GLADSTONE PARK. Gladstone. Or..
July (Special.) Thousands of boys
and girls made merry on "boys day" at
the Willamette Chautauqua. From
early In the morning until late at night
the youngsters romped about the beau
tiful grounds. There hare been "boys
days" at Chautauquas before, but there
never was such an attendance of
young folk at the Willamette Valley
Assembly aa today.
F.i-Oornor Hanley. of Indiana.
made an impressive address upon "The
. Patriotism of Peace": Miss Beatrice
: Honey read "The Abandoned Kiope-
ment": there was an interesting bae-
ball sjame. an escltlner Marathon race.
I music by the Naval Reserve band, and
other events. The Apollo Concert Com.
I pany, of Chicago, irave another concert.
' and several prominent speakers made
J addresses.
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. He declared that more patri
otism had often been shown In times of
peace than In war. Referring to the
vase of Senator lr!mer. the speakes
declared that the L'nited States Senate
did not acquit Lorlmer. but convicted
itself. "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.

srATTLB. 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;

nd at the foot of the mountain la the

Trip's Expense Slight.
On the forthcoming expedition of the
Mountaineers no one will be under pay
or receive compensation except the
professional packer and the cook; and
the entire expense. Including railroad
fare, steamer transportation and food
for each member will be only $45.
Officers of the Mountaineers are:
President. Edmond S. Meany; vice
president. Dr. E. F. Stevens; secretary,
Charles M. Farrer; treasurer, Frank
S. Southard; financial secretary.

mittee, William H. Gorham.
The objects of the organization are
given thus: "To explore the moun
tains, forests and water courses of the
Pacific Northwest, and to gather into
permanent 'form the history and tra
ditions of this region; to preserve, by
protective legislation or otherwise, the
natural beauty of the Northwest Coast
of America; to make frequent or peri
odical expeditions into these regions
In fulfillment of the above purposes:
finally, and above all, to encourage and
promote the spirit of good fellowship
and comrady among the lovers of out
door life in the West."

So Declares Colonel Frank' Ray, of
New York, at Banquet Given

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. When asked to talk on the

OREGON CITY. .Or., July 8. (Spe
cial.) Deputy Sheriff Miles, of this
city, has a horse that would be valu
able to a clockmaker. The animal
travels at such a regular rate of speed
that Mr. Miles knows the exact time
he reaches every mile post on the
county roads. He made a remarkable
trip to Brtghtwood, which is 35 miles
from Oregon City, on Friday. The
Deputy Sheriff was gone Just 10 hours,
having traveled at a rate of seven miles
an hour. He left Oregon City at 6:30
o'clock in the morning, and, upon ar
riving at Rock Creek, which is seven
miles out, he found that his watch had
stopped. He set it at 6:30 o'clock, and
upon arriving at Sandy compared it
with the town clock, and found that
his watch was correct to the second.
