Wash. At the Spokane fair one can ride in a cable car across this part of the river, from which this picture was taken. (by Father Wm. O. Manner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter Church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) We entered Oregon at On­ tario. Many of the States have attractive buildings at the points where interstate roads enter them. Oregon's Tourist center at Ontario is clean and well tended inside and out. A young lady, easy to look at and knowledgeable about her state greets you. She supplies you with maps and information. We found these points in over half of the nine states we traversed. The Western States have AREA. I remember one state, in the south, Florida, used to give you free fresh orange juice as you entered. We spent a night at LaGrande. It is in Ihe north east corner of the State, a town of 10,000 population. The Western part of Oregon is arid but there are places for lum bering and farming. LaGrande is one. It lies in the Grande Ronde Valley amongst the Blue and Wallawa Mountains. Early next morning we were on our way to Pendleton, fifty miles ahead. It is at Pendleton that one of the great rodeos of the land is held. The townsfolk call it the second largest in the nation - conceding first place to San Antonio, Texas. Pen­ dleton boasts close to 15,000 population. There had not been a motel vacancy closer than LaGrande. We had gone through the town at rodeo time in 1971. There are also famous woolen knitting and weaving mills h£re. This time we were in on hand for the big parade. It was Bl(i. There were Miss Oregon, Miss Umatilla County, the Pendleton Rodeo ftueen along with their Coims at? Princesses. All were mounted on beautiful horses. There were) low slung flower arrangements!! behind each saddle. Local politicians basked in the gaze of sidewalkers. In­ dians marched. There was a twenty mule team wagon. The stores closed and the entire town celebrated. We got some items for lunch near the edge of town in a shop we found open. The lady sold us all we wanted but she looked at us as if we were demented to think of leaving town before the evening performance at the rodeo. We had a picnic lunch along the road in a rest area and wound up that night in The Dalles. Here is a town of about 10,000 population. It is the head of ocean traffic on the Columbia. Here the old Oregon Trail ended. We dropped in an old Catholic church and there witnessed an evening wedding from the last row of seats. This church is pre Civil War which is old, old, old out here. All of the afternoon of the thirteenth of September and the morning of the fourteenth we drove along the Columbia River Gorge, about 150 miles in total. It was along this Great River of the West the early pioneers traveled. Here for centuries the Indians had fished for the salmon on their way up river to spawn. Across the river lay the State of Washington its high brown hills (there has been almost no rain in the West since June 1), barring your view to the depths of the State. The river here is broad; there is commerce upon its breast, not like unto the Mississippi of course, but well worth noting. On both sides of the stream orchards of cherries, apples, pears, apricots and I know not what else blossom in the spring. Fine crops are reaped in a normal year. 1974 is subnormal (by golly in more than one way). Interstate 80N undulates along the waterway in four wide lanes. The local State Troopers patrol it well. We must have seen eight or ten cars pulled off the road with the police industriously writing out Musicians At Marian Wilt Present Concert Political Corner The Marian Central Catholic high school music department will present its first concert of the year Thursday evening, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the school gymnasium. The concert band will open the program with the "Star Spangled Banner" followed by Sousa's "El Capitain," Vaughan Williams' "Folk Song Suite," "The Rambler," and Giovanntni's "Alia Barocco." The freshmen girls' glee club will then sing "Sabbath tickets. At a rest stop I visited with one trooper. "You sure enforce the 55 miles limit in Oregon, don't you? said I. "We aim to," said he and within a minute he had slid from his parking place and was off after an unsuspecting speeding car. It is more comfortable to travel at 55 - if - - you ~ can -- remember. It got over it sometimes but not in Oregon. There are many State Parks along the highway, pretty, picturesque, ready for picnics, sometimes historical. There are the great dams, Bonneville, The Dalles and others. We went through the great government dam at the Dalles and again watched the fish mount the ladders to their spawning grounds. You all know I am sure that salmon are hatched far up in the head­ waters of streams, that they go down stream and live their lives in salt water, the ocean. As they age they return again to the waters of their birth, there to spawn and die. Great "fish ladders" are built through the dams for the fish to climb to the upper waters. There are eleven major waterfalls along 80N in Oregon. The best are Multnomah, 620 feet high, Wakeena and Punch Bowl. Ever and anon you glimpse Mount Hood, the highest peak in Oregon lifting its barren slopes above the timberline to 11,225 feet, its glaciers sharp on a clear day. If you have not been to Oregon you are missing something. But I like Northern Illinois when the leaves are changing and Indian Summer Prayer" from "Fiddler on the Roof' l,Let There Be Peace on Earth," and "The Ash Grove." The concert chorale will follow with "You Goota Be A Football Hero," "Coffee Grows on White Oak Trees," Mandel's "Hallelujah, Amen,'".' Baby, What you Goin' to Be," and Vivaldi's "Gloria in Excelsis." The select chorus from the chorale will sing "The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee" by Jean Berger. The jazz band will play "It Never Rains in Southern California," "Rainy Days and Mondays," featuring Bill Ruggero on trombone, followed by Jim Webb's "Mac Arthur Park" featuring Robin Rowley on trumpet. A special guest soloist for the evening will be Mrs. Richard Mikus on alto sax in Sammy Nastiro's "Lonely Street." The concert chorale will join the band in "All About the Blues." The band will conclude its part of the program with Nestiro's "Switch in Time," featuring Chris Rich on trombone and Frank Rodgers on drums. Editor's Quote Book The whole, though larger than any of its parts, does not necessarily obscure their sep­ arate identities. -- William O. Douglas Do you still get nervous about going over 3 minutes on a Long Distance call? You shouldn't. After 3 minutes, the rate-per-minute never goes up. And often goes down. So you can make a four, five or even a ten- minute Long Distance call for a lot less than you mignt think. For example, let's say you wanted to make a Saturday afternoon call to a friend in New York City. If you dial direct, you could talk for ten minutes for just $1.55, plus tax. You could make a similar ten-minute call to Los Angeles, San Francisco or even Seattle for only $2.05, plus tax. Think about that, next time you're racing the clock.

RATE LEGISLATORS I n c u m b e n t S t a t e Representatives Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake) and R. Bruce Waddell (R-Dundee) have been rated "Excellent" by the Illinois Agriculture association. Ratings were based on a number of bills selected by the Illinois Farm Bureau board of directors as pieces of legislation important to agriculture. Several of the more important issues con­ sidered were: Implementing legislation to allow soybean producers to establish a soybean check-off program to assist in market development and research, a temporary freeze on real estate tax ex­ tensions and an appropriation of $60 million to local units of government to replace revenues lost as a result of abolition of most personal property taxes.
