Although we had toured the area In a skimpy sort of fashion earlier, this time we were taken around on the plush tour with engineers on hand to explain everything, open the correct gates, get us in and out of such projects as Clearwater number two power plant, Soda Springs and all the rest of the lashup. It Is a trip well worth the while of anyone who hasn't been up there since the old days when it was a long hard hike Into Toketee Falls. (Now you can drive to within a few hundred feet of the pretty little fall, but you still have to clamber down the steep trail If you want to take pictures looking tip the fall.) There are miles of ditches lead ing to nenstocks for the various power units, all gunlte lined and carrying the waters of the various rivers and streams to their duties s power makers. There are dams of all kinds, diversion tiams, straight up and down penstocks (penstock being the big pipes tnat carry the water to the turbines. I thusly creating your electrical pow- er leaping from cliff tops and plunging down to the lonely little plants at the bottom. When the project Is finished there will be over a hundred miles of good highways turned over to the forest service for general use by the public. But there is no re striction on most of those roads now. You're as welcome as the breeze to drive up and take a looksee. The baby of J. C. Boyle, vice president nd general manager of C o p c o, the project is entirely unique among power projects. There was a pressing need to pro duce the thing as cheaply as possi ble, otherwise the power wouldn't do anyone any good. And in bring ing this about they have perfected, or nearly so, the remote plant. It gives you an eery feeling to stand there high In the Cascades and watch a huge turbine whirl away without a tender of any kind within miles. Hidden up there in the trees Is a plant that Is so high ly perfected that unless some vital part snaps It will go on day after day doing Its Job without the need of a maintenance crew. The plants are built along the CAUGHT IN BT DEB ADDISON TOTAL RETAIL TRADE on a na tionwide basis for all kinds of stores In 1954 should about match the all time record rolled up In 1953. That's the opinion of A. W. Zel omek, economist of 'the Internation al Statistical Bureau and reported by Harvy Runner In the N Y. Her ald Tribune. A "moderate Increase" In busi ness, now foreseen for the last six months of this year, will be suffi cient to push '54 sales to a point close to last year's. Zelomek also believes that unit volume should show an increase over compar able 1953 figures "In view of low er prices." Declaring that the factors con tributing to a less favorable spend ing trend have about run their course, he noted that future spend ing should assume a more normal pattern. Zelomek believes that de spite the liberal spending for auto mobiles since the end of the war. prospects for their sales are still favorable. New family lormations will help to stimulate Interest in auto sales, as well as Interest In ether consumer durable goods. Most of the nation's retailers are chalking up fairly good Increases In fur sales so far In August, re ports Women's Wear Dally. The average Increase over a year ago la far from sensational, but most observers are hopeful that more substantial Improvements will be felt when the cool weather sets in. The heck of It la that this stimu lation from easing the excise tax on furs Is being shown in furs from beaver to Persian lamb without any mention of muskrat. Klamath muskrat trappers could stand a revival In the rat pelt market. Again last year. Americans earned money at a record break ing clip, propelling the average per capita Income past the previous record aet in 1953. The average tor 'ach man, woman, and child in he U.S. was 1170 4 per cent above the previous total of siM4 according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Oross national Income was cal culated at 1370.8 billion, which was per cent higher than In '53. This total rose more than the average per capita because there were 3.7 million more people to share this pie than there were In 1MJ.

A big saving in equipment cost right there. There are a lot of little twists and kinks, too. that add interest to the trip. There are steps built Into the water-carrying ditches in order that stray deer who lall into the swift little concrete ditches can get out before they hit the gratings. And. apparently, they work be cause to date they haven't found any dead deer floating around the plants and In other spots they have had to go so far as to fence ditches to keep deer and elk out of them.

There are grand views from the roads, you can go to Medford and Koseburg from there, too. There are villages set up for the care takers, stores, and always the earth movers hacking away at building more roads, more ditches, more dams. It's a trip that Is certainly well worth your time. And we predict that ten years from now the area served by these roads now used in construction will be one of the most popular camping and picnicking grounds in the area.

They tell me the level has dropped be tween four and five feet already. They are planning on skimming off eight or nine feet before poisoning the lake to get rid of trash fish.

Altaic' 8-H ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McCLEOD The saga of the little schooner "Sonora" is one of the most amaz ing stories of exploration of the Northwest Coast,' this miniature thirty-six foot consort of the big ed seas that few modern day thlr- ; ty-slx foot vessels with the navi- I gatlon aids of a modern world (would care to tackle. The So- nora" was well packed with Its -:crew oi 18 onicers ana men, dui then, since only half the number would be above dec on a -watcn the space below was not overly crowded. In spite of the "So nora 's" two masts and heavy sail it was no match In saili ngwith the ship "Santiago," and, so not to become lost behind on the un known sea the smaller vessel was kept in tow of the larger until they actually came In contact with the coast. When the actual explor ation of the shore was undertaken, the smaller vessel by reason of its lesser draft could approach mucm more closely and discover any channels that the big ship must follow. When Captain Heceta, the com mander of the "Santiago" and the expedition cast anchor at, Point Orenvlllee. In the present state of Washington about half way be tween the mouth of the Columbia River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, on July 13, 1775 and set foot upon the mainland on the 14th, to formally take possession of it in the name of the king of Spain. The "Sonora" anchored few miles farther north of the big ship. Heceta found the Indians friend ly and a few were present at the ceremony of occupation, they had visited the big ship in a canoe bringing furs to barter and Invited the Spaniards to land. Bodega, commanding the "Sonora." like wise found the Indians friendly where he had cast anchor, they visited him in large numbers and were eager to trade, especially for articles of Iron, they were very demonstrative in assurances of friendship and urged the strangers to visit their rancheria. Bodega de cided he would send a party ashore to obtain wood and water, trusting the friendly disposition of the Indians. Six men under the command of the boatswain Pedro Santa Ana, were accordingly sent to land with the small boat, the Sonora" had but one. The Indians some three hundred in number, were hidden in the woods near the landing, and no sooner had the Spaniards left the boat than the Indians rushed to attack them. Two sprang into the sea and were drowned; the rest were immediately killed and torn to pieces, the boat also being brok en up for the nails. Bodega could offer no help to his trapped men, THE DOCTOR SAYS BX EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. "My eight year - eld daughter," WTltes Mrs. A., "has had pin worms off and on 10 times In less than three years. I have taken her to four doctors but nothing seems to help her. She Is a nervous child and restless at ntght." Mrs. P. says she is at her wits end about the ssme problem, "I'm a mother of small children and have found they have pinworms and am almost beside myself try ing to find a cure." These letters show whst Is well known to doctors, that pinworms are hard to get rid of. Often the reason for this is not that they can't be eliminated but that re infection Is all too easy. In fam ilies ot several children or in institutions where many young sters live close together the nroblem is toughest to deal with I because one youngster may get rid of them only to catch them again from another. Pinworms are one of several kinds of animal parasites which have a liking for the human In testinal tract. They live In com fort Inside the bowel, usually lay ing their eggs near the outlet and thus causing Itching in this area. Youngsters with pinworms are likely to be nervous and irritable, suffer from difficulty in sleeping, snd msy even have convulsions.

The Indians then came off the shore lit their canoes and surrounded the schooner In an at tempt to prevent her departure; but one canoe venturing too near had six of its men killed by gun lire of the Spaniards. On rejoin ing the ship. Bodega and some others wanted to march with 30 men against the Indians to avenge the massacre but a council ae. cided such an act would be tin. wise. The council also discussed the expediency of sending the "So nora" back to the Monterey on account of its small size and the difficulty ot keeping the vessels together In tne rougn weauier. do de&a and Maurelle who com manded the "Sonora" vigorously objected being sent back and He ceta flnallv decided In their favor, Six men were furnished to replace the seven lost; and in the evening of the 14th the two vessels set sail. The course was westward Into the sea and bv the end of the month they had lost slightly In latitude but were over one Hun dred leagues from the coast. On the 30th a wind from the north struck the vessels and sep arated them and at dawn on the 31st and the "Sonora" could not see the "Santiago." Bodega sought for the ship in every direction that he wished to go for purposes ol exploration that is. straight out to sea. Bodega ana Maurcuc siaic in their narratives that tne separ ation was accidental, but it is sus pected that the two deliberately planned to loose tne snip acci dentally and It Is not unlikely that Heceta was likewise In the plot. Heceta knew he would be forced to turn back by his crew and Bo rirea desired to go on and was confident of success. Accordingly It was arranged that the bold ex plorer should lose sight of the ship and then use his own Judgment as to the direction in which to search for her. The little craft continued west until August 5 when the navigators thought they were one hundred and seventy leagues from land and close to latitude 46. Then favorable south-west winds began to blow, they were short of food and water, the season was late, but a council of the ship's crew decided to go on and fulfill the viceroy s in structions. On the 15th they dis covered land in the region of Sitka and thus became the first Span- lards to land In Alaska. Most of the crew was now sick with scurvey. and it was difficult to manage the small craft so Bo aega headed southward on Sep tember 8th. It was a most peri lous trip a real life adventure to match the imagination of any writer of fiction. microscope. As indicated by Mrs. A and Mrs. P treatment may be discouraging. But there are some good remedies which usually work. It they don't work the first time the motto should be "try. try again." These medicines, however, are often not rnough to bring about permanent cure, particularly if there are other children in the family who have a few parasites and are all set to pass them on again. This can happen through the use or eea linen, pajamas or other clothing, or the use of the same toilet. Consequently good hygiene is just about ss Important as treat ment. Careful washing of hands and strict avoidance of the com mon use of bedding or Inner clothing is necessary. The worried mothers who have written have reason to be discour aged but net to despair. They should keep after the treatment In spite of setbacks and should them selves practice and teach their children the hygienic measures which will help to prevent rein fection. LABOR VOTE MUNICH.

People Do Read SPOT ADS -you are! Hal Boyle NEW YORK () "Where have you been keeping yourself?" My triends have been asking lately "Haven't seen or heard from you In ages. You hiding (rom some body?" This burns me up. Hiding? Not exactly. I've just oeen appearing weekly on a summer replacement radio show. Maybe that is a form of hiding. They say that the two most anony mous Jobs in the entertainment world are: (1) Acting as a stand in target for a professional knife thrower while his wife is away hav ing a baby, and 3) appearing on a summer iiu-in radio or iv show. Well, anybody know a knife thrower about to become a father? I'm now, as we say In the trade, "at liberty." Some nasty old spon sor bought our time for another show, and off the air we went. How deeply this will cripple the Na tional Broadcasting Co.'s network only time will tell. But so far NBC hasn't even developed a limp. It wasn't a bad little show. It was one of those four-member news quiz panel programs. You know how they select the panels? Well, they pick (1) a pret ty, witty, charming girl, (3 a smart clever girl, (3 1 an anchor man who is good at wisecracks and (4) the "uh-uh" man. The "uh-uh" man 'plsys a vital role. He is the needed srea et ig norance. If he ever gets a right answer, it is by accident. His duty is simple and stern. He must know so little that any member of the audience can turn to his wife and say, "Listen to him, honey. I thought you always said I was the dumbest guy In the world.". I am not going into the reasons why I was picked for the panel. But at the end of the first show the engineer said admiringly, "Boyle, your last 'urmih' was worthy of a Barrymore." The program got off to a good start. "Variety," the bible of the entertainment field, gave it a fine pat on the back. All the letters the network received including the 37 I wrote in longhand myself were highly favorable. In fact we thought we might last as long as "uncle Tom's Cabin" until last week, when we were told: "This is the last one, kids. Sorry. You're terrific, great, wonderful. But you're only sustaining, and a sponsor wants this time for sn other show. Maybe we can try again at a later date maybe next summer." Well. If it was to be the last performance, I decided it should be our best. I did my part. I man aged to get in 43 "uh-uh," a new record for a half-hour panal quiz show. When ws were off the air, 1 leaned back expectantly. What would happen now? Everybody knows the show-must-go-on tradi tion. What about the ahow.has-to-ge off trsdition? Frankly. I thought the door would open and Brig. Oen. David Samoff. head of RCA. would enter followed by a battalion ef NBC page beys carrying champagne and caviar sandwiches. Then, wiping away his tears, Bar noff would lift his fosming glass high and say brokenly: "To a great quls panel! You have raised radio to new heights . . . brought fresh cheer to Amer ica in her hour of atress .... written an Immortal chapter in the history of the industry . . . and you shall be back, I promise you, if I have to ge out and find a sponsor myself."

But the door didn't epen We panelists looked at each other and said tentatively. "Well. . . . been niee. Be seeing you." The engineer said "So long." That was all. So brief parting.

' Sam Dawson NEW YORK un Economists will ake a back seal in the next two months in the discussion of the nation's economy. Politicians' views on the stats of business will cop the headlines. The predictions of the economists snd business executives won't be nearly as exciting. And this is doubly so because just now u.ere is an unusual degree ef agreement among tnem. It's bard to find many who predict a strong upturn in September, and October. The major tv believes the changes will be largely seasonal. The quiet summer, without any startling drops and without any signs ol a strong pickup, starts business into the fill season with conditions fairly well in hsnd but nothing in the Immediate future prornlsing much more than a nudge in the view of most econo mists and business executives who are talking. Demand for goods stays good. but unexciting. This demand coupled with production cutbacks, has enabled manufacturers to bring their inventories down to a level more than two billion dollars below a year ago. Some think the euts have about run their course now. Labor unrest causes some con cern for- the course of business this fall. A rash of strikes has spread here and there In industry. Settlements have mostly boosted production costs at a time when businessmen have been trying hard to hold them down and keep from losing customers by hiking prices. Employment holds pretty steady. The Labor Department reports that the filing of new claims for Jobless psy hs dropped to the lowest level of the year. Military orders are beainnimr to flow in Increased volume as the government gives business a nudge. , . But Washington also hands out a few shivers. One is the report that some of the many mercers which have recently made the most interesting business news are getting a close look from the Jus tice Department. Stock market Jitters also worrv businessmen. Last week's hesitan cy in the ll-month-old bull market has many wondering if the time for the bears to have at least a short Inning at bat is near at hand. And in the financial marts they note a couple of strange things. Bank loans to business aren't ris ing as they should at this time of year. But In the face of this lack ef demand, Interest rates are show ing a tendency to firm, instead of easing further. It all seems to sdd ud to a state ol balance in business just now, with all eyes on the politicians. J SEPT. 1st 337 E. MAIN ON OPENING TOMORROW WILL BE CORSAGES DOOR PRIZES MRS. JACK WALLIS OPERATOR JAMES WASHINGTON tfl This is an ABC on what President Eisenhow er has just called a "major set back" in the fight against commu nism : the French refusal last night to join a single European army. The Western Allies decided on a military alliance when, after the war, it became apparent the Com munists were determined to take , by force what they couldn't get otnerwise. Big example was sei zure of power in Czechoslovakia. The Allies created NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization un der' which they pledged to help one another In case of attack. Each member would keep its own army but there would be a general staff for planning. NATO now has 14 members. Twelve signed the NATO agree ment April 4, 1949: the United Slates, Britain, France, Italy, Ca nada, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland. Norway, Portugal, Greece and Turkey joined in February 1952. The United States contributes one third of NATO's cost. The other members put up four fifths of the forces. This country has six American divisions with NATO in Europe. West Germany was not Included in NATO. There were obvious reasons. This country, Britain and France still keeping occupation troops in Germany have not re stored her independence or what diplomats call sovereignty. Lacking sovereignty, she can't rearm. So long as she is defense less, the Russians-have a soft spot for attack. The Russians have op posed not only NATO but rearming of Germany. The Allies faced a question: How to let Germany rearm but In a way to prevent her becoming a menace to her neighbors some day, in June 1950 the Communists showed how far they were willing to go in aggression with their at tack on South Korea. Four months later, on Oct 26. 1950, Rene Pleven,, then French Premier, proposed a plan which in that early stage won approval of the French Parliament. It was the single European army Idea, called EDC the European De fense Community. This is how It shaped up: six European countries France, West Germanv, Italy, Belgium, Luxem bourg, the Netherlands wou-.d pool their armies in a single European army under a unified command of their own choosing.. Except for West Germany, all these EDC countries were already members of NATO. But whereas the other NATO allies would keep their individual armies, the EDC countries no longer would have national armies of their own. OF , 15 Featuring The Popular. CIIttLETTE WAVES MARLOW This ' single European army made up of troops from the six EDC countries would be part of NATO's defense planning. On May 27, 1952, the six EDC countries' foreign ministers signed on agreement to set it up. This did not by itself create EDC. It couldn't come into existence until the parliaments of all six countries approved. Four of them West Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Nether lands ' gave approval. The Ital ian Parliament didn't approve but was expected to when the French did. The French Parliament, rent with factions, balked. In addition, there was French fear of Germany rearmed under any circumstances, and fear, no matter how EDC was -inified, that Gerr--ny would control it. Russia play; . on these French worries. The United States and Britain looked upon EDC as essential for defense of Europe, making use of German manpower, and at the same time keeping Germany from becoming a menace as she might with her own national army. Although France had proposed EDC four years ago and France agreed to set up EDC two years ago, no French premier chanced asking Parliament, with Us hostile mood, to vote on It. The French would have felt safer tied into EDC with Germany If Britain would join EDC also. Britain wouldn't. At last the present French Pre mier and foreign minister, Pierre Oendes-France, decided to put EDC to a vote in Parliament. First he tried to get the other five EDC countries to agree to changes in the 1952 agreement which would have made EDC more a fiction than a reality. He suggested, for Instance, that EDC be on trial for eight years and that anyone of the six mem bers could veto what the other ftve wanted to do. The other live turned him down. No lover of EDC, Mendes France asked Parliament to .vote. It did, last night, against EDC. That wrecked it.
