CONTOUR MAP OF SANDY VALLEY AND MT. HOOD RAILWAY LINE. IIRST STEPS IN MT. HOOD ROAD NEARLY DONE The work of the Mt. Hood Kai I road Company has been of uppermost inter est to all the people m eastern Mult nomah and Clackamas counties for the last two years and yet a good many of the readers of the Herald do not know just what the project is. Rather they do not know just what the company intends to do. The above map seems to settle many questions that may be asked, for it has been gotten out. we are informed, by the authority of the company, and if they did not intend tiie road to eventually run where indicated they surely would not have so mapped their bolding?. This map seems to dispoy of another matter. The branch to Bull Run is not even given here. Evidently the main line will run through Sandy, Cherryville “Saratoga and eastward. The main defect in the map seems to l»e that it has left off the Bull Run branch. This should l>e ex tended from the vicinity of Pleasant Home east vard to the banks of the Sandy. It follows that stream to a point west of Bull Kun, near the mouth of the Bull Kun stream and from there passes along its banks to the power plant which will be located where the word K is located on the map. The new townsite. Saratoga, is n w on the mar ket by the Mt. Hood ¡»eople am! by several private firms in Portland. A visit to the region near Bull Kun at this time will be of considerable in terest No place in the state can boart of a finer bit of scenery than can be viewed from the bluffs of the Bandy, a couple of miles west of Bull Kun. from which |H)int the entire panorama of the DOINGS OF OUR NEIGHBORS REEZY ITEMS COYTR1BITED BY HER y LD CHERRYVILLE Beautiful .June day».

While n«»t so extensive in area, yet more beautiful in detail ami coloring is the view eastward up the Bull Run Gorge as viewed from the ¡sjint just back <4 the town. At six o’clock on a summer’s evening, if fairly clear, that is not smoky or foggy, the vi w is just glorious. The dark green of the forest clad mountains and canons, the majestic sweep of the mountain, the mingling of colors pink and blue and sunlit gold, will convince you that not all of the painter's art is imagina tion The picture you will see here will not soon be forgotten.
