Such HOOD RIVER CEL EBRATES 1925 LUNCH CLUB GIVES RECOGNITION for Spur Road from Loop High way to Snowline A meeting held in Portland last week for promoting the development of scenic Mount Hood was attended by the following local men : Leslie But ler, E. 0 Blanchar. Homer A. Kogers and C. A. Hell. The original session resulted in the organization of the Mount Hood Deveopnient Association. Mr. Hutler was named chairman and Sidney H. Vincent, secretary. The following are members of the board of direetors: H. B. Van Duzer, W. J. Hofman, Eric V. Mauser, W. C. Culbertson, Phil Metschan, Henry J. Ottenheimer, Cameron Squires, George Lawrence, Jr.. Fred II. Riser and Ixiuis A. McArthur. It was decided that the first activity would be the development of the scenic attractions of Mount Hood and a sub committee was appointe l to take care of the work. This committee is com posed of Harry Joyce, L. R. Wheeler, Rufus C. Holman, Thomas Shorrard, and E. O. Hlanchar. It is planned to have, the new organ ization work in conjunction with the state tourist and information bureau. 1 he preliminary discussion dealt with the advisability of creating a nations park of the Mt. Hood district, and ar guments were advanced by the mem bers of the committee and representa tives of the forestry department, Geo. H. Cecil, T. H. Sherrard and ('. J. Buck. It was pointed out that any effective development of Mt. Hood from a tour ist standpoint depends first upon the construction of spur roads which will connect Mt. Hood loop with the more scenic points of the mountain. In this connection it was shown by the forest officials that the forest depart ment had already made liberal pro posals for the building of a spur road to Lost lake and to Elk meadows con necting with the Loop highway, but that nothing had thus far been done to connect the Loop highway with the ac tual snow line of the mountain on the north side. It was brought out by the discussion that the advantages of a national nark consisted In the more intensive public ity which the national park would pro vide and in the exclusive privileges of transportation and tourist accommoda tion, which could only be granted un der the auspices of the national park system. These privileges, it was pointed out, were almost essential to the practical attraction of private cap ital in the exploitation of a tourist re sort, which would necessarily involve considerable financial hazard. Com parisons were drawn with the success ful developments of Mt. Rainier Na tional park under private management Mayor Maker argued that the at proach to the snow line of Mt. Hood must be made more attractive if this mountain were to compete with Mt Rainier in attracting tourists. W. J. Hofmann finally proposed that the chairman of the meeting appoint a committee representative of the van ous agencies which dealt with tourist and highway development to consult with the State Tourist association in the exploitation of Mt. Hood along with other scenic resorts. This motion was made more specific bv an amend ment by Mayor Haker and J. H. Joyce to the effect that the chairman of the meeting should appoint a Mt. Hood development committee whose prime object should be the intensive develop ment of Mt. Mood as a tourist attrac tion. It was also moved that a subsidia committee ne appointed to agree upon a definite name and plan of action for the development committee. Adjutant General George A. White showed that the highway from Port land to Hood River on the lower ap proach to Mt. Hood is far superior to any part ot the highway to Kainier National park. 1 came here wondering what this meeting was all about," said A. J Hale of the Rotary club, and doubt ful whether the conference would get anywhere, but the definite proposals of this meeting is the most constructive step I have seen taken toward a very necessary development. SEELEY BEGINS WORK ON BOOTH HILL Following an inspection of the line by W. A. Ijjngille, county right of way agent, and C C. Seelev, resident en gineer of the State Highway Depart ment, the latter Thunday started crews to work cross-sectioning the 4. '2 miles of the Booth Hill unit of the va ley trunk of the Mount Hood I.... p Highway. The State Highway Com mission is scheduled to award a con tract for Booth Hill work the latter part of this month. The county hat anveruseu lor unconuit lonal Puis on $U0kMQ part of a UMlOOO bond issue voted in June. Mr. Langille says work on the Booth grade will be under way early in Sep tember. It is expected that the new section of road, connecting the Upper and Lower valleys will te cut before winter begins. HOOD DISTURBANCE OF LOCAL INTEREST The internal disturbances on the south side of Mount Hood have created no small interest locally. While Hood River folk at first were prone to scout the stories, oldtime mountaineers say they believe the eruption was caused as the result of an accumulation of melted snow and ice water coming in contact with the hot depths of the old crater. They point out that for a week before the mass of .earth .and stones were vomited from the south side of the mountain, the weather was extremely hot. It is presumed that the high temperature caused vast Quantities of water to pour into crev ices and seep into the hot subterranean chambers. "That the depths of the crater of Mount Ffoud are extremely hot is well disturbances as that noted the first of last week Delow Crater Rock are nothing new in the experience of mountaineers. They have been of fre quent occurrence, although not often on the huge scale of that of the other dav. Prof. Salsbury, head of the depart ment of geology at the University of ( hicago, was recently here touring the valley. He declared that stories indi cating that Cascade mountains were displaying activity from renewed heat within their surface were unfounded. I'rof. Salsbury declared that a constant cooling process was in progress in all of the mountains." The following, concerning the so called eruption, appeared in the Ore gonian of last Thursday morning: What this force is, whether an erup tion within the mountain or hydraulic pressure caused by accumulated snow water in a pocket, is not known. The two guides who first arrived on the scene declared the mud was warm when they examined it. Wednesday when L. F. Pridemore and two mem bers of the Mazama club went to the scene they found the mud a cold mass. Mr 1'ridernore, who manages the hotel at Govern ment Camp, within sight of Crater Rock, declared he had his own opinion as to the cause of the river of inude, hut declined to make it public. He considered it a problem for scien tists to tackle. The two Mazamas, on the other hand, hold that the outburst was noth ing more than the result of water be ing impounded beneath the bottom of the ice peak and the surface of the mountain. Testimony of all witnesses agree on one point, and that is that some great (lower was exerted which ripped open the ice cap and shoved shattered mass es of ice around as though they were so many paper-weights. The force, exerted from beneath, rent the age old ice into blocks 7.r feet across and five yards thick. When a vent had been made by shoving the ice aside, the sand and mud flowed out and rolled down the aide of the mountain over the snow fields. According to Bovd Williams, presi dent of the Mazamas. who inspected the How yesterday with T. R. Conway, the stream of water, mud and volcanic ash was due to melting snow and was not an eruption. Mr. Williams said that while he had seen similar out pourings on Mount Hood, this was the largest stream he hail investigated. The theory of Mr. Williams is that warm temperatures caused the snow to melt; the water formed in a pocket or pit until the pressure became so great that it broke through an icecap 15 feet thick, causing the river of n.ud. The temperature responsible for the melt ing of snow was not from within the mountain, in the opinion of Mr. Wil I jams. No trace of steam or heat was no ticed by the Mazama president, and the snow along the edge of the flow carried no indications of heat. Snow was even found on some of the mud Whatever the origin, Mr. Williams de clared the How was a most interesting sight, and its extent and the pressure bdlnnd it were indicated by huge blocks of ice 7.r feet square and 15 feet thick, broken off at the iioint where th stream of mud emerged from below. The mud and water burst out about 600 feet from Castle Crags and llowed near Illumination Kock. Billy Sunday Replies to Mrs. Gratke at Columbia (Jorge Hotel -Valley De clared Straining at the Bit "Portland body up to SUNDAY FLAYS DRESS OF MODERN GIRLS Asbury Metliodist'church was crowd ed to overflowing Sunday with his neighbors of the valley anil city folk when Rev. William A. Sunday stepped to the pulpit. Automobiles lined the street in hundreds on both sides of the church. License tags showed some of the worshippers to have come from distant states, word of Mr. Sunday's sermon having reached the city auto camp park. Is it well with thee? was Mr. Sunday's text, and he answered his uiestion bv declaring a vehement. "Nay," unless the man or woman ad- Iressed confessed himself as aligned with the religion of Jesus Christ Anv man or woman," declared Mr. Sunday, 'who professes not to live a Christianf life is a fool." While the noted evangelist does not possess the lowers or voice that once were his, his magnetism and eloquence are in no wise in dimmed, and his lug audience alternate! wept and laughed. and when he asked, at the close of the sermon if any wished prayers in their behalf, hand- u . raised bv the genres over the home Mr. Sunday denounced the efforts of individuals and organizations over the land in th ir protests against the pro hibition constitutional amendment. He characterized the recent New York parade i ; protest as an expres sion ot tyranny against majority rule and declared that i very member of the arade should he !ehind prison bars. The greatest not -troeity in the eyes of (od, declared Mr. Sunday, in an appeal to parents to teach reverence to their hildren, is i nether whose lips never teach a prayer to ' her tones.

Af ption of the modern oman he declared : doesn't need to send any Hood River to arouse en thusiasm for the 125 exposition," de clared Rev. Hilly Sunday, who Tuesday represented local folk in a response to Mrs. John E. Gratke, whose husband is assistant to Chairman Julius L. Meier, of the exposition committee, and who delivered an address on behalf of the fair directorate at this community's formal celebration of the signing by President Harding of the joint congres sional resolution authorizing invitation of foreign national participation. "These Hood Riverites, " continued Mr. Sunday, who warmed to his sub ject with a vim superior to the usual Sunday vivacity, are already straining at the bit. You'll find them ready and willing to put the great fair over with a rush. I like the enthusiasm of these Oregon people in the promotion of their enterprises. Enthusiasm fills a cause with rich, red blood instead of pink tea. "You can count on me to tell the story of Oregon. 1 do not have to ask Cod for a special dispensation, either, when I get ready to talk about her glories. Portland in 1S126 will attract people from all over the country. It will be a huge magnet. And then Mr. Sunday proceeded to preach a short sermon. He declared the great fSr would be of national benefit, not only in that it would dis play Oregon scenery and her splendid highway, hut that it would demonstrate to much of the country what kind of citizens inhabit this western land, where real religion exists. A lot of inhabi tants of the country, Mr. Sunday de clared, need to be herded down to God's bathtub and have the hose turned on. "What's the name of that hotel in New York, Ma." and Mr. Sunday turned to his helpmeet sitting by. "Well, it don't make any difference. We were there not long ago getting ready to start across the continent, when one of those lounge lizards took a squint and rustled up enough energy to ask us where we were going, and I told him Indiana, and then ont to Hood River, Oregon. 'Just to think of any one going west of Indiana,' 1 heard him mut ter," and Mr. Sunday imitated the speaker. "We want to show the world what kind of people live out here in the West. " "1 am making preparations to have all the houses on mv place painted white and the roofs red, just to let them know that we are ready." "Ma" Sunday, too, gave a talk. She declared that only that day she had written three letters to friends in as many different states and that she was booming the l!)li.r fair. "We are building new sleeping shacks on our hill," Mrs. Sunday declared, "and are getting ready to take care of the many friends we expect to visit us. We are planting fruit trees, hop ing they will be ready, and our hen houses are being enlarged, for we are going to be prepared for that big fair." Mrs. Gratke urged local folk to learn more of the romance of the history and legends of their points of scenery and to send the stories broadcast over the land. She digressed to nay a tribute to S. Benson, builder of the Columbia Gorge Hotel, where the celebration was held under auspices of the Tuesday Lunch Club, for his philanthropy and spirit of pioneering in highway con struction. By the time the big fair is ready for opening day, Mrs. Oratke said, three paved highwavs will cross the conti nent from New York City to Oregon. J. W. Crites, president of the Lunch Club, presided at the meeting. Governor Oicott issued the following proclamation : The signing of the joint resolution by President Harding thut was recent ly passed by Congress giving the State of Oregon national recognitit n to hold world's exposition in 1925 should be the signal for a state-wide demonstra tion in recognition of the opportunity afforded to present their resources. scenic advantages and the civilization west of of the Rockies to all the world. "Oregon has occasion to rejoice to its fullest for the opportunity to stage the first great peace-living and industrial exposition since the close of the war. wherein the nations of the world will be our guests. 1 herefore, as Governor of the State of Oregon, I ask the people to lay their cares aside for the hour and join in bowing their acknowledgements to this wonderful opportunity by participating with the great mctroolis of the state in their v irions communities in holding i-eli ration in keeping with the sign ificance of the occasion.
