Baker, Feb. 23 (Special) B. B. Bak
owski of this city is reported to have
perished while making an attempt to
reach the Crater ; Lake country
through the heavy snows. According
to the word received here 5 searching
party Is now out looking for the mis
sing man, with yeiy little hopes of
finding him alive, as terrible 'snow
storms have been raging In that vicin
ity for the past few days, In which It
Is believed to have been Impossible for
him to survive.
Bakowski was a photographer by
occupation and came to Baker about
, two years ago with J. W. Stephenson,
the rerl estate dealer and for Borne
tiir followed his business In this city.
He was an expert In his line and '.a
short time ago he left here and started
on a trip through Central Oregon.
That was a month ago, and the last
seen of him. so every Indication Is that
he must have perished of hunger if
rot from the fury of the storms. The
searching party from Fort Klamath
had reported no trace of him up to yes
terday afternoon.
Mr. Bakowski was well known In
Baker, as he had made many friends
during his stay here. He came to
America from Poland several years
ago and has been an Intimate friend
of Mr. Stephenson for the past six
years.
It Is thought he got to the rim of
the lake and not realizlngthat the
snow had drifted out over the rim, but
thinking that the snow bant was on
solid ground, he fell through and If ha
did not lodge before reaching the bot
tom and perish in the snow that he
tumbled on down Into the lake, 3.000
feet, almoBt perpindlcular Into the
water. .
Burns and Gibson report from 25 to
30 feet of snow at the rim of the lake
where the wind had not blown ft off.

where down the precipice that drops
down into Crater Lake, the belief of
residents of this place. Bakowski left
here a month ago for the rim of the
lake to secure some views of that In
land wonder. Not returning last Sat
urday Frank Burns and Albert Gib
son started out to see lfthey could
locate him but they have returned and
report finding Bakowski's sled and
shovel but no other signs of him.
Eakowski told these me.n In case he
did not return to look for him, and if
a searching party was s;nt out he
would leave notes tacked on the build
ing at the irim of the lake, to give
them a' clue as to his future inten
tions. The searching party went on
tc these buildings, but there was noth
ing to Indicate that he had been there.
negative team debating away from
home and the affirmative team remain
ing at home. The question for debate
a "Resolved, that the United States
should establish a system of shipping
subsldle.- '
The second debate is with the Uni
versity of Utah, which will be held
about the middle of March in Salt Lake
City, upon the same question of ship
ping subsidies.
The other debate Is & W'oman'suai
debate with the University of Wash

EXPECT STANDING ROOM ONLY
"Man of the Hour WUI Likely Fill the
' Steward to the Poors
"The Man of the Hour" will bs pre
sented at the Steward March 1st, and
as the theatregoers' have heard and
read so much of this great play there
Is no doubt standing room will be at
a premium. While Ckorge Broadhurst;
the playwrlgt haB taken for his theme
certain conditions which exist in every
large city, still there Is said to be In
terwoven in "The Man of the Hour" a
delightful love; story. The plat in It
concerns a young millionaire who has
been refused by his sweetheart be
cause he has "done nothing" worthy."
He then enters politics and Is elected
mayor of his city. After assuming
the duties of the office he manfully
refuses to bow to the political boss.
One of the first bills brought to him
for his signature has to do with .1
franchise grab, and Is prompted by tho
uncle of the girl with whom he is in
love. It looks to the new mayor as if
this refnial would cost him all the
friends of his family, but after pur
suing the irough road, In the end he
wins his sweetheart and demonstrates
that honesty always pays. The com
pany to be seen here Is said to be ex
ceptionally strong while the produc
tion Is .complete In every detail.
