FINE MOUNTAIN RESORTS.
Weston Mountain In Favor With
MANY Summer Campers.

There are some good resorts in the
Blue mountains aside from Meacham,
Wenaha, Lehman, Hidaway and those
places about which people hear most
often. In the mountains back of
Weston there are several camp colo
nies and the people there enjoy Them
selves as much as do those who are
spending the hot days at the regular
resorts"
At the Cold Spring camp, McDou-
galrs camp and the Toll Gate scores
of Weston, Athena, walla Walla and
Pendleton people are camping this
summer. At Cold Springs a dancing
pavilion was constructed this sum-
mer and a dance is given each Satur-
day night. For good summer enoy-
ment they have no better dances any
where.
At this time grouse hunting is goou
in the mountains and many hunters
go back into the wilds to hunt for a
few days. Few return empty handed
An incident of interest to the camp
ers yesterday was the presence in the
mountains of Breen, the Walla Walla
convict who was taken out for one
more chance to locate lost Cecil Brit
tin. Among the campers there was
the feeling that Breen is a faker ant
that nothing would come from hi:
