Tumalum employees in the north-

week-end to participate in the an
nual outing arranged by the lumber
company. This year the big idea was
to climb Mt. Adams over the south-
ern trail and as climbing conditions
was said to be good and a fine easy-
time was expected nearly all em
ployees of the company in this dis
trict participated in the proposed
stunt.
D. E. Clark, manager of the Turn-
alum yards at Moro, was among those
present when the roll was called and
start made for the top of the moun
tain. Sixteen persons started cho
climb to the top and eleven finished.
Many of the climbers were affected
by the altitude, which is 12,740 feel
at the summit.
Several who were members of the
Tumalum party to reach the summit
of Mt. Adams also made the climb
with the American Legion up M'.
Hood a week ago Sunday. A number
who made both climbs were of the
opinion that Mt. Adams was the
hardest to scale, the trip being much
longer altho not as dangerous.

"A Girl of the Limberlost” is one

The scenes of the book made
famoxis by the word painting of the
authoress are now revealed on the
screen, interwoven with a romance
whose pathos and tender sentiment
will make the picture as well remem

her sweet and loving nature over

told.
“Battling Bunyan’” ts the story of
a youth, a waif of Fate, battered
from pillar to post until he gets a job
in Peterson’s garage. There he meets
a little charmer, played by Molly
Malone, who sets his ambitions soar
ing. Nothing short of a partnershij
in the garage is his goal. Then Fate
drops a monkey wrench into the ma
chinery. A professional pugilist of
of the modern drawing-room type
drives through, spies Molly, takes a
second look add decides to put this
town on his calling list.
The story is filled with rare good
humor, as well as pathos; there are
many laughs and a perfect atmos
phere. Wesley Barry makes the part
of "Battling Bunyan” a very human
and very lovable youth and gives to it
a sincerity that reflects a fine dra
matic instinct. It’s a bully good pic
ture that will be thoroughly enjoyed
by every one who isn’t suffering from
a frost bitten heart.
Molly Malone, Chester Conklin
