Newly-Completed Highway Makes It Possible *
For Motorists to Drive Around Mount Rainier
Thu la another In a aerlea or motortosa
aeaertbing journeys to int' resting areas of
the Pacific northwest prepared through
co-operation of The Oreronlan and the
Oregon 8tate Motor association. The com
plete article will appear in the Sunday
magazine of The Oregonian August 10.
8taff Writer, The Oregonian
A lithe Indian stood just in
side the circle of light cast by
the fitfully flaring campfire.
Sluiskin. for such was his name,
was speaking in the flowery
language of his fathers:
“If you go on with your fool
ish plan to climb Takhoma. if
you should escape the many
perils that surely beset your j
path, and should you reach the
great snowy dome, then a bit
terly cold and furious tempest I
will sweep you off into space |
like a withered leaf And if by |
some miracle you should sur
vive all these perils, the mighty
demon of Takhoma will surely
kill you and throw you into
the fiery lake . . .”
Advice Was Serious
Sluiskin spoke earnestly and
with awe in his voice. His audi
ence, two lean northwest pio
neers, listened gravely and
smiled. They were not to be
disuaded, and the following day.
to the eternal amazement of
the Indian, they climbed the
“Mountain That Was God” for
the first time.
All this happened almost 71
years ago—it was August 17,
1870, that the two Olympia.
Wash., pioneers. Hazard Stevens
and P. B. Van Trump, made the
first climb. But to this day.
Mount Rainier—or Mount Ta
coma, as you will—inspires
something of Suiskin’s awe in
the feelings of those who live
among the pleated ridges at her
base, in the feelings of even the
casual visitor.
It was certainly awe that
slowed The Oregonian-Oregon
State Motor association’s travel
car to a stop as it nosed down
from Chinook pass on the east
side of the mountain. Behind
rose the ragged crags of 6500-

Plans are being laid for a base
ball banquet honoring the players,
coaches and Legion officials. Two
Hillsboro theatres are offering free
admission to the visiting baseball-
ists.
A free baseball entertainment
program at Shute park, located
across the highway from the Legion
ball park, is being considered as a
possible added feature of the pro
gram on Sunday, August 10. The
entertainment would be open to the
public.

land fell away for some 1500
feet to the thin, glinting streak
of White river; far across the
deep valley pin-point cars crept
upward, and over all was
spread the deep green cloak of
virgin forests, unmarred by fire,
seemingly untouched by man.
Peak Massive Sentinel
At the upper end of the val
ley Mount Rainier stood senti
nel. The afternoon sun was
slanting across “the Mountain
That Was God," putting dia
mond-bright highlights on her
glacial fields. There was majes
ty in the scene, but there was a
hint, too, of power, of winter
gales that could seemingly pick
cars and travelers from a pre
carious perch like flies being
brushed from a wall.
The travel car almost in
stinctively nosed closer to the
bank as it slid down to White
river and wound upward on
the last leg of the journey into
Yakima park on the northeast
shoulder of the mountain.

It had been a short day and
an easy day. Leaving Portland
around noon, the travel car had
poked along to Mary’s Corner
on the U. S. 99, turned right on
state highway 5 and rolled
through Washington's fertile
Lewis county.
At Riffe or Kosmos on high
way 5. the traveler could turn
off for the 57-mile jaunt up into
the south side of the mountain
to Paradise valley—156 miles
from Portland. Paradise long
has been a mecca for Portland
travelers, and up until last year
was the most easily reached sec
tion of the park.
Alpine Loop Complete
But in June of 1940, the last
leg of the road from Ohanape-
cosh hot springs in the south
east corner of the park to Chi
nook pass was completed, mak
ing it possible to drive com
pletely around the mountain.
The last finishing touches were
put on the road this year, and
it was that section of the road
that prompted the motorlog.
As for which side of the
mountain is the best to visit,
that, like all questions, has two
sides and opponents and pro
ponents on both sides.
The motorloggers timidly
venture these opinions on that
question:
(a) If you go for companion
ship, try the south side. Some
34,000 cars have been checked
into Paradise valley so far this
year, while less than half that
number visited Yakima park.
(b) If you go for scenery, try
the north side. Yakima park is
1000 feet higher on the moun
tain. (Yakima park elevation.
6400 feet; Paradise elevation.
5400 feet.) The mountain seems
closer, the crags craggier, the
valleys deeper.
But in either case, it’s a mat
ter of degree. Whichever side
he visits, it will be a hard
hearted man that doesn’t get
something of the Sluiskin’s
sense of awe from “The Moun
tain That Was God "
Legion Junior
Tourney Set
With the city of Hillsboro desig
nated at the last minute as site for
the American Legion Junior state
baseball tournament on Saturday
and Sunday, August 9 and 10, plans
for the two-day sports event are
being pushed ahead at break-neck
speed under guidance of Ed L.
Moore, general chairman, and local
committees.
Of first importance as planning
machinery went into prompt ac
tion was an announcement by a
committee in charge of grandstand
facilities that a cover will be built
over the Legion field seats this
year to provide shade and elimin
ate sun-glare.

to Have Comfort
Further insuring that spectators
will suffer no discomforts from
torrid temperatures, Legion offi
cials have declared it is their sin
cere intention if the weather is ex
ceptionally warm to develop an air-
conditioning system by hauling in
some seven or eight tons of ice to
place under the grandstand with
strong fans forcing circulation.
Other committees in charge of
planning the various phases of pre
paration for the state ball finals
are going to equal lengths to insure
a pleasant two-day adventui-v in
the tournament city for visiting
players, coaches and Legion offi
cials as well as for the thousands
of fans who will come from all
parts of the state.
Accommodation,

Ample and comfortable housing
accommodations are being arranged
for all visiting Junior Legion base
ball players and adequate hotel fa
cilities will be found by others who
come for the two days. Expense of

Invited
Replies are being received, mean
while, to a flood of telegrams re
cently wired .'inviting American
National and Pacific Coast league
officials to attend the series. Among
the first to express thanks for the
invitation was Kenesaw Mountain
(Judge) Landis, America’s dean of
baseball. Other big league officials
have promised to send scouts and
all are wishing success to the series.
Each day of the state tourna
ment will see all four finalist teams
in action, making two double-head
er programs. The state tourney en
trants, champions in their respec
tive districts, will represent the
city of Portland, the Willamette
Valley section, Southern Oregon
and Eastern Oregon.

The average price of an electric re

The average price today is $154—for
a lot better product.
One thing that made this price reduc

people bought electric refrigerators.
Volume brought prices down.
And one thing that made volume pos

people to want electric refrigerators.
That’s how advertising helps bring
