Portland, Oregm. j News-Letter from Editor Gray Continued (rom First Psge He was accompanied by Oscar Hyde and family. Mr. Noble spent the night here and next morning left for the valley. Clarence Rice crossed the moun tains in a single rig. Jack Curtis, Stanley Smith and Prof. Ogden are here spending their vacation. Jimmy Allen and John Dell were here also taking the baths. Dell left with John Templeton the first of the week for big game in the country to the south of us. They had a full equipment of pack horses. J. B. Bell and family passed the night here on their way to Eugene They intend to camp here on their return trip. Mr. and Mrs. Horney of Metolius are camped here, together with Miss Horney, a sister. Messrs. Staats and Hunter of Bend with their families pitched tents at this place the first of the 'Week. In all there are about 150 people here. Prineville supplying more than any single town. Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Stewart, C. M. Elkins and family, Ross Robin son, Omer Claypool and wife and many others are expected here be fore the first of the month. Fishing was good a few weeks ago before this tented city became bo thickly populated. Then you could sit in your front door yard and catch all the trout you could use but now its different. Good catches are made but you have to .go farther. Last Sunday a fisher man came in with forty beauties. He caught them in Lost creek, about six miles from here. Mrs. Clow, of Roseburg, wears the championship belt for landing the largest fish. It was a Dolly Varden that measured 204 inches in length. Many trout measuring 18 inches have been caught. Twelve and fifteen inches seem (o be the average. Some beautiful, great big red sides have been brought in. Jack Curtis has been voted the booby prize at the fish game. After eeveral days of hard work he caught one about the length of your finger. Oscar Hyde comes in every day with good catches. He is using grasshoppers, but grampus and angleworms have their advantages. Trout are not biting well and have to be coaxed. Its experienced fish ermen that get the string. Talk about the prince of good HEALTH PAST FIFTY Careful diet Is of utmost Importance to men and women past fifty years of age; it keeps up their strength, and the oil food in Scott's Emulsion is a nourishing food, a curative medicine and a sustaining tonic to regulate the functions. It contains the medicinal fats of pure cod liver oil and science proves that they furnish twice as much energy as other foods then too, it creates pure blood, sharpens the appetite, relieves rheuma tism, strengthens the body and alleviates the ailments due to declining years. Scott's is free from wines, alcohol or harmful drugs. Beware of substitutes. fellows you can find them right here in Oregon. One lives at Cor vallis. His name is M. II. Bauer. He came to the rescua of three families at great inconvenience to himself and his own family. Mr. MeCord, the Portland lumberman, had his Pierce-Arrow temporarily put out of commission. The steer ing gear failed at a critical point on the summit; one of the front wheels ran over the edge of a 50-foot em bankment before the machine could be stopped. In the car were Mr. and Mrs. McCord, their two daugh ters and chauffeur. The Bauer car with the Gray family, found the McCord party gathered around a camp fire on the summit without anything to eat or sleep upon. With the McCords were Major Von Eggloffstein and family who were traveling in a Ford. Nobody "seemed to know what to do but Daddy Bauer. He alone was equal to the emergency. Supper was soon prepared and served and a family bed made out of the Bauer tent made all comfortable for the night. First on the snoring line came the Bauers, then the Grays, next the McCords and then the Eggloffsteins. It's a two-to-one bet that the angels abo-e thought there was an awful hullabaloo on the summit that night. Next morning the Pieree-Arrow was repaired, the overloaded Gray car returned to Sisters and a hack loaded with the dunnage to be taken across the mountains. In time everything was straightened out and everybody was happy. 'Trimitive Man" Fad to be Tried on Grizzly Under an agreement entered into by and between two of Prineville's most prominent and popular young men, we are to enjoy the excite ment of a Joe Knowles "primitive man" stunt, as contracted for by the local enterprising Commercial Club. Two young men, claiming to be in a very much "fitter" condition than Knowles, have promised and agreed to divest themselves of all outer and inner garments at 3:30 a. m- next Saturday morning and enter the wilds of Grizzly Mountain, to return fully clothed and provided for in one week's time. They will not be allowed to make a fire even by unknown or primi tive means, but will be expected to obtain and devour such food as might be available for a primitive man without using modern methods. One of the young men is a much despised collector of bad bills, while the other is simply a curly headed clerk in a Prineville department store. Their names are withheld for obvious reasons. Should star vation or serious accident overtake them in their venture their names will be published. Meantime a hush hangs over the city as to their iden tity and probable fate. It is hoped by our citizens that some serious accident will occur in order that the names may be divulged.
