Ascent of Mo-ant Hood or Castle RocU a Picnic Compared "With Regu lator Exploring Expedition. The Regulator exploring party returned to Portland last night on the Shaver, after three days' hard climbing among the mountains of the Upper Columbia. Two jjaces -were visited Archer Mountain and precipitous cliff on the "Washington thore of the river, -which the exploring party calls the Bridge of the Gods, be cause they believe it to be the spot re ferred to in the -well-mi own Indian legend concerning a bridge .across the Columbia. The task proved to be a more difficult one than was realized at the start, par ticularly the latter half of it. "The climb up Castle Rock is a picnic compared with that up the Bridge of the Gods." said Caprain Smith, of the Regu lator line. "1 can go up Mount Hood in one-half the time it takes to ascend the Xridge of the Gods." said George M. "Welster, and every one else in the party furnished similar testimony. It will be remembered that! the party left Portland at 11 o'clock Sunday night en the Regulator. At 4 o'clock the next n.ornlng they were put off at Butler'a Landing, "Wash., near Castle Rock, walk ing about four miles to Archer Moun tain. :iear the base of -which they break lasted in tho open. Another short pause -was made at the place of F. R. Archer, -whose land extends well up on the fide of tne mountain. From this point they took the trail up to the summit, "W. R- Mc Cord being the guide. The famous Indian mounds, about half "way up the side of the mountain, were visited and searched for relics, but though the loose rocks were dug up to the depth of several feet, noth ing was found that would give any clew to the uses to -which the Indians put these strange hillocks of stone. They still re main as remarkable a puzzle as ever to antiquarians. At 10 o'clock A. 2iL the top of the moun tain was reached, C. J. Church being the first of the party to arrive. AV. R. Mc Cord, the guide, utter getting the climbers -vell started on the ascent, had dropped lack on account of a lame foot The views from tne summit was grand beyond words to describe, the Columbia River running its zigzag course 2500 feet below. "Unfortunately the view of distant moun tains was obscured by the smoke. An interesting discovery was made by C. J. Church, -who found a hot spring, the temperature of which was judged to "be about SO degrees. The water stained his hands yellow, and the weeds that grew near the water's edge were also stained the same color, from which it was surmised that the spring contained sul phur. AH hough white men have been traveling past this mountain, and hunters visiting it for about 40 years, this spring was never discovered till Monday of this week. Between 5 and 6 P. M., the party arrived at their resting place for the night, the home of T. F. Ievens, owner of Castle Rock, near which they had landed that morning. Altogether they had walked about 15 miles during the day. Tuesday morning, "bright and early, six members of the party--Captain Frank J. Smith, George M- "Weister, M. L. Miller, C. F. Sutton, C. J. Church and C. H. "Winnett started out for the Bridge of the Gods, having, as they supposed, about 20 miles hard walking before them If they should succeed in making the moun tain and returning to Castle Rock that night, as they wished to do. Otherwise, they would either have to go down to Moffett Springs for the night, four miles away, making the descent over the most dangerous side of the mountain; or, fail ing -this, sleep out in the open, without blankets. The route -was entirely unknown to every member of the party, the country a track less -wilderness, and there -was no guide obtainable. The outcome, therefore, was viewed with some concern by those lert behind. The expedition of the day before, hard as it was, proved to be an easy one compared -with that of the second day. Much of the way was a very jungle of brush and tramble. Miles of broken ridges and jutting pinnacles had to be crossed before their destination was reached. 2sTot a human being was met in all those lonely miles, and considerable suffering was ex perienced for lack of water. A danger ous precipice, 1000 feet down to the moun tain slopes below, marked the end of their journey. Tuesday night -was spent blank etless, around a. campfire in the depths of the woods. Yesterday morning they Teturned to Castle Rock in time for a good breakfast at Mr. Levens' place, C. J. Church making his sixth ascent of that dangerous peak, and the 9-year-old son of Captain Smith going up as far as Devil's Ledge. The party then took the home boat for Port land. Concerning the so-called Bridge of the Gods, M. L. Miller, of the Columbian Field Museum, Chicago, whose opinion, by rea son of his scientific training and large ex crience. is considered of great weight in these matters, holds that so far as he has had a chance to observe, there is not sufficient evidence to prove that there was ever a natural bridge across the Colum bia River at this point. This opinion is at variance "with that of other members of the party, and of .many people in "Wash ington and Oregon. The question is one of much Interest and Importance, and should be carefully looked into by ex perts in this line of work. It is a matter that will require much study and Investi gation before It can bB satisfactorily set tled. Meanwhile It must be frankly con ceded that the result of the present ex ploring expedition does not bring forward any new evidence to justify any general faith in the old Indian legend that there was once a natural bridge across the Co lumbia River. PASSION PLAY A SUCCESS. Taylor-Street Clmrcli Crowded and Several Hundred Turned Away. "The Passion Play," in moving pictures, which was given in Taylor-Street Church last night by means of the Edison bio graph, drew a large and appreciative house. By S o'clock every available seat in the main auditorium, was filled and no more tickets were sold, so that several hundred people were turned away. Twenty-two scenes were thrown upon the screen, and those who had seen the play as produced at Oberammergau pronounced the reproduction last night as real and sublime as the original play given by the religious peasants of Bavaria, who are trained and educated all their lives for the characters they are to represent. The scenes particularly impressive were the 'baptism in the River Jordan, the raising of Lazarus, in the court of Herod, the trial before Pilate and the crucifixion. "The, Passion Play" will be repeated to night in the same place for the benefit of those who were unable to gain admis sion last night, and in addition there will be more than 40 pictures from "In His Steps" thrown on the screen, besides sev eral pictures from the Spanish-American "War. Horse Had Xot Been Stolen. Charles Schwind, whose grocery store was burned out on Hawthorne avenue, be tween East "Water and East First streets, was startled yesterday morning when he went to feed his buggy horse to find the animal gone. He had put him in his stable under the buildings on Hawthorne avenue Tuesday night, and he at once concluded that the horse had been stolen. Schwind thought it was mighty hard luck. He had been burned out. and now h!s horse was stolen. He called up police headquarters and left a description of the missing ani mal. He made search, himself around the neighborhood and inquired of every one for the horse, but found no trace. Finally a friend asked him if he was sure that the horse had been stolen. Had he not loaned him to some one? Schwind scratched his head a moment and then exclaimed: "Mine Cott, my frynt Paul Poirer has the horse. I loaned him the horse last night." Schwind telephoned Poirer and found that the latter had come early in the morning and taken the horse away. AFTER ROADHOUSE-KEEPERS Several 3Ien In Eastern Multnoxnnli Newly Indicted. District Attorney Chamberlain has pre pared additional information against the keepers of roadhouses at various points in tho eastern part of Multnomah County for selling liquor without license. The of fenders are: A. J. Miller, keeper of the Twelve-Mile House, on the Base Line road. Ross Larson, keeper of the roadhouse on the Sandy bridge. Joe Holder, keeper of a house on the Powell's aVlley road. "William Grimes, on the Base Line road at Montavilla. H. Snyder, Montavilla. Max Ruhle, keeper of the Ten-Mile House. Larson, Miller, Holder and one Latourell were arrested in May on this charge, and their cases are still pending. They are said to have continued to violate the law all Summer, and the others mentioned likewise. Besides neighborhood trade, they do a good business with bicyclists, and also serve meals as well as drinks. The District Attorney signifies his inten tion of compelling them to close their places or pay the licenses. The penalty for violating this law is a fine of not less than $200 for each offense. It is reported that the Twelve-Mile House, kept by Miller, was closed last Saturday in re sponse to a warning, but the others are still running. Some of the men have been located in their present places for years. They all pay the United States internal revenue license, because they are afraid to get into trouble with Uncle Sam, and have evaded payment of the state license law under the pretense that they do not sell liquor or beer by the drink, but only in quantity. If they can establish such fact then there is no ground for complaint, but contrary assertions are made. This Gnme Was "Hish." H. C. Brandos appeared in the Municipal Court yesterday on a charge of having pheasants in his possession. Game "War den Quimby captured the bird several days ago in Brandes' restaurant. It had been dressed and so was devoid of feath ers, but Mr. Quimby was positive it was a Chinese pheasant that had been killed within a few days. At the trial yesterday a brother of Brandes testified that he had killed the bird near "White Horse Rapids as he was coming to Portland from Daw son on the 23d of August. He said he salted the game to keep It until he ar rived here, seven days afterward. "It Is not a Chinese pheasant," he averred, "but a Yukon ptarmigan." Mr. Quimby scouted the idea of the bird be ing anything but a genuine Oregon-raised pheasant, and he based his opinion on 40 years' experience in the game business. "There was no salt on the bird when I captured It out of Brandes ice chest," he said; "neither had it been killed long enough to admit of its being brought from "White Horse Rapids." The bird was brought into court in evi dence and the smell caused the spectators to hold their noses while the package was being unwrapped. The Judge took the case under advisement until today. Chnrpred "With Intrusion on a Ship. C. Colefelt and F. Heinrlch were ar raigned in the Municipal Court yesterday for unlawfully boarding a ship in the "Willamette River. Captain "W. Shotton, of the British steam freighter Oceano, said the defendants had boarded his ves sel to entice his sailors off, and that they used vile language on his ordering them away. He followed them to the wharf, where he collared the men, but Colefelt drew a pistol and pointed it at him in a threatening manner. The two men were held, however, until the police came and took them to the station. Colefelt said he had not been on board the ship at all when accosted by the cap tain, and that he was merely passing along down by the North Pacific mill dock when he saw some friends and stopped to talk with them. The Deputy Prosecuting Attorney characterized the defendants as "cattle," from whom the ship captains visiting Portland should be protected, as Colefelt had visited the ship to get the men drunk and entice them away. More evidence will 'be introduced this after noon. Court Xotes. Tho First National Bank of Rock Springs, "Wye, has sued T. J. and P. J. Gorman in the State Circuit Court to re cover 53564 due on notes executed at Rock Springs in February, 1S95. An attachment suit was filed yester day by George TV. Holcomb against R. "W. Thompson and Louise H. Thompson, for 51200, balance due on a note. The original amount of the instrument was 52338. A lot In Hart's addition, and part of block 299, East Portland, was attached. Holcomb has also sued Thompson for 5625, due on a note. J. V. Creighton yesterday filed suit against the Oregon & Oriental Steamship Company In the State Circuit Court to recover 5795, alleged due as wages and for moneys advanced while acting as agent for the company at Hong Kong. Creighton alleges that he was engaged in October, 1900, by R. A. Graham, of Marsh field, who was the president of the com pany, to go to China, and among other duties hewas to solicit freight to be sent from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Japan and the Philippines, and was to receive 5150 per month. The company, he avers, broke the contract by neglecting to pay him his salary for a period of four months, and he threw up the job and came home. The Sheriff was instructed to garnishee moneys due the company in the hands of the Portland Flouring Mills Company. BACK FROM BUFFALO. A Few Timely Suggestions From a "Wide-Awake Business Woman. Mrs. S. Silverfield has returned from an extended trip to the East. "While in New York she selected an Immense quantity of goods for the suit department of the establishment. Mrs. Silverfield visited the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo and was de lighted and surprised at the variety and excellence of the exhibits. The Oregon exhibit Is very fine and receives un stinted praise from all spectators. Mrs. Silverfield suggests that Oregon elder ought to be sold at the exhibit At the California booth grape juice, orangeade and a number of tempting drinks are re tailed and attract crowds that would not otherwise pay much attention to the ex hibit. All of the commissioners from this state are working hard to advertise Its resources and are always willing to give any Information desired by visitors. Sev eral people spoke to Mrs. Silverfield about the 1905 exposition at Portland, but the majority of the people had not heard about? it. She suggests that all business houses and individuals should use every known means to advertise the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Grand Excursion to Cnstle Rock.

HARD TO GET ONLY SIX COUNCILMEX ATTENDED YESTERDAY'S MEETING. Chief of Police Ordered to Clear the Obstructions to Traffic on North, Front Street. Six members a bare quoram of the Council showed up yesterday afternoon to handle the business that had accumulated since the previous meeting. For a while it looked like no quorum, but Fred Mer rill arrived in time to save Mayor Howe's reputation as a prophet. Branch, Bron augh, Merrill, Holbrook, Nichols and Walker were the members on hand. Mr. Holbrook called attention to the demoralized condition of North Front street in the vicinity of the lumber mills, and thought that City Engineer Chase should be Instructed to report what can be done and submit an estimate of the cost. Mr. Bronaugh said he should ap pose any action on the part of the city until the mill-owners show some disposi tion to co-operate by removing the ob structing piles of lumber. In parts of the street it is Impossible for one team to pass another. On Holbrook's motion the Chief of Police was instructed to clean the street. Sidewalks for Park Blocks. At the request of several Councilmen, City Engineer Chase' submitted an esti mate of the cost of east and west side walks for the park blocks. It aggregates $921 90, itemized as follows: fell feet 6-foot walk at 30c 5252 30 170 feet 12-foot walk at 60c 102 00 72 feet wooden crosswalks at 30c. 21 60 72 feet stone crosswalks at Jl 7-00 504 feet artificial stone crub at 35c. 176 40 2976 square feet stone walk at 10c 297 60 Total ?921 90 Accompanying the estimate was the fol lowing statement: "The repairs suggested will put the walks in fair condition. Some of the park block walks are in good con dition, but nearly all of the curbs are In bad order, partly on account of old age and partly on account of the growth of the curb line trees, which has pushed the curbs out of line and uplifted them. I would suggest that the city sell its pop lar forests to some wood dealer. If all other curb line trees could be disposed of In the same manner it would be an ad vantage to the streets and sidewalks." Permission for a Rifle Range. The Portland Rifle Club asked permis sion to build a range on the old West End baseball grounds on the Grover tract. It will build a 200-yard range alongside and within 20 yards of the National Guard Range. The Councilmen granted the priv ilege. Streets, Sewers nnd New Ordinances.
