Mr. Ryan's record is absolutely clean. Portland Telegram. Neither investor, nor guardian of public funds, nor as ec onomist nor as administrator has Mr. Hoff earned reelection. His opponent Thomas F. Ryan, of Oregon City, was for eight years assistant state treasurer and his qualifications for office seem superior to those of Mr. Hoff's. The Capitol Journal, Salem. Dear Mr. Ryan: "The result of my investigation of the office of State Treasurer is so eminently satisfactory that I wish to express my appreciation of finding an office where such a magnitude of business is transacted, conducted in the manner you are now and have been handling the office of treasurer of the state of Oregon for the time you have acted as deputy. No man I know of in Oregon is better fitted to fill the position of Treasurer than yourself and I believe the voters will show their faith in you by electing you to the position." R. E. Pinney, Auditor and Adjuster of Official Bonds of State Treasurer. Competency in the office of State Treasurer is too grave a matter to be set aside in the interests of party or class. The Oregonian believes strongly that Mr. Hoff, whatever his other attributes may by, is not sufficiently versed in business matters to be continued in his present trust and that Mr. Ryan should be nominated. The Oregonian. Judge Thomas F. Ryan and O. P. Hoff, present state treasurer, are the two candidates for the Republican nomin ation to this office, and Hoff's administration is the principal issue. Ryan is making the race on his record as assistant state treasurer under Former State Treasurer Thomas B. Kay, and a platform of constructive policies. Hoff's admin istration was subjected to a special grand jury investigation in the spring of 1920 resulting in the jury severely condem ning his policy of purchasing bonds from Morris Brothers with state funds at stuffed premium prices. It enabled the bonding firm to realize nearly $100,000 in excess profits. Portland Telegram. A sum of $150,000 of state funds is on deposit with the State bank that closed its doors today. The State Bank of Portland is carrying a larger amount of state funds on de- Kosit than any other bank in the city. The state treasurer as a son working in this institution. Let us retire Mr. Hoff and have a thorough investigating of this important of fice in all matters, as well as the work connected with in vestments made of trust funds. Chas.

W. MORTON' Prepare for Annual Chautauqua Dates J tin 30 and July 1, 2, 3, 4 Bring- lunchr frr Atl-Dsr SrKn sad eti;cy picnicking a Chawtujua Park Joint activity on the part of official and residents of Hood River county has made available to the motoring public a) land of incomparable scenic beauty and romantic charm on the northwest base of Mount Hood in the reigon of Lost Lake. From earliest summer, when rhoaoaenaron Dusnes in 20-acre tracts lift in riot their magnifi cent blooms, until snowfall in late autumn gives warning: of wintertime blockades, the Lost Lake country is popular to the recreationist. The late summer ana iaii cays at tract the city or neighboring rural families on an outing to the district because of the availability of wild blackberries and huckleberris. Hood River housewives the past several seasons have won sincere praise Irom epicures on their wild blackberry jelly, and the feasts of huckleberry pies that have been served from bushes around Lost Lake have been almost uncount able. The upper reaches of the West fork of Hood river, the Lake Branch and Lost Lake itself, all offer pools and riffles that add zest to the sport of enthusiastic anglers, bummer catches are inspiring to the true disciples of Sir Izaak Walton. Until last fall Lost Lake was re mote, insofar as the motor tourist was concerned. Some 16 years . ago the Commercial Club raised funds, at the instance of D. I. Stone, pioneer home steader, whose Bonny Brae ranch is at the confluence of the Upper West fork and Lake Branch, and with Mr. Stone superintending the work, donating his time and effort, a rough wagon trail was cut to the lakeshore. Ihis road was open but a few seasons. It was soon overgrown with bushes. The era of motoring came on, and Lost Lake was forgotten, except by hunters and fishermen strenuously inclined, until four years ago. Hood River sports men, banded together in the Hood Riv er (Jounty uame rrotective Associa tion, gave interest in the scenic region its new stimulus. An interesting co incidence was the presidency of the late O. McDonald, pioneer merchant. of the game organization. Mr. Mc Donald had headed the Commercial Club in the early days when it was pro moting plans for making the lake ac cessible to horsedrawn vehicles, and he was familiar from numerous per sonal excursions into the district with its wild scenic grandeurkand its appeal to recreationists. The new organiza tion began a virile campaign to edu cate the public to the value of the lake district as an asset. Progress at first was slow but the local residents were finally made to realize that they had in the forests, the lake, the wild flow ers, the fish and the wild out of doors a section of territory that could be made to pay on a commercial basis even as acreages 01 productive apple and pear trees. At the instance of the game association, the county made a good appropriation and the game protective body, through private sub scription augmented the fund. This process was continued for several years, and resulted in a gradual better ment of the county road from Dee to the bounds of the Oregon National Forest. The United States Forestry Service for years has been interested in Lost Lake, officials who administer its act ivities, fully acquainted with possibil ities for recreational development. The forestry department was merely awaiting an expression of interest from Hood River valley citizens before launching a supplementary campaign of their own. In 1919 they announced plans for proceeding with the new grade, where the county left off and carrying it through to the water' edge. The four and a half miles of the road through the national forest to Lost Lake s shore were completed in the late fall last year, and now it is possible to leave Portland during the early morn ing of any summer or autumn day and by noon be fishing in one of the clear streams or filling receptacles with lus cious huckleberries. Considerable spec ulation has been indulged in here as to how many motor tourists will visit Lost Lake the coming season, now that the new road is open. In 1919 the total number of visitors, according to for estry statistics, reached 500. This grew in 1920, as result of the educational campaign of the Hood River Game Protective Association, the new presi dent of which, J. H. Fredricy, having become an ardent booster for road 1m provements in the district, to 5,000, and last year recreationists motored to the Lost Lake section to the number of 20,000. 1 he forestry bervice some 10 years ago was making preparations for events as they have befallen, and at that time steps were taken to eltect with the Oregon Lumber Co. an exchange of forest lands in other parts of the Na tional Forest for tracts bordering the lake shore. The government again be came owner of an approximate 200 acres lying along the crystal mirror of the lake, and this has already been plotted into summer campsites, of an approximate half-acre each, which will be leased at a rental of $10 per year The Forestry department had antici pated that the campsites would be ready for allotment by this season, and an announcement was made Ust year for plans which resulted with the ser vice being flooded with applications. Certain formalities of the exchange, however, will not be complete this sea son, and it is likely that allotments will not be made until next season. The summer campsites lie between the lake, on the east aide, and Ked mil. or Butcherknife mountain, as the eminence is known to numerous pioneers. Ihe road passes directly in front of the plots, and between the road and the ake shore is a long strip that will be utiilzed as a common recreational ground. The United Mates Forestry Service is still enthusiastic in its promotion of the county's recreational district, and an appropiation of S11.70O bas been made for work on the roads of the sec tion this summer. A part of this sum will be applied to surfacing with rock the four and a half miles of new grade connecting with the county road and the balance w ill be utilized in extend- ng the forest road for another half mile along the east side of the body of water. As soon as weather conditions will permit this summer, Stanley C Wal ters, chief forest ranger of the county. ill start crews to surfacing- the new grade and on work of opening the pro posed new half mile along the lake no re. Mr. Walters, wbo bas been con nected with the forestry service for 10 years, expresses belief that the Lost Lake country will eventually become one of the strongest mac-nets for mo torists touring into the Hood Kiver val ley. Another vawey citizen. Jake Lent, ! Middle alley pioneer, who bas had charge of cuttirg the grade fur tbe for etry service, in enthusiastic over the tossibilities for recreational develop ment. The view obtains amoug manv local fJk as well as amorg citizens of Port land that the time will eventually me when the Portland Water Board will cease to object to an extension cf tb Lost Lake road through Lolo Pass to the Mount Hood Loop Highway on the Sandy river. At present, it will be necessary to pass through a portion of tbe Bull Rud watershed, and the Port land Water Board has blocked move merits for extending the road on the score of possible contamination of the Bull Run water supply. The declara tion is made by those who are familiar with the topography of the country that such a road will in no wise menace the water suodIv. The opening of the Lost Lake motor highway is. but the beginning of devel opment .01 the lvosCLake country. Plans of forestry officials and enthusi astic citizens call for innumerable trails to points of scenic wonder. Already trails connect Lost Lake with Wahtum Lake, and parties on past summers have journeyed through the Hood River valley for a week end hike from Lost Lake, back by Wahtum and thence down Eagle creek or Herman creek to the Columbia River Highway. It is pro posed to construct new trails from Red Hill across tbe clear branches of the West Fork of Hood river into the for ested area on the west side of the mountain.. Hardier mountaineers who have penetrated the hidden, small val leys to the west side of the mountain declare it the most charming region on the great snow peak s great case. Al ter one once gains access to the snow line region, it is declared that magmn cent expanses of snowneld and glacial surface are accessible. Crevases of Coe Glacier, the pinnacles and snouts of the ice accumulation are declared remarkable. Among the keenest Hood River val ley mountaineering enthusiasts are Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Rockhold, respectively graduates 01 Stanford university and the University of California, who were attracted to the Upper Valley, where they have developed an orchard. They have tramped into many wooded nooks around the great mountain s base, and they both declare the region around Barrett Spur incomparable in its set ting of little hidden coves, where hun dreds of species of wild flowers bloom. Numerous little lakes are found in the depressions of the small valleys, and snow fields lap down into the very edge of expanses of vari-colored blossoms during the hottest summer months. To the Indians of the mid-Columbia section Lost Lake carries a signifi cance of tragic romance. In earlier days the lakeshores, because of the fishing and the abundance of berries, was the annual rendezvous of hundreds. Redskin legend, however, has it that the aborigines were warned away from the section by the Ureal Spirit. On an autumn season while a feast and ance was in progress on the wooded shores the participants were astonished to see a white faun dash through their midst, hotly pursued by a pack of gray wolves. The deer swam to the center of the lake, where she circled for.a time and then dived to return no more to the surface. Medicine men pro claimed the incident a bad omen, and by daybreak the next morning the squaws bad pitched the last tepee and the cavalcade of berry harvesters and fishers was on a last trek from the land of beauty and plenty. Ihe legend bas a more modern se quel. In 1914 an educated buck and is squaw, bearing of the prodigality of blackberries and huckleberries and the excellence of trout fishing in the district, ignored the pleas of elders of their tribe and set oil on an outing on Lost Lake. A thunderstorm arose. and lightning, striking tbe tree under which the two were camped, dealt death to the little squaw. Indians to day ride in automobiles, but whites who know the confidence that thev place in such phenomena, regarded as warnings from the Manitou, say- that no redskm iamuy win .ever camp be side the placid waters of Lost Lake. The nation's white population, how ever, has no fear of the romantic epi sodes so grievous to the red brethren. The legends but add lustre to the for est wilds, and the white family will seek to develop new romance in the appealing wilderness, which with the constantly increasing stretches of roads and trails is being made one of the state s most popular playgrounds.
