COMMITTEE
MAKES SUGGESTION

Il This kind of weather might not sug-
oest climbing Mount Hood next sum-
mer to many. but nevertheless the
American Legion Mount Hood CllmD
Committee held very resultful meet
ings last Friday night when consider
able progress was made on plans Ior
the third annual climb in July 1879.
With the same committee that mas
conducted the two former climbs again
in charge of the arrangements ano
with the information and experience
they have gained the committee IS con-
fident of a better climb this. Those
who were on the climb last year, or
those who read the report OF the COM
mittee showing what provisions were
left. will appreciate the fact that II Is
some hard lob to estimate the number
of people that will assemble for meals.
when II is remembered that this climb
ia being staged without any desire to
make money but wholly for the en-
nloyment of those that participate and
for the purpose of advertising Mount
Hood as one of Oregon's most scenic
attractions, it will be seen that the
committee is justified this year IN re-
ouiring everyone who expects to make
fhe climb to register and make de-
posit with the committee not later
| than Wednesday preceding the Satur'
dav which will later be set as the time
for leaving Hood River. The commit
tee appreciates the fact that number
