Southeastern Oregon, sort of an ' orphan area anyway, what with be ing politically a unit of Oregon and geographically a part of Califor nia, could certainly do with some such group. Right at the moment we can't think of any easy way to get one going, but it seems a shame that we don't have an over all organization which Includes all phases of business and agriculture - aa wall as our present private and atate organizations.

Snow from the other aid of the Northwest History Highlights By DAN E. CLARK Profeaaer Emeritus of History UBivtmlty of Oregon Today's question: What was the nature of placer gold mining and what wars its effects on Southern Oregon? The first decade In tha Southern Oregon diggings was the placer mining era. Tha typical prospector or gold miner was a comparative ly young man, dreaaed In aoarse clothing consisting of heavy pants stuffed into stout, hob-nailed boots, a flannel shirt open at the neck around which was tied a large ban danna handkerchief, and a wide Jolt hat. His essential tools were a, pick, an axe, a shovel, and a pan, and frequently a magnifying glass. These tools, together with a supply of provisions, cooking utensils, and blankets, were car ried by pack animals. The first, and simplest, placer mining operation was that of pan ning, which meant scooping up a Slides Of Cuba Trip Shown CmXOQUIN Mrs. Edmund Stanton, wife of the resident minister, showed slides of mis sionary work In Cuba to the Junior and Intermediate departments of the church school at the close of a six weeks course in religious work with Spanish speaking Amer icans. More recently she showed them at an evening meeting of the Women'a Society of Christian Service at the home of Mrs. Ger ald Wolff. March 19. Mrs. Stanton, who was then a college atudent, paid her own ex pensea to Florida where she Joined U other college students from all over the United States. They traveled to an area of Cuba remote from the tourist centers, where they worked with a Metho dist missionary circuit for two months. The Methodist church in the area was not Just a religious center. It was an education, health and aocial center, too, and the sum mer experience of working there waa very valuable, according to Mrs. Stanton.

If you're headtnz down that way In the near future make it a point to drop in on Jimmy Hamilton at the Timber Mountain inn Just op posite the Perez sign. He has a couole of new music machines In his museum that are well worth seeing. The latest addition is a massive ten instrument piece that plays some eight or ten tunes and bears a card -lettered by him saying: "this machine came from Newport, Rhode Island, the society capital of the United States, and it still thinks it is in the upper class." Id case you have never visited Uio place, a neat pumice brick structuro sitting out there in the sagebrush, you've missed one of the rarest treats offered by our wonderful country. Over the years Jimmy, a line mechanic and an ardent collector, has assembled a huge collection of early day music boxes. It Is an education to study them, have Jimmy explain 'em and listen to the melodies that once roared out over .the dance halls of the Barbary Coast, the booming miners' , halls of Colorado and the brash, bragging lumber camps of California and Oregon during the boom days when ' big men were whittling their big atlcks down In stead of sawing 'em down.

You'll never regret it. pan of gravel and washing it with a rotary motion. If gold was pres ent it was shaken free of the gravel and remained in the bottom of the pan. Oravel was said to be pay dirt If it contained ten cents worth of gold to the pan. An Improve ment on panning was the use of the rocker, a cradle-like affair open at one end which required tne cooperation of two men. One man shoveled in the gravel, while the other poured in water and sup plied the rocking motion. The heavy gold particles were washed through holes in a sheet Iron false bottom and caught between cleats in the bottom of the rocker. The most elaborate method was by sluicing, which necessitated a con siderable flow of water and a crew of several men. Numerous trough like sluice boxes from ten to twelve feet long were often Disced end to end, gravel shoveled in, and the water allowed to wash through It. The gold lodged behind "riffles'' or cleats in the bottom. By I860 the better payine placers In Southern Orcaon were worked out, although here and there for years, prospectors continued to pan good paying dirt. The lure of gold had brought the elements of civili zation, towns, farms, and trans portation facilities, to a region that had been a wilderness over which only Indians and wild animals roamed. Jacksonville early had a newspaper and a theater. Before long merchants, professional men and others brought their families. Schools and churches were begun, ana me icaiures oi a more set tled community Ufa began to ap pear. A few of the towns. esDeclal- ly Jacksonville, continued to pros per after the placer gold was ex hausted and the excitement died awty. When the first quarts mill was opened at Gold Hill about 18o0 gold mining entered a new phase In which expensve machinery was required.

I am willing to grant that it would be Impossible to maintain mountain sheep today as a game animal in this country of terrific hunting pressures, however, why should you or I or our children and grand' children be denied the opportunity ana thrill of seeinir this wonderful animal in us native natmat? Well back to our hunting party The date. November 3, 1874, the place, Sisson's Station, now known as the city of Mt. Shas ta. Muir had returned from the ascent of Shasta and reports on his observation of the mountain sheep:' "while on Shasta I saw that the brave wild sheep were dis turbed as if contemplating re moval to their winter quarters. A few had weathered the; slorm In lee of flexllis pines a few hundred feet above my storm-nest and was hoped that the week of sub- drive them down to lower pastures where they would come In reach of rules." , . The hunting party headed for Sheep Rock which is a great out cropping of , volcanic tuffs Just north of . Shasta; Highway 97 now cuts between Sheep Rock and Shas ta at the point where the old Deer Mountain rood meets the present highway. "Sheen Rock, which we reached before night." writes Mulr, "lies to the north of Mount Shasta, about twenty miles from Sisson's. It is the principal resort of Shasta wild sheep during the winter months ana presents to the gray sage slopes oi anasta valley a bold, craggy, precipitous front of two thousand feet. Here we hunted only one day. Brown got a good view of an old ram, grand and niBssive as a buffalo. It came within twenty yards, then bounded majestically away without Brown's getting a shot. As signs of them were nowhern plentiful, it was clear that thev hod not yet come down from Mount Shasta. We therefore resolved tn set out next jnorning for the V?.n uremers' mountain, one of the most noted strongholds of sheep In the whole Shasta reclon. Larue flocks, we were assured, abide there both winter and summer.

" In case you might look for Van Bremers' mountain on the map you will not find It under that name for some joker who had no love for the Van Bremer family thought the name Mount Dome was more appropriate. Mulr continues; "On our way we reached Butte Creek about two o'clock' of the first day. This is the favorite haunt of the antelope. After lunch, Brown, Hepburn, and Jerome went out from camp to hunt them, and Hepburn shot a fine buck antelope, which was brought in after dark. We brought n.m iorwara to the camDtlre and held up bis head and steadied him upon his feet. The light fell on the beautiful stranger, and all bis feat ures stood out in startling impres. siveness. His large eyes, even in death, were still beautiful. His limbs, slender and graceful, ex pressed abundance of strength. " ine antelope is quite abundant in the plains and open timber to the north of Shasta. One of the fleetest and most graceful of all wild animals, he ranges not onlv the open valleys but the pine woods, and feeds upon grasses, In flocks of a hundred or more they are seen almost any day by th vaqueros of the region. "The Van BremerB, whose cabin and cattle ranch we reached, are three all hunters who, at length tired of hunting and trapping, have settled to raising stock in this wilderness. Their camp Is situated at tne base of the wild sheep moun tain about five miles from the south shore of ; Lower Klamaih Lake. "In answer to our inquiries they informed us that beyond rougn wanting we snould have no diffi culty in finding sheep; that per- naps two hundred or more made their home on the mountain and raised their lambs there, frequent ly issuing to the plains: but that when pursued on their favorite mountain they fled to the Modoc Lava Beds, which lie at the south east base of the mountain, The Mo doc Indians having been removed. the sheep have not been disturbed for two years. Tile Van Bremers said that when they first settled here, six years ago, they ascended tne mountain with rifles and hounds to make a grand sheep hunt, intending to kill twenty or thirty. But after pursuing their noble game for a week, they wore out their boots and clothes, and wearied and lamed their hounds. On open level or ascending-ground spots the hounds would gain on them, but on jagged lava crass and rough loose slopes they fell tor oenina, and tnough they pursuod day and night, could not capture a single one, so excellent Is the sheep's endurance. So they were compelled to abandon the hunt, and have never attempted to hunt them since.

The rebels are being supplied by the Russians and by the Red Chi nese just across the border. This country has pumped in supplies to the French. Neither China nor the United States has taken direct hand in the' fighting. But American confidence in the outcome will prove misplaced If the Vietminh smash the French or the Red Chinese decide to. step over the border and get Into the fighting. In either case the United States would have to make a fateful decision about getting directly Into the war itself, since the loss of Indochina to the Communists would probably be followed .by the loss of the rest of Southeast Asia. Step by step this country is getting a little more involved. If the Chinese Communists see the Vietminh going down, they may come to the rescue as they did in North Korea. Any direct American participa tion might at first be limited to air and sea action, with no Amer ican ground troops sent in. It's anyone's guess what would happen alter mat. The United States has sent B26 bombers into Indochina for the French, plus transport planes, plus 250 Air Force technicians to serv ice the planes which the French would fly In battle. Some American civilian piloti employed by Civil Air Transport, a privately owned line with head quarters in Hong Kong are flying tne transports on supply missions. Yesterday French pilots flew the transports on bombing raids. Now the French want . more bombers. Ana if they get tbem they say. they'll need more Air Force men to service them. Adm Arthur w. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had said not long ago the 260 air technicians sent In already would be with drawn by June. On March 12 the Defense De partment appointed Lt. Oen. John W. O'Danlel, now Army comman der In the Pacific, to head the Military Assistance Advisory Group in Indochina. Two days ago Secretary of De fense Wilson told a news confer ence the Indochlnese troops fight ing beside the French need "effec tive and- aggressive" training if the war is to be won. Various U.S. steps to help the French have caused concern ,ln Congress that the United States might get so deeply involved in the war that outright participation might be a necessary next step. President . Eisenhower, at his Feb. 10 news conference, tried to quiet such fears by saying every step this government takes In help ing the French to fight the Reds in Indochina is intended to keep this country out of a hot war there. Just what will this country da if the Red Chinese finally decide to take an active part in the fight ing? No one in government has given an answer. But last Sent. 2 Secretary of State Dulles made a statement which might be considered a warn ing to the Chinese. Their inter vention, he said, could not occur without grave consequences which mignt not be confined to Indochina.

But todav-w bring you plain rule of thumb way to let dad feel he at least dwells . on tn same nlan u hia teen-aare kids; "' "Sine you can't whip 'em, why not join "em?" i . This advice comes from Lester Rand, at a retired teen-agur himself, but on who has kept in touch with the field. He is presl' dent of the Youth Research Insti tute. The organization makes business surveys for firms selling youth products. It has a staff of 1,800 youngsters scattered over tne na tion who trudge about asking other youngsters such questions us, Junior, what are your buying habits? Why not give this new brand of bubble gum a 30-day test and see if you don't really una it easier on your Jaws than the brand you are now using?" Rsnd, a specialist in the s-to-36 age bracket, said lt takes a strong man to be the father of present- day teen-agers, and added, "Even the strong will find lt a trying period, But he went on to say that it'is a lot tougher to be a teen-ager now than lt was when dad waa a boy, and the way for dad to. meet the situation la to climb out of his rut and "get into the groove" with his kids. "Look young I" said Rand. "Any one over 21 looks ancient to a teen ager. Many fathers of teen-agers, of course, can't help looking older than they actually are, . but they ought to keep a young attitude, "Instead of acting shocked at the things your teen-age boy ' or girl may do, just play along as if you thought it were normal. In that way you're acceptable. You're on of the crowd. That can make up for a lot of your parental' short comings. "Dress youthfully. Get 'out of that old business suit when you come home and slide Into a pair of slacks and a sweater or sport shirt. Look like a high school kid yourself. "If you buy a new car, get convertible and your worries are Just about at an end. It's a good thing to have even though you may never get to drive it yourself. Teen-agers love convertibles." Her are a few tips by Rand on how to rejuvenate your outlook: "Forget about Charlie Chaplin or Mary Pickford, or at least don't speak about them in the presence of the young and hopeful. Learn and try to memoriae the names of the singers and movie stars popu lar in the teen-age sets Perry Como, Stewart Granger, Eddie Fisher, Tony Curtis. "If somebody mentions Shirley Temple, say you're too young to remember her. Don't talk about how things "used to be." Those comparisons are sudden death. "Know the latest dances. Forget about the- waits. Don't even say tne wora out loua. - "Keep up on teen-age fads and approve of them heartily, no mat ter now ridiculous they seem. "Pick up a few teen-age expreS' sions such as "This tears me up' (I really like it). 'Cast an eyeball' (read), 'Glurpy' (really great), or petunia- sissy), - "Otherwise you'll ' be tabbed 'square,' and that means you're 'ktnd've not too goodish.' or bad. But don't try to learn too much teen-age talk. Kids resent your in truding on their privacy." Everything clear now. dad? To understand your teen-age boy you Just become one yourself. This gets the problem off your shoulder, but leaves mother the task of deal ing with two teen-agers in the family, one new and one second hand. Her clue then is to crv. "oh pain, oh agony." That's teen-talk for: "Things aren't going so good." DELAY LONG BEACH. Calif. fi Rains have delayed final flight tests of Mrs. Dlanna C.
