NOVEL STUNTS IN CAMP
President Gorman, of Portland, Is
Initiated In "Association of Owls"
and Forced Through Ring
on Donkey's Back.
BELLIXGHAM. Wash.. Aug-. 14.
(Special.) The Olympic Ransre, which
the Mazamas have never before essayed,
probably will be the next objective
point of the successful mountain
climbing organization. President M. W.
Gorman, a club member, held a con
ference with C. W. Humes, of Port
Angeles, who has been touring the
country about that range, and most
favorable reports of the wonders of the
region were given by Mr. Humes.
There has been some discussion re
garding a proposition to climb the
glacial mountain near Lake Chelan. The
majority, apparently. Is in favor of on
of the Olympic peaks. New officers
will be elected in October, and the final
decision as to which mountain will be
climbed will not be given until next
January.
Break Camp on Monday.
Some of the Mazamas -will leave the
permanent camp tomorrow, but camp
will not be broken until aionacy. in
unbroken round of pleasure which the
party has been enjoying was given
added zest yesterday by a novel field
meet at Camp Mazama. recently fixed
about a mile and a half from Camp
Gorman. Athletic sports of all kinds
were indulged in, the woman members
participating. A stone monument also
was erected, each one of the Mazamas
placing a huge rock in the pile.
In making the official ascent Wednes
day. William Q. Hardesty. of Portland,
placed stakes with bits of red flannel
attached at various points along the
route, so that until they are covered
with snow the route of the parry to the
summit can be easily traced. Mr.
Hanlfstv also carried an aneroid
barometer, which gave the elevation at
the summit as 11. 400 feet, liaraesiy.
however, says the aneroid's tempera
ture variations render it unreliable,
the government surveys having fixed
the height of the mountain at 10.728
feet.
Those who reached the summit with
the main party last Wednesday were
given Mazama badges with the word
"Summit" printed across them near the
top. and bearing the words "Mount
Baker." and a picture of tha official
emblem, the mountain goat.
. "... Fun Around Campfire.
The evenings spend around the camp
Urn are pronounced by many of the
party to be one of the most enjoyable
features. Bongs, stories and impromptu
entertainments are given. Thursday
night, following the successful climb
of Wednesday, included a special cele
bration. Judge A. J. Craven, of this
city; President M. W. Gorman, of Port
land, and one of the burros used in
parking impedimenta to the camp were
initiated Into the "Association of
Owls." The etald climbers were pulled
into the ring on the donkey's back and
put through a series of evolutions that
seriously Interfered with their slumbers
the remainder of the night.
W. V. Harden, of Boston, Mass., who
climbed the Kuropean Alps and many
peaks of Canada, is authority for the
statement that the scenery enjoyed on
this climb is unsurpassed by any In the
world. From here he Is going to the
Olympics and then to Mount Shasta.

sorts on the coast famous before anti
betting laws were enacted in the several
states, will be held at Coeur d'Alene in

KROEZE WILL
QUIT
Head of Whitworth College Is
Very Angry.
IS TIRED OF "BOSSISM"
President of Tacoma School Declares
There Is Too Much Intrigue
and Incompetency in
Faculty.
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Declaring that he is through with tho
"bossism" of .Rev. M. A. Matthews, of
Seattle, and that Dr. D. D. McKay, a
member of the faculty, is Incompetent
and has Intrigued to the disadvantage
of the institution. Dr. B. H. Kroeze,
president of Whitworth College, has
tendered his resignation to the board of
trustees, and insists that it be accepted.
Twice before he resigned, but the board
poured oil on the troubled waters. This
time the president declares he is in
earnest.
President Kroess gives the following
three reasons for his action:
"The first reason is on account of
Dr. McKay, who has Intrigued and is
Incompetent, and the welfare of the
school calls for a man of different
stamp.
"My second reason Is on account of
'bossism,' or one man running the
board. I refer to Rev. M. A. Matthews,
of Seattle.
"My third reason is on account of
nepotism. Two members of the faculty
are sisters of members of the board re
siding In Seattle, and I maintain that
good oommon sense and good law de
mands that no blood relation of any
member of tho board of trustees should
be on tha faculty.
ALBANY FIRM IS TENTING
City So Crowded No Other Room Can
Be Secured.
ALBANY. Or., Aug. 14. (Special.) So
crowded is Albany's business section that
the Blaln Clothing Company, whjch was
burned out in the fire in the First Na
tional Bank building last week, will do
business temporarily in a tent. The com
pany has cecured a storeroom at Second
ancj Ferry streets, which was vacated
by virtue of the fact that the firm
which baa been occupying it moved last
week into a new building. It is not large
enough, however, to accommodate the
company, and one of the big tents be
longing to Arnold, the Portland show
man who tours the Willamette Valley,
has been secured and is being erected in
the rear of the building for use aa a
Ba tearoom.
It has been probably half a century
since a permanent business house was
forced to do business1 In a tent In Albany,
and the present prosperity which keeps
all business buildings crowded recalls the
situation in new towns or mining camps
in pioneer days.
PRUNE GROWERS PLEASED
JLInn and Benton County Crop to Be

ALBANY. Or.. Aug. 14. (Special.)
Contrary to expectations earlier In the

will be an average one throughout this
ruirt of the Willamette Valley.
Weather conditions the past Winter
were considered very unfavorable for
prunes, as well as other fruits, and even
a few weeks ago grave fears were en
tertained for the prune crop. But prac
tically all of the orchards In this part
of the state will have a full yield. This
means that at least 125 cars of prunes
will be shipped this year from Albany,
which is the greatest prune exporting
center of the state.
The fruit this year Is of a good quality.
too. This Is largely due to the fact that
more care was taken of prune orchards
this year than ever before, the amount
of spraying and cultivation breaking all
records. There was an increaad acre
age of bearing prunes In Linn and Ben
ton counties this year and this will make
a slight increase in the crop.
Present market conditions are also fa
vorable for prunes and from all view
points prunegrowers in this part of the
state are satisfied.

ENGINES WORK OVERTIME
Passenger Trains Crowded Daily,
Conductors Having Difficulty in
Making Their Way Through
the Many Coaches.
PE.VDLBTOJT, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
With motive power insufficient to
handle the present enormous freight and
passenger traffic, and with the wheat
shipping season Just opening up, the O.
R. & N. Co. Is facing one of the most
difficult problems in its history. Not
only is every available locomotive being
kept in continuous service but every pas
senger coach is also being called into
service and there are a half dozen calls
for every empty coach that can be found.
- Fourteen westbound trains passed
through Pendleton Thursday and there
would have been more but for the lack
of motive power. The local yards are
filled with loaded cars waiting to be
shipped out. Some of them have been
here nearly a week and most of them are
scheduled to go East. Every freight train
carries every car that the big locomo
tive can draw and many of them require
two engines. Every passenger train is
literally, "loaded to the guards,", with
seats for all out of the question and good
standing room at a premium. The con
ductors say thoy are compelled to fairly
fight their way through their trains.
Temporary relief will be afforded in a
few davs by the arrival of five additional
locomotives from the Southern Pacifio
shops at Sparks, Nev... while two are on
their way here from the Oregon Short
Line. This will make it possible to re
lieve the present congestion here, at
Huntington. Umatilla and other points
along the line, but whether tt will make
possible the successful handling of the
grain crop and prevent a oar shortage,
ia another question.
Then on top of the grain shipment
question and the preaent heavy passenger
traffic, said to be the heaviest in the
history of the road, the Fall colonist
rates go Into effect next month, and It
is aald that two additional trains each
way daily will be required to handle the
colonists. There are three trains each
way dally, at present, the third one
having been put on but a few days ago.
