What One Man Has Done in

JUtYHILL Is on the north bank

owner of Maryhlll, has bought

doing valuable work In demonstrating

On Uie "jap Heiuro i CVOI oan iv, .
Mr. Hill.
r wanted to find a point midway
, between 'the rains of the coast and the
almost constant sunshine of eastern
Oregon, a point where the rain and the
sunshine meet, in aaamon 10 mis i
wanted to . find a point on the river
where the air drainage was perfect and
where I could have a view of the scenic
" beauty of the Columbia river.
i "Step out here in front of the office,
' never mind your hat, I , want you to
be bareheaded so you' will notice some-
thing unusual." .
, - We stepped out into the brilliant sun
' shine and to my surprise 1 felt a fine
mist strike my face.
' i "Look to" the eastward;" said Mr.
H1U. "Did you ever see a more beau
tiful rainbow. Now turn to the west
ward and aee Mount Hood and the Co
lumbia" The seven hued arch with
its brilliant colors' resting on the hills;
Mount Hood - shimmering like new
' coined silver in the early morning sun
shine, the Columbia at our feet sweep
ing la graceful curves to the sea, made
"a vision of beauty .worth coming far
' to see.
' "When I was a boy I used to notice
that when the kitchen door was opened
on a cool day the steam would rush out
of the kitchen Into the colder air. You
, can see here the steam or moisture
rushes up the 'Columbia In the same
way. '. , Tha ' warm moisture-laden air
k sweeps up the river and strikes Mary-
bill, Jiie wind, chlnook-like In Its mild

After-breakfast we drove all ever the

ervoir intending to operate an electric
rarline'from 'Maryhlll .to Goldendale,"
said - Mrr Hilt found by building
' hard surfaced roads motor trucks could
, be operated more cheaply than electric
cars.. The time la coming when railroad
men will do everything in their power
to encourage the building of permanent
and durable roads to1 serve as feeders
to the, main 'artery,- the transcontinental
road. Many of them do not yet aee
what It' means In Increased trafle to
' them to have ' well built highways.
Whether they like it or not the logic
of the situation demands that we have
s good roads leading to nature's great
highway, ' the Columbia .river, which
will always serve as an equaliser and
rate adjuster. To get the people on the
land you ; must be able to get their
. products to the consumer and the rail
roads, the river and the motor truck
all have their places In the scheme ot
distribution."
Past well kept young orchards we
drove to Maryland, the home place.
- Here a quiet but wonderfully efficient
1 Scotch gardener- la raising more than
than the colloquial 67 varieties. We went
out With him through bis gardens and
fields and saw what skill added to
good soil, and water can do. Peanuts,
sweet potatoes, egg plants, melons of
all kinds, roses, fruits and so on through
the long list
"The day will come," continued Mr.
Hill, "when the shores of the Colum-
bla will be on a par with the banks of
the Rhine or Rhone for productive
ness, and when the Columbia will be
like the Polisades of the Hudson or the
shores of the 8t' Lawrence, crowned
4 with the homes of those who value and
, appreciate nature's beauty. No stream
. has more of nature's majesty and gran-
. deur than the Columbia.
... "Added to Its scenio beauty, the mild
ness of climate and the fortuity of soil
along the Columbia make this an Ideal
' district
When we returned, William, Mr. Hill's
i colored chauffeur, was ready with thrf
automobile for our road seeingeirlp.
. Noon found us at Goldendale. I hunted
up some acquaintances while- we were
there.
i Catching the Spirit.
! "What has ,happened to Goldendale?"
:'. I asked. "From being a rather sleepy
.' Place it seems to be the liveliest little
town in WaBhington-paved streets, new
brick blocks, bubbling drinking foun
, tains, prosperity everywhere apparent

"Not .only . Goldendale, but che whole

A knocker is afraid to lift his voice
any more. They have suddenly become
very unpopular. When a man pulls out
of the ruts and mud onto the Maryhlll
roads and sees what can be done and
how easily his team pulls the load he
begins to wonder why he muslcontinue
to use the old type of summerTallowed
roads, a cloud of dust in summer and a
sea of mud in winter. Goldendale was
never more prosperous and we are all
nroud of our town, and don't have to be
apologetic as lots of other towns are.
When the crest of the hill has been
passed in Coming up from the river one
sees a vast and productive territory 01
which Goldendale Is the center. Or

"This district can . be Portland s 11
Portland wants it" said Mr. Hill. "You
spend all kinds of money on high priced
men to get new settlers out nere ana
then make no effort to annex trade ter
ritory that rightfully belongs to you.
For example, Goldendale is 10 miles
from the Columbia by good road; five
or six times that far from the railroad
at Lyle. Bay, however, it Is 125 miles
from Portland. It Is over 2S0 miles
from Spokane. S00 miles from Seattle,
over 250 Allies from Tacomk; so you
see this rich territory logically belongs
to Portland.
"If a ferry were put in at Columbus
or Maryhlll, to use its more recent
name, to a point directly across the
river and if the station of Biggs were
moved about an eighth of a mile above
its present site to the ferry landing,
Portland and Oregon would secure
largely increased passenger and freight
traffic. Apparently your chamber or
commerce are unaware of the condi
tion or they would go after this trade."
From Goldendale we went to Bunnyside,

WOMAN POISONED BY
CHLOROFORM IS BURIED
Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Hoi
den, who died Friday from- an overdose
of chloroform, were held yesterday In
Dunning & McEntee's chapel. Inter
ment was in the Mount Scott cemetery.
Mrs. Holden, who was the wife of C
F. Holden of the Silver Falls Timber
company of Mllwaukie, had long made
it a practice to relieve toothache with
chloroform. It Is thought that the first
application Friday' so dulled her senses
that she spilled the contents of the bot
tle over her face, the excess amount of
the anesthetic causing her death.
DEFENDS PLANS FOR
BRIDGE APPROACHES
That objections raised by some resi
dents of Multnomah county against the
building of permanent approaches to the
proposed interstate bridge from an eco
nomic standpoint do not stand analysis,
is the contention of- D. H. Lofgren, a
member of the last .legislature which
passed the law authorising the county
to bond Itself for the construction of
Oregon's half of the span.
"I have secured comprehensive fig
ures showing the cost of the trestle ap
proaches now maintained," he says, "arid
I believe these figures will refute the
statement that a 1500,000 permanent
roadway leading to the bridge is not a
good investment.
"The present trestle is 12,320 feet
long and the original cost was about
flO per lineal foot making the total.
$13,200. Adding to this the cost of
building the truss spans across Colum
bia slough, which was 928,(00, we have
$160,000 as the approximate total cost
"Interest on this sum at per cent a
year makes $9000. The life of the trestle
work is eight years, making an annual
depreciation of $11,777 in addition to the
cost of redecklng twloe during this pe
riod at an annual cost of $4150. This
brings the total annual cost up to $33,
027. "The present trestle is 20 feet wide,
but trafflo now would require a 10-foot
trestle. To make up the difference in
cost add 60 per cent to the foregoing
figures and you have an annual cost of
$50,891."
