Twenty thousand people saw the
accident. Only few minutes before
Hughes had thrilled them when his
Hoskins car dashed up to the top of
the rim and disappeared. Because of
the fact that he had slowed down for
the turn, his machine did not over
turn, and both he and his mechani-
clan escaped uninjured.
Calvin was speeding up for the
stretch and was going at least 100

MANY VISITORS SEE
EAGLE CREEK TRAIL

The Eagle Greek camp grounds on
the Oregon National Forest attracted
Is, 900 tvisitors from thirty states and
dozen foreign countries during the
outing season. of 1916. according to T.
n. Sherrard, supervisor of the Oregon
National Forest. This is the first sea-
son these camp grounds have been
easily accessible to the public.
The grounds have been developed
under a carefully devised plan of the
forest service to make them both at
tractive and convenient to campers and
visitors. Nearly one hundred camp
sites with safe fire places and other
conveniences have been prepared. Ex-
cellent water has been piped to the
grounds and sewer system installed.
A public comfort station is centrally
located where it is accessible from all
parts Of the grounds. A short loop
road from the Columbia Highway
makes il possible for automobile par
lies to drive directly to a camp site.
thus making the packing of equipment
and supplies unnecessary.
A forest officer was stationed at the
camp grounds during the season who
assisted visitors in finding satisfac.
tory camp site and parking place for
their machine. He saw that fire was
kept burning in large concrete stove
for the convenience of transient parties
in making coffee'or cooking food with
out having to start fire. A supply of
fire wood was kept ready for visitors
use, and garbage cans were convent.
emily placed about the grounds.
Among the $1,000 visitors at these
camp grounds were parties from Alas
ka, Canada, China. England, France,
Germany, Hawaii. japan, New Zealand,
Scotland, and Switzerland, besides 80 of
the states of the Union.
In preparing for the winter. the pipe
lines have been disconnected and the
comfort station locked. The tent oc-
cupied by the ranger as a temporary
quarters has been taken down. 1t is
planned to build permanent ranger
station on the grounds the coming
season.
A topographic survey of the grounds
has just been made, and large num-
ber of new camp sites ON the west side
of Eagle creek are planned. An auto
mobile bridge across the creek is part
of the plan to make the new camp
sites more accessible.
The trail up Eagle creek has been
completed for four and half miles to
a bridge site a mile and a half above
tho Punch Bowl. Here a bridge will
be built so feet long and l25 feet above
the creek. 1t is expected to complete
this trail to Wahtum lake next season.
The excellent cooperation of visitors
in keeping the camp grounds in a neat
and attractive condition is appreciated
by the forest officers who have charge
of the grounds.
Because public camping grounds of
this sort meet real need" says Mr..
Sherrard, "the forest service is plan
ming to develop several suitable sites on
the National Forests of Oregon and
Washington in 1917. According to pres
ent plans, camp ground near Rock
dale on the Snoqualmie forest will un.
dergo the most extensive development
next. year.
