FOREST FIRE IS
NARROWLY AVERTED
easy terms
Speculation is rife ss to whether the
past week’s record rain would have
occurred If a, fire, set Tuesday of last
week by James Sloan had gained head
way and spread over the Herman
creek watershed. Sloan, said to have
been a tramp, built a Are in an accum
ulation of flr and pine needles, and
soon a heavy arnoke was pouring up
lieside the Columbia River Highway
near Wyeth. 1‘aaalng motorista re
ported it to Chief Hanger Wheeler,
who with Albert Welsendanger and
Supervisor Stanley C. Walters, was
holding a achool for Are guarda at the
Herman creek station. The men re
sponded at once. They found Sloan
Bitting Idly by, making no move to put
out the Are.
Indeed, the man, when ordered by
the forest officials to extinguish the
Are, piled it up with the dry debris,
only making it wortie, and it was nec
essary to bring In a' Aeld hose cart and
put it out. The flames would soon
have reached a dead snag, and wind
would undoubtedly have carried the
Are across the Highway. The stage
was all set for a repitltion of the dis
astrous Herman creek Are of a year
ago.
The fvreain official« tough t Sloan
here, where Justice of the Peace Oa-
thank sentenced him to 30 days in jail
and asM-ssed a fine of |50. Sloan was
to stand committed until the line was
paid.

“We weae much gratified to note
that the naar bridge project between
Hood River and White Salmon had al
ready been financed and that work
would start the latter part of thia
month. Naturally we are greatly in
terested te the success of the enter
prise; because it will tie an Important
link in the new Mt Adams Highway.”
Mr. Hoots aceomiMinied hi« letter
with the following clipping from the
Yakima Herald:
Glenwood rood booHtera have ■ crew
doing rush work on the completion of
the section of the Mount Adams high
way leading to the Big Muddy river
crossing, according to information that
reached Yakima yesterday. W. T. Van
Decar, who is keeplug in close touch
with the situation, wild he thinks it
wlU be the lint ¿f August before the
road la open fur travel. The Glenwood
people are completing the road to the
Big Muddy and are constructing the
bridge across that stream.
Yakima has contributed funds for
constructing the grade down Suryey-
ora creek to the Klickitat river, the
bridge across that stream at Soda
Springs ford, and the grade from that
point to the Big Muddy crossing. All
work is completed but the «•onatruction
of the approach to the Big Muddy
bridge. Here there in about 300 feet
of heavy rock work to tie done before
It will be poaaible to crons the stream.
When the county couiiulaalonera
went over the highway a few weeks
ago to Inspect conditions, they found
the road from the Klickitat bridge to
the Big Muddy impassable. They were
obliged to leave their cars and walk
several miles before they reached the
section where the Improvement la to
be made. No work lias been done yet
and it la estimated there will be three
weeks’ work for a good crew before
the Yakima section is open for travel.
Mr. Van Decar estimates the Glen-
wood people have an equal amount to
do before the road Is open for travel
on that end.
Glenwood letters state that they are
fitting up an auto park for the com
fort Of tourists. A Committee of Com

it comes from tbs melt Ing glacier« only

Combination of Elegance and Utility
Into the Studebaker Big-Six fivn-possenger Coupe have gone, without
compromise, the finest design, materials, workmanship and the best of
Studebaker’s 71 years* experience.
Nothing has been left undone to make this big, roomy coupe as fine an
enclosed car as can be built.
Certainly no car performs more brilliantly or is more reliable. None
possesses greater beauty or is move luxuriously comfortable. None is more
enjoyable to drive—and no other make of car is more completely equipped.
You will appreciate the generous roominess of this Big-Six Coupe, its
sterling quality of body and chassis and its wealth of refinements—includ
ing the large trunk; extra disc wheel complete with tire, tube and tire
cover; handsome nickel-plated bumpers front and rear; courtesy light;
motometer; flower vase; dock; aluminum-bound running boards with
corrugated rubber mats and step Pfids; rear-view mirror, automatic wind
shield cleaner, glare-proof visor, and many others.
Its low price is due to large volume and to the fact that Studebaker
overhead is shared by three models—all sixes. Then, too, only one
manufacturing profit is included in the Rig-Six price because all vital parts
are manufactured in Studebaker plants.
Studebaker has. been building quality vehicles for more than two
generations.

With the new forestry service high
way now open to ths shores of the
highland body of water, Lost Lake is
becoming the magnet for hundn-ds of
motor parties. Hood River folk enter
tain visitors with a trip through the
heavily forested area on the lake
branch and lipper Wfit Fork of Hood
river. .The Lost Lake Highway, pen
trating this heavy timber for four
miles, is one of the most enticing
drives in this section.
The reins of last week, clearing the
atmosphere, made conditions for view
ing Mount Hood across Lost Lake
ideaL With a calm prevailing Bunday,
the lake mirrored the mountain, which
seemed to tower directly over the
southeast end of the pools. The re
flections of the snowfields and glacial
ersgs were as distinct as the mountain
itself.
An estimated 300 visited Lost Lake
July Fourth, and the streams of the
vicinity were whipped by many an
glers. The Ashing season, however, it
is said, is a little easiy, and no excep
tional catches have as yet been re
ported.
