BEAR HUNTER SAVES LIVES
Oakridge Trapper, Repairing- Forest
Telephone Line, Gets Message
From Snow - Imprisoned
and Starving Party.
ETCEXE, Or, May 20. (Special.)
A telephone message made possible by
repairs of a forest telephone line by i
bear hunter on his Spring trapping ex
peditlon brought the first news that a
party of four persons, two men and
two women, had spent the Winter near
the summit of the Cascade Mountains
in the wildest and most desolate part
of the state of Oregon. The message
stated that the party's food supplies
had i&en exhausted and asked that
someone be sent to their relief with
provisions.
The members of the party were: Mr.
and Mrs. C M. McKean and Mr. and
ilrs. Karl Iadewlg. of Los Angeles, Cal.
The trapper who repaired the tele
phone line and carried food to the
party was J. B. Hills, of Oakridge. - He
had met the Californlans- going Into the
mountains last Fall, taking in provi
sions from Bend, and advised them that
no one had ever before attempted to
upend the winter in that region and
said he did not believe it possible. He
had forgotten them until Mr. MoKetn,
by chance, aucoeeded in reaching him
wnen he was trying to call another
party.

to 60 feet deep Is possible at that point
during a severe Winter. The Winter
this year was light and the greatest
amount of snow standing on the ground
at one time was 80 feet, according to
-Mr. McKean. who with Mrs. McKean
arrived in Eugene today.
Men have had such experiences in
the Cascades, but it is said to be the
first time two women have ever Win

in the party were dressed in khaki

were no trails and over up and down

killing martin, porcupine, squirrels and
camp robbers.
From December 1 to April 17, the

HOSPITAL NEED URGED
DR.
Mckenzie calls attemio.i
to lack op facilities.
Belief That One and Possibly Two In
stitutions Will Be Established
"in Portland.
Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, dean of the
Oregon Medical School, yesterday sur
prised the members' council of the
Chamber of Commerce with the state
ment that "there is not today a single
hospital bed available in Portland for
man, woman or child."
Following this statement with a re
view of conditions showing the urgent
need of facilities to meet Industrial
emergencies that continually send men
to the surgical wards of the hospitals.
Dr. Mackenzie expressed the belief that
within 60 or 90 days a beginning would
be made on one, and possibly two, hos
pitals on the hill site of the new Ore
gon Medical College in South Portland.
Though he. did not so announce, it was
quite generally understood that one of
these hospitals is to be the proposed
Joint institution for Multnomah County
and the city of Portland. The other,
though, may be a Government rehabili
tation hospital.
The Federal Government recently in
cluded in sn appropriation $15,000,000
for establishment of rehabilitation hos
pitals. Fourteen of these institutions
have been located east of the Missis
sippi River. In view of the fact that
Reed College Is the only institution
west of the river chosen for rehabilita
tion educational work, it Is surmised
that Portland may be selected as the
location for one of the large hospitals.
"Aiding the Government in construc
tive education for the Army" was the
subject for the day, but the discussion
took a wider range and aroused tre
mendous Interest among members pres
ent. Frank Shepherd, Government rep
resentative for the five Northwestern
states in the educational work, ex
plained the character of training it Is
desired to give for the various branches
of service. Dr. E. A. Sommer of the
School Board, and L. R. Alderman. Su
perintendent of Schools, spoke on ths
efforts the schools hsve been making to
give the fullest possible service to the
country. There was an excellent ex
hibit of the industrial work of the
Benson Polytechnic School that was a
revelation to many of the representa
tive business men.
William A. Marshall, of ths Stats
Industrial Accident Commission, spoke
briefly of the work of that d partment
and of the benefits that had accrued
to the community through its service.
Lieutenant McKlnnon, of the Cana
dian army, spoke on behalf of the Red
Cross campaign, telling in graphic
manner what is actually meant by ths
term, "going over the top."
Dr. Mackenzie called the attention of
his auditors to the extraordinary situ
ation here as to hospital. He told of
the number of wounded in the war
among all belligerents, having been
placed at 13,000,000 up to March 1. of
whom 2,000,000 had suffered amputa
tions of arms or legs. This by way of
suggesting the importance of making
the necessary provision here for ths
Industrial training of great numbers
of Americans who will be returned
from the front in such physical condi
tion as to necessitate giving them new
industrial education.
