Writing In t lie May number of the
Suimt't ami Pncllic monthly, Knudall
It. Howard gives a fascinating (le
scrlbtlon of Mt. Hood from the
Ht.'Linl lnt of the motorlHt. Inelud
ed In the article In the story of ). C
Vocuiii. veteran mountain guide
who live at Government ('amp. An
extract from the article follow:
When Mr. Yoctirn first looked out
from the top of Mount Ilooi, on J illy
10, lvvt, not to exceed one hundred
person had preceded til in to the top.
"I climbed the mountain hundred
of time during the twenty three
yearn that I wan a professional
guide." Mr. Yocum said to tne. "And
every time 1 wiw something new.
Kverv tlni", the t hree-hiindrednille
view over Oregon and Washington,
ami far Into California, wan more
wonderful. Kvery time the puno
raiini of the wheat field and the
plain and the hill of the Inland Km-
plre, the orchard and the cltle and
the towns of the Columbia river val
ley and the Willamette Valley, were
more Inspiring Kvery time the
lake and the river and the haze of
the Pacific ocean, and the ranges
with their eight visible snow-capped
peak of more than Ht.lMH) feet eleva
tion, were more beautiful."
Viewed In the light of the preent
accessibility of Mount Hood, the day
when Mr. Yocum firt climbed to the
top seems age ago. The pinnacle of
Mount Hood I now almost a easy
to reach by the average peron n
the seashore. Hundreds climb to the

ber of time, more than a hundred
