Camas Mayors Swim Columbia River for Charity
Vancouver Washington December 23 The mayor A W Cowan age 36 and Clarke County commissioner J C Eddings age 52 will swim the Columbia River on Christmas Day for charity. The 460 foot wide swift river in Camas will send the swimmers about 600 feet due to current. A collection on their return will go to the public schools. The river’s winter cold and snow fed from the Cascade range make this a bold undertaking.
