Asslatant District Forecaster.
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.

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.
