By Mar?all N. Dana.
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necks repealed jby unbuttoned shirts,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'
