' EITHER WOODEN BRIDGES OR ME xjlmt warn Bsnszim un fiatx 'x-tsxxb stastd oh nm nrurrur ovxajm pbobxjik- say cost or STxzz, wou Bzcrsszra. "What the Mat Hid want la. a bridge tight away: wa hava waited a year with out transportation on either. .Union or Grand avenue, and soma epeedy relief ta what wa want. - Such waa the statement of former ; Mayor -H. 8. Rowe. when aeked eon i , cernlng the atand of the eaat aide resl- , dent on the Sullivan milch bridges. . Continuing.' Mr. Rowe aald t "We defeated the ateel bridge project after a bard struggle with th city off! 'rial and w hope that thia" plan baa been riven up. The cost of steel bridge. ) the two being estimated at almost ' 1100.000. waa plainly . excessive when ; wooden bridges that would carry th ' traffic for' ten or fifteen- years could be bunt for $10,000. Wa ftled on re ; 1 monstrance with the mra'i of 75 per ' 'cent of the' Interested property holders 'third of the namea were -torn off the, petition.

"Had proper attention been given that Grand avenue bridge It would have been . pearing lull lueus iuui,. dhi i v wa - carelessly allowed to detorlate until It ' fell from, decay, yet there waa not a bit of danger had the structure been kept a It should hava been. A fill on- the gulch Is out of the question, because of the railroad tracks there. A ateel bridge .' means confiscation for many of the lots and besides means a year's mora delay, neither of which wa desire. Our poal- - tlon la very simple and In brief la: "A wooden bride -will anawer all pur ; poaea for fifteen yeara.. It can be built ' easily and quickly: It will "I safe as a ateel bridge If taken cant 'Pf properly and It will cost a fifth aa nfuch: there ' for, give us the wooden trldge." Steal Brldg Boeaaary. Th attitude of th city engineer and ''many of the councllmen has-been that ', a steel bridge across the gulch would be a necessity some day. and ihst build- Ing the wooden etructure'was only post , ponlng the time when a good bridge must be erected. The city engineer has ' from the nr"t atood opposed to the erec- tlon of any wooden brldgea In the city, and fill and ateel hava been always ad- vised. i . The councllmen to a large extent have . backed up Mr. Elliott In hi atand, but recently when the eaat aid property holder presented ' such a generally signed petition against ateel bridges . , across Sullivan's gulch. Mayor Williams - changed his former position and intro . duced a resolution tn th council favor ing wooden brldgea there. Thla waa re ; ferred to the street committee, after a warm discussion, and the gulch brldgea are still open question. - . ' Ttnioiea uannor oross. At th present time, aa has been tha ' case for more than a year, there la no means of communication across the 1 gulch -between the river, and Twelfth the gulch bridge, but th company haa , practically built a separate trestle for " Its use and no other vehicle can croaa.

"Pompeii: good drainage: fresh air sightly location, onr Mt.

In recent years. . number of Portland people who fell un der the charm of Mount Hood's scenery and climate,, built summer cottages at Government Camp, and Yokum aaya that If It la a summer resort they want oh the' mountain they will find him as good a town sit boomer aa any. within 40 mile of Portland. A party, composed of U J. Hicks, his son. .Claude Hicks, It yeara ef age: a brother, W. A. Hleka;' Fred Crow ami Roy Gear, all of Portrand. and John Culverwell of Buffalo, N. V.. have Just returned from a tour of exploration to the summit .-of Mount Hood. It wa L. J. Hicks' sixth trip up tha mountain. and ha noted some conditions that on thla trip differed from any he had pre viously seen. Usually, the heavy anow encountered 'at the timber Una, out this year, the party walked a mil fur ther up without getting on tne anow. an Indication that the remarkably not weather In Portland haa also made lta effects felt on the upper fastneaeea -of Mount Hood. By Car a&d Wheel. The psTty "bonrded a car on th O. W. P. railway and went to Boring, which the neareat railway station to Mount Hnno From Ilia point it Is. estimated to be about 42 miles to the mountain They rod bicycles to Sandy station; nlnepmlles. -Next defy they wheeled 12 miles to Government Camp, which 1 in th' foothllla of Mount Hood. L. J. Hicks, who waa th leader of the party, made a number of Interesting photo graphs. Including Tokum lake and Camp creek falla. In this vicinity. From Government Camp up to th timber line it la four miles, and th . party walked up -to th Yocum camp, at th timber line in order to be ready for an early start next morning. They alept well under blankets, ana at a a. m. they were up for breakfa'at. At - 4 o'clock they started on the climb, and they were on th summit at 1:40, having made tha ateep ascent in four and a half hours. It was on of the qulckeat aacenta on record. ':-:.. ' Mount Xood Bot Dead. - . "The once general Idea that Mount Hood ta a 'dead mountain' Is now pretty well exploded." aald Mr. Hicks. "Every time I have been there steam and amok have been laaulng from tha ratar, sometimes mora than at other. At crater rock there may be found places hot enough to boll an egg very nicely. Tokum saya at tlmea there is so much steam and amok coming out that it en tirely obscures crater rock. W went down Into tha crater about 60 feet. eliding down over to dirt and rocks. This la th first time 1 have been able to get tn. The heat has melted the snow Inside, and It freesea at night and hange over th dge.s In shady places. In th crater ther Is plenty of It. Tokum has twice beea able to go further In. and reach a cava, which Is at the present time blocked with Ice and anow. In 18s he found tnis cave, but It did not open again until 189. when he gained entrance to It He waa accompanied by a party of climbers, who remained outside, while ha went In. He penetrated It for 60 feet, and found a lake. It waa quit dark, but by throw ing rocks Into tha water he found tha lake to be of considerable extent. Then ha began feeling faint, and mad an effort to get out, but- fell unconscious ten feet Inside the entrance. . He was pulled out by th tourists, who had heard him call for help. H aays ther was no odor, but tha air Inside simply took th power out of- him, ' and he thought he waa going to die. He says that wheelbarrow loada of pure aulphur can be shoveled up Inside th csve. "In th Crater, where we were on this trip tha smell Is sickening. The rocks are covered with dirty sulphur, snd ther Is a good deal of alum, some chunks of It quite pure and clean. At one place th ateam and fumes come up from a hoi that is evidently the "bottomless pit.' In fact,' the crater struck ma aa a veritable hell at least. it waa like some of tha plcturea I hare aeen tn mythological works, excepting ths snow here and ther. 'a Bugs Creraase., . ""From th crater to the- aummtt ther extends an Immense ridge of snow, hlch at a point about half-way Is cut In two by a crevasse. Thta crevasse Is always there in summer time, but varies In width. This summer It is sbout 10 feat wide on the ridge, the widest I hava aver seen It. It la caused by ths aagging of melting snows at th cra ter, or perhaps It Is from tha heat that comes from a crack In the mountain be low it. There Is no bottom seen in tha crevasse. W went out of 'our course about 00 feet to reach a place where we could atep across. From ths crev asse to the summit It Is nearly straight climb of a thousand feet, ao steep that ateps must be cut In th snow as you go up. We found aome steps left by a party that had gone up ."The Stora for Thrifty People THE SECOND WEEK OF.
