iOR.TL.AND people who live tor years
almost within the shadow of
Mount Hood and yet fall to climb
that mountain miss one of the grand
eat outings in the world. This is the
unanimous opinion of those who once
ascend the mountain, whether they are
inexperienced mountaineors or have
toured the Alps and visited the most
famous scenic spots of both hemi
spheres. The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion Is one organization that fully ap
preciates Mount Hood's value to Port
land as an outing resort, and which is
doing everything possible to attract
attention to the trip. Every "year one
or more parties from the Association
climb the mountain and they always
return' enthusiastic over their excur
sion. This season one ascent has al
ready been made by a company com
posed of both men and women, and
which was the first mixed party that
the Association has ever sent' out on
this trip. They will be followed next
Thursday by a group of probably 30
men, who will rough it from Portland
to thfc mountain, covering a large part
of the distance on fo&t.
Trip Ttala Year Enjoyable.
None of the Y. II. C. A.'s Mount Hood
trips have been more enjoyable than
the, one that ended last Sunday, despite
some unfavorable conditions that were
encountered. The party left Portland
on Thursday, July 3, In automobiles,
going the first day to Rhododendron.
On July 4 they proceeded to Govern
ment Camp, from where they got an
early start 'or the top on the morning
of July 6. Although the season has been
unusually rainy, the roads were found
In good condition. This was particu
larly true between Rhododendron and
Government Camp, much to the sur
prise of the excursionists who had been
cautioned that they had bettor leave
their machines at Rhododendron and go
by stage to the camp. A few acted on
this advice, but they regretted their
decision as the road was found excel
lent for automobiles.
"Although the scenery Is beautiful
along this road? the highway itself is
so good that one would hardly realize
from it that he was in the mountains."
said A M. Grllley, physical director of
the Y. M. C. A. and leader of the party.
"In fact When we wanted to take a
picture, showing some rough mountain
eering, we rolled a rock out on the
road to give the picture the right kind
of 'atmosphere.' "
The picture to which MV. Grillev re
fers shows him with F. H. Fleming
and F. L. Schanz on the "hike," having
left the automobiles to those who pre
ferred to reserve their strength for the
spurt up the peak.
Snow Encountered Early.
Even before the timber line, was
reached snow was encountered. This
made progress difflcul, and especially

on some of the snowfields where the
crust .was weak was the going far from
easy. Occasionally a member of the
party would break through and flounder
up to his arms. All of this retarded the
ascent, which was made July 6. so that
the summit was not reached until well
along In the afternoon, although the
start had been made shortly after 4
o'clock in the morning. At Crater Rock
a stop for luncheon was made, and tea
brewed on the hot rocks. There was
considerable delay here while the guides
placed ropes for the aid of the climb
ers, and a number of the party did not
attempt the final lap to the summit.
'When the top was reached no trace
of the permanent -record box could ' be
found, as it was deep in the snow. After
searching for some time, they gave up
hope of registering and confined their
attention to the scenery. Mr. Grllley,
who has made the ascent seven times,
says that he had never known the at
mosphere clearer. Portland could be
seen distinctly, while In the opposite di

EW YORK, July 12. (Special.)
The suit of Miss MignonHopkins,
a good-looking cloak model of
Philadelphia, against William Sulzer,
Governor of New York, is attracting
considerable ' attention in s political
circles, for it was stated e'ome time ago
that Tammany was busy looking up the
Governor's history in an attempt to
discredit him.

that the Governor promised to marry
her in 1903. She is now about 30 years
old and lives with her two sisters. She
states that she became engaged to Wil.
liam Sulzer on September 16, 1903, and
that on that date he asked her to be
come nis wiie Dut to Keep it secret
until he was able to marry her. She
claims that she complied with his re
quest and lived with him from time
to time, and for several years accom
panied him on trips and lived, with hin
in various hotels, and that she was In
troduced to his friends as his wife.
They were together. Miss Hopkins
said, until November 7, 1907, when she
went to Boston to nurse a sick sister,
and that Sulzer wrote her assuring her
of his loyalty. She was greatly sur
prised to find that William Sulzer was
mai led in Atlantic City - to another
woman on January 8, 1908, and since
that time she had not seen or heard
from him. -
In explanation of her failure to bring
suit at an earlier date, Miss Hopkins,
in a recent interview, said that she
had often thought of taking such
action, but feared publicity, in addi
tion to being compelled to reveal a
number of secrets which she would
prefer to keep to herself.
Governor Sulzer refused to discuss
the matter. "It's all rot," he said em
phatically. "It is Just another political
plot of my enemies."
Tammany Hall is highly indignant
that any one should connect its or
ganization with the suit, but shrewd
observers are somewhat skeptical and
are awaiting further developments with
keen Interest.
Giria to Traia for Home.
The Board of Education is busy at
the present time in spite of the fact
that the schools are closed. The
strenuous problem as to whether mar
rled women teachers shall be permitted
to have babies Is still engrossing their
attention, but they are also considering
establishing a new "hqme craft" course
of study for the wadleigh High School
which will prepare young girls who do
not intend to go to college for the
duties of home building, of wifehood
and of motherhood. It has been recom
mended by the board of superintendents
and finds favor with the members of
the committee on studies and text
books, which committee will recom
mend Its adoption by the Board of Edu.
cation, probably at Its next meeting.
Among the subjects proposed are
cooking, the care and remodeling of
clothing, household arithmetic, sanita
tion, household chemistry, physiology
and current events. The girls will also
acquire a knowledge, of practical law,
economics, the essentials of right con
duct and art, including home decora
tion and music.
Priest Denounces Fashions.
Mgr. James S. Duffy, one of the best
known Catholic clergymen in New
York City, does not hesitate to express
himself freely when he feels that the
A occasion- warrants it.
At tne commencement exercises Hi
his parish school, Degraw and Hoyt
streets, Brooklyn, he delivered a scath
ing denunciation of present-day fash
ions. He reminded the parents that the
school was delivering over to them the
children over whom watchful care had
been exercised for many years and
cautioned them not to pamper their
daughters, saying:
"Don't allow them to Judge for them
selves what kind of dresses to wear.
They don't know. Some of the fash
Ions nowadays are disgracefully im
moral and inventions of the devil.
There are' too many giddy, senseless
and weak-minded mothers who allow
their daughters to wear clothes that
are shamefully immodest Just because
its the fashion.
"Some weak mothers say, "Well, I'll
let her wear it Just because it's fash
ionable.' It is Just such thlngB that are
sending your children to hell and they
will send you fathers and mothers to
hell, too, because of yaur laxity. What
a judgment is In store for those who
do not guard their children!"
City May Make Its Ice.
Borough President McAneny's filan
for a municipal Ice plant is held up
Indefinitely, for the Board of Aldermen
has nled the application for special
revenue bonds to the amount of S40.-
000. The expenditure would save the
city thousands of dollars a year upon
the ice used In its own denartments
and the Board of Aldermen may. -upon
mature renection. decide to errant the
application.
The city now buys from Drlvatu com
panies Ice for its own use at the pre
vailing prices, runnlnK as high as sio
a ton. The average orlce of ion houe-ht
under contract, which is lower than the
price of that which is bought on
open market orders." ran ires between
$1 and f5 a ton. By the use of its
power now going to waste Mr. Mc-
Aneny states that the city could man
ufacture and deliver ice at $2.50 a ton.
An ice-making plant which could pro
duce 25 tons a day could be installed
in the Hall of Records for 125,000.
Mr. McAneny also advocates that a
portion of the product of the city plant,

department for sale at cost at the milk
stations maintained by the citv in
crowded sections. It Is well known
that these milk stations have greatly
lessened Infant mortality.
LA PINE MOURNS PIONEER
Commercial Club Adopts Resolutions
on Death of AV. J. Xicliolas.
LA PINE, Or.. July 12. (Soeclal.l
The La Pine Commercial Club at a spe
cial meeting adopted the following
resolutions on the death of W. J
Nichols:
Whereas, A divine and a!l-seeinr 'Prov
idence has seen fit to call Mr. W." J.
Nichols from his work In the Forestry
Service here, to the greater work beyond;
and.
Whereas, Mr. W. J. Nichols has long- been
known to the older residents of the La
Pine country as a man amongst men; as a
man who knew this country well and loved
it; who had the bigness to understand the
needs of the settler, while fully carrying
out the principles of forestry conservation;
whom every man considered his friend and
of whom no word, save In praise, was ever
spoken; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the La Pine Commercial
Club, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy
to his 'family, who mourn the loss of a hus
band and father; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to Mrs. w. J. Nichols, at Cen
tral Point, Or., to the Honorable Secretary
of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, and
td The Portland Oregonian.
Electricity in Tanning.
ine electric process of tanning
leather has been in experimental use
in England for some time, and it has
now reached a stage of development
that warrants its adoption on a com
mercial basis. A large electrical com
pany is now engaged in installing such
a plant in one of the leading English
tanneries. Specially constructed vats
are filled with the hides, along with
metal conductors to effect the electro
lytic action, and after this preparation
has been completed the remainder of
the process is almost automatic for
mechanical provisions are made lo pre
vent any damago owing to excess of
current. The current passing through
tne niaes Hastens tne tanning process
to the extent that six weeks suffice to
do the work which formerly required
several months. The automatic feature
of the tanning process makes it an
economical one, and two men are thus
enabled to take care of all the vats of
a large tannery, whereas under the old
system the services of five or six men
were required.
Rude Rejoinder From Boston.
Edison says that In 100 years there
will be no poverty. None for any of
us, certainly.

Edna Goodrich says that "blondes
must go." Well, they are going. Sev

book and put down all the clever
things you hear." One about the size
of a stamp book will last several years.

BURLESON RECEIVES "BACK
FROM POSTMASTER HE TRIED TO OUST
Taft Appointee Refuses to Quit Until
"Dividends San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. July" 12.
(Special.) San Francisco seems to
be the storm center so far as the
National Administration is concerned.
First It was the DlKgs-Camlnettl scan.
day that shook ' the administration
from bow to stern. McNab'a disclosures
refrardins the attitude of the Federal
authorities on the prosecution of the
scions of two well-known Democratic
DOlltlclann opened up the dispute.
Comes now the fipht between Postmas
ter-General Burleson and .Postmaster
Arthur L. Flske, of San Francisco, as
to whether the San Franciscan Is to
retire to give way to some roan of
Democratic tendencies.
Flske was reappointed by President
Taft about a year ago. Although his
term has something like three years to
run, Flske -was politely but firmly re
auested . to submit his resignation.
Thereupon the postmaster dictated a
letter to the Postmaster-General, in
which he Just as finmly declined. He
set forth that he had been appointed
for-a set term; that his work was pre
sumably satisfactory and -that he saw
no- reason for dropping his berth.
Then came a peremptory wire from
Burleson advising Flske to get out.
The postmaster replied in terms that
were Just as tart to the effect that he
recognized no superior save the Presi
dent of the United States and that he
would not step down and out until the
President told him to do so.
Burleson, so the story goes, raved
over ' the situation and was for filina
charges and throwing his man out
bodily.
Cooler heads prevailed and now. It is
said, another scheme has been decided
upon. - The President will send to the
Senate for confirmation the appoint
ment of some San Francisco Democrat
for the position. If the confirmation
is forthcoming. Fiske will automatical
ly be out of a berth.
Mayor TtolpU Scores.
Mayor Rolph has scored again. Run
ning the cars down to the ferry on
Market street has placed-'the Geary
municipal road on a stable financial
basis. It has not as yet reached a
profitable stage, but the increased re
ceipts since the cars began running
through from ferry to beach encour
ages the hope that the enterprise will
be fully able to carry itself
The road is now earning a surplus
over and above operating expenses and
interest charges, but not quite enough
to provide a. redemption fund in addi
tion to the cost of renewals and the
amount required to reimburse the city
for the loss of taxes on the property
taken over. But for the Mayor the
Geary-street road would still be a los
ing proposition and virtually useless
as an agency of transportation to the
exposition.
Public convenience owes an enormous
debt to the Mayor. Formerly the
Geary-street cars stopped at Iotta's
fountain and the .Sutter and Jackson
street cars of the United Railroad
stopped at Sansome and Market streets.
Now they all run to the ferry and the
horse cars, relics of an early age, have
been banished. The city has gained
in money, in convenience and in looks.
Reports are published almost daily
as to the receipts. Whereas before
the through service the receipts had
been in the neighborhood of $1000, they
jumped to more than $2000 on the
Fourth of July and were almost as
heavy on the Sunday following.
Tlvoll Doesnt't Satisfy.
The Tivoli Opera-house is not doing
as well as it was hoped. It does not
seem to have struck a popular gait.
Like everything else in the new San
Francisco, it is different from the old
Tivoli. It does not satisfy and It does
not draw.

Told to Do So by President Mayor
Longs for Old Tivoli and Refuses to
by opening with grand opera and fol
lowing it up with comic opera pre
sented by a musical comedy company.
Gilbert & Sullivan's operas were com
posed to be "Bung and not danced.
Hence, music lovers would not flock
to see Iolanthe danced Instead of sung.
Grand opera at New York prices did
not fit in with Tivoli traditions. The
grand opera season was not a success
financially or musically and it" did not
pay as an advertising experiment. Silk
hats, opera cloaks, bare shoulders and
Broadway prices for seats did not im
press old Tivoli-goers. It was like
champagne and cavier to palates ac
customed fo beer and cheese.
Good operas at popular prices is
what San Francisco hungers for.

PAR and wide are the. tidings of
the work of womankind; tributes
come from every' nation to the
mothers of the land.
"God could not be everywhere, and
so hs made mothers" was the quota
tion used by one of the speakers at
the luncheon given by the Oregon Con
gress of Mothers and Parent Teacher
Associations to the delegates attend
ing the World's Christian Citizenship
Conference, prefacing his own belief
that "motherhood is the most authen
tic style of divinity we can find here
on this earth; what America needs is
mothers, good mothers. Christian
mothers, home-making mothers; every
child has a right to be well born, well
nourished and well protected; every
child has a right to a fair chance in
life and to such an education as will
fit it for life and for citizenship; every
child is entitled to a right to play and
to be a child."
This, in brief, is the doctrine of the
Parents' ..Educational Bureau, which
was originated and developed by the
mothers of Oregon, and which is being
spread broadcast over the land. The
guests from foreign nations and from
all parts of the country and from
across the border will all take back

Logger Takes Own Ivife.
CHNTRALIA, Wash., July 11. (Spe
cial.) Thomas Boyle, a logger em
ployed by the Wisconsin Lumber Com
pany at Littel. committed suicide by
laying his head on the railroad track

He was decapitated. Boyle was about

physically and psychologically. The
"movies" have also caught the child
specialist pointing out to parents the
little defects and explaining how they
may be remedied. All this will travel
into the innermost corners of the earth,
and will be shown simultaneously to
millions of mothers.
And yet a third medium for pub
licity of this movement has been vol
untarily presented. A writer for a
metropolitan publication recently paid
a visit to Portland: it was to have
been a fleeting visit, but to use tha
language of this pen-woman "I came
to spend but a day or so; I have been
here almost a week and feel that I
have only scratched the surface. Your
Parents' Educational Bureau and your
juvenile market are something as yet
unheard of and undreamed of else
where. I nhall watch the outcome of .
these movements and expect to see
tharn taken up and made National feat
ures. Certainly the women of Oregon
have many things to their credit."
Local Interest Grows.
Locally the interest continues to
grow and the demands upon the Bu
reau are constantly increasing; moth
ers who came at first through curiosity
came back again and brought others
for advice, and later on those who had
profited by the advice came back to
speak in glowing terms of the results.
Thus the work of the Mothers of Ore
gon is bringing in an abundant har
vest. Word has- just been received from
the United States Department of Agri
culture, Office of Public Roads, that
the Government has appointed Miss
Luna E. Bigelow as a lecturer to aid
in the good roads and child welfare
work. Miss Bigelow will give illus
trated talks and give to teachers some
veiy practical suggestions and out
lines for their school work. The pur
pose of the lectures is to show the re

economic and social side of life, espe
cially the education of children in the .
