9 16 TTTE MORXING. OKEGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 7. 1915. " THRILLS OF ASCENT OF MT. HOOD MANY Woman, Heading Mazamas, Describes Being Buried in Big Snow Slide. NARROW ESCAPES NOT FEW Several Are Barely Missed by Stones Dropping Down Side of Moun tain, "While Another Nearly Many new and novel antics of the enow and ice on Mount Hood Monday caused much excitement for a party of Mazamas headed by Miss Anne Dillln t?er, according: to stories told yesterday by Miss Dillinger and other members of the party. The trip was marked by several remarkably close escapes for members of the party. The main happening was that which resulted in Miss Dillinger and Miss Gertrude Wiley getting caught in an avalanche of snow near the summit of the mountain. The escape of the two girls was miraculous. The narrow escape of a young man of the party from a deep crevice, and escapes of several climbers from rolling rocks lent thrills to the climb. During the trip the party saw nearly the entire side of Mount Hood moving down in waves like a large lake or the ocean. Party Made I p of ISO. "There were about 120 in the party." said Miss Dillinger yesterday. "Miss "Wiley and I remained a considerable distance behind because she became 111 and I was helping her. "Suddenly, off to our right, there was a noise that sounded like a peal of thunder, and, looking in that direc tion, we saw an immense avalanche. The snow and ice and rocks roared down the side of the mountain and out of sight in the deep ravines. "Then I noticed the snow begin to move up above us, and Miss Wiley and I both dashed for the center of the ridge upon which we were walking. Here I placed Miss Wiley below me. fastened her alpenstock ' in the snow and fastened myself with my "stock" above her. The snow came down with a rush and we both braced ourselves. It stuck up and broke. The snow con tinued on down both sides of us al most as far as we could see. The whole side of the mountain was mov ing and the snow was waving just like a big river. It made a most peculiar noise. Snowallde Nearly Rnrlea Both. "We held on for considerable time while the avalanche was getting by. Neither of us was hurt, although we considered it a narrow escape. Both of us were nearly covered up with snow. The people "above and below us thought we were k'lled sure." After this experience members of the party were moving down the mountain. Miss Dillinger and a young man were considerable distance ahead and were sliding down in the usual manner. Sud denly he struck a rough place and the ice cracked under him. Miss Dillinger says she does not know now who the young man was, but he had a narrow escape. She re turned to the place where the ice had cracked and by the time she reached there a large piece had dropped out and disclosed a cave probably hun dreds of feet deep. It was one mass of icicles. One Nearly Fallo In Crevasse. The cave or catvern had had a cov ering of snow and ice. The snow was taken out by the avalanche and the weight of the young man sliding over it broke the ice. It was directly in the usual patch followed by the mountain climbers and undoubtedly some of them would have gone into the hole had it not been for Miss Dillinger put ting up her alpenstock with a rea cloth on the top. This warned the climbers to go around. Several members of the party had narrow escapes from falling rocks dur ing the day. Among them was Jerrold Owen who narrowly averted being struck by a rock weighing 150 or 200 PTtnfsS'said the record for the number of persons on the mountain in one day Vas broken. The Mazamas report that there were 139 climbers. About 120 went up the north side and the others VP the south side. 4TH OB SERVED OX MT. HOOD Judge Stevenson Addresses rarty of Mazamas and Other Climbers. "Ladies and gentlemen." spoke the guide of a party of Mazamas on the Tummlt of Mount Hood on July 5.1 want to introduce Municipal Judge John H. Stevenson, of Portland. "Huh. I met him once, it cost me IZo. came sotto voce from an automobile owner among the crowd of men and women who had fought their way to the top of the majestice mound. "You're lucky." was the judicial re tort, accompanied with a smile. This will be the shortest. Fourth of July oration you have ever heard." be gan Judge Stevenson. It was. tor the wind on the summit of a snow peak is not tempered. Judge Stevenson was one of a sep arate party of six that started from Portland at an early hour Sunday morning a party dubbed the "longest that ever set out for Mount Hood, all the members topping the six-foot limit. The party met the Mazamas at the summit. The others were Ben Trenk n.an. Frederick Stadter. Deputy City Attorney Ted Lansing. Jerrold Owen Tnd Frederick H. McNeil, the latter three Portlands most lengthy police reporters. - With the exceptions of McNeil, a Mazama. and Trenkman. all were nov ices, who considered a climb to the top of Hood in the same class as the as cent of Mount Tabor or Mount Scott, with a little snow thrown in to make It interesting. The first day's hike from' Government Camp to the now line of the mountain was a revelation. Blis tering heat, a rocky and steep road, and packsacks weighing between 33 and 40 pounds each and containing all the comforts of home made the five mile jaunt a memorable one. Stadter fell into the novice class early in the tramp when he ingenuously exclaimed. "See the water lilies." point ing toward a patch of what are fa miliarly known as "skunk cabbages." growing near a pool. fcteam was seen ..vn v crater of Mount Hood that night and .

With Stevenson and Lansing alter nating in the lead, the party started out early on the morning of July S for the summit. Lansing, who was ap pointed naturalist of the expedition, was a center of interest whenever strangers were met on the way to the summit. The interest was furnished by curiosity, for. in addition to his alpenstock. Lansing carried a butter fly net of beautiful blue silk. In other ways ha seemed rational, and much curiosity was evoked. It had been re ported that wonderful and rare butter flies often disported on the snows, and Lansing was prepared. He brought back one from the mountain. It was frozen and couldn't escape. It was ru mored, as it was the only one seen, that it had died of loneliness. The trip was a highly successful one and the sextet were proudly display ing sun-burned noses to their friends yesterday. It was not without its thrills, at that. Careless climbers about Crater Rock loosened many rocks from their beds and the boulder shot down the steep sides with the speed of a bullet. McNeil and Owen were narrowly missed by one boulder that splintered on a rock a few feet ahead of them. Lansing and Owen dodged two murder ous stones at the base of Crater Rock.

It was decided in May that It would be necessary to close the office until October 1 because of the lack of funds, which was due to the excessive de mands that had fallen on the Charities in the Winter and Spring. Realizing that it would leave many families with out any source of relief whatever dur ing the Summer if this plan were adopted, the board of directors decided to begin the campaign for the neces sary maintenance fund, dispensing with the fresh-air campaign and all other activities except those of actual relief work. This campaign has been on for about eight weeks. While considerable help to the fund Is expected from the receipts from the baseball game Saturday, a percentage of which is to be donated, the full amount cannot be made up without many contributions from ether sources. Needy cases that are being handled by th-s Charities daily are innumerable. Following are only a few from the list of yesterday's applications: 1. Man, 75 years old. llvins alone on the river bank, too old to work and has no rel atives. Finally came to the Charities asklng for food. 2. Woman and four children stranded In Portland, on their way from California to the woman's parents In Washington. Must have food and care until relatives can be notified. 3. Milk wanted for a ' -ear-old-baby. Father has been out of work all Winter and there are four other children to support. 4. Aged woman, partially paralyzed, needs someone to take care of her so that her son can so to work. He cays that if n-e can secure work he will pay for the care of his mother, but he cannot leave her until someone is found to stay with her. FARMERS'.

The jitney-ordinance cue will be heard before the Supreme Court next Tuesday, according: to advices from Chief Justice Moore, received yeoter dar by Circuit Judge Gantenbein. be fore whom the constitutionality of the ordinance originally was tested.
