the Foolish Chauffeurs." who enroute
to the Bridegroom's marriage were
stalled because their gas gave out
They implored their travelling COM
panions to give them enough gas TO
make their common destination but
were hidden by the others 10 hike
back 10 the nearest gas station and
buy what they needed there. "ior our
supply is low. and we must have gas
enough TO arrive in time" So the
follish chauffeurs were put to a vexa-
tious delay because OF their impru-
dence. and when they finally did
arrive. very late. at the bridegroom
door. il was too late for them to enter.

Going up the Oregon side OF the
Siskiyous we met one who deserves
to be a millionaire. He is the best
illustration OF unmitigatcd gall and
oast-iron nerve | have met in many
a day. Half way up the grade he has
a sign put out. Cool your engine.
Summit three miles Water. IS cents
He was the only prohteer in water
we met. and to add point to his
nerve he was dNshing out the pre-
cious fluid only . half mile from
spring where water in abundance
gushed out for al lwho wanted to take
it. He illustrates perfectly the scrip
ture. "Ye were a stranger and | took
you in"
The fine auto-camps we experienced
enroute deserve all praise for the COM
forts offered at a reasonable cost. The
hes, camps are all south of Portland.
Medford. Oregon. has the finest camp
we discovered. Here are fine, COM
Portable cabins. equipped with good
beds. springs and mattresses. There
is kitchen with a dozen or more
gas stoves where one may cook his
meals. There are shower baths with
hot and cold water. a hne plunge.

who care for these amusemcnts. And
all without extra charged We paid
at the rate of SIPS for two in cabin.

tired from long days drive. dusty
and dirty. such entertainment looks
exceedingly good. | am convinced
that Caldwell lcould not make better
investment than a camp where con-
venicnces for the travellers are so well
looked after The camps at Roseburg
and Ashland. Oregon. and at Wood
lands and Sacramento. California, we
found most comfortable and well
equipped. The auto camp industry is
the coming thing for travcelrs on the
road. Hotels are too expensive and
not at all accommodated for the
tourist. He is in his travelling togs
and does not want to spend the time
or money necessary for comfort in
the regulation hotels. But the auto
camp brings joy to his SOUL and ac-
commodation to his pocket book.
Let's have a modern, auto camp for
Caldwell. There is money in it, and
plenty of good advertising for our
city.
81 can spend no time here in de-
scribing the wonderful scenery OF the
Columbia Highway. That ride dcfies
all attempts to reduce its wonders
to the captivity of words. AS one
stands before the magic beauty OF
Multnomah Falls, the most beautiful,
bewitching fall of water | have ever
seen, words freeze before they are
spoken. | just worshipped That
water fall to me is the climax OF all
that is seen on that wonder trip.
Even Crown Point in all its majesty
is not arrayed like thatl To miss
seeing the Columbia river from the
highway is to miss one of Gods
greatest gifts to the American people.
1t used to be said to a loyal Mo-
hammedan, See Damascus and die
am sure we western Americans, at
least. deserve to die il we do not
make the effort to go to Portland via
the Old Oregon Trail. and over the
far-famed Columbia River Highway
"Our visit to California was wonder
fully worthwhile. An ambition OF
many years was realized as we were
able to drive there and back. While
there | preached in other churches
