COLLEGIANS ENJOY
DAY AT PUNCH BOWL

Members of the Hood River Uniyer-
sity Club with their families made the
DEVILS Punch Bowl, the beautiful pool
in the deep gorge of the West FORK oil
the Hood River just before It flows
into the main stream, their goal sun
day morning. A number of the party
left the city on the Mt. Hood train and
were Joined at Mohrs, Odell and sum-
nit by residents Of those respective
nelRhborhoods. Others from the city
and valley came in rigs, on horseback
and in automobiles. A large number
OF Upper Valley residents journeyed
down for the occasion. All came bur,
dened with lunches for the grand
spread at noon.
The picnickers crossed the main
river at the bridge just beyond
Winan's station and the West Fork on
the bridge that spans the stream above
the Punch Bowl. The chosen camping
ground was beside the little creek that
flows into the West Fork. The stream
leaps into the chasm Of the Punch
Bowl almost hundred feet below by
a series of beautiful falls. The sur
rounding scenery makes the spot de-
lightful for days outing. DR.. John
f. Beaumont with the skill OF eXper.
ienee erected a camp stove IN small
clearing beside the creek, where the
different members of the party pre-
pared coffee. After the bountiful
MONDAY luncheon, the people explored
the scenic surroundings, wandering
through the paths of the forest or
climbing down the steep cliff OF the
gorge to the edge Of the Punch Bowl.
A score or more of kodaks were put
into play sin order to secure views OF
the canyon and falls. About the mid
die of the afternoon v. &. Brock. chair
man of the entertainment committee,
called the members Of the club to
order and a short discussion was held
concerning future events. A resolu.
tion, providing for a smoker TO be held
in the near future and at which the
business matters Of the organization
would be discussed, was adopted.
Despite the many entertainments OF
the day. a great many people, resi-
dents of the neighborhoods adjacent to
the Punch Bowl. were greatly dis
appointed because of the foilure of the
stunt performers to appear. A crowd
lined the east cliff of the river to see
Buck Kelly shoot the falls in barrel
and to witness the tight rope walking
of Frank Deem. The fact that these
artists grew coldfooted threw certain
pail over the days events for the
visitors. "Chris," John Goldsbury's
Upper Valley Patchen Boy was on
hand. To complete the menagerie,
AL. w. Peters had brought along his
pedigreed hound, lasac. The canine
however was embarrassed by the pop
ulace and it was impossible to per-
suade him to remain for the festivities.
Ii was expected that James Il. Mont
gomery would render some Indiana
Folk songs. His absence was another
disappointment.
