Tiro stops toward the, development
cf winter sports recreation near Eu
gene, similar to the Jit. Hood area,
hare been outlined by the chamber of
coramcrco outdoor recreation com'
mittee following their inspection trip
to the ill. Hood area Sunday.
Members of the committee who
mnde tlie trip aro l'erry A. i nonipsnn,
chairman, I'rroy Urown, Dot Dotsou,
and IOui Waldorf.
ti.a two-fold nrocram was listed ai
follows: 1. Find h suitable location for
ski jumps, toboggan slides and ski runs
in Ilia .Mcienzie region, eiiany m:ci-n-sible;
2. Secures commercial conces
sion to operate a lodge, rent equip
ment and to provide other things nec
essary in conjunction with a winter
sports area.
The men went to Government Camp
.st Mr, Hood Saturday night where
ther were entertained as guests of the
i'or'tlnnd Mazama club. Several hund
red persons were at the camp for the
various sports Sunday, Mr. 'Thompson
reported. -
The Eugene croup inspected the
facilities at the Mt. Hood location and
will later ohlaj) plans and specifica
tions for ski jump and toboggan
slides from the 1'artland engineer who
designed the Mt. Hood facilities.
The purpose her is to locate an
area in which winter sports could be
held near Eugene, probably near
Scott lake or at Pole bridge cabin and
'Hand lake, Mr. Thompson said. While
plans are still in a formative stale, it
is the hope of the chamber committee
to get action as soon aB possible in
constructing two ski jumps, a ski run
and toboggan slide, to be used by the
public free of coBt. The commercial
concession would probably install fac
ilities also, Mr. Thompson Boid.
Mr. Thompson will head a group
going into the MeKcnzie area in the
near future and pick out a location for
winter sports.

rotted, for it fell to pieces when the
tree was brought down.

small task. Fourteen roots averaging
two feet in diameter hnd to be chop

Lil Dagover Is
Charming Actress
T.II Dagover, the lovely lady from
overseas who is so unlike all the other
lovely ladies who corns to us from
oversens. enme Sunday to the HeUitf
theater in "The Woman from Monte
Carlo." Miss Dngover triumphs in the
picture, not alone by her exceptional
acting, but by thnt universal language
which has nothing whatever to do with
time, pines or nstionnlity.
I.il Dngover Is a creature of ever-
changing moods. Slight, rather small,
and with unfathomable eyes she is,
by turns wistful, gay, tantalizing nnd
tragic. She makes of the role of Lot
tie Corlaix, butterfly wife of a stern
sea captain, a person to be pitied even
when blamed. No more satisfying part
could have been chosen by the pro
ducers to introduce the superb artis
try of the star. ...
The supporting cast Is headed hy
Walter Huston and Warren William.
Hustn plays the part of Cniitaiu Cor
laix, commander of a battlo cruiser,
whose duties make him neglect his
wife. William portrays the dashing
lieutenant whose love for. the cap
tain's wife results in his suicide, and
in her becoming an outcast. A sea bat
tle at the finish makes the picture one
that should not be missed.
