Easy Ascent Ip Precipitous Sides
Afforded by Work, of Per.
manfnt Construction.
An inspection trip of the new trail
being built to the top of Castle Rock
by Henry J. Biddle. ownej of the prop
erty, was made on Wednesday by John
B. Yeon, Amos Benson, D. C. Freeman
and W. A. Schwartz. The first three
are well-known men of this city, and
uio i j l namea is a deputy roaa en
gineer for Clarke County, Washington. I
The new trail up the precipitous sides
of Castle Rock, the imposing monolith
that stands near the bank of the Co
lumbia River on the north shore, ha3
been constructed for some distance,
and XX will be completed next Spring,
when it will permit an easy ascent of
this great rock. ,
The party found the trail to be of the
most permanent construction and de
clares it will prove a great tourist at
traction when finished. They were not
content to go half way up the rock by
the new trail, but completed the ascent
to the very top. The weather was not
favorable to a good view, however.
Mr. Biddle, who has six men at work
on the trail, is building this scenic
route from a sense of love for the out
doors, and the scenic possibilities of the
Pacific Northwest. He also has laid out
a park nearby, which will be known
as Waclella Park, the name being taken
from the Indian village In that vicinity
found by Lewis and Clark when they
made their famous trip of exploration
to the mouth of the Columbia over 110
years ago.
An Knglish lighthouse has been
equipped with a lamp that can be low
ered almost to sea level in foggy weath
er, when it would be invisible in its
regular position.
