the green."

Pullman To
Raise Rates
WASHINGTON 11 The Pull
man Company received permission
Friday to raise its minimum
charge for sleeping car accommo
dations by about 23 per cent.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission said the company could
put the Increase Into effect on
July 28.
The new schedule of rates will
establish a minimum charge of
five dollars for a lower berth in
a standard Pullman car. The pres
ent minimum is $4.05 for that type
of accommodation.
Since all sleeping-car charges
are' tied to the basic lower-berth
fare, all other types of sleeping
accommodations will take a propor
tionate advance.
Thus, the minimum charge for
a lower berth in a tourist sleep
ing car will advance from 13.20 to
$3.95.
The upper berth minimum will
become S3. 80 in a standard Full
man and $3.05 in a tourist car,
with roomettes priced at a flat
seven dollars.

It had been repaired at the

"No," he quoted Wenger as
answering, "I'm not talking any
more until I see my lawyer."
Sheriff Kearney told Lemon he
was mailing a warrant for the

however, took him into cuxtndv on
