HEW ROAD DESIRED Scenic Route to Mount Hood Urged by Club. OBJECTIONS ARE ASSAILED Hood 7cr Commercial Body Gives Arguments in "Favor of Bnlldlng Through Loet JLake Reserve In Spite of Opposition. Membars of the Hood River Com inercUl Club re planning an acUve campaign to secure for the future a - Z-a vnown as Lost Lake road. by which tourists would be enabled to aee Mount Hood and the scenery In the itat vicinity better and which would afford a fine loop trip between Portland and Hood River. The Port i.i wtr Board objects to this road on the ground that the water of Clear Creek shortly will De neeaea tor run land's water supply and would become contaminated by traTel through the reserve. M umbers of the Hood River club have expressed their views and reasons for the formation of this road. In brief they are as follows: "Oregon and Portland are anxious to - attract tourist travel, the reason being that tourists leave real money wher ever they go. The . roost attractive thing to the tourist Is Mount Hood, and the arrangements for getting near It at the present time are meager. "The visitor can take an automobile ride to a point on the west side of It, quite a distance from getting Into the real scenery of that region, and then he has to turn around and go back to Portland the same way be came. When the Columbia River road Is finished, there will be one of the finest rides on the continent at his disposal, and the terminus of that ride. Hood River, Is bound to get a great deal of benefit from bis calls. Road Law Desired. "After the tourist geta to Hood River the way to Mount Hood Is a hard one, and unless he has much time at Ms disposal, he Is not apt to make the trip. Hood River always has wanted the Lost Lake road and still wants It, because of the opportunity It gives Hood River people to get into the real mountains, and because of the excellent 'innn' trio It will make between Hood River and Portland, a trip of 150 miles that can be made In one day through . scenery as Inspiring as any that Swit zerland has to offer. "What are the objections to the road? The Portland Water Board in sists that shortly Portland will need the water from Clear Fork Creek, a stream having Us source In Mount Hood, that runs through the pass that would be required for the road. The argument of the Board Is that travel ' through the pass will contaminate the water; that campers will got Into the - reserve and start fires. 'Portland now has a flow of S7.000.000 gallons a day from Bull Run, and a storage capacity of 193.000.000 gallons. This amount of water, according to the story of Portland's water supply In the New Tear's edition of The Oregonlan. is sufficient for a city of 700.000 people. According to IX I. Stone, of Hood River, ther Is In a report of the Water Board a statement xo me eneci. ui waters of Clear Fork were usea uj Portland at some future day, settling r..rvlr as well as filters will be necessary. Advantages Are Cited. "As to contamination and forest fires. The Forest Service wishes this road ihrnnrh the reserve, because at this time Its employee cannot get Into the reserve to patrol It as tney wouw iiae. Thev say If they had a trial they would put cm two motorcycle patrols who could cover every spot on the trail every half hour. In case of a Ore In the reserve at this time, men could not be tot to it. The patrol would keep travelers to the road, and pre vent camping, thus keeping down the danger of fires aa well as of contamina tion. ' "Mr. Dodge, of the Water Board, and City Attorney Grant called at Hood River on February 17, and had a con ference with a number of Hood River people at the Commercial Club. They expressed their views, and the position the Water Board had assumed pn the subject. Hood River raised the ques tion of the two sections of land that were included In the reserve that dipped Into Lost Lake at the south west corner, and by reason of being In the reserve, kept Hood River from building a road to Lost Lake via Jones Creek, an easy grade. Moreover, these two sections of land slope toward Lost Lake and are not In Bull Run water shed, but in Hood River's watershed. Bill la neMBtei. "Mr. Podge promised the Hood River people that the question of releasing these two sections of land would be taken up with the Board upon his re turn to Portland, and that their ideas would be communicated to us. They further promised that some day this Spring or Summer as soon aa good weather opened up, members of the Board would go over the fjround with us and look Into the situation first hand. "So far there has not been received here any communication from the Port land Water Board. Instead the Board had a hill Introduced In Congress by Mr. Lafferty precluding any road build ing1 In the reserve. "Falling to get the bill passed by the last Congress, It has "been intro duced during the special session by Mr. Lafferty and Senator Lane. "In the meantime Hood River has been busy with other members of Con gress asking that before the bill Is al lowed to become a law, all the light possible be thrown npon the subject. While Hood River wants the Lost Lake road some day. she realises that It will be impossible to get It without the con. sent of Portland. Effect la East Showa. "In the Catsklll Mountains, the City df New York has built the largest reservoir In the world. It compounds the water from half the streams of the Adirondack. The reservoir la done. In building it a great many roads were destroyed. Now that It Is finished, and these roads have to be replaced. New York proposes to build an auto mobile road along the entire north aide of her wonderful reservoir, thus open ing up the territory that Is attractive to the traveler. And the road Is right alongside the reservoir which holds the water that Is to be furnished the city and suburbs of New York, a city of 6.000,000 people. "Hood River residents feel that a great number of Portland people have no knowledge of the Lost Lake road, of what It means to Portland, of what It means to Oregon, of what the various questions concerning the Water Board's Interest is, and they have no idea of what It means as an attraction to the tourist that Portland wants so badly." personalmention: L.
