SwSm& Mt. Hood iw Seen from Lo-dt Lake. Samuel Ely Eliot lo Sunday Orogonlan. Photographsof Mount Hoodlaken from U)Ht Luke are now not only familiar to evv I'ortlander but toevery Oregonian. A.-idt: f-oni their local association, their intrinsic beauty is recognized and has limb' them popular wherever copies have chanced to circulate. Since the MM of these famous photographs was taken, four or Ave years ago, the in creating interest has led many photog rapher, both amateur and professional, to undertake the somewhat tedious trip for the sole purpose of obtaining their own negatives of the view. When it is considered that the moBt superb mountain scenery is here coupled with many of the features that go to make camping-out enjoyable, one might well wonder that the place has been vis ited by comparatively so small a num ber of plain campers those who are merely seeking an outing, and for whom photography may have but a secondary interest. But when the difficulty of ac cess to the lake, and its distance from lines of travel and farms are regarded, its present lack of popularity as a point to be visited by scenery lovers and fish ermen is in a measure accounted for. Speaking for myself, I cannot see how any one can look at a photograph of the mountain from Lost Lake, and not be stirred to take a trip there for the sake of the actual view Doubtless many have been so moved ; but the impulse is forgotten, or, if it remains, is not carried out, in some cases because of lack of definite knowledge concerning the situ ation of the lake and how to reach it. Lost Lake is at an elevation of from , 3000 to -MOO feet, and lies in the foothills, about eight miles to the northwest of Mount Hood. As seen by the map, it is triangle-shnped; it averages a mile and u half on a side. A road from the town of Hood River covers the first 18 miles of the trip, to the ford on the west fork of Hood river? There, wagon or wheels must be left, and a fair mountain trail followed through splendid woods for the last 10 miles. The latter half of this trail is steep and long. Indeed, one is well disposed to call the lake "lost" in fact as well as name, long before he gets there. Do not look for signs posting the presence of yellow-jackets' nests that line the trail. Unfortunately no one lias considered it his duty to stop and stick them up. Kvery party has to run the gauntlet; they lay for the pack horses and give them the "worst dose. Arrived at the lake, the majority of campers choose a grove of cedars at the inlet, to the hike. 1 prefer the other camp, where Gifford took his famous view of the mountain. There are ad vantages and disadvantages to consider in the choice of either. The mountain is hidden from view by a wooded point for those who camp at the inlet. Clif ford's camp is on the shore directly op posite the mountain, so that the grand est view is always in sight. The time of summer to visit the lake may be chosen according to t!ie visitors' tastes. Two years ago 1 was there from July 10 to lti; the laurel and lupine were still gloriously in bloom on the mountain sides, and the woods W3re full of 'JO kinds of wild dowers, by count, even fur my unpractieed eyes. I re member the anemones in particular; for size, quantity and beauty, these about Portland cannot compare. This vear, from August 16 to 22, the feasts of blueberries and huckleberries made me swear that I'd never go there again ex cept in huckleberry season. The fish ing is excellent the summer -through. Hunting, however, cannot be classed with the attractions of the lake. Of course there are discomforts and inconveniences to put up with when one camps o far from civilization. If you stay long, canned foods become an abomination; milk and eggs are as un attainable as the proverbial bees' knees and canary birds' tongues. The lake can sport no light canoe that answers the deft stroke of a paddle or completes the picture of pristine wooded shores with its graceful outline, or gently scrapes the pebbled beach in landing. There is but one boat, which is the most aggravating old "lumberbuss" of a tub that ever leaked water to the desper ation of the bailer; it rows as if it had an anchor in tow. Well did some party christen her the "Bailer Gatzert." You don't have to hunt mosquitos with a butterfly net at the inlet. I mention this, for you may observe upon your ar rival that they are big enough for bait. If it rains, even a joke in camp isn't safe if it's a dry one! But all these irritations, all the time consumed, all the deprivation and pos sible inconvenience, sink Into Insignif icance In-fore the wonderful view which the mountain affords at this place. I have never visited, nor have I ever heard of a better vantage point than this from which to behold, to adore mid commune with the great Oregon patriarch. The photographs can give one only a fitful hint of the impresMive, ever-changing beauty that awaits the eye-witness. One day It may be that the clouds completely en velop the peak, while only the mount ain's base, with snow straggling down its deeper clefis, is visible. The dark forest trees that bristle on the mount nius surrounding the lake combout the lolling cloud banks into fugitive veils of mist, and Hie water of the lake is black und culled with the wind. When the weather breaks, und glad rifts of blue begin to show in the hur rying cloud musses, then watch the mountain! First It shoulders oil" those clinging mists, and, crag by crag, gla cier by glacier, now hidden and now glistening through with the virgin fall of snow, finally it emerges, exquisitive ly clear cut against the washed blue, a iia..ling white in the fresh sunlight. 'Phis I have seen; it was wonderful! Then for tint mountain at sunrise, at sunset, by moonlight! My lied under the trees lay so thai I might see the mountain clearly by merely raising my bead. The flint time that the moon was shining I happened to awaken some lime iu the night. A glance at the mountain brought me to a sitting posture. Shall the sight that met my e en ever become dim in my memory? ' have it tor a menial picture that would reconcile me in blindness, If ever it should lie mine to bear such a uiisfoitune. There whs the full moon, toll risen to the left of the mountain peuk; almost directly over the mimmil Jupiter flowed like a star of Bethle hem; only an occasional snow y spur of the mountain caught the keen moon lieams; I he rest of the mass seemed lit tle less than spirit, so weirdly did the soft gray shi'lows bid the eye strain fir a more definite outline. Oh, and here la-low the whole, so silently and peifectly icflected that even the star icarce 'trembled in I bat unconscious mirror. Right Uxwt me the shafted moonlight came slanting down through the branches, silvering the lice trunks. The silence, it was like a vast Gothic cathedral. It may I of interest to those who have already visited Lost Lake, or even to tlnwe who have an indirect at tachment for It through a photograph. to hear a bit of incident connected will) the naming of Hie lake. Twenty live yean ago my father, together with a party niade up of farmers, surveyors innt some Kastern vinitors, started li. in. Hood Ki.tr with the intention f utomii'g !.ouaiutcd w ith Ills lake, whiwp whrrmiMMila they knew by lit-nrsay. but which none of Ibem had cr t)ited. Tfin the lake l1 no American name; it may have had an Indian one. There were no trails In the woodson that side of the mount ain. Moreover, dense smoke combined with the strangeness of the country to confuse their compass. . For some hours the party wandered about lost; finally toward evening they came out on the lake shore as much by chance as by calculation. About the campflre that evening some one, apropos of their recent scrape, told the story of the In dian who was lost iu the woods; when met by a white man and asked if be was lost, he said: "No; Injun not l; wigwam lost." Soon after getting back fo Portland my father wflote a letter to The Oregonian, giving an ac count of the trip, and In the course of this article suggested the name "Lost Lake," which it has, retained ever since. From the high point known us Huckleberry Kidge the one that appears on the right of most of the photographs of the mount ain from the lake a magnifi cent view of the lake, the surround ing mountains and of Hood is obtained. The latter appears Immeasurably high by reason of the foothills that lie be tween and give the massive and more imposing foreground and foundation to the mountain. One of the first things that is noticed upon arrival at the lake is the vast area of burnt tim ber that whitens the large ra mntaiu, which rises up from the left hand or: northern shore. When climbing Huckleberry Kidge, more and more of the timber land, oil' toward the middle of the Cascades, comes into view, that is lamentably scarred and scorched by forest fire. In looking at these burns, it Is a gloomy comfort to know that what is left of all the limber in sight is now within the confines of the govern ment reserve, and is regularly patrolled and watched by forest rangers. These rangers have to pass a searching civil service examination, and must be equipped physically, mentally, in dis position and in woodcraft for their lonely calling. -All the summer months, until the fall rains, they camp singly at some strategic base in the midst of the territory for which they are responsible. If a Are breaks out anywhere within their limits, they sling camp stuff and grub upon their horse, and out they "hike,'' straight over the mountains, the nearest way to fight it. If ail is quiet in the territo ry of one, and he sees a fire anywhere in a part of the reserve apportioned to another, no matter if it be two days' Journey off he must go and help con trol it. There was one of these flue fellows in camp at the lake this year. Barney Cooper, a son of the Mount Hood ' pio neer for whom Cooper's Spur on Mount Hood was named. At the recent heavy tire on the Mount Hood road, near Cloud Cap Inn, he had four other rang ers, from country all the way from Mount Hood to the Three Sisters, help ing him handle it. A pillar of smoke rising out of distant forests on the ho rizon has always fired me with a sort of a rebellions, revengeful spirit. It does me good, though, now, to think that any place in the Cascade reserve, when such appears, it means also that a trusty woodman is crashing his way to it, to fight it to the end. Barney Cooper came to supper at our camp the last night we stayed at the hike this August. After a' jolly even ing around the campflre, as he was pulling away iu his boat to his snug camp at the inlet, he shouted back: "Tell anybody that's thinking of com ing out to come right along! Barney Cooper's summer resort is alt ready for 'em!" Meets with Hearty Approval. The up-to-date library proposition which is before Hood River people is meeting with hearty approval. It was to be expected, for there are many )eo ple In Hood River who can appreciate good literature, it Is only one more proof of the intellectuality of the peo ple of Hood River and of the valley. But few so far have refused to become mem Iters. Though only a small per cent oi me people nave oeeu seen as yet by the committee in charge, the library is practically assured. The fol lowing list of books, partially prepared by the committee and completed by the librarian of the Portland Library, who spent some time in her selection of books, shows why the people gladly subscrilwone dollar for the privilege of reading tnem. air. ssiocimi has ottered very kindly to purchase the books for the library at the lowest possible fig ures.

Address 1 ue Hlade.Toledo.Ohio. E.I). Calkins Writes of the Inland Empire Hood River, September 8, 1902.-Ed- itor Glacier: The country around Day ton is a rolling prairie and produces big crops. All the roads run along the streams or canyons which are numer ous, reaching back to the foothills of the Jdue mountains. Along the creeks is some timber and most ot the ranch ers have their buildings iu the canyons on account of water and to be protected from the wind, ritteen miles east is a high plateau of rich farming land. To the southeast is timber and a fine view of the foothills of the mountains. To the northeast is the wild scenery of the Tucannon river which surpasses the Deschutes in roughness. As to how the name originated is in dispute. Some claim the Hudson Bay company lost two cannon wnen mey were unnging them through exploring. The govern ment road crosses near this point. To the north-you can see the wheat fields of Garfield county. I saw the up-to-date threshers self feeders, straw burners and straw blowers. There is but little heavy work as compared with the old thresher. Around Prescott they farm the steepest knolls and hogbacks bv us ing axles twelve feet long for the hind wheels. The driver and loader use log gers' shoes to keep their footing and a tenderfoot generally jumps his job the first day. On my way back I spent one day in "Waitsburg with C. Welds and family. He is having good trade and is the only shoemaker there at present. " I met Link Evans a former resident of Hood River. Waitsburg is a fine town of twelve hundred with fine schools and academies. Quite lively business is be ing done by the real estate men. The well to-do farmers of Columbia and Walla Walla counties have their winter residences in town to have a better school than the district schools afford. Many are coming down from the Palonse country for a milder climate and educa tional advantages. No wonder the red man opposed the white man's taking this country for It was a paradise for him. At Wallula I met Charles Ross and wife. They are running an eating room and have a good trade. They are glad to see any one from Hood River. Old packers tell me this was the great est stock country they ever saw, from The Dalies to Lewiston, Idaho. -The meaning of Walla Walla is "beautiful waters" and there are fine mountain streams coming down from the Blue mountains every few miles which are being used for irrigating. All kinds of small fruits are being grown near Milton and also on the Walla Walla river. The Clark's Seedling is doing well lij that section. E.J). CALKINS.' ; Republican Nominal ions In Klickitat.

The principal idea of the evening was that a Christian man could not vote any other ticket except the prohibition and be consistent with his profession. Leslie Butler, Joseph Mayes, Rev. H. C.
