YOUNG MEN MAKE
NOTABLE SKI TRIP

An unusual journey was made the
latter part of last week by Hans Hoer-
lein Paul hoerlein and Ned Craw ford.
The young men, travelling from here to
Parkdale by rail, made the round trip
from that city 10 Cloud Cap Inn ON
skis. The distance from Cloud Cap
Inn to Parkdale is IL miles, and while
the steep grade makes the return jour-
ney almost one grand coast, Hans
Hoerlein declares that the journey TO
the mile high altitude of the Inn was
very strenuous. Despite the fact that
ali of the young men are athletes, Mr..
hoerlein says they were completely
tagged out when they arrived Wednes-
day night at the mountain hostelry,
now almost buried under J0-foot
snow.
I'VE each carried 30-pound pack
bedding and grub," says Mr.. Hoerlein.
"The weather was beautiful and but
for the fatigue. ] don't think any trip
was more enjoyable than that from
Parkdale up through the snow covered
national forest. While the strone wind
that prevails at the high attitudes had
swept out numerous holes in the snow
where we might have camped, window
of the Inn was up, and we crawled
through and built a fire in the great
fireplace. The wind had caused giant
snowbank to drift in through the open
window, and there on our blankets, the
snow few feet away. We spent the
night with our feet toasting before the
great FIRE.
h Thursday we made an excursion on
our skis up the canyon of Tillie Jane
creek. and ] walked to the top of
Cooper's Spur to see the sunset. 1t
was gorgeous sight. While the
peaks of Rainier, The Sisters, Adams,
st. Helen's and Jefferson were visible
and were painted magnificent color
ing by the afterglow, giant cloud
banks rolled beneath me. The refIee-
tions of the setting sun on these pro-
duced every color of the rainbow. ]

DRY LAW SAID
TO BE BENEFICIAL

While Hood River county was a dry
territory under local option laws, local
county and city officials declare that
the Anderson statewide dry Law has
been beneficial from moral and eco
'nomic standpoint during the past year.
"The Anderson law" says District
Attorney A. j. Derby" in my mind
was very effective and produced
desired results"
The operation of the law" says
City Marshal J. K Carson, ''tended to
eliminate class OF drunkenness that
we had formerly contended with when
boys and young men would 90 to
neighboring towns and return home
intoxicated or with enough in suitcases
to render drunk party of friends.
The fact that Washington went dry
simultaneously also helped Us in this
wise.
G'But during the past two months,
with men who wanted to drink every
atom of liquor possible under legal re-
strictions before the impending bone
dry bill goes into effect, we have had
a great increase in drunkenness. The
importation of liqour increased by
leaps and bounds and many of the re-
cipients of the intoxicating liquor
drank too much.

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is q
habit, but fortunately one that is easily
broken. Take cold sponge bath every
morning when you first get out OF bed
not ice cold, but temperature OF about
900 F. Also sleep with your window up.
Do this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Chamber

The Old Gentleman'S Little
Place In the Country

How he made II he does not say, but make -
ne did until final disaster found him In such
physical shape that there was no chance for
redemption. Faced with the alternative Of APP
pealing to family that already had done its
traditional bit, he chose the almshouse And
ne effaced himself so quietly and covered his
trail so we'll that not even a rumor Of his down
fall reached his friends.
There in the almshouse It has been his choice
to remain. He is sure Of his keep, and besides
earns a dollar or more every week, partly by
helping 70 keep the institutions books and
partly through other odd jobs. These earnings
he boards for ffty-one weeks, TO squander
them in part Of the fifty-second. Ordinarily,
old people who leave the almshouse Of their
own volition must either be recommitted or
must shift for themselves on the outside, but
in this one case an exception has been mada
from the beginning. So soon as he saw hs
still could earn money, the old gentleman Boz
gan 70 save, and when he had $40 or $50 ac-
cumulated he obtained permission 10 90 70 tins
city, to remain until the money was spent and
then to return without formality.
