RURAL PRESS RECORDS INCIDENTS THAT AMUSE Rainier Review Chronicles Treatment Received by Farmers From Motor ists and Announces Attitude for Favors in Future. MANY amusing incidents, peculiar to rural life, are recorded in news and editorial by various Oregon writers. Several items gath ered from state papers follow: Among the curiosities exhibited as old relics at the county fair this week is an old rocking chair by Postmaster W. C. Wilson, which was made by his great-grandfather in Pennsylvania in 3771, also an old-time pewter platter iish and an earthern pitcher, both nearly lo0 years old the platter form erly owned by his grandmother and the pitcher by Sirs. Wilson's grandmother. AH three are indeed rare curiosities, says the Joseph Herald. ... While in conversation with D. T. Werschkul, of Cloverdale. a few days ago. he informed us that while digging a deep ditch through some of his bot--tom land this Summer he discovered nine feet below the surface of the ground a fireplace, says the Tillamook Herald. The fireplace was composed of three and. four layers of stones one upon the other. It was oval shape, about three feet across it and five feet long. At the center the ground was scooped out somewhat and in the de pression was found about a bushel or more of ashes and embers of a one time fire. An interesting question is, how long ago and by whom was the fire place built? ... The train from Juntura Monday night was delayed several hours in Malheur Canyon, awaiting the arrival of a fresh train crew to continue the journey, records the Vale Enterprise. Under the laws of the state a train crew is not permitted to work more than ll hours in any one day. Know ing the crew on duty would exceed the statutory time if a new crew were not secured, a wire was sent to Xampa for an engine and a fresh crew. This did not arrive in time, and promptly when their 16 hours expired the train stopped as required by law, and the entire out fit waited in Malheur canyon till the new crew arrived from Nampa, which was at midnight, and it was 1 o'clock in the morning when the train pulled out. Besides the passenger coaches the train carried 25 carloads of cattle and 14 carloads of sheep. ... Mrs. Lillian Colter swam across the Siuslaw from Glenada to Florence a few days ago, according to the Florence West. So far as we know she is the first white woman to perform this feat on the lower river. ... A party in an auto from Portland stopped at the John Jegerson place near Apiary a few days ago and stayed over night, says the Rainier Review. It is said that they made a regular "bell hop" out of Mr. Jegerson. They ordered this and they ordered that and just must have toast for breakfast, and after receiving all these things they pulled out tor Portland wlthOMt saying as much as thank you for the courtesy. Such treatment as this from Portland autoists to the farmers will soon put them in a sorry plight. The farmers back of this place have always been noted for their kind ness and generosity, but they will have to be treated different from this if the traveling public expects to receive favors in time of need from their hands. While coming down Second street Monday morning to take the local train for Biggs Alfred Vogel's hat blew off just in front of H. L Kuck's harness shop and rolled down the gutter to wards the Golden Rule store, according to The Dalles Chronicle. A man who was a stranger to Mr. Vogel, who proved to be Walter Bain, of Sherman County, gave the hat a kick and sent it across the street in the direction of F. fc. running's blacksmith slop. This enraged Mr. Vogel and he slapped Bain in the face with bis open hand, knock ing him to the sidewalk. Mr. Vogel hurried on to the depot where Mrs. Vogel was waiting. , Bain had Vogel arrested and when arraigned before Judge C. W. Moore, he stated the facts just as they occurred and the case was dismissed. ... Dr. Hawkins cut his finger the other day, according to the Newberg Enter prise. Was advised to put some car bolic acid on it; did so; pulled a rubber finger stall over finger and thought it was all right. But it wasn't; too much carbolic- inside that rubber finger stall and the end of the finger was eaten off. The Castle Rock Advocate says: We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Joe Price, Jr.,. of Green Mountain, for a ham of a young bear which Mr. P. killed the first of the week. We never Imagined that bear meat could be so good. It was simply delicious. $50,000 Paid for An to Licenses. HARRISBTJRG. Oct. 1. Motorcycle owners in Pennslyvania have paid the State Treasury 30.000 since the first of the year. The number of such veh cles granted licenses by the state high way department is 16,800. WITH the formal dedication of the trail up Larch Mountain last Sunday, undetr the auspices of the Progressive Business Men's Club, an other of Oregon's scenic attractions was made accessible to the public. Larch Mountain, one of the main peaks at the western edge of the Cas cade Range, 4045 feet high, commands a magnificent view of the Columbia River Gorge for miles in both direc tions. But aside from this view, the mountain, with its heavy timber and many picturesque features, is worth go ing miles to see. The trail from Multnomah Falls, on the O.-W. R. & N.. to the summit rf the peak is just CO feet more than six and one-half miles long. An able- bodied hiker can climb to the summit in three and one-half to four hours with ease. This trail in places follows the upper portion of Multnomah Creek, which fornrtB the world-famous Multnomah Falls where it drops over a cliff 800 feet high at one side of the Columbia River Highway, near the river. It is not generally known that It has other falls only less picturesque far above Multnomah Falls. The trail passes these falls and other places of rare nat ural beauty. Club Aids In Trail Building. The building of the trail at a cost of approximately $S000 was made pos sible by the combined efforts of the Progressive Business Men's Club, the United States Forest Service and S. and Amos Benson. With its dedication and formal opening last Sunday it is now easily possible for sightseeing parties to leave Portland on an O.-W. R. & N. train at 7:50 o'clock A. M., climb to the summit, pass an hour or so there, return to Multnomah Falls in timo to get a Portland-bound train at 4:07 P. M. and be back in Portland at 5:33 o'clock the same evening. Stormy weather kept back some of the more timid who had intended to be present at the dedication ceremonies on the mount, but 25 indomitable ones, in cluding one woman, Mrs. George Jack son, braved the weather and climbed the trail. They were well repaid, too, for though it rained in torrents Satur day and Saturday night when the first two parties went up the trail, drenching them to the skin. It cleared off Sunday for the first day of Indian Summer weather. Frank E. Hilton In Ckarie. The first of the three parties into which the 25 were divided started for the summit Saturday morning, arriving there at 2 o'clock that afternoon. Frank E. Hilton, chairman of the gen eral Larch Mountain committee, was in charge and to his remarkable execu tive ability and energy was due much of tho success of the occasion. He got his party Into the log shelter on the summit, soon had a roaring log fire burning where they could dry out. and. better yet. had a hot dinner ready in a jiffy. He also prepared for the com fort of the next two parties. The second party, under H. R. Hayek, chairman of the trail committee if the Progressive Business Men's Club, start ed the climb from Multnomah Falls at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night. Despite the pouring rain, they got to the sum mit, using flash lights to see the trail, at 1 o'clock that morning. 'Hot coffee and a "regular" dinner, also steaming hot. was ready for them and some of a-o-j fj-om Ferrer A fz' s-t, ie early party insisted on giving up their blankets in their favor. The third party, led by Jacob Kanz Ier. didn't leave the train at Multnomah Falls until 1:30 o'clock in the morning, but by the aid of their flash lights and the moon, the sky having cleared at that hour, made remarkably good time. The six members of this party arrived at the spring, one and a half miles be low the summit, at 4:30 A. M., and took an hour's rest to eat sandwiches and make hot coffee, after w'.ich they re sumed the climb, arriving at 6 o'clock. Of course nobody in this party had a wink of sleep that night. Fla;r tnfurled on Tower. Mr. Kanzier had brought with him an American flag 20 by 30 feet, which, with a tarpaulin cover in which it was wrapped to keep it dry on the climb, weighed a good 10 pounds. He imme diately ran to the Forest Service ob servation tower on the summit and in a couple of minutes the flag was flying from its top. 85 feet above the ground. Few Humans Live as Long as They Might. Federal Health Sen-lee la Seeking to I'rolong Life Man of IStfc and lUth Centuries at 1G0. THE United States public health serv ice and the various health agencies of this country are working to pro long the average duration of life. In this they are obeying the desire for existence which is the strongest in stinct of mankind. Only a small pro portion of the human race rounds out its tour of duty on this earth. Some people are born with good bodies which they treat well. Barring accidents, they live a long time. Some people are born with poor bodies which they treat well. Barring accidents, they can live to a ripe old age. Some people are born with good bodies which they treat badly, and some people are born with poor bodies which they treat badly. They don't last long. It is recorded in Yorkshire in 1501 Henry Jenkins was born. He died in 1670, cut off at the age of 169. He re membered well the battle of Flodden Field This occurred in 1513, when he was 13 years of age. The Register of Chancery and other courts show the administration of oaths to him 140 years prior to his death. He gave deposition as witness when he was 157. In his young manhood, when he was a little more than 100, he was a remarkable swimmer. The term "old age" too frequently is another name for the falling due of the debts of youth. Over-eating, over drinking, over-playing, over-working, these are drafts on the bank of nature which sooner or later must be met. Sometimes the day of reckoning can be put off a little bit, but Dame Nature will not be wheedled out of her claim. The remarkable thing about Henry Jenkins is the fact that he has left behind him no rules of living which would enable one to duplicate his feat. In this he showed great self-repression. There is no royal road to old age. and it is not to be attained by a particular dietary or regimen of life. Perhaps the best rule may be expressed in one word, "moderation. Moderation in food, moderation in drink, moderation in the Joys and worries of life, modera tlon in work, moderation in recrea tion. equanimity of the mind, the soul and the body. These make for long tenure 01 111 e. Th formal dedication ceremonies be gan at 10 o clock with the reading of a chapter from the Book of Acts by Frank E. Hilton, father of Frank H. Hilton. Samuel C. Lancaster, the en gineer who designed and built the Columbia River Highway, led in a brief prayer. M. Hayek, as chairman of the trail committee, then reviewed the efforts of the Progressive Business Men's Club in raising money to complete the trail. He gave particular credit to four agen cies that he said had made the trail an actuality: The United States Forest Service, Progressive Business Men's Club. S. and Amos Benson and donors of the right of way. who were the Bri dal Veil Lumbering Company. Crown- illamette Paper Company. Charles H. Coopey and John Tauseher. The address of the day. which had been prepared by John H. Dundore. president of the Progressive Business Men s Club, who was unable to attend, was then read by J. P. Jaeger, the vice-president. Mr. Lancaster Elected President. Next on the programme came the or ganization of a club which will have for Its purpose the opening of ether trails into scenic points through the state that are now practically Inacces sible; the building of a comfortable house on the summit, with water and sanitary facilities, and the setting aside of Multnomah. Eagle Creek and One onta watersheds as game preserves and stocking of the streams with fish. Samuel C. Lancaster was unanimous ly elected president in recognition of his deep interest and personal efforts for the opening of the trail and all present became charter members. A committee with J. P. Jaeger as its chairman was then appointed to draw up constitution and by-laws, with in structions to make an early report. It is the intention to throw this or ganization open to the general public at nominal dues of say fl a year, in order to arouse wide interest in its work. After dinner at 11 .o'clock the de scent began at noon. The whole party took the Portland train at Multnomah Falls at 4:07 o'clock. Those who took part in the celebra tion were: Frank H. Hilton, Frank E. Hilton, Joseph P. Jaeger. Master Lloyd Jaeger. R. H. At kinson. I,. E. Statz. Shelby L. Wiggins, Master Alirn Hoffman. Frank Barrlnser. I'. H. Kneeland". C. E. Hoyt. Owen Summer. A.
