Do slring to leave something for all the peRSaas well as for those of his re ligious faith, he decided to make free tender) of the tract. - It is not to be known as "Gorman park" or anything like that It Is specified that the park must be named for Dr. John McLoughlin, known to the early settlers of the Hudson Bay com pany days as "Father McLouEhiln." rlOXEER.IS PRAISED "I am a great : admirer of Father McLaughlin and the work he did for civilisation, derraan said in discussing his gift. "To him belongs credit for making the. great Oregon country s home for the white people as well as 'for the Jndians. His name Is already revered ; it should be preserved tn monument . f orm. : The park I propose to make his -monument." The park is some 1200 feet off the Columbia River highway. He and Dis trict Attorney Evans are in consultation as to a form of deed whereby the tract can be conveyed to the county. He has also proffered , a right of way for all ;. time for a road which he has asked the county to survey for an ultimate highroad of aceess. ! SCENIC STREAM The : park is traversed by a roaring, scenic stream known as Tumult creek, formerly . Devil's creek. This flows down the steeps through a broad canyon in which the park nestles. . Great trees of all varieties indigenous here are to be found -dogwoods, firs, cedars, oak, ' yew and many others, Gorman said the tract can be easily improved to be made one of the most scenic along the highway. . - As soon as the preliminaries are out of the. way. Gorman will make the of : ficial tender, relinquishing' his claim and making it the property of the public. Kalama Candidates . Must File as the Farmer-Labor Party Kalama, Wash., Aug. 7.
