The programme for boys day began fat 11 o'clock in the auditorium, the I platform being crowded with boys. The center section was held for the boys of the Boys" Brigade, who were present to take part In the competitive drill in the even I nr. Great Interest waa shown In the boys day addresses by men of experience In organised lines of effort for boys. Character Building Aim. Rev. Mr. Hayworth. of Oregon City. acted as chairman for tha f orum. The first address was by Rev. W. A. Proc tor, of Pacific University, who spoke on the Boy Scouts. "The Boy Scouts Is one of the young est and also one of the largest of th various boy movements." he said. "In England the enrollment la 158.000 aral In the I'nlted States about 100.000. The methods of the Scout movement are adaptable to all forms of boy organisa tions. The work of the scout tends to develop self-dependence and reliability, and the hope of the Nation Is in her men of character." The second speaker was IT. W. Stone, of the Portland Toung Men's Christian Association, who spoke on "Work for Boys." Mr. Stone spoke of the special ists who are working for the boys ss "boyologlsts." In part Mr. Stone said "There are several stages of develop ment In boy life recognised by the boy- ologlst.' The boy from six to nine Is essentially a young savage, leading an Individualistic existence. This period is elastic and may be longer or shorter In different cases. From 11 to IS the boy developes the gang spirit and will un dergo any hardship for the gang. Boy life In the city today Is different from what It used to be. For home chores we are substituting Idleness, with the result that the boy is discontented. The playground Is giving way to the street and the result is petty crime. Neigh borhood games are displaced by pro fessional athletics and the result is a spirit of anything to win. Home life give way to the hothouse life of the rlub and theater. Inducing nervousness; the good literature that used to be In the home Is given up for the moving picture show and the club, causing low ideals to be developed In the boy. and the family altar Is replaced with the newspaper." Chivalry Is Fostered. Iter. J. Tt- Landsborlurh related the Trt'tory and the alms of the Knights ef King Arthur. This organisation was originated at Riverside. R. I., about 10 years ago, by a Congregational min ister. "The spirit of chivalry. said the speaker, "Inherent In the boy Is de veloped by the study of the literature of the famous Arthur and his round tabl and Bible study. This organisa tion meets the needs of boys from II to IS. The ritual Is Impressive and Inspirational." St. Martin's School for Boys, of Phil adelphia, where boys who will not be taken In by other schools, are cared for. was described most Interestingly by Rev. C. TV". Robinson, the founder. In this school boys are put on honor not to run away and this offense is punished by not permitting the boy to return. Only one boy has run away. The work of the boys brigade was told by Hugh Krumm. and Rev. Sny der, of the Piedmont Presbyterian Church. Portland, related his experi ences in working with boys. He said to the parents and others: "If you want to be young again get In with the boys" Some of his boys sang "The King's Business. which was an appro priate number as they are called the Knlghta of the King. Lorlmer Verdict Kapped. Miss Frank Towslee. of Portland, read several selections at the afternoon session. She was succeeded by ex-Governor Hanley. who made an eloquent address.

"The picture is a, dark one." he declared, "but the colors were mixed by Amertcsns." Mr. Hanley said that this country was the world's last and best hope In the matter of universal peace. .

Wash- July 8. (Special.) With Portland as their ultimate ob loctlve nolnt- the Seattle Mountaineers will leave this city July 15 for their fifth annual outing. Probably 75 ex perienced mountain-climbers, about half of them women, will be In the par ty. Thia year's expedition, which will result In a visit to Portland on the way home, will be unusual in that it will Involve a walk of 100 miles in the roughest of mountain country and the ascent of a comparatively easy- peak. In 21 days the Mountaineers will mane 21 camns. After they plunge Into the wilderness at Ashford. the terminus or tne jm waokee Railroad on the flank of Mount Rainier, they will have no certainty or being able to send out any mail to the world. Nearly all the time they will be in the National forest. Perhaps a forest ranger may take In a letter, but perhaps the best chance of sending out mall will be by prospector or cneep- herder on the east slope of the Caa cades. Into the Yakima country. The supplies of the Mountaineers have al ready been distributed by pacK train at various caches. When the caravaa sets out from Ashford the pack horses 111 not be burdened with food sup piles, but will carry the camp outfit of the travelers. Handy Koule Chosen. The Mountaineers will strike direct for the summit of the Cascades, and ill follow a water course that will take them Into the Cowllta Pass, where the Cowllts River heads. This pass Is only 4800 feet high. The walkers will encounter the stakes driven by the North Coast Railroad, which is to be built from North Yakima to -a connec tion with the Northern Pacific at Olo qua in the Cowllta Valley, whence North Coast trains will reach Seattle and Portland. The .-oad will cross the mountains through Tieton Pass. From Cowllts Pass the Mountaineers will walk along the crest of the range to Mount Adams, stopping on the way to climb Goat Rocks. The ascent of Mount Adams, 12.307 feet high, will be made in one day. Most 'of the other mountain ascensions in the Northwest require two days. On descending Mount Adams the Mountaineers will walk down the White Salmon Valley to the mouth of the river, then take a steamer down the Columbia to Port land, whence return to Seattle will be made by train. Only Weekly Sermon Allowed. Among; the Mountaineers on this ex pedition will be Dr. Adna Wright Leonard, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church In this city, and for merly pastor of the famous Methodist Church in Rome. It is understood that Dr. Leonard will be permitted by the Mountaineers to preach once a week, Sundays, and no oftener. In the party will be several literary persons to write an account of the journey, and botanical collections will b made, which, it Is expected, will adc much to the knowledge of th: mountain flora. Various members of liie party will take their kodaks; in fact, the only hunting will be done hs" camera, but there will be trout every day. There will not be a firearm of any de scription in the equipment, not merely because arms are forbidden In the re serve, but because the Mountaineers will leave them behind voluntarily. The route of the expedition was gone over thoroughly last Fall by Captain L. A. Nelson, formerly leader of the Mountaineers and now a Government forest ranger. It passes through a section regarded as the wildest in the United States. The location of every camp, of every campflre, even, has been selected. The pack train will unload Its cargo' for the men's quar ters, the women's quarters and the cook's tent Just as carofully as If the caravan were a traveling circus. Fair Weather Expected. The Mountaineers expect to encoun ter no rain, and the only tent will be the cook's tent. The travelers will spend the night In sleeping bags, which consist of waterproof canvas-uned blankets. All members of the party will wear boots and will carry alpen stocks. There Is no regulation as to the style of dress; women may wear trousers If they please, but they will be obliged to have Ion boots. Life lines and every kind of Mountaineering equipment will be carried. In the rules and regulations pre scribed for the expedition It is pro- Tided that no one will be required to participate In the climbs; nor will any one whom the committee may deem to be physically unfit be permitted to do so. Ample opportunity will be given members of the party to "try out," and by the time the main camp Is reached each member will have dem onstrated his fitness for the strenuous labors of the expedition. Whenever occasion requires, as In the case of climbing mountains er In the enforce ment of camp regulations. It is dis tinctly understood that the committee Is to be Implicitly obeyed. Every mem ber of the party, by the act of join ing the Mountaineers has given his Implied promise to abide by whatever regulations may be adopted. On leav ing Ashford the party will be divided Into companies, under captains, and orders will be given to follow the lead ers, strictly to be enforced when the Mountaineers are on the snow. Mount Adams' View Best. As to Mount Adams, ' which ' the Mountaineers will ascend. Professor W. D. Lyman has written that one of Its features is the great extent of parks and alpine Woods. All great peaks, he observes, have extensive views. "But Adams occupies such a central position that It commands a view, if the day be clear. of more- regions than does any other peak." writes Professor Lyman. "The Puget Sound basin, with all the great peaks of Washington, is stretched out to the -north, while on the south the Columbia River, both central and lower part, and the long line of Oregon peaks. Hood, Jefferson. Three Sisters. Thlelson. Scott. Diamond and McLoughlln, are revealed; also the vast Blue Mountain region eastward. "Another feature of the peak is its lava on the south side, E00 yards or more wide, 'a tinted, contorted stream of stiffened 'fire.' The glacial system includes the great Klickitat glacier; MEN IN WHOSE JUDGMENT ONE PLACES ABSOLUTE RELIANCE SMOKE 66M Why You Smoke "Mi Hogar" "Ask Your Dealer" nd at the foot of the mountain la the region of the noted ice caves.

So Declares Colonel Frank' Ray, of New York, at Banquet Given President Gray at Medford. MEDFORD. Or.,' July 8. (Special.) "Tariff dissension is what is holding back the railroads just , now, and not any dissatisfaction 'on the part of the people," declared Coionel Frank Ray, of New York, at the banquet given Carl R. Gray, president of the Oregon Trunk, last night. "The people are friendly to the railroads-of the coun try, but it is the tariff question that is making, money men afraid and has so tightened up our financial system that nothing with which' to develop railroads can be secured. I have stud ied the situation carefully for some time and I have been struck by the em inent fairness and reasonableness of the people as a whole. " But as long as Congress putters with the tariff the money market is bound to be unset tled.' Mr. Gray, while speaking In nothing but generalities, agreed with Colonel Ray and all the railroad men present seemed to think the same thing. This is in contrast with the opinion given by the Union Pacific people here a few weeks ago.
