One of ilie moat m-enic railroads in
the state of Oregon is 111 Hood Hl ver
county. It is the 17-mile logging road
of the Oregon Lumber Co., extending
17 mllea from Dee. the locution of the
company's big milk, to the headwaters
of the West “

pany is engaged in cutting the timber
from a large Mock of ri|>e trees pur­
chased from the United States forest­
ry service in 1915 and from privately
owned tracts.
The unique rail line la strictly utili­
tarian, but Occasionally parties are
given the pleasure of a journey up
from Dee to the highland logging

panse of base forests that gather the

that thrills and Umpires. taut year
more than 20,000 motorists traveled
the Lost Lake highway and developed
ecstatic speech when they lieheld the
waters of the placid hike mirroring
the white surface of Hood's snows.
The views from the logging road ar»“
far more exhilarating than any avail­
able from the motor road.
The writer last Thursday, accom­
panying Prof. L. F. Henderson and
A. I). Moe. had the pleasure of a jour­
ney over the logging road. The first
few miles pursue a gentle ascent up
East and Middle forks of Hood river.
Then by a switchback the road cliinbs
to the tableland of the Dee Flat or­
chard section, where some of the most
fertile pear and apple tracts annually
add to the valley's tonnage of fine
fruit. After the cultivated area is
left the logging road, at a level of

avalanche ot diamond dust.
When one motors through a logged
off land, a depression Is likely to steal
over him at beholding the inroads of
the giants of tlie forest. The Oregon
I.timla-r Company’s road traverses and
skirts many old logging slashings. but
the traveler aboard the train? rolling
along the higher levels, has no time
to concentrate on the logged off areas.

is coming down with its burden of
logs what might happen should the
engine and cargo leave the track. It
would be a swift dash into eternity.
At points the logging road lireaks
away from the more precipitous can­
yons and passes, through vistas of tall
young firs. Then it enters onto a hill­
side area of logged off land. Even
now. the visitor to 'the remote forests
can comprehend that It is a land of
potential beauty, for tlie rhododendron
bushes are thick amidst the stumps
and tangle of debris that was left by
the loggers. In another few weeks
these high stumplands will lie a riot of
glorious pink. Even at this early
date the nooks along the railroad
grade are enlivened l>y hundreda of
sprigs of.wild currant blooms. At one
place Prof. Henderson identified the
blooms of a fuchsia-blossomed goose­
berry. • flower of rare lieauty.
Prof. Henderson made the trip to
the lumber camp, through the courtesy
of the company, to gather specimens of
the various firs, pines, hemlock, cedar
and yew for a collection he Is prepar­
ing for the high school. Tlie journey
was donbly Interesting for him. for he
was a member of A partf which in
the early 80s of the last century ex­
plored the wilderness forest and dis­
covered Lost take. Hr was a pioneer
of the valley and in *884 he and his
wife journeyed from Loat take to the
snowline of Mount Jlood.
The summit of the lumbering rail­
road ia reached about two-thirds of
the distance from Dee to the camp.
After that it descends sharply to the
level flats along tadd. Jones and Clear
creeka. which, with other streams,
form the headwater tributaries of the
West Fork. The timber of this section
grows in hiagnificent stands, and the
lumber company is expecting a heavy
Pm. A large Mikado type logging
train operates from the mill to the
first switchback, carrying ont • long
line of empty cam from the woods.
Two round trips dally are made by th«
logging train.

tions of the logging concern are not
comprehended until one journeys to

road cost all the w-ay from $25.000 to

it may he feasible to convert it into a
motor highway. It ran be connected
with a reed through Lolo Pass and

way in Clackamas county. It Is but a

that lies between the West Fork and

magnificent loop route mav be avail­
able for motorists in days to come.
At the present time the logging camps
of the lumlier company can only be
reached hy way of the rail line.
The" journey to Dee last week was
made in Mr. Moe's automobile, The
party, after Prof. Henderson
picked up at. his West Hide homo,
toured through the West Hide and np
the middle road across the Odell
country to Dee. The air, as a result
of the late frost, hud the invigoration
of an autumn morning.
Prof. Henderson spent the -night in
the logging camp. Mr. Moe and the-
writer, on the journey down from the
camp.' found passage perched on the
locomotive cab. From thia vantage
point air was plentiful and one conld
get hn eyeful of magnificent view
every second. Indeed. It was a wonder
