All the beauties of a summer time wonderland are enhanced along the' Co lumbia river , highway by tho mantle of snow and , Ice that enshroud the sometimes dashing falls and lulls their musto In an Icy grasp. Tet to vision these rare sights is a nazaraous ana an uncompromising tasx, according io the sUtemenU of w. e. E&iougn ana Clyde Cushman, 125- Sixth street, who mads the trip to the second falls on Multnomah creek last Sunday. Balousrh and Cushman rode to Mult nomah falls, where they attached their snowshoes and started on the up graae, which, they say. was one of the most novel of their many trips as members of the Maxamas. In fact .the boys were out as Maxamas to determine the pos sibility of breaking through the enow drifts to the summit of Larch moun tain, v Inasmuch as they did not make the ascent they may vf again. A 1 Disappointed, at the sight at the lower falls the- boys, bravely mushed on. up the trail about two miles to the second falls, where they got the : re ward in beauty that they sought. The trail throughout was Dacked with deep enow, they say, knd even with snow shoes the going was difficult. The two mile trip required almost an hour and a half of strenuous climbing, with their snowshoes sinking In six inches at every step.-- '''-"'J ' f v;-' ' 't''-'r, At the first falls the wind had swept the trees and shrubs clean of snow,, but at the upper falls the same was not true. They found snow and Ice every where and . on everything. The; sight was one of rare beauty, they-say -Cumbersome snowshoes helped put a thrill into the climb for the young men. Several times they - enjoyed unexpected tumbles into tho deep enow and missed drenching- themselves in the icy waters of the creek by narrow margins.
