Iewonder how many people living
in'Pfrrtland know where Blddle'a Butte'
1 located end what may be seen from
tta crest T It base Is Cape Horn on
the jtfofambla. a few miles east of
:' WasiiOug&l, on the Washington aide.
" In point of time it ia only a brisk, two
;,hours' drive from Portland and It af-
xorus in granaeat view ox me river
' and mountain that I have ever Been.
Uit'wfrk, W. U Hay of the H. U
Keats Auto company, drove a Chalm
ers lg-30 containing a party of five
I la all, to Ua very cret. We left Port
land late in. the morning, ta.icl.ng the
.'usual route over the Mteei bridge, turn
ing north- on Williams avenue ; and
again on Portland boulevard, thence on
.'Vancouver avenue arriving at the Van-
; couver, ferry in good time. Leaving
Vancouver we paused In succession
Kllsworlh. Fisher and Camas, reaciting
Washougal a little after 11 o'clock.
Where we stopped for luncheon.
' From here we proceeded by way of
the Forest hill road, a-nd, so far as
scenery is concerned, we were amply
' prepaid, but the soft dirt road wan ex
' tremely muddy and slippery. As we
went up the hill, more and more of the
Columbia disclosed Itself, a wonderful
' panorama.
Soaa Built by Henry Biddle.
'' Arriving at the shoulder of Ihe hill,
known as Kiddie's Butte, we turned
square to the right through a gate and
followed a windtng road to its hummlt.
Thia road, built by Henry J. Biddle in
1911, In laid out on and easy grade,
and Juat now it ia carpeted with lux
uriant, clone growing clover. In fol
lowing the road that winds around the
h-111, sometimes tfic Columbia was in
flight' and sometimes the green hills of
Washington. Not until we reached
' the summit, however, did the full mag
nificence of the view dawn upon us.
Oazlng across the river, we looked
down on Crown Point, In full view.
For miles we saw the Columbia hlgh-
. way leading up the river, like a sil
ver ribbon, marked here and there by
the waterfalls that come tumbling
over the cliffs.
To the north lies a high plateau
knowri aa Hear valley. Looking east,
the towering hills and cliffs of the
Mister states seem to Join, but as the
, eye follows, they break their embrace
to let the lordly Columbia flow by.
We lingered over an ?hour at the
wonderful spot; so long In fact, that
a storm overtook us.
Storm Make Boad Muddy.
We headed the Chalmers up the
river again, but the three days' rain
; and the hall storm which preceeded us
': had made much of the road almost lm
- . passable. However, the going was
, somewhat better after we got clear of
the long slope to tho east and again
joined the county road.
Passing Skamania, we came to Cas
tle Rock, now called Beacon Rock,
where our dial showe.l 48.5 miles from
Portland. Here we met Henry J. Bid
die, owner of the rock and of some con
siderable land surrounding it. Mr.
Biddle, with his assistant, C. Johnson,
Is building a path around the almost
perpendicular Bides of the rock, which
' rears itself 600 feet above the river. A
number of sections of the path have
' been completed, but the work will not
; be entirely finished until sometime in
the fall. The work Is done mainly by
blasting sections from the face of the
rock and then leveling off a narrow
trail. Mr. Biddle Is also building a
acenlc driveway which runs for a dis-
tance-on the north of the county road.
. Mr. Biddle haa the stars and stripes
proudly floating from the topmost pin-
- nacle of the rock. This was accom
plished only by dint of hard climbing
and personal risk on the part of Mr.
Biddle and his assistant, there being
sections where iron spikes had to be
- driven Into the walls of the rocks, and
.' ropes used in climbing upward.
. , Again wa turned the machine up the
? river along the road that the rain iad
Kft muddy and slippery in Its wake.

SUGGESTIONS FOR

One of the very vexing problems to
be decided before starting on a catnp

the commissary department. Too often
have you returned . with so many
things that you did not need. .

The motor car and the great out of
doors.
The one Is Incomplete without the
other. The enjoyment of one implies
the enjoyment of the other. Today, no
fishing trip, no hunting trip, no camp
ing party, no trip to the mountains, no
trip to the beaches Is enjoyed to the
limit of Its possibilities without the
modern space annhilator, the motor
car, the economical and most enjoy
able way to spend the vacation.
Much has transpired to bring the
mountain and stream within easy
reach of Everyman and hia pocket-
book.
The biggest factor probably is the
price of the modern motor car. Camp
ing or hunting used to mean quite an
expenditure. First came the clothes
and equipment. To be transported by
rail and boat and pack required travel
ing equipment, all of which cost
money.
The next was the actual cost of
transportation. Suppose the point was
300 miles away. That's nine dollars
one way for father. Twice as much
for the round trip. Well, mother's
going, too. So are the three or four
youngsters. Six times IIS. That's
about $110 for fare alone. Next will
be the packhorse from the destination
to the camp.
Vacation can cost anywhere from
$250 to $600 for the family. That's
quite a little sum. With many families
an outing of that nature would be pos
blble only every- few years. Two or
three times in a year would be out of
the question., Absurd. In 'fact.
Double the Vacation sum and you
have the price of many cars that will
make a vacation mean more than it
ever meant. Bundle a few things un
der the seajs, or in special boxes and
holders which ' accessory houses will
furnish, and you are prepared to go
ten miles or across the continent. No
distance Is too far. You stop and start
where you will. If the place you
picked from the' map does not suit
when you get there, you don't let a
trifle like that spoil your only vaca
tion of the year. You move on.
Many a man labors under the Im
pression that it Is too expensive to
take a car on the road. Even the most
expensive car,, with four people in It,
will better the railroad fare, from a
distance of five mile's to 5000. It is

a simple problem of mathematics and
the roads today, for the most part, are
such that the wear and tear on the
car is negligible.
Before tho motor car served its
owner so well, how different was the
preparation for a jaunt to the fishing
streams or the woods where big game
stalked. To be sure that the train con
nections were not missed, half a day
of business went by the boards. Then
came, the long ride on the train, a
tramp of many miles later and the
equally tedious return when next the
train came that way.
Today, pack a few things in the
morning before the departure to the
office or shop and that night when
work is done, take your own time and
start for the trees and streams. You
arrive too late to make a camp. Just
draw the side curtains and roll up In
the car until morning.
The Journey back is also according
to the schedule of your own making.
The motor car also means that you
no longer have to go out like the
primitive man and roll up In the grass j
but can take with you many little com-'
forts which 'will make the outing one
of real recreation, imstead of one of
hard work and discomfort. ,
Metz Line of Cars
Is Represented Here
X. H. SotohUa, Formerly Of Seattle,
Will Handle (leafless Transmission
Machin ia Oregon.
The Metz line or light cars, known
for their gearless transmission, are
again represented in Oregon, this
time by a factory agent. D. H.
Hotchkin, who has been with the firm
for some time in Seattle, is now in
Portland, from which city he will
handle the state of Oregon.
The Metz was handled here some
years ago but when a retrenchment
policy emanated from the factory,
the business was handled from Seat
tle. Since then, the demand for the
car, in Oregon and the northwest gen
erally, has justified the establishment
of a representative here.
The Metz today Is one of the cars
which is made almost entirely by the
company which has the name. Ev
erything but the Gray & Davis elec
trical equipment is made in the Metz
factories at Waltham, Mass.
