SALT LAKE CITT. Aug. S. The first
day of the 43d National encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic found
30.000 veterans and visitors quartered In
this city.' with the prospect of having
their number increased to 50.000 by next
Monday morning. Drum and fife corps
parade the streets today, and at the vari
ous headquarters bands furnished martial
music Many belated trains arrived to
night and the problem of caring for their
passengers was a serious one.
A reception in honor of Commander-in-Chief
Novius and the officers of his staff
was given by the Women's Relief Corps
tonight at the rooms of ths Commercial
Club. Three thousand guests were pres
ent. Storm Spoils Spectacle.
The outdoor spectacle for the evening,
the parade of the W izard of the War and
his wards, was prevented by a heavy rain
storm, which burst over the city Just as
the procession was forming. Within a
half hour the downpour ceased, but the
decorations had suffered serious damage.
Hundreds of yards of bunting were dis
colored and thousands of flags hung limp
and watersoaked.
Indications are that St. Louis and At
lantic City will warmly contest for the
encampment of 1910.
for commander-in-chief. ex-Governor
Van Sejit, ' of Minnesota, and W. L.
Ketcham, of Indiana, continue to be the
active candidates.
Prisoners of War Meet.
The first formal gathering was that of
the Union prisoners of war who met In
the Federation of Labor hall at 10
o'clock. The National executive commit
tee of this association met at the head
quarters of the commander this evening.
There Is a magic about a five-pointed
bronze star suspended by a tiny flag from
a bronze bar, which opens every door to
Us wearer, clears his path In a dense
crowd and wins for him anew the hom
age that may have been forgotten at
times through the lonf; years. As he
boards a streetcar the magic emblem
makes him invisible to the conductor;
should he travel to the lake or other re
sorts the star blinds the gatekeeper and
the ticket taker to his presence.
SAND ISLAND IS GOLD MINE
Two Claims Filed On at Month of
Descbntes River.
THE DALLES. Or.. Aug. . (Special.)
Two notices of location of mining claims
were filed with County Clerk Angle today.
The claims are located on an island near
the mouth of the Deschutes River. Hugh
Ritchie files on 20 acres in the name of
the Red Wing Placer Mining claim, and
Emma 8. Ward files on 10 acres In the
- name of the Columbia placer claim.
The Island contains 60 acres during low

claim assays 60 cents gold to the yard.
RECORD CLIMB IS MADE

Other points visible were Sedro-Woolley.

Vancouver and Victoria. B. C, the Cas
cades and British. Columbia mountains to
the north. Mount Shuksan, Baker Lake,
Baker River, Boulder Creek, the north
fork of the Nooksack. the Skagit River
and the old Mazama camp of '06.
All five members of the party returned
by the route of ascent taken by the first
tiro, which they say la far better scen
IcaUy. Craters Still Spouting.
Examination of the two craters shows
that one spouts intermittently at Inter
vals of about one minute, while fumes are
constantly arising from the other. Sul
phur crystals are In abundance around
the craters.
Still another party offazamas. com
prising the larger numoer. started out
from Camp Gorman at 10 o'clock last
Friday morning and took a side trip to
the Demlng- glacier and pushed on beyond
It up onto the Immense snowflelds of the
southern slope of Mount Baker. The five
members who were climbing to the sum
mit were in plain view of the rest most
of the time with the naked eye. appar
ently scarcely moving until they went
over the Immense dome. Soon they ap
peared again, returning at a rapid rate
as they coasted down the slope, stopping
now and then to round a crevasse.
Great Glacier and Snow Fields.
The others met the party of five at an
sltitude of 7600 fee and then returned to
the camp, going In a southeasterly di
rection and crossing many crevasses of
various widths and lengths. The entire
party crossed the glaciers feeding th,e
Baker River, and also the Demlng glacier.
The Mazamas found these snowflelds
the most extensive of any they ever
have traveled. Mr. Loomis. of Port
land, who has climbed the Alps of
Switzerland and Italy, says there is
nothing to compare with these snow
flelds in this type of glacier, the Dem
lng glacier being of a distinctly Alpine
type.
The field Is about three mtlos In ex
tent around the southeast base of the
secondary peaks of Mount Baker, and
extends down the slope for a distance
of two or more ml lea. At places it is
all broken up with numberless cre
vasses, both open and blind, and In oth
ers there are places where It Is possi
ble to coast almost a mile down the
sleep slopes.
Other Parties Climb Butte.
The party covered about seven miles
over the snowflelds and Is in fine trim
for further climbing. The weather ex
perienced so far has been ideal, the
sun shining every minute of the day.
Another party of nine surveyed the
butte over to the southeast of the
camp and midway between the south
and middle forks- of the Nooksack.
They reported such a magnificent view
of Baker. Shuksan and the surround
ing valleys that another party of 20
took the same trip later.
Still another party left Friday morn
ing on a two days' fishing trip to the
south fork of the Nooksack. camping
there over night, and brought back an
Immense suply of fine trout.
In his record trip of Sunday to the
summit Mr. Sholes left camp at :53
A. M., spent half an hour on me oum
mlt and got back at 12:40 noon, with
out having taken either solid or liquid
refreshment on the way. Another
party of 10 started out Sunday morning
to climb to the summit, but had not
returned when Mr. Sholes left camp.
He left this city tonight for Portland.
The first party of the Mazamas leav
ing Belllngham Wednesday reached the
permanent camp at noon Thursday.
This party conissted of Miss Elizabeth
David. Miss Katherine Hayek F. W.
Beneflel. C. W. Whittlesey. E. H. Loo
mis, Walter Armstrong and Dr. Akin.
The distance from Pearson's home
stead to the Meadows was chained oft
and found to be 64 miles and a few
feet. The trail is In excellent condi
tion, and there is the finest of forest.
On the trail from the homestead to
the permanent camp several streams
were crossed, two of which were named
Glle Creek and Rankin Creek, after
Miss Eleanor Glle and Miss Anna Ran
kin, of the club.
Demlng Trail Is Best.
Secretary John Lee, of the club, says
the Deming trail Is the best trail to
the mountain peak he has ever seen.
The last one and one-half miles are
over steep grades, but unusual judg
ment has been shown In making the
switchbacks, which, together with the
soft, springy soil, makes it very easy
of ascent. Although the party was
above the snow line, the sun shone in
a way to remind one of Arizona. The
mountain goats, after taking a good
look at the advance party, took to the
tall timber and are hiding among the
crags and glaciers of the Sisters peaks.
About a mile below the permanent
camp the Mazamas found several Alas
ka cedar trees eight feet in diameter,
breast high. The botanical name of
this species is chamaecyparis nootkat
ensls, and a tree of this species over
three feet In diameter Is rare:
