all Summer the Columbia High

the quickest way to Crater Lake
from Portland. Thla la aald with no
Idea of unfalrneaa toward the Pa
cific Highway through Western Ore
gon. The writer Uvea in the Willam
ette valley and baa traversed both
routes, but l ohlfKtd to admit that J
ar.d the mill, employ more than
14 00 men. It makes Bend a lltely
town. In truth, It uas like entering
city
e just
missed getting arretted. The cit
of Uend with Its hundreds of motor
cars, has t raffle ordinances, and offi
cers who enforce them We kept to
the right all right, and we made our
t'irna all O. K. at the Intersections
Ju aa we have been proper!) tral -ed
to do. tint when we stopped for
about tire or six minutes to bin a
for flinging in I lea from the tail of a g(cP of tecon and , can of condenJ,e,j
car, those Eanerii O-ejion rosds are
great.
Our party la wi' out for rpel
we want to enloy tho Kenery and
have a good time aa we go along.
We have not Icon disappointed, yet
by Jogging along, we made th" trip
from Crater Lake to The Dallea In
Just 21 hours actual running time.
It la n short day'a run from here to
Portland. So there you have It
lens than three da8 from Portland
to Crater Lake' When the work
now being done on the rough spota
Is completed, the trip can be made
from Oregon's metropolis to Crater
Lako, by way of tho Columbia High
way and Eastern Oregon. In two
das.
Riiifl to The Dnllex Direct.
There Is almost a direct north-
and-aouth road from the park to
Tho Dalles. Starting from Head
quarters, In the park, this route
drops 1C miles down the line Gov
ernment boulevard and Forest Re
servo road to the beginning of the
Demi road, nbotit two miles south of
old Fori Klamath. Wo did not need
Kasollne or oil, aa we had storked up
at Med ford with enough to take us
through to Ilend. Anhow. and with
no desire to adwrtlse tv car that
doesn't need It. let It be aald that
our Oakland Six Is as sting) with gas
at a miser Is with ponnles. She lias
averaged from SO to 21 miles to the
gallon, right through the mountain
country. Hut those who need gaso
line enn get It at Headquarters In
Crater Lake, for SO to CO cents per
four quarts, 40 cents at Fort Klam
ath, .17 cents nt Crescent. 3!" cents
At I.a Pine and 2C cunts at Ilend.
Our route took us directly Into
the Dig Springs Indian reservation
This Is a line forest road, with one
ctlff 7ull of about four mllea In
Hand, Just after leaving the Fort
Klamath road. This Is far from bad,
however, and once getting to the top
Is clear stilling all the way through
to I.a Pino The road Is crooked,
winding through the cllow and dig
ger pines, but It Is hard und smooth
'and good for 2G miles an hour for
thu drler who has n good eye and a
II rm hold on thu steering wheel.

We ramped ono night on Heaver
Marsh, on lllg Springs Creek. This
Is In the heart of the reeervntlon.
The water Is an cold as melting snow
eun make It uud thu camp offers nn
abundancu of cool shade and fuel.
Just a short mllu frout the creek
crossing Is a forest ranger station,
with telephone nnd a (5o eminent
wurden who Is happy In giving out
nil possible Information about the
surrounding region as to Halting,
tilde trips and trails.
We had a number of copper-skin-neil
callers. These were Indians
from the surrounding rnnchua. In
spite of tliclr dark complexion, thuy
lire nn ugreeablu people. Many of
them rode ponies, but some einuo In
motorcars. All of thorn were Inter
tvsted In our car And lot It bo said

rough tit spots, due lo tho deep
milk, we forgot to park the car
against the curb Wo had halted
Juat 4S seconds, and opened the
screen door of the shop wheti 'Ik

of the party. Defore that bacon and
condensed milk could be bought wc
had to park the car'
Hood Nor til of Ilend Fine.
Just the same. Mend Is a good
town, and we left with no III feel
ings. We rolled on north over as
fine a highway as Oregon affords,
laid out In graceful curves along the
bank of the Deschutes. Oh. how-
charming that country Is! With the
r ver frothing and lolling In the can
yon below; cliffs and pinnacles of
painted rocks lifting Into the bluest
of blue skies; orchards of Juniper
trees covering the flats end benches:
green fields of alfalfa where an
abundance of Irrigating water gives
succulence and plenty; pretty bun
galow h with broad clover lawns and
picturesque fences of lava stone, and
on beyond, the towering, snow-capped
peaks of the Three Sisters, of
Mount Washington. I.ava Ilutte and
Jefferson,
All the way north we had frequent
and ncver-tlrlng glimpses of these
mountain peaks, with old Hood ad
ded to the list as we approached The
Dalles. Most of the way tho road
Is high, following the upper reaches
of thu table lands, acroos regions of
sage and Juniper, a land of color- or
rod rooks, yellow garni nnd n desert
painted In brightest shade of lav-
onder, purple and crimson. Tho
brightest touches. Just now, arc giv
en by ucrcs of "Indian paint brush
es," desert petunias and rock lilies,
It Is a picture that constcntly pleases
and swUtly changes.
A few miles below Ilend tho hlgh-
way crosses the river and leads a
distance out Into the Deschutes val
ley. It comes back to the east side
near Redmond, "the huh city of the
Deschutes."
Redmond has n live bunch of
boosters and Is determined to be
come a clt) of Importance. No doubt
It win, for It has splendid advan
tages, located as It Is directly on thu
railroad nnd In tho heart of tho Ir
rigated region.
Tho commercial organizations of
Redmond and Ilend, with the help of
tho many motorists of that prosper
ous region, hnvo done n good work
In marking thu main highway. Tho
"whlto nnd blue route," Indicated by
white nnd blue signs, leads tho trav
eler easily nnd unerringly, We fol
lowed this roulo on north, crossing
Crooked rlvor near Terrebonno, nnd
turning directly to the left nt tho
top of tho canyon grade Instead of
taking the old route. This led us
strnlght north to Metollus, Madras
nnd (latuwoy.
Tho roughest part of all tho route
Is through Hay Creek canyon, be
tween Gateway nnd Antelope. This
Is rocky und rough. Hut thero are
only a few in 1 1 on of It, and tho ning-
nllUent Hoenery more than coiupon
antes for tho slow going. A new
highway Is now under construction
which, when completed, will ohvlute
the rocky way through the canyon
bottom ThlH road will lead higher
up along tho cliffs.

And speaking of cliff roads, and
cliff grades, Hnotorn Oregon has a
number of those; yet few of them
are dangerous, for the reason that
the grmlBM nro easy, tho turns not
short, and thu way open mi (lint tho
drivers of nppronnhlng cars can see
each other lit time to make a wifo
passing-
From Slmnlko wo took tho roulo
by Matipln rather than by Grass Val
la) and Morrow. This route Is nhortor
by a few miles, and eiffsra more In
the way of Bconury. The DoscliutOB
crowing la nt Mnupln, by n freo
bridge There Is a four mile grade
that winds down to tho rlvor nnd
gives grand vlovva nt every turn.
