While peacefully swimming across the Metolius River a week ago Sunday at a point about three miles below Camp Sherman, a large and very beautiful cinnamon bear, bothering no one, was pounced on by a W. Culp, known as one of the fiercest and most ferocious animals in the Cascade mountains.
As the bear gained the east bank, Culp, who had watched him swim across, jumped out from behind a boulder and fiercely attacked him. Hitting Mr. Bear just about where his dinner joins the forward parts with a rock about the size of a man's head, propelled with all the enthusiasm an unarmed man can muster, the bear went to the floor and took the count of nine.
It was the only knockdown of the battle. The bear heard a voice calling, evidently, for he left suddenly.
Metolius fire destroys cars and warehouse
Fire, attributed to sparks from a passing locomotive, starting about five o'clock Saturday afternoon, in the railroad yards at Metolius and before it was brought under control destroyed the Irving warehouse, its contents, two loaded box cars and some other railroad property.
As soon as the fire was discovered, Metolius people rushed to the scene but were unable to prevent it spreading to the warehouse. It swiftly enveloped two loaded box cars standing nearby and other cars were saved by being hauled to another part of the yard. The warehouse, which was near the place where the fire started went without a chance to save it. A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below
The old Tum-A-Lum warehouse owned by Vine W. and Geo. T. Pearce, of Madras, was saved only after heroic efforts on the part of the volunteer fire fighters and the same may be said of the Metolius warehouse, owned by the Portland Flouring Mills Company, the fire reaching nearly to it I the grass and weeds before being stopped.
Section men from Madras and Redmond were rushed to the scene and did good and efficient work in aiding the Metolius people to prevent the spread of the flames. All of the town was jeopardized by flying brands which were sent flying into nearby grass by the wind and small grass fires continued to break out until nearly midnight.
L.H. Irving of Madras, owner of the warehouse burned, places his loss at $1,000, including equipment in the building. Other losses were fifty sacks of wheat belonging to R.P. Larsen and a ton and a half of mixed wheat and rye owned by Sam Parsley. All is total loss as no insurance was carried.
Father Ramould Karl Edenhofer, O.S.B., who has just arrived in Central Oregon to relieve Father John O'Donovan, who has left for a visit of several months at his old home at Tipperary, Ireland, born on a farm in Bavaria, because he became the leader of the Catholic youth movement in Bavaria and opposed the Nazi system, was marked by death by the Gestapo, he has revealed to his new parishioners. He eluded the dread Nazi secret police, however, and escaped to Switzerland. A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below
Father Edenhofer, whose headquarters are at Redmond but who supplies mission chapels here and at Warm Springs, traveled in Argentina and Brazil before coming to America. In addition to his theological education, acquired in Munich, Bavaria and Switzerland, he studied medicine at a Bavarian university. He is a personal acquaintance of Pope Pius XII, having met him first in 1919 and later when the present pontiff was papal secretary of state.
Father Edenhofer, who is the current editor of St. Josephs Blatts, German-language Catholic weekly published by the German Benedictine fathers at Mt. Angel, in 1942 was a student of journalism at the University of Minnesota, with Ralph Casey, formerly assistant dean of journalism at the University of Oregon, as his instructor. Coming to the United States late in 1941, Father Edenhofer traveled extensively through the states before coming to Oregon.
Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge, a $5.1 million convention center and vacation resort on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation of Central Oregon, opened last week after six years of planning and a year-and-a-half of construction.
Like the red rock outcroppings on the juniper-and-sage-covered hills, the lodge is a strong mark on the land that sweeps upward from the tumbling Warm Springs River. A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below
It is the latest in a long series of projects by which the fewer than 2,000 members of the Confederated Tribes have lifted themselves from the edge of poverty.
This new lodge is a mile downriver from cottages and teepees of Kah-Nee-Ta Village at the hot springs, the tribe's first and highly successful venture into the resort operation. The lodge complements and expands the village's facilities.
Brooks Gunsel of the Portland architectural firm of Wolff, Zimmer, Gunsel, Frasca, Ritter, says of the lodge, "We were told to create a beautiful building that would look as though the Indians had built it."
And so, starting with an arrowhead shape and continuing with carved figures telling Indian legends, bas reliefs of Indian patterns, fabrics and paintings in the strong colors of the high desert country, the Indian presence is everywhere.
The arrowhead shape was not really intentional, Gunsel says. It was a happy coincidence of terrain and compact design. Dramatic angles and spaces are an extra bonus.
Cedar dominates the exterior of the lodge. Inside are cedar, oak and ash along with strong displays of concrete in pillars and a three-story fireplace. A D V E R T I S I N G | Continue reading below
The heavy accent on wood was natural. Part of the reservation is forested, and the Indians have a sawmill and plywood plant among their industrial projects.
The lodge has 90 guest rooms of varying sizes. They are on three swept-back levels on the facing edges of the arrowhead. Each room, from its balcony, looks down 200 feet toward the rushing waters of the Warm Springs River and the adjoining golf course.
In the haft or uphill end of the arrowhead are the dining rooms, meeting rooms, lobby, lounges, craft shop, kitchen, and offices.
Enclosed by three sides is the swimming pool, 60 by 80 feet, bordered by grass and a lounging deck. The heated water enters the pool in a cascading waterfall, intended to offer a pleasant, cooling sound on hot summer days. And in the winter, the enclosure offers protection from the chilling winds that sometimes blow despite the mild climate where the sun shines 340 days a year.
Gunsel says when his firm started its preliminary architectural studies, Herbert R. Moller had already been named general manager of the resort.
