100 Years Ago – May 31, 1923

The Oregon Editorial Association will participate this year in one of the most unique conventions in the history of the state’s organization of newspaper men. Plans are complete for the participation of the editors in the third annual Mount Hood Climb of the Mount Hood Post, American legion, which, according to interest shown in various northwestern communities, will attract an estimated 750 visitors. The combined editorial and Legion party are expected to set a record in Northwestern Mountain Climbing. The number gathered at the highland forest camp, on the banks of the sparkling Tilly Jane Creek and at the very edge of Mount Hood’s perpetual snow, will far exceed that of any former recreational party ever held in the state, and the legionnaires, whose guides last year escorted 111 to the summit of the peak, expect the “Over the Top” party this year to be doubled.
