SELDOM has a more noteworthy event taken place in .Portland than the escorting of Chief For ester H. S. Graves, of the United States Forest Service, last Saturday over the Columbia River Highway as the gruest of the Chamber of Commerce. The event was especially significant in that more than 35 of Portland's rep resentative and most influential citi zens arose at an early hour and had breakfast together 25 miles from Port land before most people were out of bed. It was a striking commentary on the earnest, co-operative aggres siveness of the business men of Port land in a matter entirely in the in terest of the public. Promptly at 6 o'clock on the morn ing of July 17 the party met at the Commercial Club building and pro ceeded by automobile to Crown Point Chalet, where all were the guests of Amos S. Benson at an excellent break fast served by Mrs. Henderson, the proprietress of the chalet. Among those who made the trip were: Henry S. Graves, Chief of the United States Forest Service; Mayor H. R. Albee, C C. Colt, president Portland Chamber of Commerce; Representa tives in Congress C. N. McArthur and K. J. Sinnott, Japanese Consul K. Karaasakl. H. L. Plttock, Samuel Hill, Samuel C. Lancaster, Jacob Kanzler, J. C Ainsworth, president and man ager United States National Bank; Major H. L. Bowlby, Amos S. Benson, J. B. Teon, roadmaster Columbia River Highway; E. A. Clark, Walter P.

Carroll, Lloyd McDowell, of the publicity department. Chamber of Commerce: Marshall Dana, G. S. Crego, W. A. Van Scoy, Pathe "Weekly, and the following representa tives of the United States Forest Serv ice: E. A. Sherman, assistant forester: Herbert A. Smith, editor; George H. Cecil, district forester; T. J. Schuyler, C J. Buck, T. H. Sherrard, B. J. Finch and R. S. Shelley. Recreation Ground Wanted, The object of the Journey was three fold: (1) the setting aside of some 14.000 acres of wonderful mountain re gion as a public recreation ground for ever; (2) the development of these lands in such manner that they can be of the greatest service to the pub lic, and (3) the completion of the Mount Hood road from the upper end of Hood River Valley around the enowcap to Government Camp on the Zigzag River, thus completing the greatest scenic highway in the world A loop road of 175 miles clear around Mount Hood from Portland and re turn will then be a reality. The. establishing of a great recrea tion ground extending for 20 miles along the south side of the Columbia to include all the gorges, - creeks, ter races and forest, and . extending back along the breaks a distance of from a quarter of a mile to three miles, is the original Idea of Jacob Kanzler, while the completion of the last link in the great loop around Mount Hood has been the idea and dream of Rufus C. Holman. The new Chamber of Commerce, through its president, C. C. Colt, real izing the value of these projects to the community, has inaugurated a movement in co-operation with the forest service to effect their consum mation. The trip over the highway -was planned and carried out under its auspices. Visitors Shown Scenic Scanty, From Crown Point which really should be rechristened Lancaster Polnf, in honor of Samuel Lancaster, the man whose conception of the beautiful pro duced for the highway this crowning feature of matchless scenic splendoi the party proceeded leisurely over the highway on Its- tour of sightseeing and inspection. Frequent etopa were Hi v f X '-WV i - i-- ! t xi,-r. v made at especially interesting points o enable all to more thoroughly en joy the wonderful beauty of the Co lumbia River and the proposed public recreation grounds. Short stops were made at Multnomah Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Oneonta Gorge, and at nearly all tbe bridges, which have been designed along entirely new lines by Mr. Lancaster. These bridges are built of reinforced con crete, combining both arreat strength and artistic effect. At noon the party reached Eagle Creek, about 42 miles from Portland, where a picnic lunch was served by the Chamber of Com merce The manner in which the Columbia Highway has been located to produce the maximum scenic effect, from the tiny fern-clad glen, with its picturesque detail, to the great sweeping pano ramas of mountain, river and . forest, makes it the grandest creation of its Kind. , . There are many famous, roads In the world, where some one, or a few special features have given them tame. But the Columbia has not only one bid for recognition for fame, but It possesses a wealth of striking features, any one of which would make It famous. Tunnel la lnlqoe. Crown Point or Multnomah- Falls, with the two gracefully arched bridges in the foreground alone, would make the road as celebrated as ' any road in Switzerland or along the Rhine. Tet there is another remark able feature on this road, which few have yet seen or know anything about. This is the unique tunnel now nearing completion through Mitchell's Point, six miles west of Hood River. The tunnel is 400 feet long, hewn out of solid rock. It is 20 feet, wide and 19 feet high. As a mere tunnel Uhere is nothing unusual about it. but i' is characterized by five huge win dows, with great columns of the orig- inial rocK between, cut through the & A .tr Zi if:-'- " J-Z fyf:ir- -' : .' T wall of the outer side, which overlooks the Columbia River. From within, the tunnel the windows frame ,th most beautiful and charm ing view of the Washington side of the river. These rock-cased windows are 20 feet wide and extend from the floor to the roof of the tunnel. Across the bottom a concrete railing with seats alongside will be constructed for the convenience of the tourist. Owing to the- great thickness of the wall near the east end of the tunne no windows are cut, but from the one farthest to the east a shelf guarded by a rail .will be carved out of the side of the cliff for- a short distance. enabling one to walk with safety alon the face of the mountain. The point through which the tunnel runs is sheer several hundred feet to the railroad track Immediately beneath. Only Two Similar Tnnocla. There are only two other tunnels of a similar nature in, the world, one on the famous Axenstrasse along the shore of Lake Lucerne, In Switzer land, and the other the Defile de Ruoms. on the, Ardcehe. In Southern France. In a word .what the Axenstrasse has done in making Lucerne famous to the tourist,' what the Appian Way has done for Rome, and what the Crypto maria avenue leading to the famous Temple of Nikko is to Japan, so will the Columbia River Highway be to the cities of Portland and Hood River, the State of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The Forest Service recognizes and fully appreciates ' what has been done so far In making available to the citizens of Portland, the state and the country at large the great natural beauty lying almost at their doors. It Is willing to co-operate to the best of its ability in making still more complete the general scheme as planned by those who are looking forward to piece of the' world for scenic effect will be followed to the minutest de tail in the location survey. A max imum grade of 5 per cent will ba fol lowed with no curves shorter than 100 feet if possible. Those who were responsible for the conception, construction and comple tion of the Columbia River Highway will be Invited to make comments and suggestions in the work of selecting the salient features. In order that the maximum scenic effect consistent with good engineering practice may be pro duced. The scenery along the proposed high way Is of an entirely different charac ter from that found along the Columbia River Gorge and Hood River Valley and adds greatly to the value of the latter road. Yet It la no less impressive and In many respects Is far superior, for here the traveler comes ln actual con tact with the central and'crownlng ob jective point of the whole great scheme the snow-clad summit of Mount Hood. After a run of 100 miles along the waters of the mighty Columbia past towering cliffs, crags and serrated ter races; having felt the cooling spray from a dozen rainbow-tinted waterfalls, over bridges and viaducts of marvelous beauty In their design and construc tion, through miles of orchards In Hood River Valley, the traveler will sud denly find himself In a wilderness of virgin forest. Mount Hood la Reached. The proposed road begins about 25 miles south of the City of Hood River within the Oregon National forest, at an elevation of about 3100 feet. From this point it will gradually wind Its way higher and higher up the canyon of Cold Spring Creek to an elevation of 5000 feet at Elk Meadows, a most charming expanse of mountain park. From this point magnificent detailed views of the glaciers, snow fields and ridges of Mount Hood are close at hand. An easy climb of two or three miles finds one among the crevasses and Ice pinnacles of Newton Clark Glacier. From Elk Meadows the road again plunges Into the forest and con tinues to the canyon of East Fork of Hood River, but glimpses of tbe moun tain are to be had frequently through openings among the trees. To the east from the higher eleva tions the great expanse of the Eastern Oregon plateau beyond the Deschutes River is visible, with the dark rim of the Blue Mountains fading gradually away in the distance along the horizon. After crossing the East Fork of Hood River. Hood River Meadows, similar to Elk Meadows, are soon reached. From this point It Is an easy climb of three miles to the foot of White River Gla cier. Bennett Pass Is only two miles or so further on. where the road begins to descend to the old historic Barlow trail and will follow it three miles to Government Camp, at an elevation of 40CiO feet, from which point the road which the late Mr. Wemme started to improve before his death leads down the Zigzag and Sandy rivers back to Portland. Loop Trip Is Day's Ride. When tho Mount Hood road Is com pleted it will be possible to leave Port land at 8 o'clock In the morning and make this wonderful Journey around the 175-mile loop and return In time for dinner in the evening.! The Columbia Highway and the Mount Hood road, in addition to the matchless scenic wonders which they reveal, will also play an important part with regard to the health of tbe gen eral public. The great Cascade Range, running north and south through Oregon, di vides the state into two distinct cli mates. To the west of the mountains is the moisture-laden air of the Wil lamette Valley and seacoast, while to the east of the mountains is the high, dry, invigorating atmosphere of East ern Oregon. In the short distance of 65 mllea runninsr east and wt h change takes place. Those of Oregon who desire to util ize to tne utmost the benefits which a change of climate will give to the peo ple, and particularly to little children and Invalids, will not be subjected to the hardship of great expense and pro longed separation from their friends and relatives which a journey to dis tant states orten necessitates. Within a few hours' ride the healthseeker can find all that he desires in the way of change of climate to bring him back to strength and vigor. LO.VO BORE IS AUTISTIC WORK Tunnel at Mitchells Point Has Many Impressive Features. HOOD RIVER. Or.. July 24 (Spe cial.) As the crews of men of the Standlfer - Clarkson Company are bringing to completion the tunnel of the Columbia River Highway at Mitchells Point, or Storm Cliff, as tbe Hood River people are hoping the gl gantic cliff will be officially desig nated, the visitors to the scene of work are made to realize more and more the unique and Impressive ' features of the long bore through the solid basalt. It Is a novel piece of highway engineer Ing work and one that has never been surpassed. The great windows. 20 feet in diameter and with walls 10. 12 and 15 feet In thickness, seem the em brasurea of some legendary giant's castle. The tunnel Is on the north aide of Mitchells Point. The five big win dows oiM-n about 95 feet directly above the tracks of tho O.-W. R. & N. Com pany. Hecauso of the peculiar forma tion of the seemingly Interlocked strata of basalt the edges of the windows are serrated. Just as though carved by Eome enormous design. Until the long 250-foot concrete via duct leading around the bare cliff side is completed there will be a sheer 90 loot drop to the railway track from the west cntrarce to the tunnel. Workmen rnd visiting parties have reached the tunnel mouth by a series of latders. The tunnel and this con crete bridge set on the side of Mitch ells Point will uiake the third of i mile of Colombia River Highway at this ptint one of the most attractive fea tures of the great scenic boulevard.
