The Legion proposes to Becure construction of a road to the camp this summer. Already a highway is constructed part of the way from the Mount Hood Loop Highway up to the homestead place of J. 0. Hannum. It was cited by the Legion members who are promoting plans tor the devel opment of the permanent campsite that it will be an easy matter to connect the Tilly Jane road with Cloud Cap Inn, thus eliminating the old road to the mile high hostelry, a route that is steep and worrisome to motorists. merit of entertainments it has given in the past. Those promoting the forth coming show declare that it will excel anything ever undertaken by the club women. The Scholarship Ixan Fund, which all affiliated clubs of the Oregon State Federation of Women's clubs augment by funds secured in various methods during the month of February each year, is said to be very low. The fund is maintained by the state organization for the purpose of financing the higher education of deserving young women. The organization loans the money without interest, the girls repaying it after they have completed their educa tion ana nave Degun earning iuhuo. Mrs. William Munroe, president of the club, states that at present two Horn River mr Is are beneficiaries oi tho fund However, because of the' Bhortage in the Scholarship Loan Fund treasury, they nave oeen unanie to se cure sufficient money for their full needs. BUTLER IS PLEASED WITH FAIR MEET STEPS TAKEN TO START GOLF CLUB Initial steps toward the organization of a golf club were taken here last rriday afternoon when a score ot busi ness and professional men met at the Commercialjclub, pledging themselves each to subscribe $100 toward such an organization. A. W. Stone, who open ed the meeting, outlined plans for financing the purchase of fJ.b acres 01 Paradise Farm acreage just west of the eitv and the lease, with privilege of purchase of an additional 47 acres. The men will proceed with their plans if they can secure pledges trom ou prospective golfers. The land to be purchased and leased is vauled at $30,- 000. It is ideally located, it wj-b pointed out by Mr. Stone, and can be prepared for links at a minimum of expense. Mr. Stone stated that mem bers to the new organization could be drawn from The Dalles, Moeier and White Salmon and Underwood, Wash. A. W. Peters, elected permanent chair man of the organization, stated that it was anticipated that numerous Port land men would affiliate with the or ganization. Berkeley H. Snow was named secretary. The 13 acre tract mentioned ia con trolled by Jesse W. Crites, who states that it will be necessary to buy out right the land. It, however, can be purchased for $6,500, the sum of $1,5011 being paid down. The owners of the Paradise acreage offer to lease it for three years on a $500 an acre valua tion, the lessee paying the taxes and six per cent rental. At the end of the three years, if the privilege to buy has not been invoked, the owners will ask for a reappraisal of the land, but they will give the golf club the privilege of a further lease for four years on the six per cent basis, with a privilege to buy any time before the lease expires. Mr. Stone stated that golf had be come the national game of America. Mr. Peters cited that it was no longer a rich man's game, pointing out how two municipal golf links were flourish ing in Portland. He cited the success of golf links at Pendleton and La Grande. Mr. Stone stated that the establishment of a club here would tend to increase the value of all prop erty. It was cited how the club would benefit the Columbia Gorge hotel and how the management of that enter prise would be willing to aupport it. ThoBe who discussed the financial and other phases of the proposed or ganization were C. A. Bell, Truman Butler, E. K. Pooley, C. N. Kavlin. J. W. West and E. O. Blanchar.

Tho i-nmniittee hits undertaken to iro out into all parts of the state and seek a thorough expression of the people of all sections on their idea of what the fair should be and on all other phaes of the exposition. Mr. Butler declines that the expression of citizens of all parts of Oregon, members of the com mittee and others, indicates a general desire for an all-Oregon fair. "I told my fellow committeemen, Mr. Hntler. "that Hood Kiver county is vitally interested in the ex position, but that we want to know whether the fair will be held in the hi formal wav of world s fairs, with sunken gardens and great expenditure for temporary buildings. we nao been told that it will be an exposition that will be for all Oregon, statewide in It imni xnd have been mven to understand that we are inviting the world to come and investigate an Ore gon resources.

Two or more plans for financing me 1925 exposition are now being workei iut, and these will be submitted to tne i ,i. u , committee within a few uioeb. The executive committee, at its meetng Thursday afternoon, was convinced that there is a genuine de mand for the fair in 1925 throuhgout the length and breadth of Oregon. This was brought out with special em phasis by eveiy upstate number of the ommlttee who attended tne conier ince.

A number of plans were proposed and abandoned at Salem during the session of the legist .ture. A sub -committee is to ue appointed by Julius L. Meier, chair man, to devise a plan or two and sub mit these programs to the state-wide committee for approval or rejection. Whatever plan the state-wide commit tee con iders best will then be laid be fore representative bodiea in every -ection of the state. By thia policy it ia believed that cooperation can be brought about and every community will then get behind the fair, united to make it a success. If an initiative measure is required as part of the program of finance, the petitions can be circulated for the nec eBcary number of signatures during the spring and summer and at the same time the plan as well as the exposition itself and the benefits expected can be explained everywhere in Oregon. In the event of an initiated measure, it will appear on the ballot in the gen eral election next Novemler. William Hanley, president of the State Chamber of Commerce, haa ad vised the committee to initiate a meas ure and the desire for a measure to be submitted by thia method ia being advocated by up-atate people in letters -nn te..!gr.;n8 the general com mittee.

MULTNOMAH WILL CLEAR THE HIGHWAY t. aiiiofn tl toninn. Im of automo bile owners and citizens seeking the clearance or tons or r e ano snow sun blocking the Highway for a diHance of more than 1U miles, Multnomah countv commissioners Monday agreed to clear the road between Mist Falls and Multnomah Fall... a distance ot one mile, as a cost test. KoadniMster catchall was authorized tn ilru'v nn h Hon Iff and ask for bid on the work and if estimates were too high to handle the job mrougn tne countv road department. In "a report on condition by the ......rlmuutor ho ,-.tm.. ! I llO Ogt Of I o.io o i m i ' i , clearing a ten-foot path lor the mile .. . An nftA ' I 1 . I ..... in question at iM.uuu for lanor muoc To clear the 1 miles would iot in th neighborhood ot HMM for labor, he estimated. The lualmaster asi-erted t'-at it would take ii2ti men to clear a ten-foot path through the 12 miles be fore the end of this month and 550 men to clear the full width of the highway. A tentative estimate of the cost of clearing the highway now it in the neighborhood of $16,000. Between Viat Falls and the Hood River He are a series of drifts from 20 30 feet in depth. The cost o' cutting the road through them is addwJ to by the fact that the sr v and ice must be carried back some distance and dumped, aa it can r. be thrown over the siJelowing . the proximity of railroad track. By working a force of 30 men it ia estimated that it will take at last 10 daya to clear the road from Mist Falls to Oneonta. This calculation ia based on the work of efficient men. After reaching Oneonta there are further big drifta in the vicinity of Bonnevilla and Kagle Creek. The drifts have become almost solid ice. A consideration which has deferred the board of county commissioners of Multnomah county from opening the highway is the possibilty of another storm after it has leen cleared, block ing it again. In such an event the ex penditure would have gone for naught. Between the Multnomah boundary and Hood River the road ia also hl.icked, but the State Highway Commis-ion ia ready to proceed with the clearing sa soon as Multnomah county takes up ita section. The commission ha taken the tiostion that it would be u.elesa to open the Hood River fection until there was a prospect of a through road. Business men of Portland have on the representation that tht closed con dition of the Highway is diaco iraging tourist traffic, circulated a petition asking the board of county commis sioners to Uke atepa toward opening Ihe road if t e coat is not prohibitive. This petition, which was generally signed, was presented to the board Monday and action urged. Rrv and Mrs. Hershner Mr. and Mrs. J.
