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. New discoveries were made

mention of the fact that Cap stated
that all the available timber on the
reservation had already been cut
off. That was back In the day when
they did their cutting on a water-
powered mill and had to back off
every two or three inches to allow
the saw to get up enough power
for another cut. There was also a
water-driven flour mill on the riv

EASTER MORN
By F. Elsworth relict!
In every throbbing bud and
bloom
That fills the earth with cheer
I see thee come from out the
tomb .
Thou risen Lord appear,
In every wind a fragrance sweet
That makes the heart rejoice
Where warbling throats, their
songs repeat
I hear in these thy voice.
In every lily pure and white
That holds the morning dew
In every streamlet, mead and
dell
I see thee passing through,
The shimmering bosom of the
lake
The slumbering oaks and rills
Awaken from their icy beds
And with new rapture thrills.
The little acorn 'neath the mold
When springtime sun shines
bright
will burst Its prison bars aside
And come forth to the light,
I see anew our risen Lord
Who In the tomb did lay
The prison bars were broken
down
The stone was rolled away.
There's many hearts that's bound
with sin
Whose lives are dark and gray
Our risen Lord will break these
bonds
The stone he'll roll away,
No prison bars can hold the
Lord
Of heaven and earth and skies
He too will give to us new life
When from the tomb we rise.
So sing with joy this eastcr morn
Let all the earth be gay
He rose to live for evermore
The stone he rolled away.

NEW YORK Wl The medical
profession has come up with anoth
er tremendous wonder drug.
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

"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.

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

who held a hearing In that city
In regards the ambition of the
Bureau of Reclamation to construct
the "best . water and power pro
ject in the United States," at
least that is the way the "greatest
show" was billed.
Never was the plush carpet deep

with more polished grace for much

sentation to these congressmen,

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

If you have never attended one
of these spectacles organized by
the Bureau, or its rival lor "pork

neers, you have really missed
something in this life incidental

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

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. ,

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

applications of $497,952,000 That 8
