And there was nothing wrong ix X. af i-. Northwest History Highlights BT DAN E. CLARK Professor Emeritus of History, University of Oregon Today's Question; what were the results of prospecting for gold west of the Cascade Mountains? The "gold fever" caused by the news from the Southern Oregon diggings stimulated the prospecting of all the streams flowing down the western slope of the Cascade Moun tains, from the Umpqua to the Ca nadian line. There were frequent rumors and reports of rich strikes, but later news usually dimmed the hopes of would-be miners. For In stance, In June, 1853, the Oregonlan reported that the Inhabitants of the upper Willamette Valley "have been recently taken with a perlect stampede and arc leaving night and day for new placers. It is said that men are making from $15 to $100 per day. The mines are said to be within 40 miles of Salem, on the head waters of the Bantinm." Two weeks later, however, the same newspaper told its readers that, "the reports frdm the gold mines on Santiam arc very contradic tory." Up in ypshliiRton Territory in April, 1854, an Olympia newspaper carried a glowing report from stell acoom on Pugct Sound, that "the most Intense excitement that has ever been crcnted In this town, or any other In Washington, was caused hero today by the unmlstak. sblo discovery of told I One of our citizens took his spade and pan at an early nour this morning, and repaired to a spot at the head of high water, dug out a pan lull of the eorth, washed the same and found It to contain a handsome quantity of beautiful, real alnion pure orol" Succeeding Issues ol ihe newspaper, however, contained no lurtner mention of the discovery. With somo executions, the beat that can be said for placer gold mining west oi tne Cascade Moun tains north of the Umpqua River is that, in various areas, it nnnnr. ently was sulliclcntly rewarding to provide at least tne equivalent ol a living wage for many men, when other work was scarce. Quarts mining was moro produc tlve, and the discovery ol new lodes precipitated several miniature stampedes to stake out claims Several quarti mines were opened along the Sanllain River during the 1860'a and a considerable amount ol gold, as well as silver, was pro duced.

Don't yawn. This wonder drug is really wonderful. It Works mir acles. It gets rid of "that tired feel ing" millions of - sluggish Ameri cans complain of. It makes you feel better. It adds zest, pep and variety to your Hie. ' Properly used, this miracle cure for what alls you can also benefit people of nearly all ages, sizes, sexes and weights. It leaves no billious after taste. It can be tak en at home or away from home. And it doesn't cost a mint of mon ey. It's absolutely free. What do they call this vital mir acle medicine? Well, frankly, may be that's what's wrong with It. The name has a bad sound. It is called let's face It exercise!" "I knew It ... I knew It," savs the average man, settling back grumpily intb his easy chair. "Just a trick. Exercise Is for children. Maybe It's for women now, too. since they don't have enough to do around the house. But I don't need it. Even the thought of exer cise bores me." But It Isn't a trick. Modern phy sicians are seeing the wisdom of a health hint written mere man 2,000 years ago by Cicero, the Ro man sage, who wrote, "exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age." A panel of 24 medical scientists here last week concluded that per- naps zotn century medicine, swamped by new magic cures, had been overlooking the value of ex ercise In the prevention of some diseases and the treatment of oth ers. ' Take coronary heart disease, for example. It and cancer are prob ably the two diseases the average man fears. Dr. Ernst Simonson of the Uni versity of Minnesota told the pan el of the "protective effect" of exercise against coronary heart di sease. He said a study of 2.500.- 000 British workers showed that tnose who did heavy work, such as mining and farming, had a far lower death rate from this ail ment than those who did light tasks, such as desk workers, hair dressers, or employes in factory jods requiring little physical ef fort. The reason would seem to be obvious. Man Is a sweating ani mal lull of animal energy, and working up a real physical sweot helps keep him relaxed and heal thy. Isn't it a simple fact of our civil ization that too many people, both at work and play, spend too many hours in fixed sitting or stand ing postures? The barber who stands all day in one spot goes home and sits all evening hunch ed over a television set watching players get the exercise he him self needs. Tne tensions build up in our Is Disease Natural? af 1 c7JIv f V ' 4 even longer than man. Manti of the diseases which onlq a few u.ears ago were great threats to everu. household ' are now of little concern. Simple immunizations administered bif iiour physician can prevent smallpox, lockjaw, diphtheria, and whooping cough. We maintain a complete line of biologicals. 'fir The frhneir olruf ttora J8yJimmy Hatlo BOYLE white collar and light Job workers. They complain of being always tired. But they are really more bored than tired. It is the lack of real exercise, the bottled up real energy that turns in frustration and attacks their own minds, that bores tnem into a feeling of weary sickness. The other day I asked a doctor I know, whose waiting room is always thronged: "Couldn't half the people who come to see you cure themselves of what is really wrong with them if they -spent an hour walking in the open air every day, and got one more hour of sleep every night?" Probably," he said. Then, since he likes to point out how doctors are killing themselves through ov erwork, I asked: "Wouldn't it cure everything that Is wrong with you, too?" "It probably would," he admit ted. "But I can't find the time. I'm simply too busy." Does this make sense? People tensed up from lack of physical exercise go for treatment to a doc tor, tensed up himself for the same reason! Both patient and physician look for an answer In a new kind of magic pellet or pill. Who can win on this fashionable merry-go-round? The next time you feel vague ly tired and cross and go to your doctor, and find him looking a bit pale round the grills, too, why not remnd him of old Cicero and say: "Cut out the capsules, Doc. Let's you and me just do 25 deep knee bends together and a few pushups .from the floor. Then let's the both of us walk all the way home." You'll both sleep like children that night, and the doc maybe won't even charge you for an of fice visit. I said maybe. Remember what happened to the old Romans after they started sneering at Cicero and became so lazy that the only exercise they got was ordering slaves to peel them grapes? They lost an em pire. OIL,.

Never was the plush carpet deep er and rolled out with more pomp and ceremony to the visiting fire men, or was the soft soap spread with more polished grace for much hung upon giving the proper pre sentation to these congressmen, nothing was overlooked for in the hands of these men rest the rec ommendation of a $500,000,000 plunge by the Bureau of Reclama tion into the tax payer's pocket, Barnum played with pennies. Everything was letter perfect for this was the "big" show, the cul mination of twelve years of effort, and numerous rehearsals so the actors would know their lines with professional perfection.- It was a wonderful show that should greatly Impress the congressmen; of course a few stinkers were ex pected to appear and voice their disapproval what a shame it is that some people Just cannot let a community have its fling at the path of glory and the generous tax payer's pocket book. If you have never attended one of these spectacles organized by the Bureau, or its rival lor "pork barrel" drippings, the Army Engi neers, you have really missed something in this life incidental ly you paid for it. From time to time, this column has carried some news about this fantastic boondoggle, a project that will cost the American Taxpayer, hundreds of millions. But I guess or Russia for a Communist attack anywhere? Not necessarily, Dulles said. He said he wanted to emphasize in his Jan. 12 talk not the word "instant ly" so much as the word "capac ity" to retaliate instantly. On March 29, in another speech, Dulles called for "united action" against communism In Southeast Asia. Then he dashed off last week to London and Paris to get prom ises of united action from the French and British. They promised only to look Into It. Meanwnue in Marcn Eisennower told a news conference this country would not get Into a war unless Congress declared it. " Dulles, in a news conference and a magazine article, said under some circumstances, such as an attack on American allies in Eu rope, Elsenhower could order a counterattack without waiting for Congress. At another news conference March 17 Elsenhower tried to ex plain what he meant the first time by saying that If this country was attacked he wouldn't have to wait for Congress. , EXECUTION VIENNA.

Western ob servers believed one of those killed was Litcretiu Patrascanu, former Justice minister who was accused in 1949 of spying for the United States.

The Bureau of Reclairu. tion starred its dream by breakim the news gently to the public, Jm a petty 8207,334,000 Is aU that h required to construct this wonder, ful dream. Those of us who an well acquainted with the "optlrni. atic" estimates of the Bureau en. gineers must admit that we were a little surprised that they should pick such a figure to begin with . However, I guess this Is "chicken feed", after all, compared with the "grand plan" the Bureau trotted out from under cover on the eve. ning of Monday March 12, mi when the dreamers called in Calif ornia's Democratic, congressmen and briefed them on the "wonder ful plan" under the greatest of hushed secrecy, behind "closed doors." Amidst all the secrecy, that Is encompassed in an EUery Queen thriller the engineers revealed their dream to dam the Klamath River with an 813 foot monument to theft' cleverness, at Ah Pah near rhe mouth of the Klamath. The waters of the Klamath wouH then back far up the Trinity Valley and a short 60 mile tunnel under the Bully Choop Mountains would bring 6,000 000 acre feet of water into Ihe Sac ramento Valley. The waters ol the Klamath were carefully apportion ed in this starry eyed plan where, by the Klamath would replace one million acre feet of Colorado River water now consumed by Los Angel, v es. This simple little program would only cost the country (the American Taxpayer) 88,360,000,000., In this dream, the Klamath was only the beginning sines north of it, on the Oregon coast the dream ers stated, there were "other short fat rivers," the Rogue, the Ump qua and the Smith which could be made to flow into California "at slightly greater cost." Good old bargain basement stuff served Up in an atmosphere of political in trigue. After dealing with the figures of the Ah Pah dream It Is little won der that the Bureau felt the 82011 million for the Trinity would look like peanuts. Ordinarily they would have started the program off at 840 or 850 million In their usual "optimistic" estimates, and r Mak ing of "optimistic" estimates there are many critics ol the Bur eau who have a much stronger term for these pretenses. As a sample of bureaucratic "optimism" I note that on 31 pro jects of the Bureau, the original cost of which was estimated at 81,682,488,174 eventually increased to 85,252,404,165 a meager 212 per cent. The Central Valley Project started out at 8170,000,000, much less than the Trinity, however, it is now up over 8581,886,000 and still going strong. Hungry Horse, the engineers assured us would only cost 838,648,000, now It's up to $108,800,000; they piously cried that the Colorado Big Thompson would be a bargain at $44,000,000, now it Is up to $150,503,000; the Davis Dam, just couldn't cost over $41, 200,000 now they have It up to $114,438,000. Can you blame me for saying: "Pardon my yawn," when we arc told the "Trinity Wonder" will only cost $207 million, however when they filed their plans for wa ter rights these truthful engineers give an estimate according to the applications of $497,952,000 That 8 only 140 per cent My!
