The Fashion of Summer licsorHnar. Oregon City Enterprise: The fashion of seeking seaside and oilier summer resorts seems to ho as malignant as any other faahlon. To tieople who live in Inland cities exposed to the blistering heat of the summer sun there is a uimhI excuse to go to the seaside. Itut fewer of those coplu go down by the deep, sad sea in ting days than of those who enjoy draughts from the ocean all the livelong year. Then the mountain climUrs and nomadic cumHT form another variety of the summer n sorting fiushion. In the blissful consciousness that they are getting outside the beaten paths they make their dlversement stylish and then they can enjoy It, Those who stay at home and lire con tented are prolwbly better oil" than those who wander from mountain eak to ocean strand.

Willamette valley people have small excuse to go to the ocean to get a more comfortable temperature. There Is bet ter reason for climbing the mountains for recreation and exercise. The most sensible reason for leaving home Is to get rest from business and a change of life. It Is, however, soul-satisfying to be in me swim. Wants :iu,000.
