GREEN MOUNTAIN DAY.
Field Meeting August 10 on the Summit
OF KilIington Peak.

The annual out of doors meeting of
the Green Mountain club will be held
this year with the Killington section OF
Rutland on top of Killington peak. This
noble peak, 4,2sl feet high, is only las
feet less elevation than Mt. Mansfield,
and dominates the southern portion OF
the Green mountain range. The Catskill
mountains can be seen from its summit
under favorable conditions. The train
arrives from the north at Rutland at
1880 a. m, when the party will rendez-
vous at the Hotel Berwick. Automobiles
viii leave the hotel at lI;l5 a. m. for
Trip Up Killington via old road
from Brewers, where automobiles are
left. This trip can be compared in dist
ance and steepness to the ascent of
Mansfield via. Underhill trail. Round
trip walking distance six miles.
Trip 2-Up Killington from Sherburne
pass over new portion of the long
trail, passing well up on the slope of
Pico peak. Distance to summit seven
miles Descend to meet automobiles at
Brewers three miles. This trail is a
new, easy trail on the approved forestry
department standard, the grade not ex-
ceeding Is per cent. To those equal to
10 miles, a beautiful and interesting
trip, as it is walk across Killington
peak.
To gain time. picnic lunch will be
eaten in the automobiles on the way
out. After the return to Rutland, an
informal dinner of the Green Mountain
club will be held at the Hotel Berwick
at 700 p. M following which affairs of
interest win be discussed. Train for the
north leaves at $3.50 p. m.
The field meeting will be practically
celebration of the opening of the long
trail from Mansfield to Killington as
the trail is now being opened across the
mountains lying between Lincoln and
Rochester passes, the only remaining
gap in the route. As the Sterling sec
tion of johnson have carried their trail
almost across Sterling mountain to Ster-
ling pond, the terminus of the long
trail, this meeting also celebrates that
undertaking which will give the long
trail a length of l2s miles, which UNI
doubtedly makes it the longest continu
GUS mountain trail in the United States.
Killington peak, from this meeting,
the completion to that peak of the long
trail, and a new trail from Woodstock
for which r. NJ olzendam, University of
Vermont, 10. is now raising funds, will
receive deserved and desirable attention.
A movement is now on foot to re-
build the old road up from Brewers on
the west slope by which passengers
could drive nearly TO the summit of Kill
lington Is years ago.
A very interesting trip is in prospect,
and TO facilitate arrangements for auto-
mobile dinners the word may be sent
of number of persons, trip chosen and
dinners to c. p. Cooper, Rutland, or
Louis J. Paris, NJ. D., Burlington, either
of whom will furnish any further infor-
nation desired.

Improvements to the property. Some
time ago a retaining wall was erected
on two sides of the land, and recently
fills were made to establish well-graded
piece of land. This morning the masons
initiated the work of installing a water
fountain. This fountain will be situated
in the center of the plot, and its design
will be very attractive. A foundation is
being set now. The fountain complete
will be finished in about three weeks.
Enclosing the grounds will be neat iron
fence. When the winter season sets in,
the grounds will be overfiowed and a
novel skating rink will be installed. 1t
is the intention of the owner of the porp-

spring, so as to enhance the beauty of

be commenced Immediately to rebuild the
plant. 1t is said that those promoting
the construction of the new shed have
disposed of all their stock, mostly to
Williamstown people. An active inter
est is being assumed in the rebuilding of
the plant, which will be one of the most
modern and up-to-date granite plants in
Vermont and equipped with the best OBJ
tainable granite working appliances. 1t
is said in Williamstown that the plant
will be rebuilt by late fall and operat-
ing with fully as many men as ever
before.

EVIDENCES OF SPRING

Many evidences of the coming of
SInng days are in the air Not only
have the robins appeared in numerous
droves in the Valley, but the pussy
willows are budding. and when the
winter sunshine warns up we can al
most feel the first balminess of an
early spring.
Orchardists are beginning to talk
Spring work. Experts are beginning
toImake prophesies as to tha years
fruit blossom and the buds of the trees,
themselves, will soon begin to swell.
Implement dealers are getting busy
with their supply of sprayers. New
machines are being placed on display
and Spring time campaigns on scale and
fungi are being made ready for. Seed
dealers are laying in supplies and the
householder has already had the call of
Springtime to the open. He is waiting
impatiently for the weather to clear up
so that he can get busy with his gar

bursting, the oak leaves will be formed
and the ranchers will be whistling

WRITER DISCUSSES
PRBLIC SMOKING

Editor Glacier: In this day and age
most of our cities are studying to quite
an extent the smoke nuisance. Hood
River is fortunate in some ways in that
it is not bothered with the public
smoke nuisance so far as large chin
neys from manufacturing plants are
concerned, but we believe the casual
observer cannot help but be impressed
with the apparent modern state to
which Hood River has attained so far
as smoking in public places, especially
dining rooms is coacerned. The writer
does not know where this custom orig
mated, but understands that it has been
imported from some foreign country.
AS public papers we believe that you
could publicly create a higher moral
standard that would appeal to at least
the gentlemen smokers, suggesting the
decency of their not smoking in the
dining room whore ladies are present.
There is not a public dining room in
| the city today where the women can go
without having to put up with the
necessity of breathing air filled with
cigarette or tobacco smoke. If doctors
agree that the cigarette is harmful,
certainly 1t is not very sanitary Ia
breathe the smoke of the same, espec.
tally when we are anxious to eat pure
food.
The writer is not a crank on the sub
iect of smoking, but does believe il
breathing all the pure air possible, anC
believes, If your paper would start Z
: suggestion along these lines, that oui
botpIs and the nogF populap restaurant &
jointly would be glad to request NJ
smoking in the dining room whereas a
the present time one is afraid to los,
] trade by taking such a stand.

WHITE SALMON d.
VISION BILL LOST

The House of Representatives at
Olympia Monday morning killed the
bill to create the new county of Cook
cut of the western half of Klickitat
county.
The bill has been Senator Ghappell' s
pet measure and was successfully en-
gineered through the upper house of
the legislature last week. The bill
came in with a majority report from
the committee that it be indefinitely
postponed.
The debate was at times acrimonious
and the friends fought tooth and nail
for the division, but were voted down
81 to AZ. There has been st.ong
lobby for the proposed county division
from White Salmon since the opening
of the legislature. and the bill became
known as the ''red apple" measure,
for the members and lobby kept the
legislature well supplied with apples,
grown in the western section of the
county which they wanted to have d.

WHAT A GYMNASIUM WOULD MEAN

A few of the parents of the high |
school students have attended recent
basket ball games between the local
teams and those Of visiting cities.
Even on the cold nighttweek before
last when the local team Defeated The
Dalles at the old armory building, a
good many of them were present,
bursting out at intervals in shouts
with the rooters. These parents are
in closer touch with what the high
school students are doing than If they
had remained at home. There is
better understanding between them
and their children as to the problems
the children are facing.
No one who has recently attended
the armory games of basket ball, with
its poor Accommodations but has wished
that the boys and girls might have a
bette, place for their contests, But
very, very few more Of the parents
couli have found Accommodations at the
armory building if they hal atten led
the games, for the space three fol
spectators is rather crampod.
The Home and School association ha.
been doing much toward bringing
about close relationship between
teacher, student and Hparent But W,
think Ethat, if some adequate Tlac,
were provided, the interminging a
athletic events would aid even NOR,
than anything else toward better un
derstanding between all concerned
After all had shouted at the same mo
mCut over the victory of the hom
team or bad the self same depression
over the loss OF game, there woul
be created a kind OF common feeling.
Now athletics, we think, should eve
stand secondary to scholarship and tn
other attainments of an education, bu
when athletic events can be made tn
means of stimulating and giving a bet
ter working basis toward these thing
that should come first, then they de
serve consideration Of Importance.

AROrT THE Bull Run RESERVE

II is announced that Hood River Off
cials and member Of the Portland
water board will meet here in the near
future and make thorough survey Of
the Bull Run reserve situation. Hcoi
River people hope that an adjustment
OF the boundary Of the reserve may be
reached. so that the proposed highway
may be pushed from the Hood River
valley into the region Of the head
waters Of the Sandy river. And we
think that when Portland residents
thoroughly understand the contention
Of the local citizens they will realize
the change is a desirable one and the
way will be opened for the road.
Portland citizens are to be congratu-
lated on the ardor Of the members Of
their water board in their endeayors to
keep free from contamination their
source of water supply. The city is
fortunate in having such source Of sup
ply. If the road across the National
forest would create a contamination
then no one should raise a word against
the Injunction secured against the con
tinuation of its construction. How
ever, the trail that has already been
cut over the highway does not cross
the watershed Of the Bull Run system |
II merely traverses the reserve, the
boundaries Of which extend into Hood
River county's watershed.
The road will make great scenic
highway for Portland people. 1t will
enable them to enter the Hood River
valley and proceed thence up tie Col
umbia to The Dalles and to eastern Or
egon. 1t is needed. The National
government, to aid in the suppression
of fires that might at some future time
break out in the National reserve
around the base of Mount Hood, is
willing to contribute funds for its con-
struction. Although at present the |
Columbia river boulevard is tied up by
litigation, this will be raveled out and
the mountain road route will form with
this one of the most scenic loops in the
world. We should not now let a mis-
understanding tie up its further hasty n
construction. a
