M' ARTHUR, 1 ORTY miles southeast of Bend H stands Paulina I'enk. overlooking Paulina Iake. These geographical features and their immediate surround ings are among the most interesting in Oregon and deserve far more atten tion from Oregonians than they have had in the past. The geological his tory of the Paulina Mountains is fully as romantic as that of Crater Lake and the general picturesqueness of th country should attract visitors from all parts of the state. Last Fall the writer visited Paulina Peak and the view to be obtained from the summit is probably unsurpassed In Oregon, it not in tha entire Pacific Northwest. The remarkable feature of the picture seen from Paulina Peak lies in the fact that the whole Cascade Kange from Mount Adams to Mount Shasta lies in a panorama and in addi tion practically the whole of Central Oregon and the Blue Mountains can be seen to the east. Paulina Peak is an Isolated spire. 8500 feet high, east ot the Deschutes River, and, located as it Is. it gives an unobstructed view of the Cascade Kange from an elevation that brings out every feature of the great mountain chain. Excellent views may be had from the peaks of the Caj I rade Range itself, but in every instance the sweep of the chain is distorted and thrown out of balance. From Paulina Peak the effect is different. The great collection ot mountains Is seen practi cally from one end to the other, each peak retaining its own Individuality and lmprcssiveness. One Rad Impassable. Our party of four left Portland by automobile at noon on a Saturday, over the Barlow road for Mount Hood, the road being above the average in con dition tor most of the way and no dif ficulty was encountered en route. From Summit House, east of the Government Camp, there are two roads down into Central Oregon, a fact that many peo ple do not know, though the knowl edge does not stand for much, as one of these roads, the old Barlow road. Is impassible from Summit House east ward. This old road follows the val ley of White River toward Tygh Val Iry and should not be confused with the Oak Grove road from Summit House to Wapinitia. which is the main-traveled road, erroneously known to some as the B&rlow road. Summit House is certainly a misnomer, because the place is really a mountain meadow and larks a good deal ot being on the sum mit. The real summit of the Cascade Range is reached a short distance east of Summit House, afte:- climbing Thousand-Yard Hill. Just beyond the sum mit is a little mountain pond dignlftet by the name of Frog Lake, not a bad place to camp, though the watersjs cer tainly not Inviting. Frog Lake is just 4 mil's from Portland. During the night or cur stay forest fires were rag. ing a few miles southwest near Clear Lake and auu mobiles traveled through all night long, carrying men and sup plies.' One passed out early in the morning with a wiunded Are fighter and brought tha welcome news that the Are did not reach the Oak Grove road and that progress could still be made inio Central Oregon. Flae Oak Trm AtmiA Trie Oak Grove road passes through magnificent forests, largely fir near the summit, but gradually changing into pine, with less underbrush, as you travel eastward. We passed several old clearings left by mountain mills and crossed Clear Creek, a tributary to White River. N'ot far from Clear Creek the Forest' Service has made ex tensive improvements at a magnificent spring, bursting forth in several places, clear and cold. A substantial fence has been built to prevent contamina tion by fctoc and troughs have' been Installed for the convenience of graxers In the National forests. Waplnit!a. said to mean "oak grove" In one of the Indian tongues, is surely well named, for before reaching that plaro fine oak trees are plentirtiL Wap jnitia is the last outpost from the north . x . - -4 toward tne Warm spring Indian Reser vation. Few Oregonians have much knowl edge of the Warm Springs Reservation. It is a great tract of land, varying in character, with really wonderful views in places. Traveling through low hills and little prairies, we suddenly burst onto a great hole in the ground, 200U feet deep and several miles across. Af ter threading our way down and up we hit the plain again, only to come to a still deeper gash in the landscape, ri- vailing the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado in beauty and depth of coloring Through this flows the Warm Springs River. Steep) Hills Encomtered. At the agency one turns east to the steel bridge across the Deschutes at Mecca and then there is another one of the -hills that test automobiles in Eastern Oregon, long steep slopes. "With no breathing places, and no water for hot cylinders. They must be taken slowly and easily, but the effort is well repaid at the Mecca grade, for the view down into the Deschutes Canyon and onto the reservation beyond is certain ly well worth the having. From Agency Plains, at the. top of the Mecca grade. It is a long straight shot into Bend, through Madras, Meto lius. Culver, Redmond and Deschutes. Skirting big buttes. splashing through irrigation ditches, with the rocky can yon of Crooked River to cross, it is a fine ride for the night time. As we dipped down the Crooked River grade our right of way was contested by a traveler who seemed to think he had priority. As we made down on him he tried to get in the clear at last, but skidded and could not get sufficient traction in the dust to get out of the ruts. We stopped. Mr. Porcupine ruffled up his quills, puffed out of the road and ambled Into the darkness. The next nocturnal traveler was I skunk. Nature has certainly pro vlded porcupines and skunks with ex cellent protective apparatus. Mr. Skunk was diffident about meeting us and he reelected our views exactly. No de butantes were ever more bashful. By the time he crawled under a juniper tree we were in high gear and no time to waste. Wnl Side Road Fair. Hotel accommodations sufficed us at Bend and bright and early the next day we headed for Paulina Lake. The main road south of Bend on the east side of the Deschutes River is so badly cut up by auto trucks on the Silver Lake run that it should be avoided ti possible. We crossed the river at Bend ani after maneuvering through the smoking ruins of a sawmill and lumber yards and over half-made rail road grade, we found the west side road and then all went swimmingly. This road is in good condition and anion other things affords a fine little side trip to Benham Falls, where we had lunch and tried to get a few fish. Benham Falls is a long series of rapids. Across the river is Lava Butte and its extensive lava fields, that interest so many travelers. About six miles south of Benham Falls is the head of Spring River, which is probably the shortest river In Oregon. It is less then a mile from the place where Spring River bursts out of .the ground to the point where It flows into the Deschutes. For what It lacks In length it makes up in breadth, however, and it is a fine stream, clear and cold, and the springs that form it are truly remarkable for their volume. OI4 Uilsurki Fanad, " From the head of Spring River one road continues south up the Deschutes, while the other crosses east to the set tlement of Harper. Karper bursts into publicity before you get there with the inviting sign announcing "Livery Stable. Hay and Table Board." or words to that effect. Paulina Creek comes into the east fork of the Des chutes about five miles south of Harper, and from Harper one must take the main east side road through to Lapine and Silver Lake. This road is badly cut up. but we made our w-ay through the dust without difficulty past the Allen and Vandervert ranches. 1 old landmarks in this section. The road to Paulina Lake turns off to the left, and the lake is about 12 miles from the Deschutes, with a good stiff climb all the way. rising 2500 feet in the 12 mles. It might be-well in pass ing, to say that the only reliable map covering the Deschutes' Valley is one issued by the Forest ' Service for the Deschutes National Forest, copies of which may be secured In Bend and Portland. This is a first-class travel map and better than all the guide and tour books that could be loaded in a machine. There is a ranger station at Paulina Lake and one at Hot Springs, on East Lake, four miles east, and travelers will find plenty of signboards erected by the Forest Service tellingr of the whereabouts of the ranger stations. Cattle Block Roadway, The road crosses Paulina Creek a few miles from the Deschutes, then follows up the south bank of the creek all the way to the lake. . It was dark long before we reached our destina tion, and our voyage was uneventful except for a bunch of cattle that got on the road ahead, and refused to get off. The faster we ran the machine the faster ran the cattle. When we slowed, so did they. When we got out and tried to herd them on foot, they moved up the road a bit. This grew monotonous soon, and we- followed them several miles before they took a side trail. It was late in the evening when we reached the ranger station at the foot of the lake, and a dismal place it was in the dark. The outlet of the lake. which forms Paulina Creek, is an evil looking little stream, full of water growths, and it was so dark that the only place we could find to camp was in a pumice flat, amid a grove of iodgepole pines. The Iodgepole is not much of a tree at best, and it is particularly poor at 6500 feet above sea level. It doesn't even make good firewood. We had an extension cord andj lamp to fit in one of the headlights, and the storage bat terv accumulated enough energy dur ing the day to give us plenty ot light at night. We generally arranged the light near the fire so it would shine down into the kettles. We had the dis tinction of setting up om? of the first electric plants in that part of the Na tional Forests, and did not get a re vocable permit from the Government either. Fire Observers at Tip of Peak. Bright and early the next morning we were on a hunt for a new camp. At the ranger station was a substantial looking telephone in an iron case and we took a chance, giving the bell a long ring. Pine Mountain ranger sta tion. 20 miles to the east answered at once, and obligingly got the lookout at the top of Paulina Peak, 2000 feet above the lake. Mr. and Mrs. Allen live in a little house a the very top of the peak, watching for forest fires, day and night, and when they are ob served, report is made at once to Bend by telephone, together with the direc tion in degrees of the circle. If the fire is to the south, the lookout on Walker Mountain takes a sight on the blaxe and telephones in his direction in degrees and it is easy for the men in the Bend office to spot the exact location, within a quarter section, and operations are at once set in motion for stopping the blaxe. Mrs. Allen told us Immediately where the spring was. also how to get the boat out and other useful information. There was something weird about standing out in a forest. ' miles from anywhere, and conversing with people on mountain tops, over the telephone. We soon had our camp moved ' to a point near the spring, and then headed for the lake, which is to be reached by crossing the outlet and walking through the trees a hundred yards to the northeast- PaallKa Peak Mass af Lava. Paulina Lake is difficult to surpass. It is about two miles in diameter, witfc woods down to the very edge, and the water Is clear and blue. The outlet Is the only objectionable part about It, and this is soon out . of sight. Just south of the lake, running up nearly 2000 feet in the sheer, is Paulina Peak, a great mass of lava, with a magnifi cent precipice between it and the lake. Geologists who have studied the lo cality are of the opinion that there was once a gigantic mountain on this spot, which has received the name of Mount Newberry, in honor of Dr. John Strong Newberry, one of the geologists who studied the features of Oregon for the Pacific Railway survey more than half a century ago. Mount Newberry was about as large as Mount Rainier or Mount Marama. Its crater became enlarged by some means or another, and the glacial ice cut down its sides and top. especially to the northwest. After much glacial action, a great amphitheater remained of which Paulina Peak is still the dom inant feature. This amphitheater filled with water, held In by a moraine at the northwest, and thus a lake was formed. At some leter date a series of craters built themselves in - a north and south line across this amphithe ater, at least five of them. These craters made a sort of partition, 'di viding the lake in two parts, which still exist, Paulina Lake and East Lake. ' The latter is about the same sixe as Paulina- Lake, and it is four miles from the . ranger atatlon at Paulina to Hot Springs Station on East Lake. The lake and mountains were named for an Indian chief. Paulina, who roamed the Central Ore gon country many- years ago, and finally came to an untimely end. .; ' View la L'asurpassed. There is a good trail from Paulina Lake to the lookout on the peak, and it is well worth the climb, which may be made in less than -two hours. The lumber for the. house was pulled up on sleds. . The view from the top is unsurpassed. Even the details on the rim of Crater Lake stand out clear and distinct, and other peaks are ranged In view. Mount Adams. Mount Hood, Olallie Butte, Black Butte. Mount Jef ferson, Three Fingered Jack, Mount Washington, the Three Sisters, Bach elor Butte, Maiden Peak,' Diamond Peak, . Cowhorn, Sawtooth, Mount Thielsen, Mount Scott on Crater Lake, Mount McLoughlin and Mount Shasta are all visible, and in addition literally hundreds of lesser peaks, all along the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range buttes throughout the Deschutes Valley and Central Oregon and far off to the east the Blue Mountains. To the south are. seen Silver Lake and Summer Lake, and Fork Rork, in' the desert country. Paulina Peak cer tainly gives a view of the' Cascade Range that cannot be duplicated, and for that reason alone is worth . the climb. We stayed at the lake two days, then traveled .to Lapine, and across the East Fork to the Deschutes River, camping -at the fish traps at Pringle Falls. A small power plant Is being installed, which has. spoiled the orig inal beauty of this, place. After spend ing the night at Pringle Falls, we re turned fo Bend for the hsmeward trip to the Willamette Valley over the McKenxie road. ' The Paulina Peak trip is an easy one that should appeal to Portlanders, and during that part of the year when the roads are good, it Is no trick to drive an automobile to within 2000 feet of the summit. When we visited the lake the fishing was poor, but it had been a great deal better, and the presence of two boats on the lake makes It pos sible to troll for the big fellows, of which there are said to be plenty. We did not attempt to take the automobile over to East Lake, as the road was little bad in spots. The owners of- the hot springs at East Lake are improv ing this road, with the idea of making a Summer resort out of their property. News and Gossip of Plays and Players. By Leone Cam Baer.. -v x ESPITE denials and more denials I I by the people immediately con- - cerned, the statement is constant ly being giv-eh out by New York dra matic publications that Lou-Tellegen and Geraldine Farrar are to be married within a month. ' This "statement is apparently made on the best of authority., and is believed to be true, despite the fact that when similar report was current in the early Autumn both the actor and the prima donna denied that there was any foundation for it. The admiration which Mr. Tellegen and Miss Farar have for each other has been evident to their friends for many months. Their friendship pro gressed while both were acting for mo tion pictures In California and has ripened perceptibly since their return East. That the wedding bells will ring by February 1 is the firm belief of their intimates. Speaking of denials of reported en gagements Guy Bates Post is among those who are doing it. He denies that he is to wed Adele Ritchie. A report that the star of "Omar the Tentmaker" and the blonde prima donna were en gaged has been floating down the Ki- alto. Mr.. Post, hearing of it, has wired) denial from .Washingtton, D. C, where he is playing.

It has been found that 25000 is needed to carry on the work at Pisgah Home and it is expected that the greater part of the sum will be obtained on Primrose day.

Lopokova is appearing at the Bandbox Theater just now in New xom. The Irish olayers from the Abbey Theater, Dublin, soon will sail for this country to play a series of enga ments. The organization, which has just concluded a successful season un der the direction of St. John Irvine, has acquired several new plays. This Is the company in which Lady Gregory is interested. She visited Port land recently in oenati oi us iorma- tion. Amelie Rives, as she is known to her stage friends, or the Princess Troubets koy, as she is known in the parlor, gave staid Boston a sudden start re cently, when she calmly puffed a cig arette through her veil while witness ing a rehearsal of her new play, "Blackmail." The playwright did not aDnear concerned and gave it as her oDtnion when questioned that a cigar- rette was the'best little health detector extant. " After exchanging a few words with a friend at the theater she said, with little respect for puritanical Boston's feelings: "I don't suppose I may smoke in here: let's go outside. - Beina- a law-abiding personage, she inquired of an attendant in the lobby: "Mavi I smoke here? "Why. I guess nobody'll say anything to stop you," said the amazed young man. "I'm ,sure it can't do any harm," re marked the Princess. Amiably unaware that they were talking at cross purposes Bhe adjusted a long, delicate holder and pushed up her veil. '- v " "A cigarette is the best test of health I know," she said. "If you re not leel- Iner nil right it tastes bad." The veil would not stay up so she let it fall and smoked through it. "But I'm so well now that I feel like a new person. I was born over again, five years ago, after being sick and miserable for 16 years. I had chronic appendicitis and didn't know it. Now I'm so full of vitality that one of the company said to me the other day: Its too bad for you to get so keyed up over the play.' I' wasn't a bit keyed up that was Just my normal spirits.." ' Mrs. Fiske is to appear in "Krsrt-. while Susan," a play of Pennsylvania Dutch life, at the' ualety ineater. in New York. Her engagement opens next TuesBay. This will mark Mrs. Flske's first public metropolitan ap pearance in more than two years. Va rious plans have beer under way from time to time for her return to the stage since she last acted Mrs. Bump- stead Leigh, but no satisfactory com edy could be found for her until lately. Her present play concerns almost en tirely the humors of the Dutch that live in and about Lebanon, Easton and adjacent Pennsylvania towns. Marlon de Forest wrote "Erstwhile Susan," founding It upon a novel by Helen H. Martin, called "Barnabetta." Mrs. Martin is the first writer who has ever succeeded in putting the Penn sylvania Dutch folk between the cov- ' ers of a book. Miss de Forest's play, therefore, is the first occasion for put ting those folk upon the stage. Erstwhile Susan, the character acted by Mrs. Fiske. is not one of the Dutch. She is a somewhat eccentric teacher of elocution from Iowa. Her company in cludes John Cope, Madeline Delmar, Ed ward Robins, John Daly Murphy, Rob ert Stowe Gill and Hugh Chilvers. Those who do not work gradually drift away. None, however, are turned away. Those who are able to work receive some task Those who are 111 are turned over to some philanthropic hos pital or medical society so that all are cared for. Pisgah Home has played an Important part in keeping Portland clear from a large number of undesir ables. Mrs. Hattie B. Lawrence, known' as the Pisgah Mother, superintends the home.

He plays the part of an old sport, fond of a good time, who objects to his son's staid ways. Hopper has an encounter with a real lion and his experiences are thrilling, as well as comic. Other scenes show the comedian living a wild life with chorus girls, and he gets his son into some peculiar yet laughable predicaments. Villainous Hinuoos anu a treacherous Count figure lr the com plications that occur. It all ends hap pily, however, and Sunshine Dad Hop per proves himself worthy of the hand of 'Widow Wedagaln, played by Fay Tincher. Helen Holmes had never driven speed launch until last week and then not until she tried it in a scene. She had leaped from a cliff into the ocean and the action required her to swim to the speed launch, start the engine and engage in a mad race with an ex press train.
