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.

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.
