MOSQUITOES ON VACATION Gnats Also Off Duty Women Miss Kerosene Can After Stripping Pine Xeedles Barehanded for Beds on Mountainside. BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. Firt Night Out With the Maxamas. Wa-hoo-wah ! Wa-hoo-wah ! Billy Roat! Nanny g-oatt Ma-za-ma! CAMP TROUT LAKE. Night of Aug. 2. Fifty-two in camp, beds all made, and everybody happy before sundown. If that's not a record for a husky Knickerbocker crowd that left Port, land at 8:20 A. M. on the same day then I'd like to know what you call a record! Accident to date, one hat (lady's, needless to say) blew off, ne cessitating the stopping and turning back of Oswald Royal s big automobile from Hood River. Recovery of the hat was effected without loss of language. Complaint No. 1: No one was able to eat quite all he or she wanted to of the perfectly royal spread that awaited the Mazamas under the trees, picnic style, at the New Jewett farm, near White Salmon, where the North Bank train, plus automobiles, deposited them at 11:30 A. M. Complaint No. 2: Every one who didn't get a seat in the great 60-horsepower automobile that carried Cook Weston, veteran caterer to the Mazamas, felt like a day-coacher along side a Pullman, for the magic words, "the cook first," gave this car right of way. The rest had to take the dust, and they couldn't even feel sore, for every Manama heart throbbed with a desire to speed the cook. As Mark Twain said, "nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs." Mark knew. Suck Knickers Defy Mountain, An intense wave of jealousy came near disrupting the entire club when one or the men produced from his dunnage bag (Oh, those wonderful Pandora boxes! What don't they bring forth?) a pair of simply glorious extra heavy, extra white duck knickers, warranted to withstand all the sliding old Mount Adams can put up to them. Everyone gathered about and oh'd and oh'd and said, "How lovely," while he held them up to inspection, smiling like a. Cheshire cat over the only saucer of cream then everyone sulked, and said, "Why couldn't we have known about them, too?" and hoped he'd come through them, just as they ail expect to come through, on the big slide. Seriously, we're as happy as June bugs, in a sweet-smelling yellow pine forest, beside a roaring mountain stream of pure, cold, glacial water, with old Adams regally daring us to come nearer. And we're all taking the dare. ' Not a mosquito has put in his bill, to date (it's early yet, we know), and not a gnat has gnatted. Could we ask for more? Pine Needle Beds Made. The women, wise creatures,- have made down their beds, each one just ucneain a Email pine. You do it this way: you seize a branch of the Dine. run your strong right hand down alone V. -J 1 1 1 . . o wo uvo-u iiHeuies ana tney rail In show ers below: Presto! A soft pine-needle bed. One young woman started it, and soon every one of the twenty-odd were at it. "Just exactly like picking a chicken!" one remarked, enthusiastically. But, oh, the hands, afterward; when one stopped in the mad onslaught to look, "Never mind." cooed a comforting housewifely soul, "kerosene will take It off." "Where's the kerosene?" demanded one of those intensely practical per sons. And then the housewifely soul realized her many miles from the back porch," -with its good old potato corked can and there was a dead si lence, which only the dropping pine needles disturbed. The men. always the stronger if less foxy set, took to the axes and the deep woods, cut pine boughs and -worked hard and got up another appetite. The men may be the foxiest, after all, for what they did to that first supper well. Cook Weston scratched his head, looked dubious, muttered something about having ordered an extra fine and plentiful commissary, including such delicacies as mushrooms and asparagus, but he'd better get telephone communi cation with the wholesalers before go ing farther.

Secretary Garri son said if the streetcar company could be Induced to give a reasonable contribution for the improvement and upkeep of the road, and the City of Vancouver, or Clark County, would give a reasonable sum, that he would approve of a reasonable sum from the Government. Henry Crass raised the objection that the city or county cannot appropriate money to be expended on improvements outside of the city or county limits, pointing out that Vancouver Barracks is a Government reservation. Secretary Garrison suggested that if a city desired to expend money in this way, that a way could be found. Later W. F. Edwards said that he would be willing to give 1000 if the track would be started and the street or road improved within a reasonable time. Mr. Biddle said he would be willing to make a contribution, which would depend on the kind of improve ment. It is desired to have a 24-foot paved street through the reservation. Following a reception at the Offi cers' Club, Mr. Garrison and his com panions went to Colonel Young's quar ters, where they were received by Mrs. Young, her sister, Mrs. Francis Wood bridge and her daughter, Miss Polly Young.

The view from Portland Heights today was beautiful. "But what impresses me most. of all about Portland," he continued, "is the progressive character of her citizens. They are wide awake, not only to ques tions of local moment, but to questions of National importance. At no vlace on our present trip have we found a better spirit than we have found in Portland." .

When Secretary Garrison arrived In Portland Saturday morning he wore a black bow tie. He wore the same tie on his departure, but during the trip to the mouth of the Columbia he wore a striped four-in-hand. The reason for the shift In neck wear was this: When Secretary Gar rison arrived in Portland and stepped from the train he expanded his ample chest with a deep breath of Portland air. The second shirt button from the top popped off, and, not having time to make a change of shirts, a quick exchange of neckwear was effected with W. R. Pedigo. his private secre tary, with the result that the gaping secretarial shirt-bosom was covered. Garrison Visits in Tacoma. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 3. (Special.)

Salem's Municipal Machinery Out of Harmony Treachery Charged by Officials. SALEM, Or., Aug. 3. (Special.) "My shoulders are broad enough to take all the blows aimed at me by the City Council," said Dr. B. L. Steeves, Mayor of Salem, today. "They struck at Councilman Rigdon and thought they would hit me. I was missed entirely and only an innocent man was hurt." Mayor Steeves and members of the Council have been out of harmony for months. When he announced recently that he would take a vacation trip he appointed Councilman Rigdon Acting Mayor. Another Councilman was elect ed by the board to preside over its meetings, after Mayor Steeves left the city. That angered Councilman Rigdon, who created a scene at the meeting by declaring he had been "struck from behind" and would leave the chamber, not to return until the Council apolo gized to him. He left and as soon as Mayor Steeves learned of the situation he returned post haste to the city. "I have no animosity against any one," continued the Mayor. "But if they wanted to do any punching," why didn't they do it while I was here. In stead of waiting until I got out of reach before they struck?" The meeting of the Council tomor row night promises to be the most lively ever held in Salem. NORTH BEND TO BOOST New Chamber of Commerce Is Organized. ' NORTH BEND, Or., Aug. 3. -(Spe-cial.)

Vir tually every business man in the city has joined and it is planned to start an active booster campaign. Heretofore, the North Bend Commer cial Club, which was organized primar. ily as a social body, has been looking after the booster work. This was not satisfactory and it was decided to form the Chamber of Commerce to handle the promotion work and let the Com mercial Club fill its place as a social club. The membership of the Cham ber of Commerce will be much larger and with monthly dues of $1 from each member and special subscriptions from business men, it is expected sufficient funds will be derived to do some ef fective booster work. With the Southern Pacific actively engaged on the construction of the Coos Bay-Eugene line, having three large construction camps within the city limits, about $70,000 worth of street improvements under way and about tlOO.OOO more projected, with the Coos Bay harbor improvement starting and the North Bend Lumber Company about ready to start its enlarged mill here, business men beiieve the time is ripe for some effective boosting. The chamber will take up at once the question of a new hotel, one of North Bend's needs. There have been nego tiations for the erection of a $75,000 structure but those backing the project wanted more money subscribed in North Bend. It was suggested that one of the small city parks, a block in the heart of the town, be utilized as a site. , J. H. Greves, C. S. Wlnsor. V. E. Wat ters, E. C. Mather. George Hazer. Peter Loggle, C.
