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."

WESTMIXISTEB PRESBYTERIAV STRUCTTRB WHICH WIL.I. BE OPENED W THE FAI,I
The six days' campaign of members of ths Westminister Presbyterian Church to raise $25,000 to com
plete their new edifice at East Seventeenth and Hancock streets, the stonework of which has already been
completed at a cost of $65,000, came to a successful close with J25.555 which had been raised last nint.
Four teams of ten men each made 575 calls and received 21 subscriptions, which averaged $119
each. It was impossible to see all the persons Interested as was Intended, owing to some being out and
the time limited. Subscriptions are looked for from theBe persons. Andrew Porter. F. P. Lock wood, A.. B.
Doyle and J. L. Bowman were the captains of the teams. Rev. Henry Marcotte Is pastor of the church.
In addition to aforementioned sums, a loan of $40,000 has been secured, and the lot. wnlcn covers an
entire block, was purchased at a cost of $20,000. The investment will represent $150,000 when completed.
The congregation hopes to occupy the new church late in the Fall. . .
A Sale of Pi
The best way is to look every
where for the best new piano or
player piano to be had at a cer
tain price, then come to the
big piano house where the ex
act same grade and quality will
be found during this sale for
just about 35 per cent less. It's.
almost too good to be true, but
it's true-that's why so many
people are buying here each day
We have told the story of this, sale
several times. We are not going to
take up time to again state why we
are selling this large wholesale stock
of pianos and player pianos and baby
grands at such great reductions In
price. Come and see the Instruments,
try them, test them.' compare them.
There is no reason why every West
ern home should not now have a good
piano. It need not be the costliest
baby grand of Chlckerlng or Kimball
or Sohmer make which are also in
cluded in this sale at greatly reduced
prices, but surely every home is in
position to invest $1 a week until $155
or at least $138 has been paid. For this
low price quite a number of really good
medium-sized and genuine mahogany-
cased pianos are offered, for which reg
ularly $250. $275 and even 30U is
asked. Somewhat more elaborate and
regular $325 and $375 values are re
duced to $168 and $1S5; all new, war

couraged that he ordered a new suit of

wait for the new clothes, so came here
wearing his working duds. This was
the fatal mistake.
Burns called on the young woman
and immediately asserted his proprie

she said:
"I was only Joking. I do not want
to marry anybody. Give me back my.
letters this Instant-"
"Give back your letters nothing.
shrieked the irate rancher. "This Is no
Joke. You sent me your regards In
every letter and you've got to marry
me. I've already spent Z3.33 zor a suit

He then visited police headquarters.

sent for an attorney, who gave the
lovelorn rancher this advice: . '
"Better give her up. You might pos

him ever afterwards."
