"Mr. Steel has plans for a tunnel, as the precipitous sides, the heavy snowfall and the character of the rock make an elevator a difficult and un-safe-problem. The tunnel will be less than half a mile in length. I heartily indorse his plan and when the time comes, will gladly go before the con gressional committees and tell them of Crater lake'3 needs. Having been there, I can talk intelligently, and you can depend upon me to use whatever influence I have to help Crater lake, its tunnels, its roads and improve ments. "The government and state should aid in building roads to make the park accessible to the general public, for I believe in the near future tens of thousands of people will annually visit the lake."

THE PLAN FOR ROAD FROM COLUMBIA MR TO YAKiA CONSIDERED Highway Would Be One of Great Scenic Interest and Commercially Valuable, WOULD SAVE 75 MILES Surrey Would Bo Along Bout of Old Indian Trail to Huckle berry Patch. Husum, Wash.; Aug. 7. A move Is on foot, backed by the commercial clubs of Husum and White Salmon,. to establish a wagon, and auto road from the " Columbia river in southwestern Klickitat county to the Yakima valley, a road distance of about 100 miles. With the advent of the new- state and county highway, being constructed along the north side of the Columbia river through .Skamania county, and the completion of a thoroughfare from Underwood and White Salmon in a di rect northeasterly line to Toppenlsh or North Yakima, a distance of 76 miles can be saved by those traveling via auto and wagon route from Portland and the White Salmon valley. Bridge Is Necessary. At present there is a road from White Salmon and Underwood to Glen wood, 30 miles northeast. This road passes through Husum, and is consid ered a good auto thoroughfare. The proposed extension of the new road is to continue northeast from- Glenwood to Fort Simcoe in Yakima county, a distance of about 40 miles. A bridge will have to be constructed across the Klickitat river, eight miles northeast of Glenwood, and the course of the new road would be along the old survey of the North Coast Railway company, or the old Indian trail to the Yakima country. There is already a good road from Fort Simcoe to Toppenlsh and North Yakima. . Indians Take Autos. Years ago the Yakima Indians packed over the trail from Fort Simcoe to the huckleberry fields southwest of Trout lake, but with advancement in civilization they how travel in hacks in a roundabout way through eastern Klickitat county. One of two Indian families are now known to go to the huckleberry fields in automobiles . ; The completion of the proposed unit from Glenwood to Fort Simcoe would inaugurate one of the best scenic routes in the Pacific northwest. Mount Adams being in view and at no great distance from the entire stretch of the road. Not only for its scenic beauty would the proposed road be appreciated, but a commercial value would be gained by a saving of nearly 75 miles for those traveling overland from Portland Or the White Salmon country.

Riggs Cornell and Twenty-third Street at Washington Is "Happiest Man on Earth " ' K at v at Impressions of Carl Guibtt Pendleton, Or., Aug 7. "The hap piest man on earth" is the characteri zation given to himself by Carl Gulott of this city, who last Monday miracu lously regained his sight after a blind ness of 15 years. "The happiest man on earth is the way his friends char acterize him. too, after they have talked to him and have watched his face grow radiant with the Joy of be ing a normal man. . The world is a new world to him and he finds pleasures everywhere he goes. He passes nothing by without nqtlng it with interest and pleasure,' The sim plest and most commonplace of things, "even the wagon tracks in the road" as he says, command his attention and have their beauty for him. So much is there for him to see that he has can celled all of his 'engagements as a musio teacher until .he has feasted him self to capacity." Relates Sis Impressions. Asked to tell of some of his impres sions since the 'return of his vision, Mr. Guiott made the following state ment: "My first feeling, after I had posi tively assured myself that my sight had returned, was one of alarm. I did not know what to do, whether to open my eye and see all that I could, or to keep it closed lest the bright sunlight should rob me of that which had been restored to me. For 15 minutes I stood on the street corner In doubt, opening my eye every little bit' but closing It again hurriedly. Gradually I gainer, courage and started for the office of my doctor, keeping my eye half-closed as 1 walked down the' street. "The physician, after an examina tion, stated that my best hope lay In constantly exercising the nerves of my eye but he warned me not to be too hopeful lest I wake in the morning to find my eye In its former condition. I replied that. I had no such fear, that I intended to keep the sight I bad and to get more. - - "From that time ' 1 have used my vision to Its full power, and gradually I have acquired better control of It and gradually objects have become more clear. Since then I have enjoyed the world as few men have, as no man could have who has not passed through the same conditions. I have been aris ing at 6:30 o'clock every morning, de spite the fact that I have been chat--ting with friends long past midnight every night, and have been walking over the hills to enjoy the beauties of nature, to learn the" colors which I had forgotten during my blindness and to revel in the sight of the most com monplace things. Groves of trees In the distance, the green of the lawns, my flower garden, yes even my chick ens and cows, I can watch without ever tiring and the features of human be ings, those of my family and friends in particular, are a source of never-fail- Allen C.
