& ton in the worlds Consider
able skepticism has existed in the
minds of fire-detection experts of the
service as to the feasibility of erecting
lookout stations on the tops of high
mountains. While increased elevation
gives a proportionately wider view,
the experts contended that this ad-.
vantage was more than offset by OBJ
securing clouds which constantly drift
in and envelop mountain peaks.
The Mount Hood lookout station has.
contrary to the opinion formerly held
by great many people. proved an un-
qualified success. The forest service
is so elated over this forestry venture
that II contemplates extending the
work and building stations on other
high peaks.
knocking together the most prim-
tive kind of shack on the top of
any more or less inaccessible mountain
peak is task not to be lightly un-
dertakeu. and Mount Hood proved no
exception.
Mount Hood towers far above its
brothers aud sisters of the Cascade
range to a height Of 1925 feet, and
wears a cap of perpetual snow. Arc
tic conditions prevail the year round
for the lookout on the mountain.
