C. E. Warner, a member of the Port
land Y. M. C. A. Ski club, who was in
the valley week before last, points out
in an article in Sunday's ;Oregonian
some fun that the party had here.
"We were comfortably ensconced
and getting ready for bed, when the
noise of coasting attracted us, and
about nine of us climbed the hill some
three-qurters of a mile, finding a bob
sled.owner whose women guests of the
evening had just left and who was glad
to have the ballast of our combined
weight.
"About a ton of us got onto his sled
and the way we took that combination
of hills and street corners would have
opened your eyes. There were four
corners to turn and our weight gave
us a speed of some 25 miles or so an
hour. We rounded the last turn with
the inside runners in the air, the first
time. After that we leaned harder,
but we got plenty of thrill at that."
Mr. Warner says that no man in Ore
gon is more experienced in the hand
ling of skiis than Mark Weygandt. the
guide for the Portland Snowshoe club
recently. He praises Mr. and Mrs. C.
A. Bell for the comforts provided by
them for the members of the recent
outing party.

ness and loyalty to family and unseen,
underlying principles of business."

districts, wbo have pledged themselves
to ship their fruit through one definite
channel, "produced a totsl of from

ROAD MAY BE
PUSHED TO EAST
The state highway commisison last
week passed a resolution to expend
$90,000 on the Columbia hiehwav be
tween Hood River and Mosier, provided
Wasco couny issues bonds to build the
highway between The Dalles and Mos
ier. A delegation from Wasco county
appeared before the commission and
also asked that the county be permit
ted to build its link of the Columbia
highway over Seven Mile hill, instead
of along the river. This last request
was also granted. It was made plain
that if the link between Hood River
and Mosier costs more than $90,000,
Hood River and Wasco counties must
make up the balance.
Tbe commission reiterated its con
tention embodied in a resoltuion a few
weeka ago that counties must maintain
highway constructed by state aid. En
gineer Lewis was instructed to write a
Hood River county grange tbat had
forwarded some resolutions complain
ing against having counties maintain
the roads, and make it plain tbat the
highway commission had never at any
time pledged itself to maintain roads
constructed with state aid.
