Trail bireaking Is very formidable and Important. 1 It is aj short cut to fame and de mands courage pf a high order. Every time the plonefcrs had an am bition tojjmonopjolize ai complimentary narn cranlk on a prominent page of his- torv thev went i . out and broke trail somewhetfe. There lis venf little trail breaking left to dot nowadays, ahd It is done for a different purpose. Perhap:s I shcjuld say two different purposes! One jofthej purposes is to clamber arduously oiver rocks and stumps and quadruped It up talus slides to reducel surplus weight The other is to create sigfzag approaches to i dizzy aeries i where the landscape may be viewed! In its entirety, and which, when advertised by competent experts, tempt j tourists and their money, jj . ' As is well known, the pioneers had neither or tfcese motives, since mej carried no meat that wasn't muscle, and the race of tourists had not been created by get-Hch-qvick fortunes. But, frankly, the Larch Mountain Trail committee of the Progressive Business Men's club j that broke Out the tourjst tra$ from Palmer above Bridal VLeil doVn Multnomah Creek canyon, last Sunday, had both pur poses in mind. They had no lack of courage after tie recent benefit per formance! ' given to eirn construction cash. Before leaving j home, last Sat urday evening, each had Invoked the kindly, goddess of Safety First to hover near. Each, bending under big backloads of articles! that tradition and the pportlnls magazines prescribe as essential to wilderness life, flung a deft at discoihfort. It is true that the appearance of the equipment was pot uniform, that city bred raincoats Were more prominent than logger's . shirts, that shoes with out spikes werji as frequently dis covered as the pegged, that white and blue neckties wjere fully as much in evidence j as bi-awnyj and untanned necks repealed jby unbuttoned shirts, that, some of the blanket rolls were fully as large as the men who carried them, and that the alpenstocks, which were numerously In; evidence, sug gested the Alpsi or the Andes In' a most pleasant way. j' On the O-W.
