A ieal- ousy, .which leads to trouble, springs up amongst them because of the love that has developed between Ariine and Thuddeus.

SCENIC POINT WAS CALLED STORM CLIFF While most of the salient points of the Cascades along the Columbia have some interesting significance in Indian legend, no authentic legend has ever been told of Mitchell Point. A story prevails to the effect that in early days a man named Mitchell, when chased by hostile Red Men plunged over the prec ipice and was killed. But this seems to have no foundation. "When I first came to Hood River," says E. I.. Smith, who removed to the velley 39 years ago from Olympia, where he had resided with his family when secretary of Washington terri tory, "we called Mitchell Point Storm Cliff. The rain and wind clouds that were brought scurrying up the Colum bia always seemed to be divided here and sent eddying around the Hood Kiver valley." And the name is an appropriate one. The pines and lira that have found root in the sides of the points bear mute evidence of their struggle with the wind that ever blows strongly on the exposed cragsides. The contour cf the rugged stone miss, as one stands at either the east or west approach of to the tunnel work of the Columbia highway, showing the jaggedclitrs. the gnarled trees and the sheer, precipi tous drops, is awe inspiring. High up on ine .race or tne larger clitf ia a nine pruesiai. Slowed; oack I in a mchelike hole. Those who have climbed tne trail that leads almost perpemlicu larly to the niche, have found this while, ghost like column tn ha the lull siuinp oi a pcirined tree. Edgar l.ocke. a rancher uhn U on orchard place just east of , Michell Point, has a flock of white goats that nave run wil.l and now make the eyrie crags meir home. Strangers, unac quamted with the region, have often taken these animals for wild goats By following rough trails that lead around the base of th luu ffifii nt tut hn wooded ranges that lie back of Mitchell i oiiii, me explorer may in an hour s time reach spo's as virgin and unmo tested as though thev were a hundred miles from an habitation. Deer hunt ers find this a favorite shooting ground in the fall. However. Ih on me places not overgrown with larg er mresi irees, render much of this country almost impassable. This dis trict along the tup of the great gorge is known as the "brakes of tne Columbia." Cougars often come down to the Co lumbia from these wilds. A vear aao one was seen gwimmino the ColumliiM jusi wesi or Mitchell foint. A boat man made an utr.irt tn Imn tha I . cat, but was afraid to put his plans in to effect, when the cougar began to swim toward his boat. Bobcats rr.av be found there by the score. In the fall of 1913 Judge Derby and b E. Newby were returning from umnu hunting down the sides of the lareer crag, when they were startled by a bleat and a scurrvins of feet above them. Looking toward the summit of Big Mitchell, thev saw m hntunt in full Might, nursued hv one nt I n-lt'a wild goats. The cat took to a stunted pine, while the soat nawed fernrinnolv Biid vented his anger on bushes around the roots of the tree. Ibe five mile stretches nf Cnlutnhiu highway, a nortion lnratfl htw..un Cascade Locks anri tho Unllmh county line and the remainder between vyetn ana viento, are just about com pleted. In fact, it is now possible for an automobile to travel f mm Mnnrl Kiver to Portland. The rough places. however, will make ih imirnau tin. comfortable for a time. These sections of the wagon and automobile road have been ciuiii oy tne Newport Land & Con. Iruction Co. from the nrncppila nf $7(,00u bond isaue sold by Hood River county last year.

With b5 per cent or more of the $75,000 expenneo on a third of a mile, where the road will past through solid rock, cuts or tunnel, this construction work is expensive as railroad work. 'I he lines built up the Deschutesjriver.are eaiu io nave ueen as expensive as any ever constructed in this portion of the United Stales, and the average cost per mile of the heavy rock excavation work mere ranged around $(i0,000. une or ine most expensive points in Hood River county, leaving aside the Mitchell Point wi.rk. wua at what tha engineers nave termed "the gateway, where just west of Lindsay creek, a passage was blown thrnuch fnirlv unliil roun. rormeriv me rockv c ills oh. tructed the View; Hut nirifa tha maA has been opened, a large slice has been taken out of the unraH aiHp unrl nna is enabled to see for a long distance up me Miiurnoia, and thus the name.

The trees just this side of the Multno mah COUntv line, thn hr trunlia tinmen show the etrecta of the moving earth. At Shell Rock the initial work on me i,oiumrjia highway was done in 11)12. when ex-Covernor West a fund of $10,000 having been donated by S. Benson, detailed a nartv of hnnnr nun to construct the highway around the dillicult point. The work of the con victs for the most nart has been ahnn. doned. The retaining walls constructed bv these unskilled men in manv puaoa have already fallen. The dry masonry of the new work is entiilpv nf HitFur. ent construction and will stand the on slaughts of the winter s storms. ; i tie fciandifer-Uarkson Co., with Frank Wilson in charge, now has a crew of 84 men at work at Mitchell Point, and the work will he nractioullv completed by August 1. "We may not have everything smoothed up by that time," says Mr. Wilson, "but we will be able to allow machines to pass through." 'The entire hiohwav will ho foirlu pasasble by this date." savs J. A. Klli. utt, state engineer in charge of the work. "Numbers of nprxnnH whi hiua recently gone over the scenes of con struction have advanced opinions that no motor cars could very well travel the rough surface this vear. Hnuiouor the road to them probably looked like nouse iusi oetore the carpenters left it. it no doubt spemeri nrottv hnnlu mussed up, but the clearing away pro cess will make a change in atmear- ances." W. T. Eddy, of Hood River, has heen continuously on the Mitchell Point work, havina been transit mun fnr the state engineering crew. flood Kiver people are anxious v awaitins the date when tha orout scenic boulevard will be an actual re ality, and when the scores of long ooked for automobiles will begin to pass through the orchard districts. Scores visit the Mitchell Point work, and invariably thev return a hundred fold more enthusiastic than before the journey. J he expressions of gratitude for the nhilanthrouv of S. Benson are un bounded, and discussions are often par ticipated in as to what may be done to evidence most this respect and honor fur the dean of good roads enthusiasts. A suggestion has been made bv E. L. Smith, one of Hood River's most dis tinguished and beloved citizens and for many years a close friend of Mr. Ben son, that has received much commen dation. Mr. Smith proposes that the Hood River portion of the hiehwav be officially known as the Benson section of the Columbia highway, and that ap propriate testimonial tab eta be nlaced along the route.
