SREET CHARITY

The greater portion Of funds the Red
Cross is asking for is an absolute ne
cessity for administering chsritsble
work in Hood River county the coming
year. Except for so cents Of each
membership dollar in the national Red
Cross. all Of the money will remain at
home to aid in the work Of maintain
ing the Public Health Association.
Hood River folk have not sensed the
need for this fund. This is evidenced
by the response to the appeal Of the
women in charge Of the campaign.
Hood River folk have not allowed
themselves to be possessed Of that
feeling Of sweet charity such ss was

PUTTING A NOUN
TAIN ON THE MAP

The following article, accompanies
by photographs, appeared in the cur
rent issue of the American LegioI
Weekly, published at Washington
d. c.:
It's an heroic as we'll as a strange
sounding task that the Hood Rive
(Ore.) Post has claimed for it's own
no less than the job of putting a noun
tain on the map.
Mount Hood has been geographically
identified in the aliases for quite come
time, of course. But its wild anc
mighty beauty is scarcely suggested ir
the hentracks which indicate that here
rises a mountain.
Hood River Post set out to put
Mount Hood on the map in the same
sort of way that its Washington neigh
Dor, Mount Rainier, is there to make
it a tourist Mecca, to the everlasting
glory of the state of Oregon and the
very practical advancement of the city
of Hood River.
Members of the post have twice got
far.reaching and spectacular publicity
by arranging "Seeing Mount Hood"
climbs. But what has gone before
will seem meager alongside the public
ity bound to follow the 1928 climb.
Hood River Post has gone right after
the newspaper space where it grows.
Next year the Oregon State Editorial
Association will make the ascent under
Legion auspices-and after that just
watch what the papers say!
Mount Hood, be it known, isn't a
peak you can climb and be home for
luncheon. Getting to the summit and
back down again considering Hood
River to be the starting point is a
two-day proposition. That was discov-
cred by the intrepid scouts which Hood
River Post sent up into the high places
when the idea of putting Mount Hood
over with the tourist public was first
conceived in 1921.
The Legion committee made a COM
plete circuit of the mountain. They
passed over eight glaciers and came
back four days later with the report
that it could be done and was certainly
worth doing; also with some hair
raising stories of climbs up the faces
of ice cliffs. of human bridges swung
over crevasses hundreds of feet in
depth, of avalanches of rock and snow
that threatened to cut short the trip in
a most unpleasant and positive way,
of walls of ice to be conquered only by
tunneling, and finally of adventures in
the bowling storm that drove the party
from the mountain.
That all sounded good at home and
when Hood River Post set forth short
ly afterward on the First Annual
Mount Hood Climb there we're 125 men
in the crowd. This year more than
double that number turned out and
went up-253, to be precise.
The first day of the climb finds the
party a mile above sea level. At this
point camp has been established and
the evening is spent around a great
camp fire. 1t is an evening of celebra-
tion. There is band music, singing
and speaking. The next day is the
hard day, for Mount Hood stands
II, ,225 feet in its socks and the climb
ers go clear to the top.
But the trip is worth the weariness
that is the price of admission. Even
single glimpse of the vast panorama
of lakes and mountains and virgin for
est would compensate any nature lover
for his exertion, for in all the world
there is no more marvellous view to be
seen by human eyes.
