DOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 8; 1916
REASONS FOR YAKIMA
HOOD RIVER ROAD
(By C C. Hatching, secretary of White
Salmon Commercial Club, in the Ore
goman) TboM who conceived, formulated the
intricate details of financing and con
struction and gave to the world the (Co
lumbia river biahwav orobablr-did not
at tbe time realise the full scope of its
ultimate usefulness. It might be lik
ened to a greet railway system; the
main line is first constructed, connect
ing two or more important centers of
industry : then feeders or lateral are
run out. that a lareer community may
be served and eniov tbe benefits to be
derived from connections offered by the
erest railway system.
With our Columbia highway, the
main line construction has been com
menced. ' It gradually will be extended
east until it ties in witb and necomes a
oart of a national ocean-to-ocean high
wav. A most important feeder, the
hinhwava of the Hood River valley di"
trict. now provides heavy traffic to and
from Portland and other coast points.
Their dream of many years has at last
come true.
Directly across the Columbia river
from Hood River lies White Salmon,
the estewav to the scenic White Sal
mon valley, another established feeder
to the Columbia river highway. North
of this district, and sepsrated by but a
few miles, is the extensive Yakima
vallev. rich in its oroducts of aericul
ture. horticulture and livestock. This
vslley is a part of tbe Columbia river
basin.
It is toDoerraDbically and legitimately
tributary to Portland, and its people
are enthusiastiCsupportcrs of the pro
posed Yakima-Columbia highway prop
osition, which will give them a direct
connection witb the Columbia river
hiehwav and Portland. At present it
is necessary for them to travel some 75
miles farther, a considerable part of
the route through a desolate ssge
brush country, providing no accommo
dations for man or car. Its roads.
through the months when peak , travel
Is on, are almost impassable on account
of heavy hauling, deep laden with at
kali dust, and country void of scenic
attractions or opportunties for the
lover of camp and fishing. From point
of snowfall there is but little ditfernce
between the proposed highway route
and the present one;tbe highway would
be in One condition by the time the
season's travel commenced.
A glance at the map drawn from the
latest sovernment production and all
towns accurately located will show tbe
proposed route from North Yakima to
the Columbia river via White swan.
Glenwood and White Salmon to be in
practically an air line. Distance trav
ened, North Yakima to Glenwood, ap
proximately 65 miles, or 100 mhes to
the Columbia river highway via the
Hood River-White Salmon auto ferry;
165 miles from Portland to North Yak
ima, furnishing a comfortable one day
run, with good resorts, hotels and gar
ages en route. This link will form a
cutoff connection with tbe system of
northern Washington state highways
to Seattle, Spokane and the east, and
travesing one of the most scenic, varied
and interesting stretches in the world.
Leaving White Salmon, there is a
choice of three charming routes to
Glenwood: First, via Husum, situated
directly on the White Salmon river
eight miles up, with good hotel, to
Trout Lake, where is located the fa
mous fishing resort, with good hotels
and camping equipments then over tbe
summit on good road to Glenwood,
which is situated at the foot of the
agricultural Camas Prairie valley, and
where good hotel, garage and genera)
stores will be found.
Second, via Husum and Gilmer. This
route, somewhat shorter, runs through
the beautifully set Gilmer valley and
the entire length of the Camas Prairie
valley, over good roads, which for sev
eral miles run through the big fir tim
ber. Third route is via Snowden and
the Camas Prairie valley. This is the
shortest route and affords wonderful
panoramic views, as from time to time
it emerges from the heavy timber. A
most interesting side trip from Trout
Lake may be made to tbe celebrated
ice and lava caves, and from Glenwood
over tbe new snow line road nearly to
the base and Bnow line of Mount Adams
12.307 feet high.
Continuing the tour, four miles from
Glenwood tbe rushing Kilckitat river
is crossed. At this point is an ideal
spot for an overnight or longer camp.
as the river provides splendid fishing
with plenty ol big ones, the hne ex
amples of basalt rock formation along
its bluffs are of interest. Leaving the
river it crosses the Yakima Indian res
ervation, much of the distance through
a park of big pines witb ever changing
view points of Mount Adams. Passing
close to ort Aimcoe and White Swan
via Wapsto comes North Yakima,
where is found one of the cleanest and
best paved cities in tbe Northwest.
That this highway will be toured by
thousands of tourists every season, and
bring many to the Columbia river
highway and Portland who otherwise
would not visit this section, is certain,
but of greater benefit will be tbe op
portunity provided our own people for
frequent personal interchange of com
mercial visits, and knowledge of the
many delightful scenic spots our own
Northwest offers to the lover of nature.
During the open season it is now
customary for the northwestern com
mercial traveler to tour his district by
auto, enabling him to make several
towns a day instead of but one or two
when train service is depended upon.
1 he merchant, banker or professional
man can combine a pleassnt outing
with a personal call on his customers,
thus creating good feeling all around
and gathering first hand information
for future use in extending his busi
ness. The foothills and lower slopes of
Mount Adams, in the United States
forest reserve, are leased for grasing
purposes. The season of 1915 saw 90.
000 head of sheep on this range. A
number of camps are established and
supplies for many of them now have to
be packed in for many miles. Tbe
construction of this highway will be
of great benefit to this industry, not
alone from the supply end, but getting
in and out their stock. An increased
lease revenue would doubtless result
and the sheepmen are ready to do their
part financially to aid its construction.
, In case ofj a coast invasion and sub
stantial foothold gained, one of tbe
first steps probably taken would be the
crippling of our transcontinental rail
way lines. While in itself a most seri
ous matter, bow much more so it would
be without a comprehensive system of
standardised highways connecting our
main centers, and confined to low ele
vations, and as far as practicable, on
water grades? The construction of
this link would ensble motor driven
trucks of armament, supplies, and
troops, to be rueed through not over
the Cascades, witb two water level
highways at their service. For this
reason alone our government should,
snd doubtless will, authorise its con
struction across tha Indiaa reservation.
Tbe unconstructed portion of this
highway largely consists of some 36
milss which liee in the Yakima Inidan
reservation. This must necessarily be
sanctioned and constructed by tha gov
ernment. Tbe mstter is in tha hands
of. our representatives at Washington
and it is expected favorable action, will
be taken. Yakima county eomission-
ars hava ordered a preliminary survey
made it once. Those of Klickitat
eountv. Wins south of the. reservation,
will construct such section aa may lie
in their county.
Tbe following data was furnished the
Yakima Commercial club, bearing on
the proposed highway route across the
reservation. Mr. Marble said: "The
moat ' favorabta route is from North
Yakima to Wapato (close to Yakima),
thence south ta leppeuisn road, thence
west to White Swan. Leaving the
Toppenieh road there, tha rout is op
Toppenisb creek, and tbe divide be
tween ToDDeniah creek snd the Klicki
tat river at Parrott bridge, connecting
with tbe Klickitat road at uienwood.
Total distance from North Yakima to
Glenwood 66 miles.
"Tbe 'only grade to be made is up
TooDenish creek, where, in a distance
of six miles, an ascent of 1000 feet is
made. Road from top of the divide for
10 miles is comparatively level, bum
mit has an elevation of 2980 feet, and
in 10 miles erade drops only 100 feet.
Road is through open timber, and will
be easily constructed."
He estimates the cost for six miles
at $3000 a mile. The balance of 30
miles at $1500 a mile. Reservation
construction. 36 miles.
-A north and south link east of the
Cascades is of vital importance, and
with tbe strong support being given
tha proposition by the uregonian, iak
ima Press, Portland Chamber of Com'
merce and many other civic organise
lions, witb a continued cooperation,
the proposed highway will be con
structed.

The Fallacy of Paraf fine
Base: Eastern oil manufac
turers have long extolled
the superior virtues of paraf fine
base motor oils. But Pacific Coast
motorists have proved that Zero
lene, made from selected Califor
nia crude, asphalt-base, gave best
results. Their experience is now
supported by the testimony of in
ternational experts. Lieut. Bryan
stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval
Engineers: "Oils made from the
asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better
adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon
forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraf-fine-base
Pennsylvania oils." Zerolene received
highest competitive awards, San Francisco and San
Diego Expositions. Dealers everywhere and at service
stations and agencies of the Standard Oil Company.

Impossible To Get
Motor Car Value For
E FIND this U the attitude of many
people who come into oar salesroom
before they know anything about the
MaxwelL
Not until the Maxwell is thown and demon
strated to them until they sit in it and examine
the finish until they ride in it or perhaps not
until they drive it themselves, do they realize what
a tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car.
It is not unusual that Maxwell value should
not be known to everyone, because it is uncom
mon to find such a car for a good margin more
than the Maxwell price. ,
" The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly
competitive field, for the amount of value it offers
for the price.
Appearance The lines of ' the Maxwell are
decidedly attractive. There is no break in the
contour from the radiator to the back of the car.
The fenders are gracefully shaped. All metal
parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol
stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle
it is a car that the owner can be proud of.

The Money
Aoor The engine in the Maxwell car is not
equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its
size. And we know of larger and more expensive
cars that have less able power plants. The Max
well engine carries its load through mud and sand
or over the steepest grades without a falter.
Quality The materials in the Maxwell car
are the best that can be bought and the workman
ship that turns them into finished parts is no less
excellent It is only the large production of the
Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put
such quality of materials and workmanship into
a car selling at the Maxwell price.
Economy With its other attractive features,
the Maxwell is a most economical car to own.
Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline
and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And
the car is so durably built that repair expense is
negligible.
We are sure you want a car such as we have
described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us
a few minutes of your time we are sure we can
convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep
tional value. Come in today.
