The recommendations doubtless will meet with favor by all automobile riders, us well as those wjio believe In preserving lhe scenic beauty spots along the Columbia river for future generations. The letter follows: ''Referring to your order of May 11 In the matter of request of O. K Paltsreou to widen the Columbia Itlver Highway In «front of bls store at Corbett, will say that I do not see that thia would be an advantage to ths general public, but would suggest that lhe places hereinafter mentioned be secured as public purklng places. "Multnomah county has made a very large Investment In the con­ struction of the Columbia River Highway, one of thg greatest scenic highways In the world, and In order to preserve the beauty and most at­ tractive features of this highway It Is advisable that a system of parks bo established, of easy access from the highway, before these scenic points have been sold out to indi­ vidual owners. If action Is not taken soou lu the establishment of these parka, it may be too late and the general public will be deprived for­ ever of the advantages of suitable parks.

EPWORTH LEAGUE MEMBERS ENJOY PICNIC SUPPER The Epworth League social, thanks to the careful arrangements of the Social Department, proved a vers stimulating and enjoyable affair, The members, after assembling at the church proceeded in detachments numbering sig or eight to a spot select­ ed for the affair. The advance guard, consisting of six brave Amazons, scout­ ed In a southerly direction along the borders of 84th street at lhe point where this street narrows to a lovers lane. Threading this embowered pathway these brave adventurers hap­ pened upon the track of the Estacada car line which they followed to Ken­ dall station. Ione LeGrant had an ex­ citing adventure with the “cattle guarda” or cow catchers as she called them. Rosalind, venturing to walk upon the waters found them as de­ ceptive as a June day In Portland. The whole company, following this advance guard, finally encamped on the greensward bordering John­ son Creek, where private Lorens by his magic touch soon produced a roar­ ing campfire by the side of which the little army encamped, forgetting the dangers and hardships of the Journey, while listening to the tune of sizzling wienies, boiling coffee and roasting marsh niel lows.. The tall form of A. Lincoln Arnest cast long shadows as the welkin re­ sounded to the blows of his sturdy az. The entire company Joined in singing all the song hits of the last ten years, after which with happy but reluctant feet, the way was retraced thru mid­ night shadows to waiting hearth­ stones.

Gresham people were shocked and saddened by the terrible accident which occured Saturday evening at the Main street crossing of the Bull Run line, when Mr. and Mrs. Allan Tiller were struck and killed by the 4:50 car for Bull Run. The young people were in a small roadster and were going north on Mam street, headed for Troutdale to see Mr. Tiller's mother. No ono knows whether Mr. Tiller saw the ap­ proaching car and tried to beat It to the crossing or whether he neither saw or heard the car until it was too late to stop. The car bad whistled for the cross­ ing and it is said was traveling <-t more than the usual rate of speed owing to the fact that it was late. The car struck the light car shoving it ahead for about 125 feet before It was pushed off the track. It is said that the car went more than 100 foci before It was brought to standstill This Is probably accounted for by the fact that the crankcase wax broken and the engine and oil tank broken at the fmt smash. The oil was spilled upon the track and thia condition prevented the brakes from holding the car though they were set. Both Mr. and Mrs. waru Tiller dragged along with the auto almost the whole distance and were terribly injured. Mr. Tiller lived only a few minutes after the accident but Mrs. Tiller lived a little over an hour. Crowds gathered immediately and gave all the assistance possible but both were so seriously injured that there was little to be Both done. were taken to the home of Dr. IM- lis where everything poaetble waa done for them. One of the sad features of the acci- dent was the fact that Mrs. Tillers mother, Mrs. Anna Hamlin, was on eye wittneas to the accident and was one of the first to reach the acene. Mrs. Hamlin was herding the family cow along the street in front of the J. N. Clauahan place when the young people passed her calling back that they would soon be back. Watching them out of sight Mrs Hamlin saw the Bull Run car come into sight and saw them shoved along in front ot .he train. Mrs. Hamlin was pros­ trated by the shock although she has been very patient in her trouble. The machine was completely wrecked, witnesses saying that the engine was scattered all along the track. This is one of the most tragical accidents that has happened hero for several years. Not since the death of Mr. and Mrs Lindsay and Miss Helen Metzger has Gresham wit-* nessed such a tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. Tiller have been liv-. Ing with Mrs. Hamlin etnee their marriage last October, Mr. Tiller was the son of Mrs. M. J. Tiller or Troutdale and has spent most of his life at that place. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock ct the Methodist church. Dr. A. Thomp­ son officiating. Interment was In Douglas cemetery near Troutdale. Allen Tiller was born November 8. 189«. at Troutdale, where he •pent his entire boyhood. Mrs. Tiller was born at Little Falls, Minn., June 25, 1901, am) came to Gresham, with her parents, Mr. ana Mrs. John Hamlin in I »08. Ever since that time she has lived in Gresh­ am, attending school here and win­ ning many friends.—-Gresham Out­ look.
