ERA CLUB OUTING
"ENJOYABLE TRIP UP THE COLUM
BIA TO ONKOVTA GORGE.
Snap Shots at Old Lnndmarks-Snc-
eessfnl Condition of the Club,
Financially end OthervrJsc.
Everyone of the 472 Camera Club en
thusiasts who spent yesterday snapping
their kodaks at the crags and water
falls and fish-wheels and enrapturing vis
tas of sun-lit hills of the Upper Col
umbia voted that it was an ideal day
lor a club outing. Certainly Dame Na
ture seemed to smile approval upon the
enterprise. The clouds took on their
Bofteet hure of gray and rosy pink, and
there were such entrancing lights and
shadows on the earth below as to drive
the most blase fairly wild with delight.
To be sure, about noon the sky squeezed
out somo dozen or so drops of rain. Just
enough to raise a frightened chorus of
"Ohs!" and create a mad panic for um
brellas from such as were on the hurri
cane deck; but It did not take long for
everybody tc realize that this was noth
ing but a merry little joke on the part
of Mother Nature.
7h Camera Club had arranged to have
the new ""Harvest Queen" for the occa
sion, but as It was found that her en
gines were not yet In a condition to be
used, at the last moment, It was neces
sary to substitute the R. R. Thompson.
This was comfortably filled with club
members and their friends, who
.found themselves provided with all that
they could wish In the way of conven
iences and creature comforts caterers
who served anything from a cup of coffee
and a sandwich to ice-cream soda; a
darkroom for developing negatives, a
popcorn man, a photographic plate-man.
who was In great demand about sun
set time, and a practical demonstrator
to answer questions. Pray was there
anything more for which reasonable peo
ple could ask?
Of course, the 300 cameras were snapped
at all the old familiar landmarks. Castle
Bock, the Pillars of Hercules, Cape
Horn, and Multnomah Falls, and there
was a great deal of merry contention for
the prizes offered by the club ?5 for the
best picture taken on the trip, and $2 50
for second best, no conditions being at
tached. At Multnomah Falls, where they
arrived at 2 o'clock, after a run of five
hours, a stop of half an hour was made,
and after the gay swarm of "scene
Bhifters" had all had a chance to turn
the button on the SO0 feet of tossing
spray. Miss "White retaliated by taking
a picture of them, the whole brave array
of them, on board the boat.
Here some excitement was engendered
by the fact that a small contingent of
a dozen or so enterprising members un
dertook uic feat of walking a race with
the boat to Oneonta Gorge, two and a
half miles away, a hazardous task, when
the speed of the D. P. Thompson Is con
sidered. After going half the distance
they saw the folly of their venture, and
turned back. Meanwhile the boat, steam
ing on its upward course, was unable to
effect a landing at Oneonta, because of
the low water. As the hand of the
watch by this time pointed to 4 o'clock,
and after the excursionists decided to
turn back on the homeward Journey, it
was Incidentally discovered that somo
valuable members of the party were miss
ing, and as it did not ?eem exactly prob
able for them all to havo tumbled over
board, a committee of investigation was
appointed, with instructions to land at
Multnomah. There, sure enough, the
dejected company was found, mopping
their brows and planning for the night
on a bed of flr boughs, wrapped in Mult
nomah vapors.
A -conspicuously attractive flag floating
from the bow of the boat Js one of the
latest acquisitions of thr club. It was
made expressly for this occasion, and Is
of white bunting. IS feet long, with a blue
border, and bears the namo of the club
In letters of flaming crimson.
As the Thompson neared port, on Its
homewaru Journey, the passengers en
livened the twilight hour with gay
natchos of song, familiar airs, such as
"Sweet Alice." "My Old Kentucky
Home." and "Suwanee River," Sydney
H"drIH's fine voice leading the men and
Miss Rose d'Almelda's rich soprano, sec
onded by Miss Alice Thayer's, the chorus
of women. The landing at Portland was
effected at S:30. making exactly 12 hours
of art, nature-worship, and Jolly good
fun.
Much of the success of the excursion
was due to Mr. Gavin, the president,
to whose fine executive ability the club
owes so much. D. Ellery. W. S. Macrum
and J. W. Holmes, constituting the en
tertainment committee, and A. E. Mor
ris superintendent of the house commit
tee. wre necessarily strong factors In
making the affair pass off pleasantly.
One of the met energetic workers of
the party In looking after evervbodv's
comfort was Miss Lily E. "White, the
club demonstrator, to whose valuable
service in the technical part of the
irk the club owes its unusually large
increase ' membership during the past
er a gain of over one-thinl. Fully
OJ new members have been added In the
last three months alone, making the
present membership ITS. This has been
the direct result of the regular woeklv
lectures and daily demonstrations of
Miss "White, who began her work In the
club Jut a your ago, at the time the
Goldsmith brothers left for San Fran
cisco. This is the more surprising when
one considers that there have been no
lantern-slide entertainments the past
year, the money going instead for ap

shows the wisdom of thei plan. For
not only is the club treasury In an ex
ceptionally satisfactory condition, so that
the members can almost call themselves
"rich," but the club has become one or
the best equipped, so far as apparatus
and workmanship are concerned, in the
United States, the New York Camera
Club being pefhaps the only one that
cclii'ses it. Meanwhile the remarkable
Improvement in the "work of the members
will be shown at the annual exhibition
in October, which, it is said, will far
outstrip any hitherto given. And this Is
being looked. forward to with much Inter
est by the public at large. The lantern
slide lectures will also be resumed this
Fall, the club having renewed its mem
bership in the International Slide Asso
ciation. CALI FORNIA FOR M'KINLEY.
Representative ICahn Says She Is
Grateful for Prosperity.
Julius Kahn, who represents the Fourth
District of California In. Congress, is' at
the Hotel Portland. Mr. Kahn was the
Republican candidate in San Francisco
in 1S9S, and carried the district by 1700,
although Magulre, Democrat, had been
elected in 1805, by S000 majority. This
revulsion Mr. Kahn ascribes to the cause
of expansion, which he espoused in his
campaign. He will bo nominated in Sep
tember, as no one has decided to oppose
him in the convention, and he prophe
sies that California will give McKinley
15,000 to 20,000 majority this Fall.
"The people of California," he said last
evening at the Portland, "realize that
they owe their prosperity to the aggres
sive policy of the Republican party, and
they are going to stand by that party.
Four years ago, McKinley carried the
state by a small margin, all except one
of the Republican electors beirig chosen.
Since- then California's trade has in
creased wonderfully with our new pos
sessions in the far East, and our people
do not like the Idea of sacrificing this.
Besides, we are shipping enormous quan
tities of dried fruit and other products
abroad, and our people are enjoying un
usual prosperity. Think of an invoice
of 7000 pounds of candy being shipped to
Manila, of trainloads of dried fruit being
sent to Germany, the home of the prune.
This Is the way our trade Is growing,
and the general Government has spent
a very large amount of money In San
Francisco, In purchases of Army pro
visions and in shipping troops to the
Philippines."
Mr. Kahn does not think an extra ses
sion of Congress will be called on ac
count of the China imbroglio, but If It
is, he Is willing to vote men and money
to protect our citizens In any part of
the world.
'Heretofore an American citizen who
was abused in one of those barbarian
countries," he said, "has been obliged to
apply to the Consul of some European
power for protection. The United States
Is amply able to protect Its citizens in
foreign lands, and in preparing to do so
makes the Nation a 'world power,' I am
willing the "United States shall take
her place as a world power."
Mr. and Mrs. Kahn are taking a trip
North by way of vacation. They will take
in the cities of Puget Sound and follow
the Canadian Pacific as far as Banff, re
turning to San Francisco early In Sep
tember. Business Before Pleasure.
Corvallls Times.''
A married woman cannot file on a
homestead, but a widow can, and there
by hangs a story. Flora E. Floyd, aged
42, an estimable Alsea widow, and J. "W.
"Webber, aged 50, of Lincoln County,
married In Corvallls "Wednesday.
The wedding was nearly two weeks
behind time. The original date set was
July 2L On that date the prospective
bride and groom came to Corvallls to
Join their fortunes. They applied to the
Clerk's office for a license. They then
learned that a married woman could not
file on a homestead. On a handsome
quarter section of vacant land In Aisea
Mrs. Floyd had her eye. TO file on It
was a part of her errand to Corvallls.
To marry and to file at the same time
was impossible. If she got the quarter
section she must get it as a widow. One
job or the other had to be temporarily
postponed. It was a struggle between
love and land.
The land won. "I can get him for a
husband any time," said Mrs. Floyd,
after a short deliberation; "but I can only
get the land now." So the wedding was
postponed. The filing was made, and
when the proper papers establishing the
lady's right to the quarter section ar
rived, the ceremony was performed.
Stephens" Addition Sine "Won.
An interesting game of baseball yester
day afternoon, between the Stephens' Ad
dition and Columbia nines, resulted In a
victory for the Stephens' Addition tean
by a score of 16 to 13. The game is the
first of a series of three matches to de
cide the championship team. Up to tho
seventh inning the score was close, and
the Columblas" were picked to win, but
heavy batting turned the tide against
them. Catcher Slavin's clever back-stop
work, Patterson at short and at the bat
and French's excellent fielding were the
features of tho Stephens' Addition nine's
play. For the Columblas Stutt put up
some star work at short, and kept the
crowd in a, roar by his coaching. "White
head captured every fly that came to cen
ter field. Gardner played an excellent
game at second, and at the bat sent out
two three-base hits wh'en runs were
needed. The game was played on the
Portland field. East Side, where the sec
ond game will take place next Sunday
afternoon.

New York Journal of Commerce.
The educational value of the new 2 per
cent bonds ought to amount to some
thing, but these securities will be held
largely by banks, and entirely by person:,
and corporations that do not need to
learn' the alphabet of sound money. If
the legal-tender notes were to be in-
scribed with a declaration that they were
redeemable in gold dollars of the weight
of fineness pro ided by law at the time
the new act was passed, the educational
value of the stipulation would ba greatly
enhanced. A great part of the currency
consists of silver certificates, which le
cite upon their faces that they are re
deemable in silver dollars, and these sil
ver dollars retain their legal tender qual
ity. Not much has been dona yet by
Congress or the Treasury Department tor
the financial education of the public,
and most of what has been done has
been admirably clculated to teatch the
public what isn't so. So meritorious an
act as tho resumpt'on of specie payments
and so wise a policy as the maintenance
of silver dollars at par in gold, has taught
millions of Amcr'cans to suppose that
the value of a currency does not depend
upon the material it Is made of, but upon
the edict of the Government. This Na-
tion has been teaching 'fiat" money while
upholding the integrity of tho currency.

JEFFERSON
FOR ASCEXT. OF THE MOUNTAIN.
The Mazamas have had experience In past years climbing snow peaks and glaciers, but
Mount Jefferson Is the first rock climb they have ever attempted. The fact that compara
tively little snow fell on the mountain last Winter makes the climb still more difficult. The
ascent up to Pinnacle Rock, however. Is not exceedingly steep. Two hundred feet from the
summit the ascent becomes more preclpltlous and almost perpendicular. In 1837, when
Judge Burnett and Mr. Roblln climbed the mountain, they left a rope hanging from the sum
mit of Pinnacle Rock, by aid of which the ascent could be easily made. This rope. Is now
gone. When the Mazamas reach Pinnacle Rock, tho most experienced members of tho
party will attempt to scale the steep sides, and let down roues for the assistance of thfr
remainder of .the climbers.
A necessary adjunct to a mountain-climbing trip is lacking In this year's equipment of
, the Mazamas a plane table, used in surveys, with a compass on one side and parallel
sights on the other, whereby an exact map of the country tra-veraed can be made. The
loan ofisuch an article would be greatly appreciated, and If left today at 'Bernstein's, art
store would be received In time for use on the trip.
