Cloud Capp Inn High Up on
Mount Hood, Has Possibili
ties as Tourist Retreat.
By Marshall B. Dase
. The forest service has demanded
the increase of accommodations at
Cloud Cap inn on the "north slope of
Mount Hood, first, as the condition of
building an Vasy grade branch from
the Mount Hood loop road to the inn.
. Elliott glacier and Cooper's spur, and
second, as the price of r-newing rthe
MOU m HOUS
r lease held by the Jdount Hood Trail &
Wagon PU4. company. .The ultimatum.
; name December 1 as the last date on
; which' to' meet the requirement of the
, forest service.
. ,A week ago the writer drove to Cloud
; Cap in order to test by first hand ei
'. periesce the report that the present
: mountain road is almost Impassably
, and the criticism that the present facil
ities at the Inn fall biow the neces
sities of comfort.
The? extreme desirability of balanc
ing our invitation to tourists with the
mearia; of suitable entertainment when
they arrive furnished the motive for
th trip.
We;, left Portland a little after 5
o'clock on Saturday evening, and-driving
along the Columbia highway were
agair impressed with its miraculous
quality of presenting its thrillingly
beautiful views always as if new re
gardless of the number of times the
same eye may have been delighted by
; them 'bef ore.
Mount Hood lodge was reached short-
'ly .after 10 o'clock. Throughout we
;did not drive faster" than 25 miles an
hoJSr and with an interval for picnic
' supper in Benson park at Wah-kee-nah
: falls." "; The road through Hood river
valley was fair except where It fol
lows the new and unfinished grade, of
the loop route. The night was spent
at. the lodge in order that the drive
tofthe inn might be made with full
: opportunity for observation by day
light We were comfortably sheltered
outside the main building in a tent
hotrse, a fantastically curved little
little stream babbling outside
t!uj door and Mount Hood's formidable,
- shadowy bulk lit by tfte stars in the
background.
;TO CjLOUB CAP IS
This distance from the lodiie to Cloud
Cap nn la six miles. The climb is
fromjan elevation of 500 feet to 6250
feet, jf The drive required 40 minutes.
There1 were some bumps. There was
some-tdust. One used either interme
diate or low gear. But compared to a
road on the middle fork o the South
Fsnfiam where three weeks agol made
iess than seven miles in; two hours and
.five minutes driving as fast as 1 could.
Jhe ascent to the inn was strangely
devoid of excitement or unrertanty.
One has the satisfaction of realizing
that he has attained one of the highest
oiiits in Oregon which may be reached
by an autcmobile. and that he Is con
siderably higher tha.n Paradise inn in
Rainier National park.
A .otORiors view :
All the value of the climb is in the
Viftwi. Cloud Cap Inn Us a, watch, tower
of' beauty. With the. naked eye we
eoold; see a party of fife people pass
ing; splderwlse over snow and ice to
disappear among the almost perpen
dicular rocks that must be surmounted
before gaining the summit of Hood,
The glacial system of ; the mountain
was spread before' our- eyes. A few
mftiutes' walk brought us to th snout
of 1 KHiott glacfer, where a , piece of
talus covered ice was broken orl which
might' have spent a thousand years or
more reaching the point where a roar
ing str.-am plunged downward. To the
rnortliwestwflrd and far below. Lost
lake glimmered, the apparent Jewel
of a green meadow, but the green was
jor towering forests oi nr. in me
eajt, in magical tones 'of brown and
gold, -were tlie boundless grain fields
of Eastern Oregon.
Toward the evening hour some frag
ments of cloud fluttered out of the
west Upon them the Sun poured its
refracted light and oyer on the nor
thern horizon Adams, Kalnier and St.
Helens lost their connection with earth
and became crystal ships in a sea of
iroSe petals. Always recurrent in mem-
pry and in d reams must, oe in spec
iaeular beauty of this outlook.
A LOG STBX'CTTJBB
Cloud Cap inn is a log building rith
high pitched roof, cable-braced against
the .weight of winters snows. The toll
road which reaches It and the building
itself. e evidence of almost the
earliest efforts to please the . tourist.
The road was first. made years ago,
and the. building 33 years ago. The
latter is still well preserved, pictur
esqely consistent with tts rugged en-
vironment. The several cabins around
the main building furnish supplemen
tary sleeping quarters and seemed to
be tight against the weather.
Cloud Cap inn is within the Oregon
national forest and is maintained by
permit Issued from year to year by the
forest service. After noting the com
plaint that the present buildings are
inadequate. 1 was surprised to find
that the capacity is i approxtmately

DlFICrtTIEft OALOKE
More than two-years ago-the pioneer
ritlsens that had built aind maintained
. Cloud Cap inn at rrooootooously re
peated loss were about to abandon the
place for lack of patronage. Then
Homer Roger, who. for some years,
had been operating Mount Hood lodge.
. took over the place. The Mount Hood,
loop road, which ty the way. he rigin
slly suggested was at that time proj
ected, and it was easy ttQ believe that
with the -loop route completed, P
tro nacre would support tJie two places
jointly administered. In bttildingthe
loop road thero have been the inevit
able delays and patronage 'has not
produced profits. Yet one wonders
what capitalist will take up the ven
ture if the lessee be ousted.
, vfneh the loop road is finished and
the branch road on easy grade is built,
th spectacular qualities of the Cloud
Cap Jan location should make it a val
uable tourist property.! But should
that value inhere solely to those mho
come in at the eleventh hour or those
who have toilsomely held on through
the lean years' ' '

CHEST EXCHANGE
LISTS ALL CASES
BY CARD INDEX
Duplication of Service Avoided
by Keeping in Touch With
All Social Agencies of City.
The Confidential Exchange, which is
now an integral part of the Portland
Community Chest, is an office contain
ing card indexes on which are listed
the names of individuals or families
registered by the various social agen
cies of the city through which It is
possible to learn in the shortest possi
ble time wiiat other agencies are in-,
(v-rtf-i n the same families that have
appealed to them.
T i.c c:,esl reeks to avoid a dupli-
cation in the solicitation of funds
while the Exchange seeks to Avoid
duplication in service.
"The exchange has been referred to
aa a social service encyclopedia. It
Is in reality a very necessary index
to encyclopedic Information which Is
rto be found in the offices of the vari
ous societies consulting the exchange,"
said Miss Margaret D. Creech," secre
tary. "Do you fan the leaves of your
encyclopedia in a hit or miss effort
to locate the information you seek or
do you go directly to the index and
let it guide you at once to the page on
which the desired knowledge Is to be
found? If one is of the latter type of
mind they will sense the purpose of
(he Confidential Exchange.
SATES FT2CDS AKD TIME - "
"Participation in the exchange
saves1 funds, saves the time of work
ers And promotes the best service to
needy and unfortunate families. It
saves the families from being pau
perised by being able to receive funds
from all available sources. The story
of one Portland family receiving 14
turkeys on Christmas a few years ago
and entertaining IS relatives for a
week, is one well known to Portland
social workers. The exchange ; brings
better service to -needy families by
bringing about cooperation on the part
of agencies.
"A case 1 point is that of a tuber
cular mother who was nursing her
baby. The tuberculosis nurse visiting-
hen told her she must not nurse
the child. -!The child -welfare worker,
not knowing'' the tubercular condi
tion, was Admonishing her to continue
nursing the -child. One day the nurses
met on ths doorstep and explanations
and an TjanderstAnding followed. The
agency worker, who; is Interested in
children, the worker who Is interested
In the health of the family and the
WOrker'Sfho seeks to prevent poverty,,
ach AV different viewpoint. It is
hy the erglntf of these viewpoints
that tto- best service Is given. Full
use of the- exchange prevents families
from being confused by contrary Ad
vic. from the various Agencies by
bringing About intelligent cooperation
on the prt of participating Agencies.
A local - worker tell of visiting a
mother And - five children and of Ad
vising on the best course to persue, as
nothing was done after several visits,
she Asked the mother why she had net
done - as she requested And she said
four ether workers had visited her
and she didn't know what to do.

In other words, no information is
given out unless there is a legitimate-
Interest In the f AnjiJy'o welf Are. The
exchange Is in no sense a 'black list.'
It is not sn-fhjury to a family to list
mm
Lit, in the exchange. Sometimes the-fExchange
objection Is raised : This is such a
nice familv that I would not care to
register it." s This' is founded entirely
Upon a misconception of the function
of the exchange."
During the past year inquiries were
received from SS agencies, the total
number of inquiries received being
12.C0O. The exchange carried a totaj
of SO, 000 cards on which were no te3
from one to It persons. Detroit, with
a population of more than 990,000, re
oelved Inquiries from only 57 Agencies
during- the pAst year, showing Port
land's cooperation to be considerably
greater than that of the Eastern city.
These Portland figures are exclusive
Of the special holiday clearance main
tained at Thanksgiving and Christmas
time, separate cards being made out at
that time with designations of gifts
of food, toys and clothing, these to be
checked off as they are supplied, thus
insuring a lack of duplication while
others go without anything.) During
the holiday season inquiries were re
ceived from 75 agencies. . j
The Community Chest and ithe Con
fidential Exchange are desirous of
the participation of all churches,
lodpes, schools and other bodies which
have any interest in the welfare of

Whatever theme you seek to express in your home, you are invited
to make use of the; services of Jenning's advisory staff; and, in mak
ing selections, it is well to remember that greater freedom of choice
is allowed by the vast stocks of ; the Northwest's largest house of
home furnishings where distinctive character in home interiors is
possible at moderate cost.
Because Jennmg's displays among the very complete stocks the most
exclusive and the finest conceptions of the home-maker's art, does
not imply that Jenning's caters alone to the patronage of those who
are interested only in the finer and more expensive appointments.
Jenning's is not so much in the business of selling furniture as in the
business of creating better homes by fostering the spirit of home
love through the creation of home beauty.
To Jenning's the modest home is just as much a home, ahd as worthy
of the same careful thought and Interest, as' the mansion on the hill,
The one point upon which Jenning's, insists, is that every furniture
piece, whether the most costly for .the least expensive, must bear
artistic beauty in the creation of la real home.
! - . - : v. -
Such beauty is the least expensive of qualities, as a visit to Jenning's
aha a comparison of values will demonstrate v
And because Jenning's takes a keen pleasue in contributing, toward
the creation of an artistic home and realizes that such a home need
not be expensively furnished, the patronage of those whose price
limitations, are modest is also -eagerly sought and swill be gladly.
