It is realized by the committee members that never has there been a more appropriate time for emphasizing patriotism, such as Flag day does, than this year. The day comes on June 14 and will be celebrated all over the country. It is thought likely that a special holiday for the whole state may be pro claimed. A request will be made that Governor Withycombe proclaim a noli day so that there may be a complete cessation from business. The entire committee, consisting of Chairman Wagner, Judge Gantenbein, Harry W. Allen. A. W. Orton, E. E, Curtis and George Ij. Baker, attended yesterday's meeting.

War Veterans and auxiliary societies, have been asked to participate and have ac cepted. School children will probably take part, and the Boy Scouts will attend.

Pertlanders to Climb 4300 Feet ass Visit Old Abaadoaed Mines cm Mountain's Slae. BT W. T. HARDESTY. The Mazamas have planned a rather ambitious programme of local outings for the ensuing season, embracing sev eral week-end and two-day trips. One of the most notable outings will be that of next Saturday and Sunday, May II and 14. The objective of this trip is Silver Star Mountain or peak. This mountain is in Skamania County. Washington, a short distance from th Clarke County line. It bears north easterly from Vancouver and is about 12 miles due north from Cape Horn. Silver Star Mountain enjoyed a great mining boom years ago, and its sides are still scarred with prospect holes and shafts sunk by imaginative pros pectors. All of these were long since abandoned and the mountain has re verted to its primeval slate. Forest fires years ago burned off most of the fine bodies of standing timber. Hikers Clint C lonrfa. The elevation of this peak, about 4300 feet above sea level. and its Isolated position, afford a commanding view in all directions. From the sum mit a long stretch of the Columbia River is la sight, and the principal snowcapped peaks of the Cascades. In cluding Rainier, St. Helens. Adams, Hood and Jefferson, are all plainly in view. For the coming trip the Maxama plan to leave on a special train over the Northern Pacific, departing from the Union Depot at about 3 P. M- Sat urday. The hikers will send their dunnage (comprised of bedding or blankets, provisions, etc.) on the Sat urday morning train, so that the same can be hauled out from Moulton Sta tion, near the termius of the Tacolt branch, where the hike from the rail road out to camp begins. The climb of the mountain will be made Sunday morning and the return to the railroad Sunday afternoon. In 7. 1916. ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE A Fair Deal is Part of Every Pari of a Packard Truck The Packard Motor Car Company does business under a one-word policy. The word is fairness. - It covers the whole ground, from the smallest detail in a Packard truck to the sale and guarantee of that truck to the customer. It sets the price of the Packard truck a price based on honest cost of manufacture in a $25,000,000 plant where experience and resources permit economy not otherwise possible. The price is not only fair to maker and buyer it is maintained. Every buyer gets the same square deal. Nor does Packard fairness stop with the sale of a truck. Even in the minor matter of repair parts, the Packard user pays fairly and no more. And on top of this policy of fairness unchanged in ideals or practice throughout the 17 years in which Packard success has grown there always is the self-evident superiority of the Packard truck itself. Place a Packard truck beside any other truck and compare them. The difference is clear even to the uninitiated eye. The superiority of the Packard is unmistakable, and is just as great in the fast, little one-tonner as in the great 6 Hi -ton burden carrier. Telephone for a salesman, no matter what your line of business there is a true Packard for each traffic need. FRANK C.

The total distance covered on foot on Sun day will be 17 or 18 miles, including the ascent and descent of the mountain. It is expected that only the hardier ones among the men and women will attempt the trip. The country adjacent to this peak Is a fine hunting ground, and cougars are said to be abundant. On a scouting trip made by some Mazamas from Van couver in April they were treated to a serenade by one of these animals. A hucre fellow with a robust voice en tertained them with bloodcurdling screeches during a portion of the night, and his tracks were' found the next morning.
