Page 20 The INDEPENDENT, October 16, 2008 County Fair 4-H results finished 50 Years Ago This Month From page 9 This has been an unusually hot, dry summer, the driest in 36 years, and farmers in Scoggins valley have been standing out in the sun too long, or second: some of this year’s corn crop has found it’s way into other than legitimate channels. Rather than flood out the entire Nehalem valley, farms, highways, houses, valuable tree farm areas, not to mention practically all of the areas’ spawning grounds for anadromous fishes, I offer the al- ternative plan. Mr. Scott and his friends could haul rock and gravel out of the dry creek beds that they have pumped dry and pile this rock on the Trask mountain area. When they have reached an al- titude of around ten thousand feet lo and behold they will have a snow capped mountain and the re- sulting glacier melt will enable them to water their beans, even if we have another summer as dry as this one in the next thirty-six years. I am sure some engineering firm would consider this alternate plan possible also. Especially if they can get some one, like Uncle Sam’s taxpayers to pick up the check.
