the Linil grant Santiam road. Mor
to the point, ji-rh.ip?, the M.Koniie
road i"frw;'' while every erf at urc
that traverses t'e Santiam must pay
"toll." The ol.l Santiam road fair
ly closely follow the survey of the
CorvlIi8 A Kastern railroad thai
fed central Oregon's dream ome
0 vears ao;
which railroad was
extended until it had almost reach-t-d
the top of the mountains over
looking the ra.lroad hungry inte
rior. Lara &ei ci Mclmu. Road
The McKei .:ie road terminates
on the Villa:uette valley side at
Eugene; the S.iutiam road at Cor
vallis or Albany, though Lebanon
is first railroad point. The Mo
Kenzie road cV. tours to the south,
hence is the its, direct, though some
travelers insiP! that there is easier
grade and fewer hills.
One of the dreaded part? of the
McKeiuie read is a three-mile wide
lava bed. There are few if any
more desolate looking spots on
earth than a black, raided lava
flow. In the clear air of the moun
tains the lava rock have weathered
so little that one can almost ima
gin them stiil smoking and steam
ing. It is cot all imagination,
either, on a warm day, for the
heat waves can be seen rising and
it is no place for the barefoot boy
or even a dog. There will I e a few
stunted, struggling trees here and
there, and one may possibly see a
chipmunk and a cottontail rabbit
in half a day's time; but otherwise,
the lava bed is a great, lifeless, fret h
plowed field of the giants.
Every hoof that tracts the Santi
am road has a cash value. There
is a toilgate cn either side of the
mountains, and the campers from
both directions and the stockmen
who are taking supplies to their :
summer sheep camps are all re
quired to contribute their share to-:
ward road maintenance. There
are stories of independent interior
persons who have taken consider
able pains and an extra half day to
llpitTA nrAnml tVA tftllTat' Kilt thlR

is not so eas as might seem, for the
, , , , , . j .
large, locked gates are located at
. . . , , , ,
etrategic points and tee would-be.
,, , , ..
toll dodger may have opportunity
. , .,, . , ...
to build a mountain road of his own
for several milts. There are little
tricks, however, that have been
made to save occasional quarter
dollars. For example there is a
email head charge for loose horse?,
and a greater toll for horsemen.
C'ontrarily, there is no charge for
horses that are being led. Natur
ally, then, many persons preier to
ride in the wagon or buggy and
lead their saddle horses through the
toll gate. Toward the same end,
many four and six', horse teams are
cut down to two horse teams when
near the gate, since there is an
additional charge for every extra
team hitched to a wagon.
Even though theRe Cascade moun-
tain wagon roads are important
state highways, still one cannot
expect to pass a village every few
miles. On the McKenzie road there '
13 one cSU mile stretch between
ranches, and on some of the le.-s
traveled roads to the north and to
the south the traveler must be pre
pared for 40 or .50 mile uninhabit
ed stretches. Distances are mini
mized in these days of bard surface
streets and roads, and in the land j
of automobiles and express trains '
But the freighter and the mountain j
traveler crawls in a creepy and j
slower age. If he is heavily loaded ;
, . i , , . , .., ,
and must double tack with his !
. ,
teams and sandy mountain is ahead
., ., , .. , , . .
three miles may be a big day's drive. '
T .. . , , ,
Likewise, in the early season when i
the roads are muddy, or even later
when the weather is hot .on the ,
burned off side of Seven Mile moun- j
tain, seven miles may be as much ;
as he can make in two days. j

j .1. r j ii i
load is Fish Lake, and well mount
ed indeed is the traveler who does
not spend a night here, whether he
wills so or not. Fish Lake is nit
exactly at the summit nf the Cas
cades, but it is between two summits 1
of the raiipe and it in the only
atopi'iiiji point for more than oO
mi lev. Fifteen mile to the west is
the .Mountain House; but the up
and down of Seven Mile mountain
is between. Sixteen miles to the
east is the toll gate, but in between
is Sand mountnia and the climb to
liig Lake and the eastern summit
of the cascades.
llesides its strategic location, i
concerns mountain travelin, the
ti"l district lias several
unique features. The late summer
visitor might think the name was
very poorly chosen, for instead of
a lake he will see a large field of
wild grass, which must stock the
several low los barns that arenearlv , 1
always full of horses. And if there
are any ti.-h in the immediate
neighborhood, they will be found
scattered in the narrow channels
that meander across the haytield ;
Hut in the spring and early sum
mit it is another and a different :
land. There is a broad lake and
boats, and the hike is literally full
offish of all sir.es. Since Fish Lake
has no low water surface outlet, it
is generally explained that under-1
iiround channels drain the water
and the fi.-h, perhaps into Blue
Lake, which beautiful body of water
is only a few miles away. H'.ue
Lake receives its name from the
great depth and the exceptional
clearness of its water.
The customary traveler to the
west through the Cascades, and
especially along the Santiam road,
has as a rule so dulled his senses
that he takes as n matter of course
what would throw the city man or;
the eastern visitor into' ecstacies of
delight. To sum up, he. passes
through one of the greatest and
most valuable belts of yellow pine
timber in the west, in traversing,
the eastern slope of the Cascades.
He aleo passes some of the newest,
of the volcanic craters of the west,
aud crosses some of the most recent
lava flows of the continent. Fish
Lake is an interesting freakish lake i
hut it is only one of the like freaks j
that may be visited by easy side
trips along the way.
He passes between Mt. Jefferson
and the Three Sisters, and almost
within touching distance of the
,,
smaller, snowcapped peaks of .Mt

miles he will drive through the
great fir and cedar forests that
have given Oregon fame around the
world. Streams break forth from
the mountain sides at unexpected
spots, the water so pure and cool
that he will want to step every
quarter mile for a drink.
At times the mountain highway
will be drilled along the steep hill
side, a trench in sheer precipice,
that could tell of life tragedies.
Then the valley will widen, the
Santiam will grow lees noisy, the
warm air of the W illamette valley
will be felt, and laden blackberry

Danger of Reet in Spraina.
Sprained tinkles and knees are com
monest on the football Held, nnd we
fancy that It has been largely from
the experience gained In treallug these
football injuries that surgeons have
come to realize the danger of rest.
Gradually It has become evident that
most of the disability after sprains
resulted not from the sprain, but from
the treatment, the unheulthy stagna
tion of fluid about an unused Joint, the
resulting adhesions and muscular atro
phy. Now our football surgeons trent
their sprains by mtmsage and moderuto
exercise from the outset, thus avoid
ing the stiffening, the atrophy und the
tedious weeks of convalescence which
they used to inflict. London Family
