LITTLE JOURNEYS in

To the local motorist who desires a
is chockful of pleasure and sightseeing,
the trip to White Salmon and Under
wood may be suggested. II you want
to make it full day you may do SO by
proceeding from Underwood Heights
into the Little White Salmon valley
and thence up to Chenowith and Okala-
homa.
At the present time it is necessary
to take the Hood River.White Salmon
ferry to reach Underwood. From the
ferry landing on the Washington shore
take the road leading to the east up
the side of the goreside to the town Of
White Salmon. From this road you
will enjoy the view Of the symmetri-
eally laid out farms Of the Columbia
lowlands. After passing through White
Salmon, keep on the main travelled
roads and swing through the orchard
and berry district back to the gorge Of
the White Salmon river. First on this
road you will strike point where the
route is intersected by the road leading
down to Underwood. Do not take this
road, but proceed about mile and q
half and you will see little side road
leading through orchards. Take this
and you will strike the White Salmon
at the lake formed by the 100 foot dam
of the Northwestern Electric Co., built
across the narrow chasm here. Then
swing to the west and you will get
glimpse of the dam itself and later the
big power house, where electricity used
in heating a portion of Portland's busi-
ness district ia generated. The roads
along the lake and leading by the dam
and power house are privately main
tanned by the power concern. They are
thrown open tn the public, however.
After crossing the White Salmon
river and climbing out of the canyon
you will strike the main road Of the
Underwood district. The turn to the
right at this point 10 sharp one, and
you may have some difficulty If your
car 10 long one.
BY following this main, well travelled
road you will reach on an easy grade
the rim of the Columbia gorge at Un-
derwood Heights. A new section Of
the North Bank highwayssthrough Ska
mania county has been constructed
here, and from it the motorist is given
grand view of the Hood River valley.
Numerous little side roads penetrate
the Underwood orchard communities,
and the traveller can spend hours profit.
