THE newly erected Scout lodge at
Lake Wahtum was the rendezvous
of a party of 14 Boy Scouts and
Scout officials who hiked from Kagle
Creek station, along: the government
trail, to Lake Wahtum, December 26,
returning: to Portland three days later.
Members of the party were Scouts Mc-
Clure Adams and Earl Toomey of Troop
34; P. J. Toomey and Donald Adams,
of Troop 61; Floyd Robertson, of Troop
60; Thomas Donahue and Rodney Keat
ing of Troop 44: Philip Newell and
Neilson Page, of Troop 13; David Scott
and Harry Conway of Troop 21; Omar
C. Spencer and Homer D. Angell, of the
executive committee; Scout Master John
IX. Leach of Troop 21; Scout Allen Gar
rett of Troop 2 and George Comes. Six
boys under 13 years of age were in the
party.
Bach member was provided with a
camp kit and food for three days and
cooked his own rations over a camp
fire.
The party arrived at Eagle Creek sta-
tion at 9:10 A. M., and the hike up the
Government trail was begun at once.
A three miie pace was set and main
tained for nine miles, when a stop was
made for lunch at a point near Eagle
Creek. The lower end of the trail was
frozen, although no enow was en
countered until after leaving the creek.
At the tunnel under the East Fork of
Eagle Creek the fall had formed a
solid ice wall, almost pure white, down
the face of the overhanging cliff. The
tunnel was lined with ice and over the
trail long white icycles glistened in
the sun.
As the trail mounted the enow be
came deeper until the depth of a -foot
was reached before the hikers came
upon the lodge.
The last of the journey was through a
heavy fir forest mantled with snow and
frost.. When the crest of the pass was
reached the lake was visible and the
big log lodge, erected this Fall, loomed
up in the snow-covered clearing. Fires
were built in in the great fireplaces and
the hikers spent the evening resting
I from their Journey.
After breakfast the next morning a
circuit of the lake was made. It was
found that the east end of the lake
was frozen over and afforded excellent
skating. After the lake and surround
ings were fully explored and many pic
tures taken, parties were formed for
side trips. Scout Donahue set out for
Indian Mountain, which was reached
after three hours' walk through the
fresh snow, which at many places was
three feet In depth: Many of the
scouts proceeded to the upper end of
the lake and enjoyed several hours of
skating. Scouts Keating, Page and New
ell, and Scout Masters, Leach, Spencer,
and Angell climbed to the top of Chiil
dere. The snow was found to be well
packed on the summit and its smooth
stretches over the descending slopes
were enjoyed by the hikers who coasted
down.
The return trip was made without
mishap. As the lower altitudes were
reached the snow turned to rain and
all were drenched when Bonneville was
reached.

JOSEF 1IOF.MAN.V.
Josef Hofmann, the famous pianist, is coming to Portland for one
recital, February 5, under the direction of Steers & Coman.
Hofmann is a tone painter. Had he been a painter, he would have
portrayed the human soul In terms of color. His delicacy has a quality
lacelike and elusive, and It makes of his music a thing akin to angel
notes. It must not be thought from this that his strength Is lacking,
for Hofmann's is an omniscient genius, which holds within its scope
all of humanity's joys and sorrows, Its peace and its passion.
