MOUNT HOOD A WONDERFUL TONIC Mountain Air Has Invigorating Effect and Thousands Have Enjoyed Vacations There This Season. Those who have taken a trip to Government Camp, where they have enjoyed an outing In the vicinity of Mount Hood In hunting and fishing or of enjoying a much needed rest, have returned to this city much re freshed. The mountain sir of this re sort Is a wonderful tonic, and at day break all are ready to arise and start for either a long walk or on a fish ing trip. An appetite at this place Is not lacking, for It seems Hint while hero all we live for la to eat and sleep. Many people have made the trip to Government Camp from this city by team, enjoying the camp life along the way, where numerous mountain streams abound In fish, or in many places where good hunting Is found. Thoso who do not enre to make the entire trip by team to Sellwood on the electric car, where a transfer is made on the Car.ndero car. Many way stations are passed before we come to our destination on tho car line, Ilorlng Is reached, and hero we find stages awaiting for the pleasure seek ers bound for the many resorts In the mountainous regions. The stage takes you to Sandy, where dinner Is partaken of nt the Sandy hotel. The horses thnt hnve brought the stage to Sandy arc relieved and others re placed, with another driver. The start to Rhododendron Tavern Is made after dinner. Soon nfter leaving the little town of Sandy you enter Into a forest of glnnt firs, and ns a saw mill hits recently been Installed therein, and where the trees are to bo cut for lumber and for fuel the traveler thinks of the old saying, "O, Woodman, spare that tree. Touch not a single bough, In youth It sheltered me,. Anil I'll protect It now." After we puss this douse forest we pass Into an open stretch of country, farm houses are arising. Probably it Is a frame, one-story building for a home, but the little children playing around their mothers will Bee the day when theirs will be among the finest farms in the county, although many of the places are now covered with the blackened trees that have either been burned by a raging forest fire or by the head of the family, who la CONTESTANTS AT.

JOHN McLOUGHLIN, whose Historic Home will be dedicated next Sunday afternoon with appropriate ceremony. endeavoring to clear his land for fnrmlng purposes, so as to make a living for his little ones. In many places you pass you see a school building, some of them being modern throughout, while others are dilapidated, with their old fashioned high back' seats. After leaving the town of Sandy one begins to feel the change of atmos phere, and the good mountain air seems so refreshing to Ihe tired one. Among the resorts that are passed before reaching Rhodendron are Welches, King's Resort, formerly call ed Mclntyre's, Aschoffs, Salmon and at last Rhododendron. All of the re sorts that are passed received their full patronage this year, Welches probably receiving the largest share. Many people who visit at that re sort have purchased property and will erect bungalows, where they will spend their summer's outing. Among the places that are pussed after leav ing these resorts Is Fern Hill. For almost a mile you pass through bow ers of ferns, overlooking the Sandy, which is well named, The Salmon, is also passed. Rhododendron Tavern Is reached in the afternoon after the long ride by stage. This resort la located on the beautiful Zlg Zng river, noted for its beauty. A rustic bridge has benn con structed across this stream. This place Is named after the Rhododendron a plant which grows In profusion in thnt part of the county.

I-' - i hotel, but Mr. Holden, although not superstitious himself, has arranged this so that there will not be number 13. To do this he has numbered the rooms as far as number 12 inclusively, and from that number the rooms are in alphabetical order. The kitchen is 16x30 feet, dining room 30x40 feet; main hall, including the reception room, 67 feet long and 20 feet wide; music room 16V4x32 feet, and the ver and around the building Is 352 feet long and 10 feet wide. The building was designed and built by Mr. Hol den. The large cobblestone fireplaces In the music room, reception hall and dining room make it a homelike place to spend a vacation. There is an ex cellent mineral spring on the grounds. Dances and card parties are among the attractive features of this ideal summer resort, and those who need a rest from the outside world, can come here and rest on the verandas that overlook the beautiful Zlg Zag river. On the grounds of this resort are tents pitched for those who wish to enjoy camp life. It is the intention of the owners of this resort to erect bunga lows In the near future for those wish ing to spend the summer there. After remaining at Rhododendron for the night the traveler eats a hearty breakfast and takes the stage for his destination, Government Camp. The Toll Gate Is about one mile beyond, and is in chnrge of Mr. Mitchell and hiB sister, Miss Mollle Mitchell, the latter of this city. They also have charge of the Toll Gate Hotel, and have done a flourishing business dur ing the summer months. Many of the Oregon City people have camped nt this point during the summer and have enjoyed the fishing in the numerous streams Including Lady Creek, Still Creek, Camp Creek. Devil's Creek, Dutch Henry Creek and Zlg Zag Creek, many of the campers having their tents pitched on the lat ter.

SURVEY OF WILLS ROAD IS ORDERED RESIDENTS OF SCOTTS MILLS WANT HIGHWAY ACROSS PLATTED LAND. The county court has ordered a sur vey of the proposed George M. Wills road across Friends Oregon Colony on the north side of Butte Creek at Scotts Mills. Attorney O. D. Eby presented a remonstrance against the estab lishment of the road, signed by John Scott, owner of the grist mill at Scotts Mills, and more than 30 oth ers. Several mimes were removed from the remonstrance and also from the petition, but the court declined to allow a deduction of 13 names from the petition, upon application of the petitioners themselves, who stated that they signed the petition with no clear understanding of the facts. This is the fourth attempt to secure the establishment of this road, the flrsf three trials resulting in failure, the objection being made on the ground that the route proposed cuts diagonally across the lands platted by the Oregon Land Company In 1892 and also that the road would be an ex tremely costly one. It is possible that another remonstrance will be filed against the establishment of the road. Greenman Goes to Young's Bay. E. G.

Harding, vice-president: Edward E. Brodie. sec retary; Charles H. Caufleld. treasur er: Rev. A. Hillebrand, Joseph E. Hedges. J. I. Campbell. C. D. Latour ette, William Sheahan. Charles H. Dye, and Dr. W. E. Carll, directors. This organization Is only temporary and It Is Intended to form a perma nent historical body to assume charge of the building. Dr. McLoughlln came to Oregon City In 1844. 15 years after he had taken the Oregon City claim. He built a mill and then his house, which was first occupied by A. McKlnlay, who conducted a store in the building that now stands on the Southeast cor ner of Eighth and Main streets in Oregon City. About a year after the house was constructed Dr. McLough lln took np his abode there with his family and lived In It until September 3. 1857. It waa then occupied for about 15 years by the doctor's son-ln-law, Daniel Harvey, whose wife was the mother of Sirs. M. L. Myrick and Mrs. Theodore Wygant. of Portland. After Harvey moved away the house waa allowed to fall Into decay, the ownership passing into the hands of Mrs. Mary Barlow and John T. Ap person. who last year sold the ground and building to the Hawley Pulp S Paper Company. Mr. Hawley. who wished to use the site for mill pur poses, gave the house to the city and two months ago it was moved down Main Street from Third to Tenth and then up Singer Hill to the City Park block at the edge of the bluff, which will be Its permanent home. The ac companying photographs show the house in the various stages of its Journey. The building has been well preserved. Most of the timber used In its construction was procured here, but the lumber for the celling came around the Horn. Those who have a love for the his toric, who honor the pioneers of the Northwest territory, and who appreci ate the invaluable service rendered to Oregon by Dr. John McLoughlln will gather at Oregon City next Sunday af ternoon and give profound respect to his noble memorv bv joining In the ceremonies of dedication of the house in which the Father of Oregon aoent the declining years of his busy life. Mrs. M. L Myrick. a granddaughter of Dr. John McLoughlln. the founder of Oregon City, came np from Port land Friday and made an examination of the McLoughlln home, which Is now In process of restoration, through the efforts of the McLoughlln Memorial Association. She Is delighted with the work and told E. G. Caufleld, pres ident of the Association, that the house where she once lived, had been restored to a point where it looked almost exactly as It did between 1850 aud 1860. She went through the his toric structure from top to bottom, showing where the original partitions had been and states that it will be a comparatively easy matter to give the house the same appearance In Its Interior that It had In early days. Mrs. Myrick's mother was Elolsa McLough lln, and her father's name was Ray. She acted as secretary for her dis tinguished grand parent and probably Vnows more about him and his Inti mate affairs than any person now liv ing. Mrs. Myrick states that much of the furniture that was in the house during the lifetime of the old doctor Is In friendly hands and can be recovered and placed In the building In time.
