RETURN FROM TRIP
Mountain Climbers Reach the
Summit of Mount Hood.
OUTING VERY SUCCESSFUL
Thirty Make the Trip, Some Going
Up the South Side and Part
Up the North Side or
the Mountain.
Throwing Mount Hood snowballs In
Portland streets and signalling with
te.uto whistles that the topmost peak of
Oregon's white-robed sentinel again
had been scaled, some 30 climbers re
turned yesterday in chug wagons from
Government Camp and as many more
by train from Hood River. They
brought back tales of a highly success
ful climb on last Tuesday, without ac
cident save that one member wrench
ed his ankle, while another was tem
porarily overcome by gases at the
crater. -
Professor E. C. Franklin, of Stan
ford University, while searching for
drinking water at the foot of Crater
Bock, encountered a pocket of asphyx
iating gases, chief of them odorless
carbon dioxide, which took hold of
him without his knowing it. He re
vived in a short time and, accompanied
by Professor W. B. Dudley, of Stan
ford University, and Professor O. F.
Stafford, of the University of Oregon,
gained a higher pinnacle of Crater
Bock, where he watched the other
members of the party go on to the
summit.
The climbers were nearly all mem
bers of the Sierra Club, of California,
and the Appalachian Mountain Club, of
Boston, and only three were Mazamas.
Dr. R. B. Knapp, of Portland; E. T.
Parsons, of San Francisco, and Miss
Ella McBride, of Portland.
Two Parties Cllmh.
The two parties were climbing at
the same time, but reached the summit
two hours apart, and so cold was the
wind that the party which went up
from Government Camp, on the south
side, could not wait for the other,
which was ascending from Cloud Cap
Inn on the other side.
Three members of the north side party
descended the south side to Govern
ment Camp, and came back to Port
land in autos. while two of the south
side party went down the north side
to Cloud Cap Inn. The two south side
climbers were Willoughby Rodman, of
Los Angeles, and E. G. Knapp. of San
Francisco, both Sierras, and the three
north side climbers were William E.
Colby, of San Francisco, chairman of
the Sierra outing committee; Russ
Avery, of Los Angeles, and Miss Cora
Foy, of Berkeley. -r
Ascent Is Laborious.
The ascent was more laborious than
usual, owing to the dlmlnshed snow
fields at the base of the mountain. The
great crevasse, near the summit on the
south side had to be crossed with a
ladder, and Gear Rock was rounded
with the aid of an anchored rope. The
north slders used the same kind of
ropes In two places, one of them on
the extreme steeps near the summit.
The south aide party found slippery Ice
near the summit, and could not proceed
until the guide. O. C. Yocum. had cut
steps so as to reduce the danger of a
slip and a dash down the mountain.
Those who climbed to the summit were:

ranire were plainly visible, and .vn
the crest of Mount Shasta, in Califor

The ascent on luesday began from
spot on the snowline, Rainy Camp,
four miles above- Government Camp.
There the company put up Monday
night, without tents, after the auto
ride from Portland.
The trip from Portland on the rubber-tired
wagons was the most enjoy
able part of the expedition. Ten ma
chines went through, seven of them
being of the type known as White
steamers, the others being driven by
gas-explosion engines, one a single
cylinder tonneau Olds, another a two
cylinder WJnton and the other a two
cylinder Ford. A very fast record was
made by a White, driven by Christ
Dundee. The machine left Portland at
2 P. M.. Monday, and arrived at Gov
ernment Camp at 7:30, the actual run
ning time being 5:20. an average of
11 miles an hour for the 58 miles.
All the autos plowed through the
sand, and forged up Laurel Hill, without
staggering. The roads were good, for
the big boulders which used to bestrew
the wagon coure2. nearly all have been
removed or sledged away. The only bz-
rlous mishap came from the WInton car J
striking an obstruction on Laurel Hill I
late at night and losing Its oil supply.
This compelled the passengers to make
camp on the spot and to wait for daylight.
They were Adele Bruner of Corslcana.
Texas; Grace Brlckman. of Stanford; Ju
lius I. Cohn and Melvil S. Nickelsby. of
San Francisco.
Machines Climb Hills.
The White machine? made the best ex
hibition of hill-climblng. J. B. Kelly,
local agent for the Whites, was proud
of the achievement of his cars. At the
tollgate he had placed 100 gallons of
gasoline of which he liberally allowed
to other autos than his own, even when
not belonging to his own party.
The first auto to arrive at Government
Camp was a White driven by M. E. Nor
cross and occupied by Mrs. W. A. Mears.
of Portland; Miss Edna Cadwalader, of
San Bafael; Miss- Lucia B. Thompson, of
San Francisco; Thomas J. Pllklngton, of
Sebastopol. Cal.. and Olcott Haskell, of

(Continued From Page 1.)
The letters sent by Biggs to the land
office relating to the application for tim
ber entrif-s in the 43 different cases al
leged In the Indictment were introduced
as evidence by the prosecution. Judge
Bennett objected to the Introduction of
some of the letters as bearing upon ques
tions not as yet connected by evidence,
but the objection was overruled and the
letters nut on file. Mr. Henev contended
that he would prove that the claims were
taken under contract, that the money was
furnished by Williamson &.
Gesner and
sent by Biggs.
The letters showed that many of the ap

brought out the testimony of the witness
and the fact that the fees were afterwards
returned by the land office to the claim
ants, who turned the checks over to Ges
ner. where they were deposited to his ac
count in tne bank at Prlnevllle.
On the cross-examination, the defense
brought out that as a general rule the
applicant had but little or nothing to do
with the publication of his notice, and

ner. In some Instances tne money had
been nold oorsonallv. while In other In
stances it had been paid by check.
"Did you have any arrangement wnn
Gesner about the payment of some of the
proofs?" Mr. Heney asked. "Yes. Gesner
told me mat some persons were going tu
filo on lands and tret the money of him.
and that if they didn't pay for the notices
he would be responsible tor mem.
On cross-examination, it was nrougnt
out by the defense that the common prac
tice oi tne commissioners na oren 10
pay for the notices, and that the business
was generally handled by them Instead
of by the claimants.
Anna at. Lane, tne present register oi
the land office at The. Dalles, was the !
next witness. She had been a clerk In the
office in IVJ2. and had nanuicd a great

under consideration, as well as the papers
In most of the claims. She Identified the
checks sent to the claimants by the land
office at the time their claims were put
under suspension, as checks sent out by
her. Judge Bennett objected to the In
troduction of the checks as Incompetent
and Immaterial, but they were admitted
by the court.
The Government Introduced a transcript
of the books of the land office as showing
the disposition of the various fees sent In
for payment on the claims In the Indict
ment. This transcript was Introduced as
against all of the defendants, the prosecu
tion contending that it would bo able to
trac the payments shown there to all
three men.
The witness Identified a payment of
$411.80 made by Williamson on June 5.
IMS. She had remembered It because the
monev had been paid In gold and silver,
contrary to the practice of the land office.
Receiver Nolan, who was new In the office,
had taken the money and placed It In the
safe, and the witness had explained to
him that all payments should be made
by check.
On. the cross-examination. Judg Ben-,
nett drew from the witness that the
money paid by Williamson had been tho
fees for his wife, who had taken up a
claim at that time.

account for November of 1902. This month
showed many checks paid, and the tran
script of the following month ihowed that
on December 5 the firm had borrowed
$3000 of the bank. The witness also testi
fied that Gesner nad a personal account,
and It was shown that the returning
checks from the land office went Into Ges
ner's account In the majority of Instances.

that Gesner had negotiated the $3ft loan
and that the note was signed by William
son, Wakefield &. Gesner.
Williamson Borrowed $6000.
Jesse C. Hosteller, the cashier of
French & Co.' BanK. at The Dalles, also
testified. He told of a loan of $500) nego
tiated bv Williamson. Williamson had
said Gesher would want the money, and
the witness told how the loan had been
repaid by checks paid by Gesner. A tran
script of the Williamson account was of
fered, malnlv to show the Item of January
13. 1904. crediting the account with $4il..
the return for the money paid Into the
land office June 3. 1902.
' On cross-examination the witness testi
fied that Gesner had offered Salem real
estate as a security for the loan, but It
had been refused, as the bank did not lend
on real security. The loan had been made
as a personal loan, with Williamson as
the surety for Gesner.
"Do you know whether It was about the
time. Wakefield was going out of the part
nership?" asked Judge Bennett. "Yes. I
think it was about that time," said the
witness. "They were buying one man
out."
'Was anv of the money checked out to
Wakefield?' asked Mr, Heney. "Not that
I know of." ,
Charles A. Bell. County Judge of Crook
Countv. was asked by the prosecution to
establish the financial standing of the
various claimants who had taken timber
land upon the solicitation of the defend
ants. The witness stated that a fe"w of
them had means sufficient to tAke up a
claim without borrowing the money,
though the majority did not.
The witness also testified that William
son had come to him In the hotel at
Prlnevllle and had asked him why Ges
ner had not given him some of the work
to do. He had made some remark about
Gesner's never knowing his friends, and
had said that he ought to have given the
work to one of his own political faith.
The witness had said that he was glad of
it. and that he did not want that kind of
work, anrwav.
Didn't Williamson ask you if Gesner
. had given you any of his legal work?" '
i asked Judge Bennett, on cross-examina-i
tlon. "No. sir; it didn't impress me thut
way.
"You don't remember the words legal
business being used?" "No. sir. The char
acter of the business was not referred to
in any way."
"You and Biggs are not very good
friends?" "There has never been any
thing on my part."
"You succeeded him as County Judge?"
"Yes. sir."
"You ran against each other?" "He
ran against me. I got the nomination
first." . .
"There has been bad blood between

Floyd A. Rowell was a bookkeeper for
J. F. Morris, a merchant of Prlnevllle.
and told some of the financial secrets of
the claimants mentioned In the Indict
ment. Some of the claimants would not
pay their bills at the store, and but few
of rftem had sufficient property or means
to file upon a piece of land and pay the
fees without borrowing the money.
Arthur Hodges had been In the general
merchandise business for several years,
and knew something of the financial
standing of the people of Prlnevllle. He
also testified that many of the claimants
were not able to file upon claims without
assistance in paying the fees.
Horace T. Jones, a special agent of the
Government, was the last witness of the
day. and his testimony closed the Gov-
ernmenfs case. He had made a plat of
me lands Deanng on tne case, as well as
of the sections leased the company by the
Wagon Grant Company. The plat was
Introduced by Mr. Heney for use In argu
ment before the Jury.

bers of Congress, and It was annoiced
that Senator Bailey, who had beei ex
pected to attend the convention, hai been
suddenly called to New York.
A telegram from the Arirona Statehood
League was read, extending greetings and
expressing opposition to the omnibus
statehood plan. This was greeted with
cheers.
After the evening recesy the committee
on resolutions presented its report, signed
by every member. Reading of the re-
iport was frequently Interrupted by ap
jplause. particularly the reference In the
piu-eamble to the desire that Oklahoma
