Hey! Come on!

Thank you.

Oh, Logan, there's a

cabin-raising Saturday week.

Liza Stone and

Gray Bartlett are marrying.

I'll be there.

You'd have had your kiss

if I hadn't been here.

Yes. I'm sorry I caused you to miss it.

But what's any woman

to you?

You're never happy

except when you're on the go.

I guess I'm just stuck on this

Oregon or maybe I'm just ambitious.

I want to see a Stuart

& Company pack outfit

stringing along

every road.

And when stages come,

I want them to be my stages.

Is that what makes you so

restless and discontented?

Or is it a woman, Logan?

Must it always be a woman?

Take me to

the Rogue River Valley

Valley

Where the silvery

moonlight shines

Some one waits for me

in the valley

There among

the blue-tipped pines

She'll be by the river

Where all heaven beams

And there by the river

We'll find

the trail of dreams

Donkey,

don't you dare to dally

Can't you hear

the kill deer song?

Say, Hi. When did Honey

Bragg get into town?

Well, it looks like

he just rode in

the way

his horse is lathered.

Must've done

a little riding yourself.

All the way from Portland.

Don't tell anyone.

Huh?

What was that song

you were singing, Hi?

Oh, I don't know.

Just a little song.

It sounded very romantic.

Well, Mandy

gets that way sometimes.

Silly, isn't she?

She'll be by the river

Where all heaven beams

And there by the river

We'll find

the trail of dreams

Donkey, don't you dare...

Steady! Whoa! Whoa!

Dad!

Lucy!

Lucy! Hello, Logan.

Mommy.

Nice trip, Logan?

Did you enjoy yourself? Did

you have a nice time, dear?

Yes, it was fun.

Oh, we stopped by the Dances

and Mrs. Dance sends her hellos.

There she is, George,

there's your girl.

Thank you, Logan.

Did he behave himself, Lucy?

Oh, you're lovely.

I'd almost forgotten.

Not entirely

I hope, George.

Is that the best

you can do, George?

Could you do any better?

If I hadn't seen my girl for a

whole month, a whole lot better.

Same old roughneck.

No polish at all.

Did you mind my asking Logan

to bring you home?

What took you over

to Crescent City, George?

A mining claim. Looked like

a real strike, but it wasn't.

Another rainbow?

One day, I'll bring you

the pot of gold

from the end of that rainbow,

you'll see.

Are you glad

to be back, Lucy?

How was the trip?

Wonderful.

Good night.

Good night.

Where's Morrow?

He'll be back Tuesday.

I sent 40 mules

on the trip.

Vane Blazier will take the

Scottsburg string in the morning,

20 mules.

Put this on the books, Clench.

Thirty mules to be at Salem

on the 20th.

Henry McLane's freight.

Where will you get the mules?

You're spread

pretty thin already.

In addition, he penned several Broadway plays as well. He married the daughter of famed cartoonist George Herriman, Barbara, and they had one daughter prior to Barbara's death from complications from surgery in 1939.In 1947, Pascal was hired by RKO Pictures to write a story based on the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804.
