Rostell Through the air with the greatest of ease flies this master of the skiis as he descends the slopes of one of I the na tion’s leading winter sports areas, with Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest peak, tow ering in the background. This particular type of sport is hard ly for the novice, for whom lesser slopes and easier trails are available. More than 250,000 skiers and spectators converged on the Mt. Hood area last winter and many 'more are expected during the 1947-48 season. Timberline Lodge and Government Catnp areas, w ithinI six miles of each other, offer numerous facilities, with a varied choice of accommodations at the latter. Timberline Lodge has long been famous as one bf' the outstanding winter resorts in the nation and is al ways mentioned in the same breath by skiers in the know when they speak of super-publicized Sun Valley. Last winter 60(10 plus people came to Timberline Lodge in just one day, and this year .8000 will not be sur prising. In preparation, more chairs have been added to the mile-long lift. Three tows will be in operation,- as well as snow cruisers to reach heights not covered by tows and lifts. W inter sports at Timberlihe were well under way by mid-November and will stilji.be going on in June when the Golden Rose tourney, closing the Portland rose fetsival, will be held on the 13th.

I RAIN-MAKERS Government encroachment into ’the fields of private eriterprxse is a- favorite! theme of the view-wi^h-alarmists. These I last I few months haye’ marked the birth of a new type of private en terprise—making rain for money-;— that provides interesting grounds for speculatipn as to its future. Inevitably, when the -skfes become full of rain makers 'busy hunting thunderclouds to sprinkle w ith their dry-ice pellets, a clamor will arise for the government to take over and make rain in the public interest. Should this come to pass, the Public Rain Administration will need administrative talent <o£ a high order: a corps of " Solomons who can weigh the interest of the farmer against those of the I gol-f^r;; a shrewd strategist^ at the top who knowsjSwhen to call for the, dry-ice treatment on Sunday clam bakes of the opposing political party.
