SYDNEY STRONG, a nationally known speaker who is on a tour of the Northwest An inspiring and convincing talker. * « Thia meeting is la held under the auspices of the LA FOLLUrTE—CAMPAIGN COM. of Oregon. 1 Although In the course of the day's motor jaunt of IftQ tnllea they encoun- tered snow» and wintry gusts that characterize mid-winter on the lower level«, u caravan of local folk, who Wednesday, October 9, made the first pilgrimage from here around Mount Hood over the new IsMip highway, returned home delighted and breath ing new laudatlous of th«* great scenic thoroughfare. Without exception ev ery man anil woman declared that in lH2fi the Mount Hood lx«q> highway "Hi lie the season’s sensation for motorists among home folks and those who are lyred from other states to glimpse the charm of Or<*gon's tiHiun- I fl Ina. forests and rivers and taste the delights of lier summertime cli mate. The recent journey of Hood River folk, who traveb-d in four «tire and formed the first caravan to tour the newly opened road from here, was built atKiut the desire of Rev. Troy Hlieliey, pioneer valley mlulster, wlu> in 1WH. was carried down Ixiurel hill by his mother. Ills father was busy at the time, negotiating the almoeV'imiHiNuible hillside with the wagon and ox -team. Ho steep was the grade tlutt it was necessary to tie „trees la*hin<l Uie wagon, their drag iirting as a brake. Mr. Hhelley lias long b«*«n interested In th«* new I snip highway. Before it was com pleted be drove by way of The Dalles and Wapanltia several years ago lu his buggy, In order that lie might ins|M-ct the old route. He found the Immigrant trail overgrown, lait after a half* century of time the marks left by the wheels of the l>rnlrle schooners and Hits cut into the hillside by the tree brakes stni remained. Mr. Shelley, who lacks a few months of reaching SO years, is like Ezra Meeker In his seal to have the old Oregou trail and -Barlow route jiroperly marked. It Is his wish that those who travel today in magnifi cent. high-powered motor i-ars may see how the pioneers to Oregon ac- cuiiipllalied tiu* almost iinjKissibie with the clumsy vehicles of their day. Mr. Hlieliey traveled In tlie pilot <ir of the caravan, an Oakland tour ing car, driven by J. F. Volstorff. In digressing It may be said that the Oakland performed marvelously. Mr. Volstorff demonstrated^ the efficiency of the fourwheel brake«. Although the road at the higher altitudes was covered with a skim of snow, be' was able to bring it to instant dabte inataut coutrul cuulrul on ou No. 20 Htarted a month earlier than other wise next spring. The United States Forestry Service and the Bureau of Public Roads have I m * cu bimy the past summer in mak ing ready the Loop highway for tour ist traffic next summer. All along tlie route the motorist today notes convenient parking places. ____ Forest vistas are .provided with Inviting cunqialtea. The Loop highway will make the Mount Hood National for est known to motor tourists of the entire United States in another year’s time. White the greater number of motorists will travel out to glimpse the snowfields and glaciers of Hood In their varying a«pects, as glimpsed from the turns of the ai-enlc loop, others will linger there in the wood land camps. Ind«M*d. one can profit ably spend <i week on a leisurely tour of th«* Ix«ip highway. , Drinking fountains liaSre been in- Hta)l«*d at intervals oh the high way. One of the moat appealing of them* stands on the west I miik of Hood river at Hahale falls, En route, too, monuments ar«> lieing constructed to Instruct tlie traveler of the historic «Igiiifieance ofi The fam«Mi old Immi grant trail.
