Some time ago your 0dell correspond
ent was praisng the inspiring beauty Of
Hood River valley as seen on clear
day from the summit of The Dalles pass.
He is right. Ii is well worth trip.
| But that is not the only vantage point
from which to view the valley. From
the summit Of the Booth hill one may
get as near bird's-eye view OF the val
ley as is possible outside balloon. Not
only can one see the lower valley but
the upper part as well. The view Of
Mount Hood can not be excelled from
any other vantage point.
On the summit Of this hill is an ir-
regular basin containing about ten
acres. There are about two acres OF
level land in the bottom of it covered
with a good growth of willows. The
basin is probably rs to 100 feet deep.
From indications we believe that at one
time this was a secondary crater to
Mount Hood. Such being the case, it ls
easy to account for the nature Of the soil
on the Flat.
Now, il your correspondent wishes to
view truly inspiring sight, we advise
him by all means to get on the summit
OF this hill.
