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.

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.

SUNDAY FLAYS DRESS

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

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

afforded to present their resources.

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
