Just back from a hack roads
junket to the forest and mountain
area of the Deschutes and Wil
lamette forests where we went in
search of cooler weather.
We should have stood at home.
It was cooler. I'm sure of it.
But we had an enjoyable time
o! it anyway, saw a lot of coun
try that I hadn't been into in 20
odd years and got some of the
itch out of our feel.
Left here last week with Dick
Eimers and, to accommodate him
in seeing country that he hadn't
been in before, went up the West
side. That was about the prettiest
and. coolest part of the trip, really.
We swung up through Fort Klam
ath, paused for a brief moment at
Kimball Park which we found
neat as a pin and pretty as ever
and then on over ihe old Sun
Mountain Road to Highway 97. Too
hazy for pictures.
Paused in Chemult for a last
minute ice check and I hen took
ofl lor Highway 58. turned on it
and went on to the Elk Lake junc
tion. The hard way In go, believe
me, in through Davis Lake, Crane
Prairie and lhalaway. Pretty coun
try if you like lodgcpolc and pum
ice dust. And I do. Not loo much
travel on these roads although Ihc
camps along the way were pretty
well filled-out with fishermen and
vacationing families.
Just this side of Elk Lake we
ran into a construction delay. The
Forest Service, I guess, is really
putting a road in to lie into the
blacktop on the other side of Ihe
lake. We got through after a short
wait and found F.Ik Lake loaded.
I mean loaded. People, boats, cars
and repeal.
We didn't stop here but went on
tip the blacktop to Devils Lake,
which I hadn't seen in many a
long year. It was loaded, Ino.
Sparks Lake, just on up Ihe pike.
was pretty full and we turned off
for Todd Lake. The last time I
had been there was way hack be
fore the war when my dad and
I went up for a camping trip.
In those days it was a (airly isolat
ed little place with only a dirt
road going in. Now it has a grav
eled road, trailer parking space, a
public camp and all kinds of pic
nic facilities.
Still searching nut a lithe pri
vacywe only had sleeping bags
and felt pretty much left out of it
with the trailer crowd all around
us we look Ihe dirt road for Sis
ters that winds up over Ihe ridge,
pasises just under Ihe Broken Top
crater and then drops down
through the hills to the flats again.
Up near the top of Ihe bench
we found a faint cat trail leading
off into the brush, put the Jeep to
it and ended up on a little creek
meadow. -
It was really a lovely camp and
never boresome. You could always
pause and listen tn the mosquitoes
talk it over. According to the alti
meter in the pickup we were at
6,800 feel. All around were snow
banks. And yet It stayed hot. I
don't understand it.
Just up from the camp the creek
ran under a solid bridge of snow
and ice aiftl up from Ihe creek
on a massive rockslide was an
ice cave with a ceiling some four
feet above Ihe rocks. It was really
quite spectacular and I wished 1
had remembered my flash Run for"
the camera in order to lake pic
turps.
But it was sure nice to spread
the beds out on Ihe meadow grass
stretch out and look up at the
bright stars and listen lo Ihe wind
in the trees and the rush of Ihe
creek hurrying on its way to ob
livion in the lowlands.
Enormous T-hone steaks grilled
over a bed of charcoal ,i we really
went first class since weight was
no problem I did nothing to make
the picture less agreeable.
But it was still too hot to sleep.
And every lime you kicked the

staged a commando raid that left

his ase as 70, whereas he is only
ill). Apologies and all that ... but
i( he'd let his wile know the
truth. ...
Incidentally, sometimes credit is
overlooked. It happened in the re
cent account of the Hildehrand
lire. Men from many sources were
used lo combat the blaze, includ
ing prisoners from Ihe county jail.
We listed all the groups of men
gien to us, but somewhere along
the line someone overlooked a 20
man crew from Buck Springs in
Douglas County who contributed a
great deal, toward corralling the
fire,
l.et's hasten to make amends
and extend congratulations to all
who look part.
While w-e seem to he dwelling
on wrong names, let's talk about
another hit of misplaced credit.
In Ihe account of the platform
and steps built on the railroad
locomotive in Veterans Memorial
Park, City Manager G. S. Vergeer,
and even Al Condrey, liaison be
tween Ihe cily and the railroad
committee, lisled Norman Jones
as the contractor who built them.
After giving Norman credit in a
Sunday editorial, I find that credit
was due Joe Jones, not Norman.
But beyond shifting credit to
where it rightfully belongs, we
will change nothing else. It was a
wonderful job, much needed, and
well done.
Welcome lo George Price who
took over the duties as Park and
Recreation director on July 15.
Many boxing fans remember
George very well for his fistic
talent which carried him so capa
bly through a number of encoun
ters in the Klamath Falls Armory
rena and also during his stint in
the Navy.
Price is busy these days finding
his way around, and taking a firm
grip on the job vacated by Bob
Bonney.
George formerly was assistant
recreation director for Ihe Willa
malane recreation district ii
Springfield.
From my knowledge of Price,
Ihc city has acquired an able and
resourceful park and recreation di
rector.
Welcome aboard, George.
On Ihe brighter side, fresh proof
that want-ads in the Herald and
Nevvs gets results comes from an
employe in Ihe classified ad de
partment. Mary Marg Addison.
She advertised Sunday that she
had a little "orange kitten with
while feel" that was looking for a
good home. She reports at least
seven calls, bringing a good home
for one killen, a home for still
another kitlen. and calls for others
she did not have. ,
Her comments were pointed.
"This is proof," she said, "that
there is a good market for little
kittens, and those people who drop
them off in the street . . . (being
a young lady, she left it at that
point'.
Let's leave it al the same point.

Not only is Ihe lire season get
ting underway early this year, but
it already has a head start. A
total of 2.1 rangeland and forest Castro's final victory
ocralic and Iherelore anti-communistic."
That paragraph was phrased
nearly two years in advance of
fires have been reported in Klam
ath County in the last seven days.
Kangeland is secondary consider
ation to timber with KFPA, but ihc
grass fires can spread into heavi-
y timbered areas mighty fast.
This year's fires are so hot and
the grass and brush is consumed
so quickly and so completely that
there isn't as much smoke as is
usually associated with the lores!

ed out.
They are so hoi and so fast.
however, that it has taken Ihe
combined cooperation of all fire
lighting and volunteer azencies to
control them as quickly as they
have.
Volunteers have been remark
ably quick on the scene, accord
ing lo the district warden. A. N.
Kelsey had Ihe first bulldozer on
last week's big fire and KFPA is
still using it. Weyerhaeuser Tim
ber Company, Loveness Lumber
nf Malin, Leonard Putnam, George
Stacy and Lowell Jones Logging
Company had men, bulldozers and
other equipment on Ihe fires. In
addition, the Klamath reservation
crews directed by Vic Sisson and
Hilly Crawford have been on the
inb for a week. Klamath County
Sheriff Murray Britton found 34
volunteers from the county jail.
Our cooperation from Kingsley
Field has been nothing less than
magnificent," Mr. Wardell said.
"A good number of the men from
the Air Force base volunteer for
nil of their off days and we had
a standby volunteer list of 20 men
from the base for the nine fires
which broke out Saturday nighl
and Sunday."
Klamath County has had hotter
weather, but not for 25 years or
longer has it had total conditions
so ripe for fire in Ihe woods.

It's well to keep some things a

31. The firms employ about 58.-
onn production workers. The steel
union represents about 30.500 of
them. A strike would shut down
about 50 per cent nf the country's
aluminum production.
The week-old strike in Ihe basic
steel industry has idled a half
miilinn workers and shut down
about 90 per cent of Ihe nation's
steel output. It has brought un
employment to more than 40.000
workers in allied fields coal,
trucking and railroads.
Joseph P. Finncgan, head of the
Federal Mediation Service, talked
with both sides Monday but said
he saw no early solution. More
talks were set for today.
McDonald said he would step
into the aluminum talks perhaps
today.
The union strategy apparently is
to try to win a wage increase in
aluminum, then use this gain as
a wedge to end the resistance of
the steel companies to any in
crease in labor costs.
The Steelworkers seek the same
annual 15-cent hourly waae in
crease in aluminum that they seek
in steel.
Averace hourly wages in steel
were $3.10 when Ihe strike heean.
Aluminum wages range from $2.76
to $2.91 an hour.
President Eisenhower held two
meetings in Washington Monday
to discuss the steel strike. Both
were private. One was his daily
hrielins on the situation by James
