AHJbouRh It Is the north portion
0 the Skyline road, extending the
Irhole distance from Crater Inke
Id Mount Hood along the summit
tf the Cascades, the Detrolt-Brelt-mbiuh
-Olallie -Clackamas -Government
Camp sector has an hnpor
kanoe all its own, because It makes
; np part of an easy one-day loop,
uotor trip.
Hie motorist may drive south
v-rer the Skyline from its juncture
rith the Waplnltta cutoff, then
Collow the Santiam highway from
Detroit to Bend, and return via
the Waplnltia, for a circuit which
not only may bo encompassed in
single day without difficulty, but
which will unfold before the eyes
of the traveler some of the stale's
most majestic mountain and lake
cenery,
From the upper Willamette valley
an alternate loop Is from Salem
through Mill City and Gates to
Detroit, up the Skyline to Mount
Hood, and return by way of Port
Jand. For a short distance west
. f Detroit, however, this road will
be found unpleasantly narrow and
rough. From eastern and centrri
Oregon the loop may be mado
through Sisters to Detroit and back
via the Wapinitia.
Throe-Ih.y Trip
Tho Detroit-tO'Government Camp
part of the Skyline road was fol
lowed by The Oregon I an -Oregon
Btate Motor association travel car
on the concluding dny of a three
day trek to Crater lake by wny of
Bend and Hie Dulles-California
highway, and return via the mile
high Skyline route. Pannengers were
Earl Snetl, Oregon secretary of
state; A. C Burke, sheriff of Marion
county, and the writer.
First day of the motorlog took
the white travel car to Crater lake,
while the second day found It roll
ing north post Diamond, Crescent,
Odell and Elk lakes, as well as
almost Innumerable smaller ones,
to swing away from the Skyline
route temporarily for a night at
Clear lake, a few miles down the
South Santiam highway.
Detroit, 55 miles east of Albany,
Is the point where the Skyline route, 1
which has been merged with the
North Santiam highway from Sis-j
ters, again starts out on Its own.
Road signs here Indicated Brelten
bush lake 25 miles and Olallie lake
31 miles, to the north and east
Up the Breltenbush river, a de
lightful little stream, now dashing
Its way along a narrow canyon, now
pausing as if to catch Its breath
n deep green pools, wound the road.
Although the south portion of the
Skyltne had been found tn excellent
condition, along here It was even
better a smooth graveled surface,
and although narrow, with suffici
ent room for passing other cars
which was well, for traffic In and
out of Breltenbush Springs was
somewhat heavier than that en
countered elsewhere on the 260-
mile Skyline routo.
Lofty Ridge Climbed
Leaving Breltenbush, the road
steadily climbed, until It began to
follow a lofty ridge. On every side
were rhododendrons In full, riotous
bloom, while the scenic vlnta which
unfolded whenever mountain mea
dows provided openings through the
timber was probably the most
spectacular of the entire journey
up Oregon's "backbone."
To the south towered Mount
Jefferson, Its jagged peak seemingly
framed by Breltenbush mountain
on one side and geometrical Pyra
mid butte on the other; north, ex
tended a rouky range hardly less
nltltudlnous. In places here the
road won actually blasted from
solid rock as It wound along the
ridge.
Shortly before arriving at Brelt
enbush lake, the motorlog car had
passed Into the Mount Hood na
tional forest, one of five national
forests Crater, Umpqua Deschutes,
Santiam and Hood trt versed by
the Skyl.'ne road.
After crossing a high pKs, until :
recently closed by snow, Uw road !
began to descend, with matcnless1
forest and mountain scenery un
folding all the while, to pass Horse
shoe and Monon lakes, and then to
rkirt the shore of Olallie lake,
popular plcnio and ramp spot.
Heavy timber surrounds this lake,
whllo well-developed trails lead to
points of Interest Including several
smaller lakes- In all directions
through Uie forest. Every conven
ience for the camper or picnicker is
provided by the forest service camp,
while a commercial resort offers
store and cabin facilities. North
of the lake Is 7210-foot Olallie
butte; to the west are Double Peaks
and Twin Peaks, with a dozen or so'
small lakes scattered through the
vnlley between.
A few minutes1 drive brings the
motorist to Olallie meadows, where
another forest camp is situated
amid the colorful m dun tain wild
flowers which carpet the ground
everywhere at this season of the
year. Then comes Lemiti forest

Lynch, superintendent of the for

Excellent Roods
Excellent condition of the forest
roads in the Mount Hood area
Lynch explained, as well as those in
other national forests through '
which the Skyline road passes, is
due In some measure to the policy
of barring them to traffic until thej
have dried out, to prevent forma
tion of ruts. The forest service is
constantly improving the roods
tn rou shout bis district, he said, and
is anxious that the public derive
the fullest possible measure of
benefit from the recreational areai
thus made available.
Past the north forest gate, wheri
two Oregon State college student!
passing their summer as forest
guards kept watchful eye on per
sons entering and leaving the Olal
lie area, the travel car turned inU
the Waplnltia highway, seven milei
south of its junction with the Mount
Hood loop road and ten miles from
Government Camp.
A fitting climax to the magnlfl

road was rmvided by the majestic
outline of Mount Hood, silhouetted

CHAPPED LIPS
OFTEN SERIOUS
People on picnics and outings dur
ing this hot weather are very spt to
have sunburned lips. This is laughed
at and considered a very minor
trouble, but it Is really a rather
serious condition, often leading to
much discomfort and the danger of
serious Infection.
"Up Smooth" Is a preventative
for chapped lip. It is widely used
by pilots flying open planes and ex
posed to sun and wind at high
sltitudes.

Have you a Modern

Water Heater?
The outside pump is no more except in remote country districts. The
horse and buggy days have gone today practically everybody owns a
car. Then why rely on old-fashioned methods of heating water, when
automatic hot water is so convenient, so labor- and time-saving, and so
moderate in cost! cleaning emphasizes, as does nothing else except
siclness, the importance of having a practically unlimited supply of hot
water on tap. But there are dozens of other occasions when a constant
supply of hot water saves time and energy and promotes health.
There's the morning glass of hot water which cleanses your system and
gets you ready for an appetizing breakfast. There's hot water for the
baby's bath and for washing baby clothes. There is hot water for shaving
end for the morning hot-and-cold shower that is such a bracer. There is
hot water for th evening bath that removes the accumulated dust and
dirt of the day and promotes sound slumber. Why not look into the lower
heating rates and greater efficiency of modern automatic heaters?
