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.

tion were:
