M'NULTY IS AROUSED
NAVAL RESERVE OFFICER IS
WRATHY AT SCHOOL BOARD.
He Declares Janitor of Building De

Services Than Agreed' TTpon.
"Public-spirited men bearing tbe com
missions of the Governor of Oregon aa
the legally constituted body to defend
the Uvea of the people of this state have
been grossly insulted and baselesely lied
about through the Instrumentality of the
School Board of the City of Portland and
its subordinates. Ita subordinates princi
pally, aa the Board itself must act upon
the statements of Its subordinates," said
John McNulty? commander of tbe Ore
gon Naval Reserve.
Mr. McNully declares that the whole
trouble arose when be refused to pay the
Janitor ti a night for his services. Fifty
cents a night, he says, was finally com
promised upon at a conference at
which School Clerk Thomas said that
the Janitor wsv entitled to 15 a night.
Commander McNulty takea the position
that he waa given tbe right of access
to the school building by the Board of
Education and consequently should not
have had to deal with tbe Janitor. He
believes that this collection of money
by the Janitor was beyond that person's
authority. Like George S. Shepherd,
captain of the Reserve, he denies each
of the chargea preferred against his men.
Mr. McNulty concluded his statement
by saying:
"'Many of our men hold university de
grees. Others hve medals of honor for
brilliant service in West Indies, China
and the Philippines. Many have honor
able discharges and good conduct medals
from the Federal and state govern
ments. It is a base libel to say tbat
these men. serving without a cent of
pay. are too crude and boorish to occupy
the basement of the Lincoln High School,
whose guardian is tbe Janitor."

Next Summer's Excursion Will

Those Who Have Seen Alps Say
Group Surpasses Switzerland
Heights Professor Lyman
Recounts Beauties of Trip.
At a special meeting of the executive
council of the Mazamas to determine
upon the snow-peak which shall be vis
ited for next Summer's outing, it was de
finitely decided to make the ascent of
Glacier Peak in the Chelan . region of
w asningion. next August, xne cmri ic
son for settling upon this peak is the
exceptional grandeur of the scenery that
encompasses It. combined with the fact
that It Is practically unknown, a virgin,
untraveled Switzerland.
Glacier Park, which is about the height
of Mount Baker, approximately 10.000 feet,
is the' center qf the most magnificent
glacial system In the United States.
From its mountain heights, no less than
400 snow-peaks can be seen at a single
glance. The view Is said to surpass that
of the famous Khigl in Switzerland.
A. S. Pattullo, of this city, who Is
familiar with the Swiss mountains, vis
ited the Chelan region with a small
party of Mazamas several years ago,
making the ascent of Mount Sahale, a
neighboring peak, the view from its sum
mit being more inspiring, in his opinion,
than any to be found in the Swiss Alps.
The upper waters of the Columbia
River, which flow through the Chelan
country, traverse a mountain region of
Incomporable grandeur and beauty. Prob
ably no other river in the world can lay
claim to scenery of such sublimity and
varied loveliness. Yet tew, indeed, are
those who have visited it and become
acquainted with its marvelous glacial
lakes, clear as crystal, mountain parks,
i . i . nrra mnsKV rlpnf! and
dashing fern-embowered waterfalls.
Lyman Describes Heights.
Professor W. D. Lyman, of Whitman
College. Walla Walla, who is a member
of the Mazama Club, visitesj this -region
at the same time as Mr. Pattullo. and
has given a vivid picture of Its wonders
In his book, "The Columbia River.
Professor Lyman says:
We had thought that the Columbia
was clear, but we did not then know
what clear water really was. When we
reach the mouth of Chelan River we
know. Wo see a streak of blue cutting
right across the impetuous- downflow of
the river. As we push our way Into
It we discover that it is so clear as to
make little more obstruction to the view
of rocks and fish below than does the
air itself.
"This transparent torrent is the outlet
of the lake. It is only four miles long
and descends SSn feet In tbat distance.
It furnishes 125.000 horsepower at low
water. In skiffs well laden with pro
visions and ammunition wo set forth on

this rocking on the glassy swell: this
starll't sky which is our only roof; this
murmur of cascades falling from the
bluffs: this trolling for five-pound
trout; this disembarking on some rocky
point and climbing a granite pinnacle
from which a perfect mate of moun
tains, streams and forests, lies ex
tended below.
This is one of the deepest canyons
on earth. Not such another furrow has
Time wrought on the face of the West

Over a mile and a half of vertically!
This surpasses in depth Tosemite, Yel

Colorings Are Beautlfnl.
"For Immensity, for a certain chaotic
sublimity, for the r'ch and sombre
grandeur of the purple snd garnet,
dusky and indigo-tinted shore views.
Chelan surpasses any of the others,
while in its water views such color
ings and such blcndings, light-green,
ultramarine, lapis lazuli, violet. Indigo,
almost black audi light and shade,
sea of glass mingled with fire," where
every cloud in the changing sky and
all the untold majesty of the hills find
their perfect mirror, all hues and forms,
a Kaleidoscope of earth and heaven,
bevond imagination to conceive .or pen
to "describe, or brush to portray in U
this Chelan is without a rival.
"The chief point on tho lake for
photographing, hunting, fishing and
climbing. Is Railroad Creek, 50 miles
up the lake. Railroad Creek comes from
the , 'Roof of the World,' having its
source In the very heart of a great
group of glaziers. It descends probably
6000 feet in 26 miles. It is swift! The
fury with- which It hurls logs and even
boulders down its cataract bed is fairly
appalling. The very earth quivers be
neath Its flail-like strokes.
"The sunset effects looking up the
lake from Railroad Creek are mar
velous, though, alas, the cool black

few transcendent moments fills the
mighty canyon 'bank-full' with ' such
radiance that one might think It the
grand gathering place of all the rain
bows of earth. From the floods of glory
there falls into the lake a seeming rain
of pearls and rubles, barred with stripes
of gold and crimson.
"The entire Chelon region, for an
area of probably 10.000 square miles,
is perfectly gridlroned with canyons.

association, surpass, and some say, do
not equal this crowning glory of our
great Nortnwesi state.
Great Mist Arises.
"Four miles up the Stehekin we reach
Rainbow Falls, heralded by distant gusts
and eddies of mist, which at first seem
to be from woods on fire. But a dull
roar, a harsh rumble, then a lighter
splash, and we see that what at first
bad seemed smoke eddying out of the
canyon wall is the mist driven before
the gusts created- by the falling torrent.
With a few more hurried steps we find
ourselves before a fall 350 feet high. Its
clouds of spray swirl like a thunder
shower, drenching the rocks and trees
far around. - Picking our way amid the
pelting mist to the top of a slippery
hillock from which we can look right
down into the very heart of the fall,
ii, see, swinging against the mist a per
fect rainbow, a complete double circle, a
blaze of luster. The bridge of Iris or
Helmdall. we say but no; it is no more
a bridge, it is a perfect circle, the sym
bol of eternity.
"Imagine a park of four or five thou
sand acres set with grass and flowers,
fillet with ice-cold streams of water,
clear as crystal and dotted here and
there with trees of the most exquisite
beauty. On every side except the one
down which the creek descends, stupend
ous, glacier-crowned and pinnacled peaks
penetrate the blue-black sky at an ele
vation of 10,000 or 11.000 feet. At the
south side of the park lies Glacier Lake,
a mile long and half as wide, margined
with vivid grass, brilliant flowers and
trees of the Alpine type, clear as crys
tal, unless darkened by some sudden
scud from the heights.
"Divide" Is Thrilling.'
"Passing west of Glacier Lake through
the enchanted North Star Peak, a ver
itable land of Beulah, we climb 1000 feet
higher and find ourselves at one of those
thrilling points in the mountains, a 'di
vide.' We are on the crest of the Cas
cade Mountains. To the east the water
flows to Lake Chelan, thence to the Co
lumbia and thence to the Pacific by a
journey of 600 miles. To the west the
water descends through the Sauk and
the Skagit to Puget Sound, only 150
miles away. This pass is almost always
wrapped in clouds and it is fittingly
known aa Cloudy Pass.
But the greatest sight, the crowning
