Thompson, who was here Saturday on business. He predicts that the district will ship 100 cars of tuners, 40 cars more than were rolled from there last season. "The acreage of this year is in creased," says Mr. Thompson, "and growers have given their crops the best of care. Of course it is too early to give definite data on how the crop will mature, but all indications now point to tubers of perfect quality. One of the largest tracts of the district, 3f acres, hus been planted by Timothy Newell. Orrin Whitloek, who cleared new ground for the tubers, has 20 acres planted to potatoes." Mr. Thompson also declares that the Upper Valley hay tonnage will be bet ter than usual this year. Weather conditions have been perfict for curing the hay. He states that he has baled 2o tons from his first and second cut tings of alfalfa. He has stored six tons loose for feeding from his cow barns The third crop of alfalfa will be harvested next month. Bull Leads to Moonshine Over-indulgence of a hull in the con tents of ,i mash barrel, according to stories of orchardists of the Undtt wood district, led to the discovery by officers of two stills near Stevenson. The bull, attracting attention by his drunken stagger and his bellowed maundcrir.Lrs, evidently was pleased with the ctFects of the moonshine mak ings. Otficers followed him as he pur sued an erratic course through the undebriish. The goal of the bovine toper was a barrel, half full of fer menting mash. In a hidden cabin, about loi yards away, w as discovt red the still. The Skamania county sher iff, it is stated, is holding the property at the county jail. He states, how ever, that he expects no owner U call and lav i laims to the distillers and other apparatus. Forest Fires Arc Out Forest fires that menaced orchard places in the Upper Valley and heavy green timiier just opposite here on the Washington side of the Columbia were under COmptstS control Saturday. The Washington fire, which ran for three days through underbrush and firs along the goree, apparently burned itself out. Upper Vallev orchirdista Saturday said tfiMt forestry clovers who directed the fight on the lire there had with drawn, leaving only a few men to watch burning snas. The latter fire was the most serious of this district for the M-ason and for a time threat ened orchard homes on the west side of the 1 pper Valley. "The rapid w hich we have just passed is the last of all the descents of the Col umbia. Ah we descended we reached a creek under a bluff on the left: in the meadow to the right and at some dis tance from the hills stands a perpendic ular sock about 800 feet high and 400 yards around the base. This we called lieacon rock. Just below is an Indian village of nine bouses, situated between two small creeks." Lewis and Clark's Journal, Saturday, November 2, 1806. Such were the impressions of the first Americans, so far as records show, to look upon the giant monolith which stands like a sentinel on the Washington bank of the river at the center of the Columbia gorge. A century and 15 years in audition have passed since Lewis and Clark's liltlu band of ex plorers, on the journey overland to tin mouth of the Columbia, viewed many of the scenic wonders of the Columbia and named not u few of then), including 15ea con rock. Today the same rock, which a century ago was a far outpost of strange land, inhabited only by hostile bands of Ind ians, is one of tue most interesting scenic points which it is possible to visit in a one-day motor trip from Portlond. The rock is but little changed and is still the scenic wonder which caught the eyes of Lewis and Clark. A railroad has laid its track past the base of the rock, at the edge of the river; a high way has cut its way through the foreet behind the rock, and a trail has con quered its sheer walls clear to the top. Beacon rock, which may be justly called the most interesting feature of the Washington side of the Coltimbia gorge, has been made easily availble to the motorist, although all the natural fea tures of the mass oft-tone audits im mediate surroundings hwve been pre served. To reach Beacon rock the motorists may make the run through Vancouver out the North bank highway through Camas ami eastward to the rock or may take the Columbia River highway to Cascade Locks, ferry across the river to Stevenson and make the short run westward to the rock. Either route is delightful at this season, dry weather having put the North Bank route in excellent shape. In the trip with the Unities the writer and .Mr. Stevens enjoyed the delights of both routes by making the trip to the rock over the North Bank road, stopping for several hours at the rock and vicinity and then returning home through Ste venson and over the Columbia River highway pavement. This is probably the most enjoyable w ay to make the trip. The North Bank route goes east from Vancouver to Washougal, then up the Washougal ri ver for some miles, to get around the barriers of Cape Horn" then turns back to the river and follows the river bank up to Beacon rock. The road is in good shape, paved to Camas and graveled most of the way beyond. There are a few miles of dirt road, bumpy, but not offering any difficulty except alter a severe rain. The highway runs immediatly behind Beacon rock, and offers a splendid view of it for many miles both from the west and east. The excellent trail which was completed about three years ago to the top of tho rock by II. J. Biddle, the owner, starts right at the edge of tne highway and is loiind without difficulty. A road, also built by Mr. Biddle, runs northward from the main highway for 200 feet to a beautiful grove of trees and a spring of cold, clear water. This is known ar Waiiclella park, and offers an excellent luncheon or camping spot for the motorist. Beacon rock has never been acurately measured, but has been estimated by the United States Geological surrey as hot.) feet in height, r-ur perhaps half that distance the rock is nearly sheer on very side, and for the last half the iiitli and west sides slope backward to a point which lorms the summit. 1 he east ami north sides are perpendicular for nearly 000 feet, it is estimated. The road behind the rock is appioxamatelv 2 iO teet above the river, thus leaving a li-tance of tiOO feet lrom the road, w here the trail begins, to the top of tb rock. As a result of the keen interest in the rock displayed by Mr. Biddle who has a beautiful homes a few miles north of Vancouver On the Columbia rifer bank ihd who purchased the rock in 1916. the trail to the top was begun in OctoU-r, 1915, and completed in April, 1"18. It is, prohahly witbOUl exception, the finest trail in (he Columbia gorge terri tory, it is .8.) Ol a mile long, tout teet wide throughout and has a maximum grade of 15 per cent. The sides are well protected by concrete walls and iron railings and no one, man nor woin- in, old or young, so long as they pos sesses a lairly le.-l head, need tear making the accent. In many places it was necessary to arve the trail along the side of the sheer rock wall. Bridges, some ol them Rver hanging are numerous, ami at ti e I mt w here the trail ciiinbs the "chim ney OS) the south side it was necessary 1 to make :t2 sw itchbacks. There are in ill M turns ot the trail in its length of M of a mile. While the ruck and its surroundings are not puhlic property thev may be considered as oixui to the enj. inent of the public, through the kindness of Mr. I liicldlc. who is desirous that this un usual scenic feat ure U' enjoyed by as1 IM.lliN people us possible. The pule n i i n v ittil to visit the rock or the picnic amp at any time and the only restric- ! t ions are those regarding defacing the, trail, pu king the I ts, starting lire-' and otherwise injuring thv natural beauty of the place, which govern in anv l" park.

This was the only casualty of any kind, On May LB. 1919, the trail wsr Rufficient ly completed to allow Mr. Biddle and the workmen to get to the tqp and an American Sag was run up. In April, 1918, the work was complete).' and the trail opened to the use of the public. The rock had been first climbed nearly 20 years ago as a stunt in connection with the old "Regulator" line of steam boats, but the ascent was impractical for any but steeple jacks, mosquitoes and the like. Be COB rock is a starting point fnr many excursions of interest on that side of the Columbia. In addition to the road to beautiful Wahclella park, Mr. Biddle built a trail for public use to tho top of Hamilton mountain, north of the rock, from which an unusually beautiful view of the Colombia river gorge may be obtained. A wagon road roes towards the mountain from Wahclella park for .4 of a mile and the trail con tinues for 3.1 miles to the summit. This trail is also an excellent one, with not as wide as the Beacon rock. The name Waiiclella, by which both the camping park and the station on the North Bank railroad close to Beacon rock ate know a, is of Indian origin, it is interesting to note, ami was taken by Mr. Biddle from Lewis and Clark's jonrnal. On the return np the fiver in the spring of 1800 the exploring ex position stopped, according to an entree In the Journal, at a village of the Wah clella, a mile below Beacon rock, be tween tWO creeks. The present rail road station of Wahclella is located at almost the exact point, it is believed, where Ix'wis and Clark's exposition topped at that time.' Although the giant rock was origin ally mimed' Beacon rock by Lewis arid Clark, the name was lost in obscurity and then was known as Cast'e rock-. No doubt some still know it by that Dame. However about a half dozen years ago the original name was revived iind the original name adopted by the United States government board of geo-. graphic nanMR. Since that time the old Lewis and Clark name of Beacon rock has become universally recognized. "HELIOTROPE" A gift of flowers from her husband ! And their per fume froze her soul !

Yet he never lifted a hand against her. His victory was far more terrible far more noble than that.
