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

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. Kettle drums

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

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

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.

Of as much interest to the Elks as the motorboat races was the Sweet Pea Show held in the St. Johns City

staged by the Portland Motor-boat Club, but the show of flowers attracteed as much comment as the races.

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.

LONG BEACH, Wash., July 20. (Special.) It was opening day of the magnificent new Crystal Bath-house
