Scenic Highway To Sorosis Park Will Open Up Beautiful Vista

Editor’s note from May 18, 1923: The following story on Sorosis park, which appeared in the Portland Oregonian October 22 1922, is reprinted because of its appropriateness, in view of the celebration to be held at the park tomorrow.

By Ruth Elizabeth Sheldon

At the foot of the cliff upon which one stands snuggles the little white and green, red and brown city of The Dalles, a symphony of blended colors. At the right lie the dimpled hills with their golden tresses heaving with browns of wheat, and they seem to smile across the shining white arm of the Columbia at the stern outline of the dark hills beyond ... — May 18, 1923, The Dalles Daily Chronicle
