Portland, Or., J: July 10. (Special). Yesterday saw i a mcdsratrun of all classes of live- stock at the yards the totals received i'durine the past 24 hours being 240 cattle, 30 calves, zsa sneep ana ow hogs. Trade during the first half of the day showed a fair degree of ac tivity and the indications were for an approximate clean-up at the close. The cattle market held its own, the best steers put up during the forenoon going at $8 to $8.25, the current quo tations. Off-grade steers sold at $7 to' $7.50 and fancy light-weight veal stock found buyers at $9, the top quo tation' for the past month. On the whole the cattle market appeared to be steady in tone. In the sheep division there was a .generally easy feeling, in part due to the slackness of the demand and in part to the poor quality of a good deal of the mutton stuff now corning. One small bunch of mixed sheep was dis posed of at $4.25 and lambs averaging 67 oounds in weieht. sold at $6. The hog market showed a little im provement, the best offerings early in the day going at $9.10, a nickel above yesterday's ,extreme figure. Other good-grade lightweights sold at $9 while heavies went at $8 to $8.75. LeightonV Garag Phone Main 737. 1311 Washington Avenue. We have your size in U. S.

"Trailing and Camping lu AIusku," A. M. Powell, a govern ment surveyor, tells uow one of his party wsr led Into a most hazardous, predicament. He says: We landed on a grassy nook nt the foot of a precipitous mountain spu.r. After supper one of the trio tried to climb to a ledge of white spar that could be pJUiinly seen from the camp. After an hour's hnrd work he reached the ledge, but It proved disappointing. He then saw that he could not de scend without eyes lu his toes. If he could aaceiul a few hundred feet be might lower himself dowii a draw by tiio e!i 2$ scattering alder brush. He spent another "hour Tn" getting to that place only to discover a precipice in the path be bad expected to descend. There was another chance left; he might climb to the top of the spur far above. No living man could have elurig to the face of that precipice a 'minute if it had not been for the moss that was rooted in the small crevices. He cuutiinied climbing until . abouf 10 o'clockt when he paused to look lown'on the campfire and the water, niore than a tbousaud feet below him. lie felt a sickness come over him, so he turned his gaze to the rock wall, a foot from his face. When near the summit he found him self fHfe to face wljjj. a perpendicular wall about twelve feet 'high. There appeared to be a small bench on top of thjs waH, on which he might rest i? be could reach it. He sat for a few moments on a large roCk that lay nt the foot of the wall; then with his knife he cut, niches for finger and toe holds. Holding on by these he climbed up and dug a sorj of trench through the moss on the rim above, through which he might draw hts body. Then he descended to the rock for a long rest before making the final effort He finally nerved himself to the task, put his fingers in the nielios and drew himself from the rock which, with the pressure of the departing foot, said goodby and went bumping down, down.

Half of his body finally rested on the edge, while the other half hung In space without a foothold. It seemed impos sible to move rrom that position until he saw an aider stem, an Inch In diam eter, that had grown on the little flat bench. He tried Its strength. It en abled 1dm o pull himself up nnd lie on the narr. w bed of moss, where he thought of friends far away and his own folly. There was but one way out and that was nlons a six luch shelf abdfot 100 feet to the westward that ended on the sloping rldfje Along this a man could odjre bis body by holding on to the jngi;ed places In the rock wall. He took off his shoes nnd set off nlonc that sloping path, but he had to be careful not to look down from his dizzy height to the distant ciimpflre. The feat was accomplished safely nnd n thankful mortal lay on the green ernsxy rldse In complete collapse, nis aneroid barometer recorded 2.110 feet nbove the sea. and bis watch told him Hint it whs Imlfmist 12 In the niornim' WANTED Girl for general house work.'
