Iqr mountain climbing," said a member
of'thfe Beffulator exploring party, to hla
comrades, as he trudged galy along the
Tough mountain road near the end of a
35-mUe walk. This aptly expressed the
spirit of last week's expedition. Footsore

(soles and outstaring toes from unkind-

"backed", they might be, under the load of
"blankets harnessed to their shoulders,
rfrom .'sunrise to sundown, or from the
-staggering weight of a 25-pound camera
-outfit. But these discomforts merely fur
niahed a target for jokes which whizzed
about one's ears thick and fast.
.Aroher Mountain, a visit to which occu
3pled the forepart of last week. Is com
paratively easy of access. The county
x-oad, "tfjich at this season of the year is
4a excellent condition, runs to its bae,
a distance of about four miles from the
Columbia. As 'one Is put off from the
Jboat at Butler's Landing, about 4 o clock
in the morning, the noisy swish of the
steamer's wheels, the rumble of the ma
chinery, the jingle of the bells, the thump
of the great logs of wood In the engine
room below, the calls of the deck hands,
are suddenly exchanged for a silence as
lonely as vast. The gleam of the moon
light dimly shows the outline of river
Ibank and mountain-buttressed sky. The
road takes one Into the forest. Glimpses
of glancing water are to be caught here
and there through the trees, together with
new and unfamiliar views of Multnomah,
Horsetail Falls, and Oneonta Gorge,
-which are directly across the river from
Archer Mountain. The mystery of night
slowly gives way to daylight, and with
at thoughts turn In very practical fashion
to breakfast. This takes place near the
base of the mountain, where a spring of
pure water flashes forth from the hill
side. Bacon held on a stick over a roar
ing campfire, even though there may be
-30 other relish to go with it than plain
torcad and coffee. If eaten in the full
splendor of the rising sun makes a meal
lit for a king.
The mountain takes its name from F.
JU Archer, whose land runs upon the
-mountain side. He lias as picturesque a
cottage as any artist could wish to see,
set in a tangle of honeysuckle, wild cher
xles, apple and plum trees, with trellised
srape vines sending out long tendrils to--w&rd
every passer-by. Here blankets,
luncheon and other baggage may be un
loaded and safely left behind. A short
jifid easy climb brings one to the Indian
mounds, about half way up the southern
elepe to the summit. This Is the dumping
ground of the mountain. A huge cliff,
bare and bleak, towers up in a straight
line several hundred feet toward the
sky. Acres of loose, rolling rocks and
pebbles He at Its base. Here the frowning
mountain, in grim humor, throws stones
at itself. But it is easy to see that the
hand of man has also had a part In the
wild play. The whole place looks like
the ancient cemetery of some forgotten
race. The mounds face toward thej-iver.
They are arranged in set rows, trenches,
and winnows. Here and there, square
and round hillocks of stones are thrown
tip without regard to the points of the
compass. Altogether there are between
20 and 30 mounds, but farther on around
a spur of the mountain are other groups
xf these mounds. The order and regular
sty with which thej' are placed, leave
a profound impression upon the obseri'er,
and this is deepened when one is told that
directly across the river a neighboring
mountain has a similar collection of
mounds, which also face toward the
river. The idea that the place Is a great
graveyard is hardly acceptable, owing
to the fact that nothing has ever been
found burled under any of these hillocks;
neither human bones, nor bow and arrow,
nor any other relics of a bygpne age.
Another theory is that this was at one
time a great battle ground of the Indians,
the trenches and breastworks being
thrown up as a cover behind which they
could shoot poisoned arrows at their foes.
Sail another explanation is that the place
was a hunting-ground, the mounds being
used as places of concealment for shoot-
lng at the elk and bear that used to
abound in that region.
After leaving the mounds it Is something-
of a hard pull up the latter half
of the mountain. Skirting the cliff one
keeps well to the left, making the ascent
by the middle ravine of the eastern slope.
The dense brush, which was waist-high,
happened to be very wet at the time the
Hegulator exploring party made the
enmb, which resulted in drenched cloth
ing. In some places the only way one
could get past a precipitous rock was to
be pulled up strong leather straps. But
these difficult spots may easily be avoid
ed, by a little care in selecting the path
of ascent. There is no real trail.
After the white buckberrles, hazel and
dog-wood, have been left behind, the
golden rod makes its appearance, acre
after acre of yellow bloom flooding the
entire mountain top with its glory. The
summit was reached by 10 o'clock. It
broadens, out Into far-reaching meadows
which ond abruptly h the south, in two
dangerous cliffs overhanging the Indian
hunting grounds, a dizzy distance below.
These two cliffs are far removed, one
from another, and give the mountain a
savage and threatening aspect, wholly
different from the gentle curves present
ed to the eye on the side toward the
river. After enjoying the splendid pano
rama of mountain range and river gorge,
stretched out before him, the climber may
slake his thirst at a spring of sparkling
water on the summit. Nor should he neg
lect on the way down to find the warm
mineral spring discovered by C J.
Church. The oat.'utting rock that forms
the apex of the mountain is pierced in
very curious fashion by a circular hole
that is said to be about S or 10 feet in
diameter. It Is in an Inaccessible spot,
. but may be viewed from below.
There Is probably no ipore familiar or
cherished legend in the entire Northwest
t, than that relating it the Bridge of the
Gods. "'Everywhere along the mid-Columbia,"
says F. H. Balch, in the preface
to his well-known book on this subject,
"the Indians tell of a great bridge that
once spanned the river where the Cas
cades now are, but where, at that time,
the placid current flowed under an arch
of stone; that this bridge was tomano
wos, built by the gods; that the great
spirit shook the earth, and the bridge
crashed down into the river, forming the
present obstruction of the Cascades. All
of the Columbian tribes tell this story,
iln different versions and in different dia
lects, but all agreeing upon Its essential
features as one of the great facts of their
past history.
" 'Ancutta (long time back),' say the
Tumwater Indians, 'the salmon he no
pass Tumwater Falls. It too much big
leap. Snake Indian he no catch um
fish above falls. By and by great to
manowas bridge at Cascades he fall In,
dam up water, make river higher all
way up tOf Tumwater; then salmon he
get over. Then Snake Indian all time
catch Tim plenty.'
" 'My father talkL one time, said ah
old Klickitat to a pToneer at White Sal
mon, Washington, 'long time ago liddle
4oy, him in canoe, his mother paddle,
paddle up Columbia, then come to to
manowos bridge. Squaw paddle canoe
under, all dark under bridge. He look
up, all like one big roof, shut out sky.
no see um sun. Indian" afraid, paddle
quick, get past soon, no good. Liddle boy
no forget how bridge look-'
"Local proof also is not wanting. In
the Fall when the freshets are over and
the waters of the Columbia are clear, one J
going out in a small boat just above the
Cascades andlpoklng down intothe trans
parent" depths," can" see submerged forest
trees beneath him, still standing upright
as they stood Before the bridge fell In
and the river was raised above them.
It is a strange, weird sight, this, forest
beneath the river. The waters wash over
tfie broken tree tops, fish swim among the
leafless branches; It is desolate, specter
like, beyond all words."
.The.dlzzy cliffs on either side .the river,
which have given rise "to the tradition,
He In what is practically unexplored ter
ritory. The only trails are those made
by bears .and other wild-animals. Rumor
says that one of these bearfralls on the
verge of the precipice is a foot and a half
deep. The same bear hunter Tvho tells
this story testifies to seeing four bears
at one time on this mountain, Into the
very heart- of this savage and inhospitable
region, where the earth withholds even
water from thirsty man, the Regulator
explorers determined to go, bent upon
wresting from Nature some proof either
for or against the ancient tradition that
there was once a natural bridge across
the Columbia.-
Leaving Turner Lev-ens' place, between
6 and 7 o'clock, the six men Captain
Frank J. Smith. W. L. Miller, of the
Columbian Field Museum, Chicago;
George" "M. Welster, photographer; C. F.
Sutton, C. J. Church and C. H. Winnett
turned In to "the county road, which they
traveled a short distance eastward, then
struck a trail which brought them to a
cabin in the woods, four miles from their
starting place. Taking the trail again,
they walked half a mile farther, up to
their ankles In water, over marsh and
soggy ground, till they came to a hunt
ing lodge. A few minutes' walk brought
them to a steep hill of loose dirt, a 2C0
foot climb. A blazed trail on the top of
this foothill extended for about a quar
ter of a mile along a hogsback. then ab
ruptly ended, leaving the explorers only
about five miles on their way, each one
an entire stranger to the region, without
gun, compass or guide.
From this; time on they were compelled
to blaze their own trail. One peak after
another was climbed, which slowly
brought them higher and higher. Broken
ridges, from 100 to 200 feet, had to be
crossed. To the east the mountain
became a sheer precipice of a thousand
feet or more. Progress was slow, owing
to the numerous pinnacles that had to
be ascended and descended. ' Walking,
moreover, was difficult because of the
loose stone. When one stone was touched
it would start thousands of other stones
rolling. The brush soon became so dense
that the only possible way to get through
It was to get down on all fours and force
their way through like bears. Under
brush three feet high, mingling with
vine maple, hazel and trees, from 200 to
300 feet high, made an Impenetrable
thicket.
It was at this point that the first mutiny
occurred. Thoroughly exhausted with the
terrible . strain of pushing their way
through what appeared to be an endless
jungle leading nowhere, weakened by the
cruel pangs of hunger and thirst, one
man declared that unless they found wa
ter a team of oxen could not drag him
any farther. "And even at that mo
ment," he concluded as he told the story
24 hours later, "we were only 500 feet
from water."
"But they were perpendicular feet," In
terposed Mr. Miller with a dry laugh.
Everyone agreed that no burro could
be made to go over this trail, because
of the danger from rolling stones. "At
one place you have to hold on with your
teeth," said Captain Smith, laughing. At
4:15 the summit was reached, and 43 min
utes' rost was enjoyed. Some Idea of the
height of the precipice, which Is about
one and one-half miles long on the river
side of the mountain, may be gained from
the fact that a stone let fall from the
summit, being timed by a watch, took
eight seconds to fall. Even when allow
ance Is made for the time required for
the sound to reach the ear, this would
indicate a great height. If the exact
weight of the stone was known an ac
curate estimate might be made of the dls
tande. The entire ridge was likened to
a ball cut In wo perpendicularly on one
side and sloping on the other. The square,
flat summit of the mountain was judged
by George M. Weister to be between 6000
and 7000 feet in height, about equal to the
timber line of Mount Hood. All agreed
that the mountain stands about four and
one-half miles from the river. Between
is a stretch of low land, dotted with lakes.
The Cascades Locks are almost directly
below. Off to the southeast, across the
Columbia, could be seen Mount Hood,
looking from that distance almost on a
level with the observers. Mount Adams
was northeast. A little south of eas,t was
Moffatt Springs, four miles away in a
straight line. Bunchgrass grew on the
summit and southern slope. It was
so slippery that in climbing one went up
one foot and down three feet .This served
the men to good purpose, however, In the
descent, as they were able to coast down
a distance of 700 or 800 feet, and if they
had not been both hungry and thirsty,
would have found it great sport.
At 15 minutes to G water was found,
the headwaters of Cedar Creek, which,
further to the south, flows into Hamilton
Creek. Up to this time they had eaten
nothing, for fear lest Is should Increase
suffering from thirst. A hot hunt for
the trail they had blazed that morning
then ensued. Darkness was coming on
rapidly, the air was chill, and without
blankets the night was sure to be cold
and cheerless. Just as daylight vanished
the trail was found, but It was then too
dark to see a foot in front of one. Every
step had to be jealously watched, for fear
they would go astray. Match after match
was lit, each man hugging a tree and
feeling around In the darkness to find
out which way the trail went. When
the hunting lodge was at last reached,
itw as christened Camp Salvation. A
fire was made and lots were drawn as
to who should sleep Inside. Luckily It
fell to Captan Smith who, lamed In one
knee, was rather In more need of comfort
than the rest, who. blanketless and for
lorn, shivered around the blazing embers,
with empty pudding pans for pillows, one
eye shut and the other eye open. The wind
blew, and the grass was porous, so no
one caught more than a five-minute nap
at one time.
With daylight they started homeward,
arriving at Turner Levens In time for
breakfast, just 24 hours from the time1
they left. Not one of them returned with
a whole pair of shoes. A photograph of
these, ragged and torn, with flapping
soles, might hai'e told the "whole story
of their tramp. C. J. Church, who had
started out the day before with a new
pair of canvas shoes, was forced to walk
the last few miles in his stocking feet,
carrying the sad-looking relics in his
hand.
M. L. Miller, whose opinion on the
scientific side of the question carries
weight, feels satisfied that the expedition
accomplished what It aimed to accom
plish, viz., an answer to the old conun
drum, "Was there ever a natural bridge
across the Columbia at the Cascades?"
He is convinced that the Cascades were
not made by debris from the fallen
bridge, but owe their existence to the

fact that the bed of the river Is formed
of harder rock at this point than in the
rest of -Its course. A strong argument in
support of his view is that the mountain
they visited, supposed to be the abutment
of the bridge on the Washington side, is
so far away from the river, viz., four
and one-half miles. This brings the two
abutments fully five miles apart. "It
would be hardly possible for a flat bridge
to extend across so great a distance. It
would have "to be an arch, It is con
ceivable that at one time when the Co
lumbia cut through the Cascades, there
may have been a small bridge, but this,
If true, must have been thousands and
thousands of years ago, so long ago that
there would be no tradition of it. The
burden of finding proof lies with the side
that maintains there was such a bridge,
not with those who deny it.
A -Portland man, Clyde Jenkins, who
has just returned from an outing in the
low river land that lies between the
Washington abutment and the river, says
that there are 23 lakes there. One of
these, Big Lake, which is two miles
square,with steep banks like a reservoir,
he maintains, has trout one and a half
feet in length. There are also stone
mounds there, similar to those found on
Archer Mountain. A man 70 years of age.
who has lived ip that region 50 years
and has a squaw wife, furnishes the most
feasible explanation that has yet been
given to account for these mounds. Long
ago, he says, when a young Indian ar
rived at manhood, he was expected to
give evidence of his strength and power
of endurance. According to custom he
went to some high mountain, or other
lonely spot, and without food, drink, or
sleep, he was to gather the loose rocks
Into a pile as high and large as he could
malte it. On the fifth night he was to
sleep, and whatever animal bird or fish
he dreamed of, wa3 to be his "tomano
wos." that would bring luck to him. This
he was riever to pursue, nor was he to
eat it when it had been killed by. others.
Probably no more reasonable or likely ex
planation can be found of the strange
mound3 that until now have pioved so
Inexplicable a mystery to the white man.

Pictures on the Dish Towels.
Good Housekeeping.
A friend who came for a piazza visit
took from her workbag half a dozen
neatly-hemmed dish towels, on which she
embroidered in hasty outline stitch, with
a dark-blue thread, the outlines of varl-
ious utensils, such as tumblers and a
cup and saucer; one had a small frying
pan on it. "Isn't it waste of work to em
hrolder dish towels?" I suggested mildly.
"Not at all. It Is an economy of time. I
have gone through the trial year after
year of trying to make Swede, German
or French girls understand me. One of
the things I could not Impress on their
memories was which dish towel was to
be used for certain dishes. They wiped
my cut-glass with the heavy crash towels
and the frying pan with a glass towel.
One day my little girl brought home from
kindergarten a card on which a cup and
saucer, were sewed prettily. I trans
ferred the pattern to some new dish
towels I was hemming and Johanna took
to It at once. Now I'A'e put emblems on
two dozen, my new supply, and it works
like magic. She dpes not know a tumbler
yet oy name, but she knows Its form."

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. (To the
Editor.) Among the papers of my father,
who died a short time ago, I found the
Inclosed uncompleted letter, evidently writ
ten during a visit he made to Portland
19 years ago. He had formerly lived in
Portland, and always took an Interest In
the town, and the letter was eAidently in
tended for publication In The Oregonlan,
but was overlooked or laid aside and
forgotten.

place In Portland since It was wrlttten,
MINNIE HILDRED.
Portland, Or., Sept. 24. 1882. (Editor
Oregonlan.) The first thing to attract my
attention on landing here a week ago
from the Queen of the Pacific after an
absence of several years was the inade
quacy of hotel accommodations. Owing
to delay caused by our steamer haing
to wait for the tide to enable her to
cross over a sand-bar In the ri'er. it was
nearly midnight before she reached her
dock, and it was only after driving to
.three hotels that I was enabled to ob
tain lodging. I retired mentally vowing
that I would take "mine ease in mine
Inn," and not rise till a late hour on the
following day. My Intentions In this re
spect were, however, frustrated, for at
5 o'clock In the morning I was awakened
by a chorus from the whistles of the
steamboats lying at the docks near by,
which was kept up with 'igor and re
newed with such frequency as to pre
clude the possibility of any one except a
deaf man remaining oblivious to their noise
The intervals between the blowing of the
steam whittles were filled In by still more
discordant sounds which I was at a loss
to understand. In my dreamy half-awake
state I imagined I was once more camp
ing in the gum forests of Australia In
stead of occupying a room at one of Port
land's best hotels. Finally, finding that
I must abandon all hope of repose I
arose, dressed and started out to ascer
tain whence all this unearthly and un
timely noise proceeded.
Imagine my surprise at finding on the
cqrner of the street, a' block distant from
the hotel, a menagerie consisting of two
bearp, a coyote, raccopn, porcupine and
several other animals, and about 100 par
rots, cocatoos and macaws. This collec
tion of birds and beasts which had pro
duced the din which murdered my repose
lined the sidewalk and gutter in front of
a low-grade salopn, the owner of w'hlch
has evidently little, fear of the city author

Flrnt-ClnMN Hotel Needed.
The growth of Portlaand has been very
rapid of late, and the increase in the
A'alue of rea'l estate, correspondingly great.
Evidences of prosperity are seen on every
hand in great number of handsome and
substantial blocks of buildings In course
of erection. The last of the row of old
wooden shanties which a few years since
disfigured the business part of the city
fr.ont has disappeared, and been replaced
by spacious and handsome structures
of brick and Iron stores, and In many
places additional stories are being added
to buildings, shoAvIng that the business
men are trying to keep pace with the
progress of the times. But for some rea
son there has been no Improvement in
the line of hotels. There are here four
'hotels, each bf which was first-class In
Its time, but all of which, though com
paratively well kept and furnished, fall far
short of what Is demanded by a city of
the size and Importance of Portland at
the present time. A hotel suited to the
wants and requirements of the city, and
placed at a distance' from the annoyances
incident to a location In the vicinity ot
the wharves, will proA'e a good Invest
ment. The subject. I am informed, has been
talked over by capitalists here and a
site selected on Fifth street somewhere
near the postoffice, but no active steps
have been taken In the matter as yet.
Of cheaper hotels the city has quite a
large number, but not enough to accom
modate the constantly Increasing number
of mechanics, laborers and emigrants
who patronize them. Cheap restaurants
and coffee-houses are numerous, but out
side of the best hotels, the greater part
of which are conducted on the European
plan, nothing approaching in any respect
a first-class restaurant is to be found in
the city. The market, judging from the
fare at the hotels, appears to be supplied
with fairly good beef, mutton, etc., but
the supply of fish, fowl and game Is not
at all what one might expect to find In
Oregon.
I accepted an invitation from a friend
to take a drive around the city and view
the improA'ements which had been made
since my last Aisit. I find the stories I
have heard of the Increase In extent have
not been overdrawn. Nearly the entire
space from the river west to the hills Is
now built oA'er. and even the hill-sides,
which, a few years since, It was not sup
posed would eA'er be utilized for 'build
ing purposes, are now dotted with dwell
ings, while the summits are held at
funcy figures, and are expected to shortly
be covered with stately mansions. My
friend, during our drive, pointed out with
excusable pride and six public school
buildings ot the city -which are all spa
cious and handsome, and cannot probably
be equaled In any city of the same popu
lation In the Union.
At the north end of the city are a
number of handsome dwellings surround
ed by spacious grounds. In this part of
the city Is also the site secured for the
great Union Railroad Depot, Avhlch Is to
be built at a cost of 51,500,000. The O. R.
6 N. Co.'s road from here to the junc
tion with the Northern Pacific Railroad
at "Wallula is now completed,, the last
spike having been driven on Tuesday last,
hut there Is no sign of wgrk being com
menced on the depot. One of the large
wharf boats used In. the upper Tl'er be
fore the railroad was built Is to be made
into a ferry to transfer trains across the
river, and the huge Alnsworth dock will
be used as a temporary depot. This leads
some who have not implicit faith In Port
land's future to say that the depot will
ne'er be built, hut that upon the com
pletion of the Northern Pacific Railroad
to the Sound the company's offices will
be moved there, and that all the wheat
of Oregon will be shipped from the Sound,
where will spring up the great metropolis
of the Northwest. But a A'lslt to the
great Improvements the company Is mak
ing on the East Side a short distance
down the river Is calculated to give an
other Idea.
A large drydock Is nearly completed,
having a capacity to accommodate the
largest ships, an Immense wharf, over
half a mile In length, Is being
constructed, and on it are spacious coal
bunkers, and will be a huge elevator cap
able of containing thousands of bushels
of wheat. To these and other Improve
ments of the company, to the favorable
location of the city, and to the flush times
always attendant in the construction of
great railroad and other enterprises re
quiring the expenditure of vast sums
of money, does the City of Portland owe
her present prosperity, and not to any
enterprise or foresight of her citizens.
They, howc"er, are not slow to take ad
cantage of the tide In their affairs which
Is leading many of them on to fortune.
The way in which they have advanced the
price of real estate shows them to be
fujly awake to the main chance. The
country for miles around has been, laid
out In town sites and additions,
tracts, etc., lots In which are held a.
prices wjilch are calculated to proA'e profT
itabe to those selling but to pers.

Gang: Talked Into a Hidden 'Phone.
Baltimore Sun.
Washington "The nearest approach to
that story about the man with the tele
phone In his hat which ever came under
my notice," said Chief WUkie. of the
United States Secret Service, "was the
method by which a city 'ring' was broken
up.
"The good residents of the city were
convinced the city was ring ridden, but
were unable to obtain evidence to estab
l.sh the fact. Several professional de
tectives were employed, but se
cured nothing. Finahy the case was put
In the hands of an amateur Investigator,
who soon reached the conclusion that the
meetings of the 'ring' were held In the
office of a lawyer who stood close to the
gang. He hired an office nearby, and one
night when the build. ng was deserted ob
tained entrance to the lawyer's office.
"In the center of the office he found a
large table, and on it a combination pen
holder and Inkstand of elaborate design.
Through the center of the table dlrectiy
under the Inkstand ho drilled a fine hole
and passed through It a small Avlre; under
the Inkstand he placed a minute telephone
transmitter, Avell set In to avoid observa
tion. Then he ran his wire under the car
pet and out the dooor to the next room.
"TJie next day, as the office Avas about
closing, the amateur detective entered it
and managed to tilt the Inkstand on edge
so the transmitter could receive the sound.
That night the ring met and the memhers
took their seats around the table. In the
other rcoom were four members of tHe cit
izens' committee, each with his ear glued
to a rc-ccl-er. That was the end of that
particular ring."
