I 9n of the best planned automobile tr4pa taken this season was made by Charles K. Frazler with George Frazler, Prank Lewis -and Fred A. Rasch as quests. For future guidance and the benefit of others, a record of time and distance was kept and any who may be irPlanning a four-day trip' can learn much of local geography, enjoy good fishing .and bathe in the wonderful hot springs "of Foley and Belnap by following their schedule. :, Iso attempt , was mad -, to make or break records, as stops were made for ;three dozenphotographs, and two good Ashing trips, and many Interesting side Ulps were taken. ! i The party left Portland In a Cadil lac "30," at 4 o'clock on July 1, and stopped at Salem for dinner. On leav ing there, a three-mile detour was made J.0 visit friends. At Jefferson the bridge was being repaired and there the ma- 'chlne was taken across the teantiam on a. temporary ferry. Albany was reached 'it 11:20 and the first evening's run 'found them '88 miles .from Portland. - ' On the next day they passed through Eugene, lunched at Deerhorn, visited "the Government salmon hatchery and reached Foley t-priiigs as the dinner Ttorn sounded. The road up the Mc Kenzie River is extremely good and iree from steep hills. It follows the windings. of the river on an even errade. end isshaded by a forest of giant firs.' Many followers of Isaac Walton were Been -casting the fly, and those within hailing distance were asked to show their creel, which bespoke the truth ' that the McKenzie is one of the world's toest trout streams. .- ? . Hot Springs Enticing. ' The baths at Foley Springs are in geniously arranged to apply all the properties of the natural hot water. First, instructions are to drink all the hot mineral water possible; next, you nter a small apartment called the ;'steamer." Each bathroom is supplied .with a ."steamer" and this vapor bath Is- always enjoyed. The bathtubs are houlder high and almost large enough 'in which to swim. Karly on the morn ing of July 3. after a bath and break fast,, Mr. Frazler arranged for a fishing trip on Horse Creek. The trout took the fly on the first case, as but few fishermen had been there in advance, and the conditions were perfect. ' I Leaving Foley Springs, a short run to Belknap Springs was made and there "the party tished away the afternoon in the McKenzie River. No need to exag gerate the catch or the size and (raini ness of the "Dolly Varden" or the "Rainbow" mountain trout In these .-"waters, as everybody who ever fished here will vouch for any tale told. The ' waters of the Belnap Springs are piped tcross the McKenzie River to the beau tiful camping grounds, where a series of. bath-houses are arranged for the use of the campers. All the party wel . oomed another plunge and ignored the ( consequences of exposure after a hot i. dip. as the mountain ozone makes one i.lmmune . from colds. Belnap Springs I. has-no accommodations, and If one in j .tends spending the day there, he should i -take lunch along, which can be secured ;et Foley Springs or the McKenzie ; bridge. - Coffee and eggs can be cooked In the hot waters of the springs, so it . Is an easy matter to prepare a dainty lunch as well as enjoy the novelty of 'iba.ving Dame Nature furnish the culi ! "nary department. Mr. Rasch. wise in the lore of camp life, broiled trout and s steak over the campfirc embers and a : .Jolly evening was spent in the company ; of the early arrived campers. The par ity left after the darkness had fallen, i with the purpose of enjoying the kinet ' tiscoplc effect of the search lights upon ;. the dense forest bordering the road. .With the ever winding driveway, the 1 moving picture of a trip through an Oregon forest is Indescribably thriying. The giant firs, the beautiful ferns, the : bared rocks, that so many countless years have been hushed to sleep by the purring lullabys of the McKenzie. were etartled by thl3 intrusion of a "chug" car and whispered to the .iackrabbit to , peep out and report. The feline purr of : the mountain cascades sounded a. wel r rbme as they advanced, and when the . large log cabin hotel at McKenzie ; bridge was reached, we instinctively j felt at home. ' ?. Auto Startles Landlord. 'Georg? F. Groener, who has recently taken charge of this place, on hearing the approach of the car, looked out of the window to see what was up. and seeing the blazing headlights of the machine, rushed out in scant attire, thinking his barn afire. By the time he had reached ilie first floor and was out on the 'porch, they had opened the gate and were laying alongside the house and. to use his expression, he then thought "all hell was loose as he eaw a snorting' warship lying along side." After being assured that it was a harmless pleasure-seeking party, he assigned them rooms. . The following morning shortly after leaving his place they came upon a band of 1700 sheep brought from Eastern Oregon to sum mer in the Cascade Reserve. Next to goats, nothing assists the forest war den In the preservation . of our great timber resources so well as do sheep by their keeping down the undergrowth that is so fatal in .the spreading of forest fires. Their return trip down the river was leisurely made, ' and bits of scenery were taken at different vantage points y George Frazler. Out of three dozen plates exposed, he had no failure except the snap at the sheep, which had tramped up so much dust that this plate showed up quite hazy. ' To Lane County much credit is due In the original laying out and mainte nance of her roads. The grades are as painstakingly laid out as a railroad turvey; scenic effects are not over looked and the future will see this wilderness visited by many pleasure seekers with rod and camera. The orig inal forests border the river, and the timber wealth -of this region is enor mous. The botanist will find, from the source of the McKenzie tt the. mputh, enough specimens to fill his herbarium. With glass-and press, 'ther student need spend no idle moments. '. i ' Xatnrc's Beauty Preserved. i iWlth nothing else to recommend the beautiful site of our Oregon Univer sity, this fact alone, of its receiving tlx blessings of the last rush of the Virgjn waters of our snow-covered Cas-ragea..-" Is sufficiently inspiring.

If one -does not plan to! reach here dur ing the regular meal- hours, he should telephone from r Leab'urg going in or from Blue .River coming .out, and a de lay Is overcome. -At Watterville, a game of baseball was iri progress be tween Eugene and the home team, ana great enthusiasm prevailed." From there a direct run to Eugene w.as made, where the town and adjoining coun try were gathered for Independence day festivities. Take - your cap off when passing through Eugene; she's a hum mer!, Having decided to return on the op posite . side . of the "Willamette, they struck off for Corvallia. where they stabled the automobile and sought rest. In the mountain fastnesses of the Coast Range, in the Western extremity of Polk .County, is a famous trout farm. This was the next objective point, and was soon -reached,- as- Polk County boasts of good roads, and is still, bet tering "the farmers' conditions by lav ish expenditures this season, John Teal, as host-, is -a memorable treat to the guest. His cordial greeting and hand grasp make one love the whole world, for such unreserved attention could not have-been given them were they life long friends. After 'beinfe shown how trout are farmed and made acquainted with his two pets "Dolly Varden" and "Rainbow Redsides," the .party left for Portland via Falls City. Dallas and Mc Minnville,. and reached home at 7:10, after a ride of. 422 miles. The records -of distances ,and time made between points by the party are as follows: - , - -. .
