J Nature's Scenic Cascades Viewed by Local Motorist Newhalem, Wash. -Whether1 you're interested in dams or mountainous scenery a trip which includes both is avail able daily during the summer in northwest Washington. The twice daily trips are of Seattle City Light's Skagit Hydroelectric project and in clude rides by bus, incline railroad and boat. While the majority of those who take the trips arrived here by car, once a week (on Tuesdays) a bus leaves downtown Seattle. Newhalem is about 130 miles from Se attle and can be easily reach ed via Highway 99 then 55 miles east of Sedro-Woolley. The drive through the fer tile, and apparently prosper ous, Skagit valley and along the Skagit river to Newhalem is well worth the trip in it self. Briefing For those taking the morn ing tour a briefing is held in Currier hall here where the entire hydroelectric project is explained. Then lunch is served family style in the chow hall across the street. Platters of fried chicken, spaghetti, cold cuts and cheese, potatoes, green beans, salads, relishes and dinner rolls are passed and after you have eaten far too much, there is blackberry pie and ice cream. Here the buses are boarded for the seven mile trip to the incline railway at Diablo dam. A guide, University of Washington students, accom pany each bus and comments on points of interest. Every mile of the trip un folds magnificent view of primitive mountain regions usually inaccessible except to the seasoned high-country hiker. The road, winding along the Skagit river, has recently been widened and extended by the Bureau of Public Roads. Tourists can now trav el this route during certain hours to U.S. Forest service campgrounds and recreational areas about five miles beyond Diablo dam. This road, part of the pro posed North Cross-State high way, will join Highway 16 at Mazama north of Winthrop and Twisp, which should be come a major scenic road in the state. Four Tunnels The present road, which in cludes four tunnels, one for westbound traffic only, is on the old railroad grade which wus discontinued in 1954. Residents note, however, that surveys for a road through litis area and on cast were first made in the 1870s when there was talk of gold here. The highway crosses Gorge creek and the bus stops to let the passengers look down 250 feet to the water. The first of the three dams is Gorge dam. Next is Diablo dam. The incline railroad was built after the comple tion of Diablo to surmount a ring of impassable moun tains. It carried all materials and equipment for die Moss dam to the upper level of Diablo dam. From there work men traveled by barge to the damsilc-41 -j miles away. The traveler today takes the same trip, the platform with a capacity of 158.000 pounds climbs the 08 per cent grade in six minutes. It oper ates on three sets of tracks and as it rises the tiOO feel it provides the traveler with a panoramic view of snowy peal's spread out in all direc tions with Diablo camp and its green lawns below. Solid Rock The incline slops on the level of a road which cuts through solid rock, and it is here that one gets the first view of Diablo dam and lake. The dam Is wedged between two rocky walls so close to gether that one wonders where engineers found space enough for it. The boat Alice Ross 11 is boarded for the trip to Ross dam powerhouse. There are two levels to the boat and the more hearty chose the upper deck so as not to miss a single snowy mountain or rocky cliff. Al ttie powerhouse the i ! guides explain its operation j ; in language easily understood ; by the layman and tar more : thoroughly than in larger j dinns loured by this traveler, j Also, the guide was able to I answer several questions here in previous tours else where she had received only ! vague half-interested replies. From the powerhouse one can see Ross dam, fifth high est in the world when com pleted in 1959. It backs the waters of the Skagit river 'J4 miles extending into Canada. Visit Garden Returning to Newhalem the bus stops at the Ladder Creek falls and garden established j I by one of the tirst superin-I pendent;, of the Seattle City j Light company. The gardens, j ' neglected during World War I 11. have never regained their j status of the pre-w ar era j 1 While the trip, including 111 -Meeb aa go''eoO worth the lime, the plants I MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. and flowers are not identified, A few of the exotic ones sur vive, and one wishes there was someone, somewhere in terested enough in the garden to restore it or identify the plants growing there today. From here it is a short walk back to the car and the drive out. Reservations are recom mended for the trip and may be made through Skagit Tours office of the City Light com pany in i Seattle. The tour price ($3) includes the trans portation throughout the proj ect and one meal. Persons taking the afternoon tour have the evening meal instead of lunch. Motorists traveling north anytime through September 15 should plan to take the tour adding to their knowl edge of nature's scenic Cas-cades.-P.H.

OREGON A group of women from Oswego, Ore., were in the Rogue valley for the first four plays of the 1963 Oregon Shakespearean fes tival. The women were registered at Lazy Acres motel. Gold Hill, and each evening dined at a different restaurant in Medford or Ashland and are pictured here following dinner one night at Mary'i Casa. Pictured are (left to right) Mrs. August Turchi, Miss Sally Housewives Offer Ideas For Improving Products By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-lUPli-The nation's housewives never run low on ideas for improving the manu facturers' products. The latest list of "why don't they?" from a consumer consultant panel arrived on this desk today. The women offered suggestions ranging from a plea for soup without onions to man-sized paper handkerchiefs packaged in masculine looking containers. National Family Opinion, Toledo, Ohio, compiled these "why don't they?" from let ters written by the women consultants. The firm says it has 85,000 homemakers en rolled as part time advisers. One woman wondered why there weren't more of the pop ular soups made without onions for those who cannot eat the "tasty" little fellows. The one who wanted the man-sized paper hankies indi cated the packaging of most of those now available arc in feminine looking boxes. Other "why don't they?" requests: -Make a spray can dis penser for grease and oil to be used for baking purposes. Cloth Bags -Put flour in cloth bags as they used to. The cloth was Square Dancers Slate Hoedown Three callers will partici pate in the open hoedown square dance to " be held Saturday, August 3 in the Country Square, Talent. The callers will be Floyd Work man, Arthur Shoemaker, and Byron Dibble. Dancing will begin at 8:30 p. m. Women are to take light re freshments and are asked not to take salads, officers ex plained. All interested square danc ers are invited. Fans will be provided for cooling the hall, those in charge stated. Smilh Family Visits Coast Ashland - Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Smith, 985 East Main street, accompanied by their son Charles and his family from Red Bluff. Calif., vaca tioned last week along the coast making their headquar ters at Patrick Point. In Los Angeles O'Brien - Karen Preston is i vacationing in Los Angeles i w ith her grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. L i n d a h 1. While there she has attended a reunion with other grand children and great grandchil dren of the Lindahls. Ttv THIS 3-Step Plan FIOM UNCLE SAM gttifoV CEREAL useful in numerous ways when the flour was gone. -Make clastic that will last as long as the garments that it is sewn into. -Package lard and other shortenings in pre-measurod units, as they do for butter and margarine. -Use tubes to pack butter or margarine for picnic and tra vel use to simplify sandwich making. -Package individual s e r v ings of instant tea or coffee. The writer suggested such packages would be easy to carry to work and with a lit tle saccharine also enclosed in the container, a boon to diet ers. Eliminate Glare -Make windshield wipers of black metal only. At cer tain angles of the sun and car, sun reflection on chromium is blinding. -Put non-metal, perhaps plastic, stocking fasteners on girdles because many persons are allergic to metals. Invent a better toothpaste lube. With a family of "mid dle squishers" something new would be welcome. -Make a clear plastic foot feed on the sewing machine so one can sec when the bob bin thread is almost gone. -Fit upright freezers with roll-out baskets on the shelves. If a freezer is al all full, frozen packages continually slide out when the freezer door is opened. -Arrange the stocks of supermarkets so that eggs, butter, frozen products and bread can be picked up last. Having these first on a shop per's rounds forces him or her to rush so that frozen foods won't thaw before being un packed al home and constant product shifting to keep bread from being crushed under other purchases.
