THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAXD. JULY 21, 1912. ELECTRICAL ST GREETS MAZAMAS Peculiar Phenomena Wit nessed by Climbers on Moun tain During Fine Display. JUDGE GEORGE, 80, IS HAPPY Members Describe Adventures of Earlier Tears and List of Achieve- Whlch Have Made Club Noteworthy. ments CAMP SHELDON. Mount Hood. Or. July 20. (Special.) During- a heavy electrical storm which prevailed on the summit and slopes of Mount Hood for more than an hour Thursday after noon, six members of the Mazama par ty tramping on Cooper Spur became so charged with electrical energy that their hands snapped whenever they moved them. The young women were obliged to remove their metal hair pins and their hair stiffened out like wire. Their hat pins, too, had -to be taken out. as whenever an effort was made to fasten their hats the electrically charged point burned. Alpenstocks, when held in the air, gave out a snap ping sound, as did all metal articles carried by the party. Guide Miller, of Cloud Cap Inn. who was on the summit with two women when the storm came on. reDorted that the air'was heavily charged with elec tricity. His goggles, which were fas tened to the crown of his hat, gave off a sputtering sound and when be at tempted to pull the band down on his forehead, he experienced a mild shock. Whenever his hands were raised they caused his hair to Btand away from his head. His ice ax also gave off elec tricity. Calm Succeeds Storm. The evening was perect. Lovers of nature at Cloud Cap Inn were charmed with Its beauty. The crescent-shaped court of the Inn is open toward the mountain on the south and west, and from its balcony Mount Hood In all its glorious majesty was clearly visible. The moon, likewise a crescent, rising fairy-like over the shoulder of the guardian of the Willamette, shed pale glow over the masses of snow and rock. As a dimly-outlined pyramid of white, Mount Hood, viewed from Portland on a moonlight night. Is worth the cross ing of a continent to see. From the chosen point of vantage. Cloud Cap Inn, on such a night, the mountain is an Inspiration of the beauty and immen sity of creation, which comes but sel dom to any, and to most not at alL Within the shelter of the court, sur rounded by large Japanese lanterns, which shed a fantastic circle of lights. Mazamas and other guests were kept merry with songs, dances and music Following the disposal of refresh ments, Francis Benefleld. chairman of the outing committee of the Mazamas, Introduced Judge M. C. George, of Port . land, who had come to the Inn to be present at the anniversary camp fire of the club, which took place that night. Others who arrived for this auspicious occasion were Mrs. M. C George, Miss Florence George, and Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Plttock. the club how 299 people had set out to conquer the old mountain, most of them from the south side. Of that number 194 ultimately reached the top, where these strenuous spirits solemnl pledged themselves to carry on the work they had begun, under the name of the Mazama Club. Today they have a priceless llbraray, while the society took leading rank among scientific bodies of the world. As orchestral instruments which have been known in the history of the world to produce music, those in use that night by the Mazamas deserve to go down to posterity. The mouth or gan of Henry A. Ladd was not exactl unique, nor was the guitar strummed by "Eddie" Sammons. The cornet, how ever, played by George Miller, chief guide, was weird and wonderful in the extreme, being constructed out of some eight feet of gasplplng.

Fritz Nissen, of 500 Kenilworth avenue, aged 15, disappeared from home early Wednesday morning. The boy put on his old clothes and said he was going out to the ML Scott district to look for work. Since he failed to return or write, his mother is greatly alarmed and would appre ciate any Information about him. Judge George Reminiscent. Judge George, who. despite his SO years, semed more like the youngest than the oldest of the group, related reminiscences of climbs and achieve ments of the club. In which he had participated. Speaking for himself, the Judge said that he had climbed prac tically every snow-clad peak In the Cascades from Mount Shasta in the south to Mount Baker in the north. There followed him H. L. Pittock. who had served almost as long an ap prenticeship in the mastery of the mountains, and who. In spite of his avowal that he was no speaker, held the attention of his audience from the moment that he began. He. too, had many tales of trips to unfold for the benefit of the younger members, as well as those with whom he had been closely associated on trips. A later president in the person of H. H. Riddell. gave a brief history of the Mazama Club. Organized 19 years ago by a large group of climbers as sembled on the summit of Mount Hood, members had climbed every snow peak of consequence in the Cascades, with the exception of one, which had been omitted simply because no human be ing could hope ever to scale lta severe slope. He told particularly of the feat of H. W. Prouty In being the first to reach the summit of one of the Three Sisters, and how two men. of whom the speaker was one. were the only others who had reached the summit, and that simply through the timely help of a rope which the leader had tied about him. Growth of Masamaa Related. Frank B. Riley, star entertainer, fol-)em-ed with some excellent stories. At their conclusion, in serious vein, he related the story of the formation of would imagine. On this occasion Os man Royal produced one from a kettle, old and discarded, while Harvey Jew ett, of New - York, a guest of Henry Ladd. improvised a bass viol from an old five-gallon kerosene can, a broom handle and a piece of copper wire. The bowstring was resined by rubbing the bow on a nr tree. The music produced was fully equal to the ingenuity displayed in the in vention of the instruments, and the reunion will live long in the annals of the club. MAZAMA PARTY AT SUMMIT Campers Reach Top of Blount Hood but View Is Obscured. CAMP SHELDON (Base of Mount Hood). June 20. (Special.) This morning as early as 5:30 a large party of Mazamas left camp, first for Coop er's spur and finally for the summit. The top of the spur was reached at 8:15. and another quarter of an hour sufficed to bring the party to Paint Point. Thence to the rope, which hangs down 1500 feet from the summit. took almost two hours. Steady climb ing brought the Mazamas to the top by ll:oU. tne complete ascent taking 6 hours 20 minutes. Here they rested for a while, and walked about, begin ning the descent promptly at 2 o'clock. The main party reached camp again by 4 P. M, some coming by the Coop er's Spur route, others via the Elliot glacier. Only at times, and men not clearly, were St. Helens and Mount Adams vis ible on account of cloudiness, though a good view was obtained, for the greater part of the time, of the sur rounding country. It was possible to see Juniper Flat and away above The Dalles. While at the summit the party had a grand view of a thunder storm which broke below them, the results of which were felt in the descent, for the snow was hardening and slippery, climbers having to be roped together, even after the fixed rope had been passed. Altogether 21 reached the summit, the leader being George X. Riddell, who has made the ascent three times. He said in his opinion several crevasses have opened slightly since his last trip. Those who made up the party were George X. Riddell. Lela Kelsey, Mary C. Henthorne. Dr. Frederick Anderson, Will A. Spence, Milllcent C Hanson, Marie E. Williams. Leroy E. Anderson, Myrtle Clason, R.

ADVENTISTS OPEN WEEK OF SPECIAL SERVICES Elder Nethery, Formerly Missionary of Seventh-Day Adventists in Egypt, Will Be Assisted by Milton H. St. John, Pastor of East Side Church. MILAN, July 20. (Special.) After more than 47 years' Imprisonment, one of the most notorious brigand chiefs of Italy In the middle part of the nine teenth century has been pardoned by King Victor Emmanuel. Giuseppe Bellettlerl, as he Is called. was regarded as a born criminal. He came from the Neapolitan provinces. and as a boy he proved himself a cun ning Incendiary and a cattle tnlel. Later he served a sort of apprentice ship to brigandage In the dreaded bands captured by Crocco Donatello and Nlnco Nan co, which were then overrunning Calabria and the provinces of Apulia and Basillcata. He next became a full-blown chief tain, with a following of a dozen lusty terrorists, who. after a long run of good luck, finally found themselves hemmed In by Italian soldiers. Bel lettleri was court-martialed and sen tence of death was passed upon him. but this was eventually commuted to penai servitude lor lire. - Reference to Bellettlerl's crime sheet shows that he was condemned for no fewer than 65 murders, black mail cases and other deeds of violence. In prison, however, the ex-chief dis tlnguished himself by unfailing good conaucc, ana oy hard work was able to max a little hoard of savings.

CALIFORNIA'S PRIMARY A COMPLICATED AFFAIR Nat Goodwin Gets Scare From Florence Eoberts' Pet Cat in Los 'Angeles Hotel Smuggling Coolies Is Said to Thrive on Southern Border. ST. JOHNS SWEET PEA SHOW AT THE CITY DOCK, JULY 8 AND 9, BEAUTIFUL EXHIBITION ! i l AY " Y ' w x . ff 1 FLORAL DISPLAY WHICH WAS MUCH ADMIRED BV VISITING ELKS. Of as much interest to the Elks as the motorboat races was the Sweet Pea Show held in the St. Johns City Dock. July 8 and S. Several hundred of the Elks went to the lower harbor on July 9 to witness the races staged by the Portland Motor-boat Club, but the show of flowers attracteed as much comment as the races. St. Johns has about accepted the Svret Pea City for its slogan and the display made on those two days gives It a right to accept that as a by-name. Then Freemen heard her stirring cry, and witn a gladsome shout They, raised the starry banner high, re solved to put to rout -tier every toe, botn lar and nigh, as only rreemen can. And songs of triumph, through the land. were sung by everv man. And this the glad refrain they sang, in chorus o er and o er: "We're coming mothers, sisters dear. ten times ten thousand more." "You've called us -and we're coming fast, in strength and hope and pride. To stand for rreedom to the last, our sisters dear beside. We care not for the cruel past, nor who s the coming man.' We only care for Liberty as loyal Free men can. And next time when the votes are in. and ail are counted o'er. You'll hear again the glad refrain, 'Ten times ten thousand more.' "From Clatsop and from Clackamas, from Linn and Tillamook, From Grant, Multnomah. Lane and C003 and Benton, iake and crook. From Josephine, Columbia, and loyal Washington And Union, Baker, and Yamhill, and proud old Marion; From where the Cascade mountain streams their foamy waters pour, We're coming mothers, sisters dear, . ten times ten thousand more. "From. Klamath's 'lakes and Wasco's plains, and Jackson's rolling hills. From Douglas -with her mines of gold, and Curry, with her mill!.; From Umatilla's burdened fields, and hills and dales of Folk, We're coming with our votes and with the songs of Joy we'll pour; We're coming mothers, sisters dear, 'ten times ten thousand more.' "From Malheur, with her flocks and herds. From Wheeler with her wheat-clad fields. To great Wallowa's granite stands; From Sherman, Morrow, cereal yields And Harney, rich in grazing lands. From fruit-clad hills and dales of Hood. To Gilliam's stock-farms, rich and good. And Lincoln's fisheries, fruit and wood From counties all the great state o'er, We'll vote 'ten times ten thousand . more.' " OS ANGELES, July 20. (Special.) The terrors of the new primary law, one of the many so-called "pro gressive" measures passed by the last legislature, or amended under the or ders of Governor Johnson, are begin ning to be appreciated . by county clerks throughout the state and com plaints are coming In from all quar ters. Much of the time of the district attorneys is being taken up in ex pounding the statute for the benefit of the other officials. To the taxpayer the new school of legislation comes home because of the fact that the cost of elections especially under the new primary law has been increased enor mously. This is due to the rotation clause particularly. Deputy District Attorney Hill, of the local office, who Is the authority on the election law, drew attention re cently to this "rotation" clause. It Is likely to have a pronounced effect, he believes, in the choice of candidates for the judiciary and for supervisors. Incidentally, he pointed out that it would require at least 45 and perhaps 60 different forms of the ballot in this county alone, throwing an exhausting burden on the County Clerk s office. "Part B of Section 7 of the primary law," he said, "reads as follows: 'If there is more than one assembly dis trict in such county, or city and county, the County Clerk or registrar of vo ters shall so arrange on the ballot the order of names (of candidates for an office wholly within the county not Assemblyirien, Congressmen or State Senators) that they shall appear in al phabetical order for that assembly dis trict in such county which Is lowest In numerical order, and thereafter for each succeeding assembly district in such county the name appearing first for such office in the last preceding as sembly - district shall be placed last, the order of the names remaining unchanged.' This means that a separate ballot will have to be printed for each party In each assembly district, with the order of the Judicial candidates, for Instance, changed. There are 15 as sembly districts in this county. Sup pose there are 20 candidates for the superior bench; then there will be five who will never have their names at the top in any district. The Secretary 01 fetate arranges the alphabetical order of the candidates for the Legis lature and for Congress." But how about the supervisors? In this county the office for which they will be candidates is wholly within the county and in each of the Supervisorial districts there are several Assembly districts. This Is one of the questions tne .District Attorney's office will have to answer. There are 21 candidates for the Su perior Court so far announced and ar ranged alphabetically they are: Frank s. Aaams, wuiiam l. Aiderson. William Frederickson, Byron Hanna. Frederick W. Houser, George H. Hutton, William T. Kendrick, Stephen J. Long. Paul T. McCormlck, Robert W. McDonald, Charles O. Morgan, Louis M. Myers, E. 1 Payne, James C. Rives, H. H. toser, J. H. Ryckman, John W. Summerfield, Fred H. Taft, Edward W. Tuttle. A. von Schrlltz and John M. York. Ryckman, Summerfield. Taft, Tuttle, von Schrlltz and York, In this list, will never reach the top of the ballot under the rotation clause. Roser, a Socialist, will lead in the Seventy-fifth District, which is strongly anti-socialist. Long, a Long Beach man, will head the ticket in the Sixty-eighth District, which lies east of the San Gabriel River, while Byron Hanna, chief deputy District Attorney and City Attorney of Venice, will be top man in the Socialist stronghold, the Sixty-fourth District. Police Judge Mc Donald, of Pasadena, will be the lead ing name in the Seventy-fourth Dis trict, which is all within the city limits of Los Angeles; while William T. Ken drick, of Los Angeles, will head the list in the Sixty-seventh, which is the Pasadena district. "It is remarked the Deputy District Attorney, after citing these examples. An icy wall of cold disdain has arisen between Nat Goodwin and Florence Roberts. It waa caused by a beauti ful Angora cat owned by Miss Rob erts. Both are guests at a big hotel and occupied adjoining suites. Good win abhors cats, and especially fluffy Angoras. Miss Roberts dotes on the felines. The management of the hotel officially abhors cats and forbids their presence in the rooms of guests. Unknown to the hotel managers and the lynx-eyed clerks Miss Roberts has kept a gorgeous Angora in her room. One bell boy was let into the secret and he will shortly set in business for himself. It was his duty each day to go surreptitiously to Miss Roberts' room and take the 'basket containing the prize to the root and give the Angora an airing. On the day of the recent excitement Goodwin strolled up to his room after stopping for a bit of airy persiflage with the clerk at the desk. Down In the lobby all was quiet. The clerk was carefully ex amining his polished dome in the glass. Suddenly the telephone bell rang with a loud raucous peaL A frantic voice was saying that a fe rocious wild animal had leaped out of the speaker's room and was running at large, seeking guests to devour. Help was demanded instantly. The head bellman and the head porter started on a run for the elevators. Thry rushed to the eighth floor whence had come the call for help. Goodwin ap proached them eagerly and demanded protection, saying something about be ing a free American and a guest ol the hotel. He told or having opened the door of his room and of an attack by a ferocious animal, either a bear or a wolf, he was not certain which. He had bravely sidestepped the on slaught of the savage beast and saw it dash down the corridor. The hotel attaches led the way. fol lowed at a discreet distance by Good win, until they came to a group ot maids seated about a table making love to a magnificent, large, white An gora cat. "There it is," cried Good win, pointing dramatically at the-cat "It leaped out of my room and almost bit me." The oat was confined in a cage and placed on the roof. When Miss Roberts returned to her room she demanded her pet. But she could not have it in her room. Hence the cold ness between . her and Goodwin. The bell boy, whose bank account had been growing so plethoric, finally admitted that he had put the cat in the wrong room by mistake. One of the features of the recent music teachers' convention here has been the novelty of ideas presented by members regarding music, its place and Its effect in modern life. Not least in teresting was the theory of Mrs. Lillie A. Birmingham, a member of the state association and a teacher in San Francisco. "If there ever comes a time," says Mrs. Birmingham, "when this world will be devoid of confirmed bachelors, women-haters and pining spinsters, it will be when every girl and woman is able either to sing or to play upon some musical instrument. It is pos sible for them all to become musicians to a certain degree. It is all very well to teach a girl to be a fine cook, house keeper and to be able to make her own clothes, but it is often the case that the culture of her finer qualities is neglected. The finest of all is music Music is JuBt as essential to a girl as the knowledge of cooking. Of course, she cannot eat her music, but she can so charm her friends and admirers that single life for her will be a thing un thought of. If she can play she will soon discover that she can cook as well. Music is kindred with all things. It so trains the nervous system that to acquire knowledge Is the easiest thing on earth. If a girl can play she can learn to do almost anything else. "Music is the one essential thing to bring out the sentiment In people. It reveals their depth of character. A girl who is devoid of music, if there is such a girl. Is also devoid of senti ment. Sentiment is one of the most beautiful things in the world, and one of the things that men try moat to hide. Women seldom hide it, but the men do. They think it makes them weak and womanish. But let a girl sit at her piano and sing a song that stirs within that man some memory and all the sentiment will rush to the surface. He may try to conceal It, but t is there. A irlrl with a sweet, musical voice, or ability to play, will always be the cen ter of attraction among ner inenas ana in her borne and she will always be able to bring the young man she wishes for a husband to her side, no matter how confirmed a bachelor he may De.

CRYSTAL BATH-HOUSE BUILT BY CARL NOESKE, OF SAX DIEGO, CAL. LONG BEACH, Wash., July 20. (Special.) It was opening day of the magnificent new Crystal Bath-house here today. The bath-house has just been completed by Carl Noeske, ot San Diego, Cal., the old one having been destroyed by fire last W'nter. The new pavilion is one of the largest and most complete bathing estab lishments in the Northwest. A complete electric light plant has been installed and the entire premises will be brilliantly lighted and will add a touch of "Coney Island" appearance at night. In addition to the large swimming pool, which is filled dally with fresh sea water, there are 20 private modern bathrooms where those who are not brave enough to battle with the rolling breakers can have the salt sea baths tempered to suit their individual wishes. Mr. Noeske expects to build another pool this Fall, much larger than the present one, to be used by men, women and children. The present one then will be for the exclusive use of women and children. Another feature of the new bath-house will be the modem Turkish and steam baths.
