BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. CAMP RILEY, Monday Night, Aug. 4. If this positively la the last letter this season from tha Mazamas, don't take it that we have been "swallowed up by a crevasse; it merely will mean that the writer has become possessed Of a deadly what's-the-ueo spirit. You really can't convey the situation by words, and an attempt, even, is sickly and futile. Words were made for lesser things, in lesser places, and up here one 1b just silent that is, sometimes. Ws can exclaim over Cook Weston's method of serving young lamb. Sh! We didn't poach it. . A sheepherder. pre sented it after he'd seen No. 34. You know we number for the bigr march up here, and we are enjoying1 the sprinsr lamb, so not a word as to No. 84'b iden tity. She smiled and we ate lamb and w can exclaim over Mr. Yoran'a won derful preparedness when we reached here today, after a march up of 12 miles (by the pedometer). Hourly, almost, we exclaim over the excellent management of the entire out ing committee, composed of 'IV W. Benefiel, H. H. Prouty, W. C. Yoran, of Eugene; Miss Fleming, Mr. L.. E. Ander son and Mrs. Sheldon, who pulls the wires from the Portland Hotel. All these things are in the range of human possibilities, and about . th-em we can talk; but when It comes to. the Creator's part who can say an adequate word? Nature's Beauty Told, Imagine a gradual grass-covered lope with here and there charming flats and hollows, surrounded or half mooned by great black pines or firs, and the old mountain (Adams) loow lng up. white and vast, above us! Im agine a snug little sleeping bag, cud dling down on its pine bough bed, in IZ of these nature-made cribs, with nothing overhead but the stars, and off to the south. Mount Hood, in one of its most picturesque settings! Then, for creature comforts imagine a per fectly equipped cook tent, with modern collapsible stoves, patent cookers and every known convenience for comfort and luxury in the woods. The long table Just beyond is under a pine-bough shelter, and provided with half-log seats. Everything is as slick and clean as a whistle, not a shadow of debree, not a crumb carelessly dropped as a lure to flies. Tents are provided here and there near the groups of sleeping bags, but it is barely likely they will be used save in case of bad weather; every one prefers the open Mr. Yoran has passed a week getting things in readiness. . Comfort Is Unsurpassed. One experienced camper in many climes and camps declared he had never before known such outdoor comfort and convenience. The weather is crys tal clear (I've used "crystal" a lot in these letters, but everything up here Is crystal and I haven t my thesaurus. so what can I do about it?) And what do you think happened Just now as a grand finale? A slender new moon, ah, far finer than you have in town, actually swung right up between two black pines. Just to show us that there was one last touch to be given to the picture. We are especially Jubilant tonight because of more things than the moon. Mr. Anderson told us last night to rise at 4 A. M. prepared for a long, hard "hike" to the permanent camp. We were still lame from the big cave "hikes," but we kept a stiff upper lip and meant to make the best effort we could, though we all went to sleep nursing our feet and pressing adhesive plasters to certain portions thereon. We set out at 7 A. M. in two parties. Party No. 1 was composed of those am bitious hikers who fret restively under a restraining gait. Party Iso. 2 was composed of the others, who loudly in sist that tiny came to the mountains for the scenery and the botany talks of Mr. Gorman and there b not a bit of use hurrying anyway. But beautifully had Mr. Anderson overdone the rigors of this "hike." Mo-it Hikers Beat Speeders. We, the slow ones, climbed up gentle slopes and rested in yellow pine shade (the best in the world) and walked sweetly and freshly into camp at 3 P. M. he first arrivals! We were almost too proud to eat! But after our pride had had its fill, we remem bered that we still loved our missing ones and fired guns as signals. An hour later, soaked in perspiration and weary, they pulled themselves in by their alpenstocks. Their ambition had overshot the mark; they had gone so fast they passed Riley camp and got mixed up in the snow fields on above, only to be recalled by the signaling gun shots. Not a brag have they bragged since, 10 of them, and neither did we crow as we mopped their steaming brows and fed them cooling drinks. Mr. Rlddell said some things real peevishly and we wonder what he meant. After this, when there's a "swift" party and a "slow" party, I wonder who will figure in the first! Security I Felt. A beautiful comfort about this Ma nama Club is the feeding that an acci dent I mean a real one can't possibly happen. Experienced Mazama guides are with every climbing party, and no person or persons is allowed to leave camp without depositing a state ment in the postoffice box as to where he is going. Every precaution is taken against useless risk. Another Joy about being all settled in our permanent camp is the absence of curious neighbors. We found out at Trout Lake Just what the poor peo ple suffer when the rich ones go slum ming. Delegations of farmers' fami lies filed over and watched us eat, and watched us pack up. and actually, with lanterns, filed through the "dormi tories last night to watch us sleep. They seem to think it's a most curi ous bit of freakism for folks with homes and beds to leave these joys and hie to the wilds, there to crawl Into canvas bags, and stretch out, slug-like. here ana there over the country side, and through a square of mosquito net ting gaze up at the stars. Inspection Contlaara Lrfite. Till late they filed through, gazing curiously at the spectacle, and making commments, all oblivious of our feel ings. Some of us are cured. We will never go "slumming again. And then the swimming pool! The stream at Camp Riley races madlv bv . In its rush to irrigate the lands lower down, Ij'it it drops and pauses now and If- . -.;t 5 I ;l-tl h iH l !,! I ' f "f ' 1 " 1 111 V i Ik-, Ji llS!4rv: !i In ) i 1 r . l JffV :.

But, oh, the vigor of it! The electric prickles and thrills after ward! Yes, it s worth the half hoar s shivering on the bank to make up your mind. Mr. "Bronaugh's little son George celebrated his 11th birthday -yesterday by a 20-mile "hike." This is George's second trip with the Mazamas. His father is starting him right, as all good Mazama children should be started. He 4s husky and Belf-reliant and a credit to the club. Tomorrow Is to be a sort of rest day in camp. That is, for the most of us. At the oampflre tonight the announce ment from Mr. Benefiel that breakfast would be from 7 to 8 and nothing later brought forth the anxious query frKn Mr. Coursen: "Does that mean we can eat from 7 to 8 steady"?" So it doesn't take a prophet to foresee what kind of a rest day the cook will have. AGED INDIAN LOST 3 DAYS Dr. Johnson and Squaw, Botb Past 100, Find Way to Wigwam. NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.) The two oldest Indians on Sileta reservation.
