LITTLE PEOPLE'S PUZZLE
Pair Collaborate On Book Of Desert Life, Homesteaders
West Forgot
His Partner
By OSWALD JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
There are so many good habib
a bridge player can acquire it is
o shame to .find them picking uj
bad ones.
One of the worst is that of
playing singles. West had all the
aces, plus the queen of clubs
and jack of diamonds so w h e n
South was mean enough to open
the bidding in front of him West
wasn't really disturbed. After all.
be had 60 on score and it seemed
sound strategy to bid no-trump
and try to get in 150 honors,
plus the rubber bonus.
South continued his nasty way
with a bid of two hearts and
now West realized that maybe
the singleton ace of hearts was
not really good for no-trump and
he tried three clubs.
He had no problem after South
went to three hearts. Surely East
could take a trick or so and West
had those four aces. He doubled
and opened his four of spades.
South's queen won the trick and
a heart lead fell to West's ace.
Now West panicked and for some
reason led his ace of clubs. When
East could not trump the sec
ond club South showed his hand,
conceding the last two aces.
Where did West go wrong? He
failed to let his partner get into
the act. West should have doubled
one heart to ask East to bid
East would have obliged with
two diamonds. West could have
raised to four if necessary and
there would 'have, been no trouble
making four, or even five, odd.
Q The bidding has been:
South West North East
1 4 Pass 2 V Pass
4 4 Pass 5 4 Pass
5 . Pass 6 4 Pass
You, South, hold:
4AKQJ 87 6 3 4A6 5 48 3
What do you do?
A Pass. Your partner has
heard all your bids and has set
tled for a small slam. Trust his
judgment.
TODAY'S QUESTION
Instead of bidding six spades
, your partner floes to six dia
monds over your live diamonds.
What do you do?
Answer Tomorrow

FORT ROCK R. A. (Rube'
Long. Fort Rock stockman,
and E. R. Jackman of Corval
lis, retired Oregon State Univer
sity extension specialist, are co
authors , of The Oregon Desert,
a book to be published within
the year by Caxlon Publishing
Company. Caldwell, Idaho.
The book is the first to tell tlie
story of the pioneering and de
veloping of the desert and the
life of the homesteaders.
Ninety-six illustrations will de
pict animal life as well as inci
dents from the life of a buckaroo
and the days of freighting as
settlers arrived. Four pages of
color photos record the vividness
of desert flowers and plants.
The authors are long time
friends and co-workers. While the
Oregon desert has been home to
Long ever since he can remem
ber, Jackman acquired his fond
ness for tins vast land of the
sagebrush during nearly 40 years
w ith the extension service.
The story of their lives is as
interesting and colorful as they
hope readers will find their book.
At the same time that Long
accumulated his lanch holdings,
he acquired a host' of friends.
Successful ranching included the
battle with the agricultural de
pression following World War I.
Long declares that his accom
plices were "good weather, good
friends and good luck. But mak
ing friends just comes naturally
for Rube Long as he serves on
numerous community, county
and state committees and boards.
Jackman took his teachings to
farm meetings and tours, visiting
half tlie some 63.000 farms and
ranches througlwul the stale as;
he blazed the trail for many of
Oregon's major agricultural ad
vances. "I think the state of Oregon
got back the tax dollars spent
on me. he says. "For one
thing, I met so many fine peo
ple, made so many friends, and
in general had such a hilariously
good time, that I was almost
ashamed to take pay for it."
i He admits that by super will
power lie always took it.)
And so these two have made
the state their neighborhood.
Each has experienced rural
America and a lesser amount of
material wealth as their person
alities were shaped.
Rube came to north Lake Coun
ty as a toddler when his father,
Lon Long, bought a half section
and moved the family from Lake
view at the turn of the century.
Rube's ancesters had come west
in wagon trains and his father
was among the first to bring
cattle to eastern Oregon, losing
them m the Bannock War of 1878
At Christmas Lake, the near
est neighbor for some years was
18 miles away, the nearest post
office 30 miles, and the nearest
doctor 100 miles. Travel was by
horseback. "Father owned fine
horses and I cannot remember
when I learned to ride," Rube
states in his autobiography sup-
plied for the book. Groceries and
dry goods were bought once a
year and freighted in from Pnne-
ville or Medford, using four
horses and a big wagon.
Then came the homesteaders
and almost overnight tliey be
came a part of a sizeable com
munity called "Lake." where
his mother was tlie first postmas
ter. She had taught the three
children to read and write, but
with tlie homesteaders came
school held in one of their shacks.
They walked or rode horses the
3'i miles to attend.
An irregular high school career
followed completion of the eighth
grade, w ith usual attendance dur
ing the winter season.
"At the age of eight I got a
job as a wrango with a cow out
fit. Wages were 50 cents a day
and hours from daylight to dark,"
Rube recalls. By the time he was
14, he was getting $50 a month,
a man's wages, as buckaruo for
some of the big outfits.
With debts paid off and a new
start at the close of the big de
pression, Long tied himself to
horse activities. Between wran
gling dudes in tlie Cascades dur
ing the summer and capturing
w ild horses on the desert, in part
nership with Jim Schroder, he
accumulated enough to buy some
land and cons.
"I am one of those lucky fel
lows who seem to be standing
in the light when the right peo
ple are looking," says Long of
such recognition as he received
a few years ago in being named
"Oregon Grassman of the Year."
Much of his work with agricul-We read, but it certainly ran into
tural groups has revolved around
grassland management which has
liecome a kind o( gospel with
Rube Long.
At the same time that Rube
rode the trails of Christmas Lake
Valley, Jackman was at home
in the Flathead Valley near Kal
ispell, Mont. His ancestors came
from Maine where the town of
Jackman is reported to be farth
est north of any U.S. town south
of Alaska.
"On our farm we grew hay,
grain, potatoes, and some live
stock. Tlie land was rather poor
and we saw very little money.
No one told us that we were ill
housed and ill clothed. We were
surely not ill fed, and it seems,
looking back, that we were ex
ceptionally happy," says Jack
man. Outstanding in his memory are
the hours spent in family read
ing. There were four children in
tlie family. "As soon as we could
read, each took his turn reading
aloud for from one to two hours
every evening," he recalls.
"1 can remember that wc al
ways clamored for 'one more
chapter.' We read works of Dick
ens, Poe, Stevenson, Lew Wal
lace, Scott, Jules Verne, Kipling.
Mark Twain, and a great deal of
poetry. Wc even read aloud such
books as The Wandering Jew by
Eugene Sue and some of the oth
er French authors, especially Du
mas, Balzac, and Victor Hugo.
1 can't know how many books
tlie hundreds.'
This family reading, Jackman
feels, has made tlie greatest con
tribution to his teaching and writ
ing career.
His school days paralleled those
of his co-autlior. It was a three
mile walk to grade school and
an eight mile horseback ride to
high school. In high school tliey
were not so well dressed as
many, nor was there any money to
spend for extras, but "we could
surely read rings around the oth
ers." Before going to college. Jack
man worked as a hired man for
a year, earning $25 a month,
plus room and board.
He recalls his trip to enter
college. "Father took me in a
buckboard to Somers. There 1
boarded a big old stern wheel
steamer for a 35 mile trip down
Flathead Lake to Poison. I then
took a four-hourse stage for 75
miles to Bavalli where I rode a
day coach to Bozcman, he relates.
Even though college attendance
was spasmodic, working his way,
he felt that he got as much out
of his schooling as anyone else.
"I got 20 cents an hour at the
college (or work around the
greenhouse and worked at a
small dairy for room and board.
I put in eight hours a day at
the dairy, getting up at 3 a.m.
and going to bed between 11 and
12 p.m. Aside from being sleepy
most of the time, it didn't hurt
me any," he tells.
His greatest contribution to cd
Vcation, Jackman feels, is that
he has proven that knowledge
doesn't have to be dull. An an
nual report, a circular letter, or
a news article can all be writ
ten in an interesting way. As he
puts it, "I tried always to make
new facts palatable and even ex
citing." Of course, this led to writing.
In contributing to nearly every
farm paper in America, Jack
man has tried to invest each idea
with clarity, interest, and humor.
Now retired, Jackman spends
much time writing. "I have ap
pointed myself a committee of
one to get down on paper things
that seem important to me," he
says. Working with Herman Oli
ver of John Day, he put down
some of the history of gold min
ing, ranching, and banking in a
typical isolated valley of the
West. Tliey titled their book, Gold
and Cattle Country.
"Now Rube Long and I have
tried to describe the desert, and
how to succeed there, one must
be alert to pick up every dollar
that shows itself in the commu
nity. We have tried to show des
ert life without being stuffy,' he
says of (lie forthcoming book.
In his county stories in the
"Oregon Farmer," Jackman has
tied down the agricultural history
of each Oregon county, connect
ing dt with the broad sweep of
history in tlie West. "And," lie
adds, "if moth and rust do not
corrupt too badly, I may yet have
time to tell of some other part
of Oregon.
Perfect Lady Has
Pick-up's Problem
NO MONEY DOWN ON CREDIT AT WARDS-JUST SAY "CHARGE IT!"
...
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 16-
year-old girl with a very guilty
conscience. A few weeks ago I re
turned home
from a trip. It
was an all-night
train ride and I
sat up in the
vista-dome.
A very good
looking guy was
sitting up there.
too. I noticed
him right away but pretended
not to. Finally he came over and
asked if he could sit -next to
me. I said, "O.K."
I'm ashamed to tell you that
after about an hour of conversa
tion I let him kiss me. Alto
gether I would say he. kissed ime
about 12 times. He got off the
train an hour earlier than I did
and promised to write! So far 1
haven't heard from him.
I am really a perfect lady and
this is the first time I ve ever
done such a thing. Now I'm
ashamed of myself because he
probably thinks l m a cheap pick
up. My girl friend says I shouldn't
feel ashamed because I'm a very
affectionate person by nature and
this is my way of giving tnend
ship. What are your views? -VISTA-DOME
TRAVELER
Dear Vista: Use your d o in e.
Girl, you gave a lot more than
friendship so don't try to kid Old
Granny Annie.
A girl who puts such a cheap
price tag on her kisses that she
would hand them put to a Strang
cr on a train can hardly be con
sidered a lady.
Dear Ann Landers: I'm i
grown woman who started to read
your column for kicks. Now I find
mvsc f. ike so many others, say
ing, "I never dreamed I'd be
writing to Ann Landers."
Mv husband's older brother
was married several months ago,
We were not able to attend tlie
wedding because it was a long
distance away and we had very
little notice. From all we have
heard, Howard married a lovely
woman and we are delighted.
Howard and his bride arc
coming to visit us in August and
I'm ashamed to admit I've been
worrying about of all things
how to greet her.
Should I shake hands and say
"We're so happy to have you in
the family?" Or should I give
Iter an affectionate kiss on the
check? My husband says some
people don't like to be too chum
my at first meeting. What do you
sayV-MKS. KNOW NOTHING
Dear Mrs.: Don't decide until
you meet. Then let your feelings
guide you.
If she's a reserved, stand-offish
type, you'll know Immediately
that a friendly handshake is suf
ficient. If she's affectionate and
outgoing you'll be comfortable
about kissing her.
Dear Ann Landers: For the
third summer in a row our boss's
wife has gone to visit her mother
for a week. And, as he has done
two years previously, he h a s
brought his three bratty kids to
the office every day because he
can't get a sitter. I'm sure there's
not enough money in the world to
pay a girl to sit with those sav
ages. They are 11, 9 and 8 years
old and totally undisciplined.
The three of them run between
the desks bumping into typewrit
er carriages, fighting, screaming.
upsetting mail baskets and using
the telephones. One of them has
to be taken down the hall to the
bathroom every half hour.
The boss h;i3 managed to book
himself for business luncheons ev
ery day this week and we have
been instructed to take them to
lunch. It is our unanimous opin
ion that the boss is nuts, and
we would like your advice on
what to do about this. UP TO
HERE
Dear Up: The boss may very
well be nuls but he's still the
boss.
The situation sounds hideous
and each of you has the right to
tell him so. But be prepared to
leave because this may be the
price you'll have to pay for speak
ing out.
