 On the north slope of Mount Hood, on the east slope of the most western ridge, about half-way between the summit and the mountain's base, is to be seen, when conditions favor, the largest and most perfect profile of a human face in the world. It is the silhouette of an Indian chief, warlock and all, and Nature herself is the artist. During the months of April and May, between the hours of 1 P. M. and 3:30, this wonderful shadow picture is perfect in every detail, each feature is clear-cut and distinct. As the sun sinks the shadow gradually loses it character, and becomes a formless blur upon the soft whiteness of the snowy slope.
