THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. JANUARY 5. 1020. V V HOOD'S SNOWY PEAK ) SCALED If! Portland Man Makes Ascent on New Year's Day. . WINTER PORTLAND MOUNTAIN' CLIMBERS EAT NEW YEAR'S DINNER AT SUMMIT OF MOUNT HOOD. WEATHER CLEAR ON TOP Cliarlcs E. Warner Says Climb at This Season as Pleasant as During Summer. After having completed the first ascent of Mt. Hood ever made r Jan uary, so far as is known, ,Charles E "Warner, a local news writer and Clem Blakney, who has been a guide at the mountain for several seasons past, re turned to Tortland yesterday. Thej made the ascent on New Year's day and enjoyed New year's dinner at the top of the snow-capped peak, gllmp ing half of two states and seven snow peaks from their table. News of the successful ascent to the summit was received here late Thursday. For Mr. Warner the climb was his third to the top of ML Hood during the winter season. On March 7. 1915, he climbed the peak with Elijah Coleman, and on December 31, 1915, he HKaln made the ascent, being accompanied by Billy Evans and seeing the New Year in at the top of the mountain. Mr. Blakney, who is employed In Seattle, has climbed the mountain many times in the summer, having acted as a guide for several eeasons. Clear Weather Prevails. Mr. Warner left Portland Tuesday morning, going to Bull Run by car, and hiking the 22 miles from thare to Rrododendron with a 52-pound pack. Wednesday morning he walked the ins miles to Government camp, where he was Joined by Mr. Blakney, and the two went on to the timber line cabin, spending the night there. The ascent was begun at 4:30 A. M., before daylight, and the summit was reached at 1:10 o'clock in the after noon. During the climb they passed through several weather strips, Mr.- Warner said, but upon' reaching the top the day was clear, and they, were '"able to see every mountain peak from Ranler to Diamond peak, and to see far into eastern Oregon. The val leys were obscured by fog," but the hills and peaks were clearly discern ible, he said. In the early morning, when the climb was begun, the lights of Port land could be readily seen, but later a etrip of fog settled over the ctiy. So clear was the atmosphere that Mr. and Mrs. Pridmore, of the Government Camp hotel, later reported they were able to watch the men through glasses every foot of the way to the summit. The descent was made by sliding down the snow fields on the alplnstock and with skis, and by 6:40 P. M. the men were back to Govern ment camp. The climb was not difficult, except for the last 800 feet, when it wag necessary to leave the ordinary route and cut steps in the ice, following the razor edge of the spur, where a mis step or an insecure footing would have brought almost certain death. Snow Depth Lessens. The forest rangers' cabin at the summit was the goal of the men and they had hoped to gain access to the building and to prepare a hot New Year's dinner there, but they found upon arrival that the snow had ar rived first. One of the windows had been broken in, presumably during a storm, and the snow had filled the structure. That the glaciers are gradually re ceding upon the mountain and that the snow is becoming less and less deep each year, was the declaration of Mr. Warner upon arriving home after bis third win.ter ascent of the moun tain. There was much less snow on the mountain top this year than four years ago, he said. By next summer, he declared, the snow will be so re duced that there undoubtedly will be many additional fissures in the snow fields, making climbing more danger ous. Winter climbing of the moun tain will be on of the popular sports of the future, he said, the winter ascent, with proper safety devices and preparation, being safe and as pleas ant as the 'summer climb. SOCIETY . Jtf rzrTZJMx - if ' ' ' ' ' ' " S ' ' ' '. v . V T&t . They expect to be gone about six weeks.

Organization of the new board of regents of Reed college, which will direct the activities of the college in the future under the reorganization plan recently decided upon by the college trustees, will take place at the first regular meeting of the new board, to be held probably some time this week. A short time ago it was decided by the five trustees that a larger gov erning body for the college was de sirable, and a board of regents was formed, composed of the five trus tees and six others, who were named by the trustees, as follows: R. L. Sabin. A. E. Doyle, Dr. Laurence Sell ing. E. B. MacNaughton. Mrs. Elliott Corbett and Forrest Fisher. These six. with the five trustees, will form the new board .of 11 regents which will have full charge of administra tion of the college, except in matters pertaining to property. The five trustees will, if necessary, under the will .of the late Mrs. Simeon G. Reed, continue to hold title to the property of the college and be responsible foi its administration. An informal meeting of the new board of regents was held shortly be fore Christmas, and the first regulai meeting is expected to be held this week, when the board will be organ ized and regular meeting times de cided upon. The selection of a successor to Dr W. T. Foster, who. recently . resigned as president of Reed college, Btlll is undecided, and this is locked upon to be one of the first matters to be taken up by the regents after or ganization. An "interregnum" may be necessary for a time, declared T. L. 'Eliot, president of the board of trus tees, in which the college will be di rected by the regents and the faculty until a new president has been chosen. Present prosperity in the United states, the greatest enjoyed in 25 years, cannot continue unless finan cial aid is given to countries in cen tral Europe. thUB giving opportunity to the peoples of these countries to work out industrial readjustment. Such is the opinion of Dr. Edward T. Devine, associate editor of the Sur vey Magazine, and prominent author ity on subjects appertaining to so cial economy, who arrived In Port land yesterday. Dr. Devine will give a number of lectures in Portland dur ing his present stay. Home Production Wanted. Dr. -Devine said he believed that not only must the countries of cen tral Europe get financial assistance, but that 'the United States must un dergo irfternal reconstruction, so that production will he for service in stead of profits Such reconstruction, he said, must be carried on by the producers and not through legislation. "The east is now prosperous, how ever long or- short the time may be before a collapse will end this condi tion. Some eastern financiers pre sage that unless relief is given to governments in Europe, financial de pression throughout the United States is certain to follow. Price Secondary. "Goods are selling at any price mer chants want to ask for them. If an article does not sell, all the dealer has to do is to mark up the price. Commercial travelers say that a lead pencil would sell goods to retailers. It does not take a salesman. All the dealers wish to know is how soon the goods can be delivered. The price does not matter. "I have lived in New York 23 years and I have never seen such crowds In the stores and such throngs of shop pers on the streets. Tne huge hotels are filled to capacity. The theaters are packed. The free municipal lodg ing bouse is empty. The Bowery mis sion is empty. The charitable societies had difficulty in finding those who' needed Christmas dinners. Salaried Persons Hard Hit. "Housekeeping is going out of fashion because of the difficulty of obtaining servants. Those of us who do prefer to keep house do our own housework and go out occasionally many of us frequently for meals. Of course, people who are living on fixed incomes are having a hard time, but even salaries have been raised pretty generally, "The trouble arises, however, among those who have no Incomes. When there is sickness or other like mis fortune It is doubly hard. Savings last no time at alL Family expenses mount up and if there are no able bodied workers in the family the hardship is terrible. In this sphere the relief agencies are having their only troubles. Prosperity Is Amid Misery. "The great ' outstanding fact for all Americans o bear in mind Is that our prosperity shines out against a background of world-wide misery. In Austria. Poland, Serbia and the near east people are starving. The death rates are appalling. If we do not coma to the rescue with millions and mil lions of dollars of long term credit, civilisation may actually go to pieces. "It is not a question now between allies and enemies. It is a question of man, women and children and babies going down as at the time of the black death, or great floods and other terrible'disasters of the past. Readjustment Held Need. "The condition In these countries Is now -receiving the serious attention of our finances, for they fully realize that unless the problems of . these countries can be successfully solved and quickly, too we of America may suffer. One country alone can not continue to enjoy unprecedented prosperity when the greater portion of the other peoples of the world ara suffering like never before." Dr. Devine said he believed the present era of high prices and costs of all the essentials of life must come to an end through a readjustment of the Industrial world of the United States. Nation Thinks of Profits. "We are. rapidly becoming a nation with selfish interests." he said. "Everything is being done for profits. No concern Is given for service. Pri vate Industry must find out the pub- PORTLAND MAN HAS -GAINED 40 POUNDS Bernhardt Was Rundown From Rheumatism When He Be gan Taking Tanlac.

Bernhardt, a popu lar mechanic employed by the Port land Pulley Co., who lives at 428 East Forty-sixth street. Portland. Oregon.

'The rheumatism in "my legs, chest and back had about gotten the best of ma and when I sat down I would have to be helped up. in fact. I was almost helpless and had to have somebody around me nearly all the time. I could hardly get any sleep and the pains would be so bad I would wake up during the night and have to have a hot-water bottle and have to be rubbed in liniment before I would be relieved enough to get to sleep. I had been in this condition for several months so helpless I could not get about. I lost my appetite and at times I even hated the sight of food, and I lost forty pounds in weight. I tried every medicine and treatment I knew of and even went to Hot Springs but nothing did me any good and I kept getting worse all the time. "A friend of my mother heard I was so bad off and told her to have me take Tanlac And that was a lucky day for me when I began taking it. for before I had finished my second, bottle I was feeling like a different man and I continued to take it until now all my troubles have completely disappeared. The rheumatism and lumbago are a thing of the past and every day I am working as hard as any man. My appetite returned and I have gained back every pound of my lost weight and am feeling Just fine all the time. I am sleeping sound every night and, in short. I am in perfect health.

Re adjustment Is necessary not only In our Industrial life, but also in. our educational institutions and in our public health service. We are pass ing through a serious and critical stage, and o.ur hope lies in not only readjustment of the Internal affairs of our own country, but the restora tion of all countries of the world to a stable basis."
