“tired feeling” it’s time to have us check it. We use only
factory engineered and inspected parts and install them with

A Hint to the Tourist
No visitor from the east should
fail to look into a logging camp
kitchen in Oregon or Washington.
You will see mammoth modern
ranges; a multitude of every con­
ceivable pot and pan a cook could
wish for; wonderful assortments
of crockery. You will also find,
close by, a storehouse that con­
tains a vaster variety of eatables
than you’ve ever dreamed of for
your own table, even if you happen
to be vulgar-rich, like a radio
crooner. There will be an electric
icehouse big enough to garage a
tank. If your luck gets you to the
dinner table, you will find before
you what would amount to a half­
dozen seperate dinners in a first-
class hotel, and you may pick and
choose at will from all of them.
And they will be served by a
young lady, immaculate in hair­
do, dress and apron, pleasant to
the eye and congenial to the soul
of a hungry man. You will need
no phoney appetizers. The tang
of the wind in the trees and the
odors steaming up from the tables
will be enough, even if you
haven’t a half-day of falling tim­
ber to your credit.
Work in the woods is, of course,
the greatest appetizer known to
man.
Ham, Eggs and Cake
The point may well be illus­
trated by ham and eggs. A break­
fast dish more enjoyable, part­
icularly in the woods, cannot be
imagined.
For full enjoyment,
ham and eggs demand a rugged
morning appetite in the first place
and in the second, ability to digest
such solid provender with neat­
ness and dispatch. The logger at
breakfast is supplied with ham
and eggs in wholesale quantities.
Often he consumes them whole­
sale, with stacks of hot cakes,
various fruits, cereals, doughnuts,
and of course several cups of
coffee thrown in.
Another point is on cake. This
prime bakery item is a feeble and
degraded thing as it is commonly
encountered in restaurants. Even
the good housewife, following re­
cipes in women’s magazines, too
frequently makes cake that is only
fluff and goo. But your logging­
camp baker turns out cakes that
a man can get his teeth into and
which yet mingle lightly with the
more solid grub already downed.
The best pies, also, are made in
the woods.

Cream Puffs in the Pines
Brought up on a dry land home­
stead, with meals that were often
reduced to spuds and water gravey
my first logging camp meals were
amazing and wonderful indeed. I
was seventeen before I saw and
ate my first cream puff. Xt was
in Montana. The camp chef was
called “Cream Puff Fatty,” be­
cause of his famous specialty. He
was a one-legged man with a dour
disposition. A cream puff was
the last thing you’d think of in
connection with him. But I’ve
never sampled better ones that he
turned out amid the bitter roots.
The king of hot-cake makers in
all my experiences was a cook
in the Northern California sugar
pines who was as big and tough as
James J. Jeffries. He was called
“Stove Lid” Malarkey for the fame
of a battle jn his younger days
when he whipped a mob, using two
stove lids in lieu of brass knuckles
or pick handles. The Malarkey
hot-cake breakfast I never can
forget.
I can remember enough stories
of logging camp chefs to make a
book, as what old logger cannot?
Does any reader remember Bob
Graham, supreme master of corn
pone and Johnny cake? If so,
have you eaten any kind of com
bread elsewhere to compare with
his?

Farmers will benefit most of all from the Sales Tax, since almost
90% of Oregon farmers own their own farms, and thus head the list
of the state's property taxpayers.
7
Every school district in Oregon will be aided by the Sales Tax.
One-sixth of the Sales Tax revenues go direct to school districts,
which enables each district to vote special levies in like amount with--
out increasing the present property tax.
8
The Sales Tax Guarantees old age assistance, by making up
whatever is lacking from declining liquor revenues. One-sixth of Sales
Tax revenues is earmarked for that purpose.
