SIXTY STRONG AT OUTSET Will Be Joined by Xarge Crowd at Seattle, ' and After Day at Bell Ingham Party Will Leave for Foot ol Mountain. The Mazamas will be off tomorrow night 60 strong, for their annual mountain out ing, leaving Portland on the 11:45 north bound train. Mount Baker, the ultimate object of their trip, will not be reached until next Friday evening, the party hav ing accepted invitations to be the guests of Bellingham and other Sound cities en route to their destination. Baker with Its three peaks looks an easy object to the enthusiastic mountain climbers from this end of the route, and all members reel confident of being able to make the ascent without any inconvenience. Arriving in Seattle Wednesday morning the Mazama party will be augmented by a number of Tacoma and Seattle mem bers. No time will be wasted in Seattle, as all of the party are familiar with that city, and at 9 A. M. on the morn ing of arrival they will go by steamer to Bellingham, where they will be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce all day Thursday. A number of short trips about the beautiful bay have been ar ranged and they will be given oppor tunity to see all of interest in that lo cality. Here there will again be addi tions to the party. Tramp From Glacier to Mountain. Friday morning a special train will take the mountain climbers to Glacier, the terminus of the railroad, arriving there at 10 A. M. Wagons will be In readi ness to convey all baggage and camp equipment up- the trail, but the outing will have fairly begun at this point and the big party will scorn anything so citified as conveyances and will tramp the 12 miles to permanent camp. This Initial tramp is always an enjoyable fea ture of the Mazama outings, for It gives the first glimpse of the section which is being visited, and affords many varied views of the mountain which is the ob ject of the climbers. Frequent stops are made along the trail to examine the many beautiful scenes, the gorgeous wild flowers, and the binoculars are always busy examining the crevasse glaciers and high cliffs of the snow-covered peaks. Knickerbockers and alpen stalks are brought into use on this occasion and the real enjoyment of mountain life ac tually begins at this juncture. Chef Wepton m-ill be in camp and have a fine hot dinner awaiting the tired but happy party on Its arrival. This Is the third season that Weston has accom panied the Mazamas, and his famous cooking has made him an Invaluable ad junct to the annual camp. By furnish ing their own commissary the Mazamas have overcome the difficulties which were experienced in former years, when meals were furnished by contract. "When we do our own buying," says E. P. Sheldon, of the outing committee, "we can get the best of everything and have it prepared just to our liking. Every thing but fresh vegetables and meat is now at the camp, and we expect to live on the fat of the land while we are there." Outfit Suggestions for Novices. Members of the party who have never attempted the ascent of snow mountains are warned to take especial care In out fitting. It io a camping trip, and per sonal baggage should be as light as pos sible, but suitable to the occasion. Women should have a good tramping suit of denim, corduroy or other strong mate rial, made with very short skirt and bloomers. There should be one pair of strong, well-fitting shoes for tramping and climbing, having heavy soles and hob nails In the heels. A tighter pair to wear about camp will be found restful to tired feet. Tramping shoes should be thoroughly broken in before the outing. Broad brimmed hats (the farmers' straw hat Is a good one) and a piece of fine mesh mosquito head net or a veil and serviceable gauntlets are necessities. Gog gles or smoked glasses are worn on the climb to protect the eyes from the glare of the sun, and the face will burn and peel unless well protected with grease paint and powder, or something similar. A red veil is recommended, as it pre vents sunburn or tan by eliminating the actinic rays of the sun. Every climber must have an alpenstock and a canteen, and any member appearing without these necessities will not be allowed to make the ascent with the party. Storage and emergency tents and sleeping tents for the women will be provided by the club, but all who have tents are requested to take them along. Surgical supplies will be supplied by the club also. Outing to Last Three Weeks. On account of the wonderful scenery and the many places to be visited In the vicinity of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan, it has been decided to make this a three-weeks' trip. If there are persons who desire to make the ascent of the mountain but eannot remain away from business for the entire period of the outing, they can make arrangements for a dally rate, by conferring with the com mittee. No one will be allowed in camp excepting those who have seen the com mittee and paid their fees in advance. A regular mall service will be estab lished between Glacier and the camp, and the main camp will be in constant communication with the outside world. All letters and papers may be addressed care Mazama Club, Glacier, Wash. All persons who desire to do so may participate upon registration and pay ment of the fees, but membership in the party does not imply that one must climb the mountain; neither does it imply a right to participate in the ascent of the mountain in the absence of qualifications, but those who wish to join the climbing party will have ample opportunity to qualify by taking the side trips from the main camp. It Is to be distinctly understood that the club assumes no responsibility for saddle animals. Misunderstandings have arisen in the past because this regulation has been overlooked. The pack train and the accommodation of walkers are the sole considerations, as far as the club is con cerned. The committee has no objection to having members of the party procure saddle animals wherever they can, but It must be understood that the care of such animals must be provided for by those procuring them.

IF SOME ONE should tell you that there was a human being In Portland who did not understand the meaning of the plague-expression "23," you would un doubtedly form an opinion that your In formant was flighty. Perhaps it would be nothing out of the ordinary to discover a man In remote districts, where transients are few and far between, who does not understand "23," but right here In Port land, where "23" is so common that It seems as though the very birds sing It It is hard to comprehend that there is a person who had never heard it until yes terday. And who could It be? Some one who works all day underground isolated from other persons and who Bleeps all night? No. Some one who is deaf and dumb? No, again. Would you believe' that It could possibly be Nathaniel K. Clarke, room clerk at the Hotel Portland, who meets and converses with hundreds of persons daily. Mr. Clarke may know what "23" means by this time, but when last seen he was inquiring of every one be met of the meaning of the mysterious word. But those he met thought he was only Joking or was endeavoring to "sell" them, and from the latest accounts they withheld the precious information. "Twenty-three for you," remarked a gabby traveling man to Mr. Clarke yes terday afternoon, in an attempt to be humorous. "What's that?" eagerly questioned the wiseacre (hotel clerks are supposed to be up on all such things). "Twenty-three for you," reiterated the drummer. "Speak English and let me know what you are talking about," pleaded Mr. Clarke, whose curiosity was aroused. . "Don't you know what '23' means?" "No, I don't know what '23' means." And then the traveling man laughed, and he laughed hard, too. While he was laughing Mr. Clarke was busily engaged inquiring about "23." And he was given the laugh all around, because everybody thought he was joking, but he was really sincere. Some persons who know Mr. Clarke can readily understand how he has missed "23." He is such a sympathetic, easy-going and kindly sort of an individual that few people ever spring such things on him. Instead, they pour forth their tales of woes, and they always receive sympathy, but he is not one of those kind of men you would want to spring the "latest" upon. So his friends have agreed to forgive him provided he can find out what "23" means without offering a re ward for the much-desired information.

COMPANY POSTS E SCALE re 1 Carries Out Promise Made to Carmen Before . Vote on Strike. UNION TO BE DISSOLVED Leaders Will Oppose Step, but Action of Employers Indicates That Organization's Life Will Be Short. Now that the strike cloud has been dis sipated, the Portland Railway Company has fulfilled its promise of a readjustment of the wage scale. Yesterday a new schedule was posted at all the car barns to become effective August 1. The new scale is identical with the one adopted by the O. W. P., announcement of which was made Thursday prior to the mass meeting of the carmen held early Friday morning. Following on the heels of the announcement of the new wage schedule comes the persistent report, and one that is not without foundation, that the union of the carmen is' to be dissolved. The offi cers of the union, together with promi nent labor leaders, will hold a meeting tonight to decide the fate of the organi zation. - The maximum compensation for the carmen per hour remains 27 cents, the same as the schedule now in effect, but the length of service to receive advance ment in wages is materially shortened. The new scale is: 23 cents per hour for the first year; 24 cents for the second year; 25 cents for the third year; 26 cents for the fourth year; 27 cents for the fifth year and thereafter. The schedule now in effect is: 21 cents per hour for the first six months; 22 cents for the second six months; 23 cents for the third six months; 24 cents for the fourth six months; 25 cents for the third year; 26 cents for the fourth to the tenth year, after which 27 cents is allowed. The new scale results in a considerable Increase of the payroll, and immediately affects a large number of the employes. Under the new schedule a carman will re ceive the maximum pay, after five years, whereas under the present system he would have to be with the company ten years. For the third year the men receive 25 cents under both the old and the new schedule. The fact that 23 cents is to be paid for the first year means much to the new men, as under the old schedule 21 cents is being paid for the first six months and 22 cents for the second six months. News Hailed With Joy. wnile not unexpected the announcement was hailed with delight by the employes of the company yesterday. , The union men are claiming a partial victory and say that had it not teen for their or ganization that there would have been no Immediate change In the wage sched ule. While they bitterly bewail the out come of their attempt to force the com pany to give them recognition, they view the situation in an optimlBtic light and the readjustment of the wage scale gives them some little consolation. . On the night of July 18, when the re cent agitation was on, a committee com posed of non-union men called upon Vice President and General Manager Fuller of the Portland Railway Company and he promised them a change. Owing to the unsettled condition he stated that he was not in a position to make any definite announcement, but assured them that the change would be made not later than August 1. His promise, coupled with the adoption of a new schedule by the O. W. P., is what shattered the union and re sulted in the walkout being voted down Friday morning. "We claim a victory In the new wage scale and we are not feeling as blue as we might," remarked President Nels Sor enson, of the union, yesterday afternoon. "We were fighting particularly for the new men because we believed they should have better pay at the inception of their service, and that they should not have to work too long to obtain the maximum. Of course we didn't get all we asked for, but the company has given us something." That was all that could be elicited; from President Sorenson. In answer to a ques tion he stated that a meeting of the officials of the union would be held to night, but declared he knew nothing of the Intentions of that body. The regu lar meeting night is Tuesday, but this will be a special session. Vice-President Fuller conferred Satur day night with the same committee of non-union men with whom he had met July 18. He informed the committee that the new schedule would be posted the next day and the members departed sat isfied. Those who composed the commit tee and who represented every division of the company were: L. A. Davis, Wood lawn division; Arthur Molesworth, Washington-street division; Alexander Aitken, Savier-street division; C. J. Anderson, Piedmont division; A. H. Maurier, Fifth street division, and J. J. Tichenor, Ank-eny-street division. Now Faying Good Wages. "We pay extremely good wages because we are . now experiencing particularly prosperous times in Portland," said Vice President Fuller yesterday afternoon. "We pay more than the companies do in Lob Angeles, Spokane, Tacoma, Seat tle or Victoria. When the committee called upon me the first time I informed the members that we would make the change, but gave them nothing definite. Now they appear to be satisfied and we expect no further trouble." It is probable that at the meeting to night complete dissolution of the union will take place, or that it will cease to be an active organization and will be allowed to remain dormant until the union advocates think they are sufficiently pow erful to force recognition. They are loath to disband, but It Is more probable that some action of this nature will be taken than a decision to keep up an active or ganization. The meeting of Friday morning was a body blow to the union and naturally greatly weakened it. Since then some of the strongest and most influential of the union have left the company and during the last days of the agitation not a few of the members turned in their cards. The union men fully expected to carry the day and they would have done so had they stood together as they ex pected. MHwaukle Country Club. Eastern and Seattle races.

OTHERS WANTED REWARD Old Line Officers Objected to Inter ference by the Less Experienced Sleuths and Murderer Was Allowed to Escape. Jealousy, forgetfulness, a desire- for a reward and several other things which go to make up the Inside workings of a po lice department, are said to be respon sible for the dropping of the Julius Kuhn murder case, which was supposed to have been a mystery, and is not, but which landed Paul Musa. an innocent man, in Jail. Yet the murderer of the saloon man, it Is said, could be produced If the jeal ousy system did not exist in the police department, and certain officers were given carte blanch to do work on the case without interference from superior officers and detectives, who wish to reap the reward of $500 which was offered by the widow of the dead man, but which officers are not willing to divide. . Because of this jealousy, the murderer oi K.unn is at large, and will remain at large until a truce is patched up and brotherly feeling once more permeates the halls of the city bastile. A Northern Pacific detective, who, as well as the city detectives, wishes to be in on the reward, has said that he can bring men to Port land who will put their hands on the murderer when he is wanted, and the railroad detective goes so far as to say that he knows where the murderer is, but is unwilling -to "turn him up" unless it is satisfactory to all hands around. Kuhn was killed in cold blood by a highwayman last February. The mur derer entered his - saloon on the East Side with the intention of holding up and robbing the place, but became excited when he saw . that the proprietor was about to resist, and shot him dead. After several weeks Paul Musa was arrested by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan, but there was no evidence against him and he was acquitted. On account of the blunders that had been made in the ease Kerrigan resigned from the detective de partment and became a Deputy United States Marshal. Since the freedom of Musa, the Kuhn ease has had the words "unsolvable mystery" written after it, but recent de velopments in the case have shown that mystery is not the case, but jealousy on the part of the officers and detectives of the department- ' When it was known that Kerrigan and Snow had failed to "turn up" the right man, two other detectives went to their superior officer and asked that they be put on the case, saying that they had ob tained Information which would lead to the apprehension of the murderer, and that he could be arrested within a week. A great howl. It is said. Immediately went up from the old line detectives be cause two others presumed to "butt in" on a case In which a big reward was offered. The volunteers say that they did not have the "stand in" that the others possessed. . and were turned down cold for the time being. When they were later asked for information they refused to give it, on the ground that they were not to reap the benefit and glory of the cap ture, but that the information would ba given only for the benefit of others who would be assigned to the case. The detectives, who have become soured at the "system," say that they are still willing to produce the man who killed Kuhn if they are given the right of way and are not interfered with. Only on this ground, however, are they willing to say anything, and they refuse to give information to others which would tend to land the murderer in the hands of the police. It is not so much the reward, they say, but the satisfaction in pitting their skill against the old line detectives that would' lead them to do this. The Kuhn murder case is considered one of the greatest blunders that has been made by the department, and the blunder was made, it is maintained, be cause of the jealousy that exists on all sides.
