Reminiscences of a Chef Making Famou the Old Astor Hou Some are rone, and some remain to drift out here from time to time, of that merry crowd of celebri ties who used to gather at the round table each evening: to partake of the table d'hote dinner. To me Just the mention of the bytrone brings the recollection of many names and many faces. Ifl 8 y Sunday's dinner in the Arcadian Garden served table d'hote, from six until eight, is well chosen in menu, elegant in service, and fitting in style.

MISS SUZANNE IS ABOUT THE YOUNGEST MEMBER TO BE ON HAND ALL THE TIME. THK Portland Hunt Club's annual point-to-point race, held at Gar den Home yesterday afternoon, was won by Eugene Oppenhelmer, astride Frank. Nearly SO members made the day the occasion for a jaunt on horseback. The race itself was laid through a beautiful stretch of woodland, just south of the Hunt Club tract. . The start and finish were juet south of the Garden Home station. On the return, the riders - finished over- a straight-away of three-eighths of a mile. Dr. G. Murphy was master of hounds. At a signal from him the horses broke for the final stretch. The finish was a close one and gave the spectators along the last half mile a real thrill. The course was a little over four miles in length and w-as marked by six point flags. William Walters, on Ella Hart, took second. Third was taken by Howard Charlton; mounted on Tamarack. Walter Gruetter was well to the front, when Lady Myrt'e. his mount, slipped and fell, putting him out of the running. Others in the race were: James Nicol, on Edgewood Girl; Russell Hub bard, on Tasco; Dr. John Coghlan and H. Smith, a visitor from Berlin, Germany. The next biar thing at the Hunt Club will bo the annual Spring meet. The directors meet in a few. days to an nounce the date. SNOWSHOES ABANDONED ; ON MT. HOOD'S SLOPES James L. Loder and George R. Miller Make First Trip Up Treacherous Sides and Wallow Waist Deep in Pilled Ravines and Slides. - 1 1 J - J around in these drifts, we got off the trail. We came around the mountain below the inn. For the last quarter of a mile we climbed straight up the mountain side? To me it seemed like a 4 5 degree pitch. "We got to the inn about 1:30. The first thing I did .was to get my shoes off and warm my feet. Except for my wet feet, I did not find the trip very hard. "Yet in spite of the snow, the sun was hot. I sat on the south veranda, with my shoes off, and almost blistered my feet on the boards. My wet clothing steamed in the sunshine. "The view from the inn was magnifi cent. Off to the north we could see Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens glistening like white marble in the blue haze. . There was not a cloud in sight. Before we left a fog had. rolled up around the summit of Mount Hood. ".Below us was Ghost Ridge, lined with the trails of skiing parties. Six or eight miles off lay Lost Lake. It appeared to be frozen over, but we were not sure. Lookout Point, too, was capped with snow. "We stayed at the inn for two and one-half hours. We took a number of ictures. Most of them were very good. It was an ideal day for'' photography. At 4 o'clock we started down the mountain, following Ghost Ridge. We struck the wagon road at China Kill. We made good time the rest of the way to Miller's cabin, - arriving there about 6 P. M. My only object in making the trip was to see if it could be done. Every body said that we could never make it without snowshoes." PASTOR MINUS CHURCH OR PAY WORKS 44 YEARS Rev. Troy Shelley, a Minister Without Denomination, Honored by Odell Families He Has Served for Nearly Half Centnry of Development. THE first trip made this year with out snowshoes to Cloud Cap Inn. on Mount Hood, was made on Monday, April 6, by James Lw Loder, of Sherman. Clay & Company, and George R. Miller, official guide on the mountain. Sinking into the snow to their waists for a part of the distance, the two men covered the last seven miles. Mr. Loder says. In four hours. "I left Portland for Hood River Sat urday night," said Mr. Loder. "At Hood River I changed from the O.-W. R. & N. to the Mount Hood Railway and went on to Farkdale. Miller met me At Farkdale with a team, and we drove to his homestead, about seven miles south of Farkdale. "Miller's homestead Is about seven miles directly east of Cloud Cap Inn. He has been official gude on the mountain for five years. "On Monday morning, about 9:30, we started the climb, following the Old Hanger's trail.

The OOD RIVER. Or., May 9. (Special.) In his 70th year 'Rev. Troy Shel- ey. of the Odell district. of this county, has Just resigned from a serv ice of 44 years in the ministry, and a service as unique as may be fouml in the religious annals of the Northwest. For 44 years Mr. Shelley has preached as a minister without a denomination and without a salary. For 40 years he has been a resident of the Hood River Valley. He was born in Iowa, January 6, 1845. In 1848 he crossed the plains with his parents by or team and. prai rie schooner. His ministerial work began In 1870. Incidents of his work in his own words are as follows: "I- moved to Hood River Valley, on the place on which I now reside, on July 22, 1882. No kind of religious work was even attempted then. There was no Sunday school, no schoolhouse and no church. When the people of the community now known as Odell began, erecting a nrnnnsitlnn Vi 'j u V. . n tali.n .1 n Ylrt?h members of the City Commission and schoolhouse In 1883, I began preaching It is said promises of support have """" "- - been made. The project will Involve & series of deep fills and some heavy cuts. The maximum grade will be about 4 per cent. It is proposed to have the street. car company place tracks along the course. In so doing it is said the running time between St. Johns and the center of Portland can be cut down about 15 minutes. near my spring. I hauled lumber and erected some temporary open-air pews. After the schoolhouse was finished I began holding services there every Sun day, year in and year out, as well as conducting Sunday school services. had withdrawn from my own denomi nation, the Disciples, holding the be lief to which I still adhere, that the true church in any place consists of all The assessment district as proposed the true Christians who meet to wor on the north slope of Mount Hood. The elevation is about 6000 feet. "The weather was fine. In Portland It was raining, but from the time I reached Hood River till I got back to Portland I saw nothing but sunshine. "For the first four miles everything was fine. There was almost no snow, and we made fine time. Miller was carrying a 6x7 plate camera, weighing about 25 to 30 pounds, but he seemed to think nothing of it. "But the last three miles were dif ferent. I had on English shoes of low cut. As soon as we got to the snow I got them full of it. Then the snow melted. My shoes were like wet raga. My feet were almost frozen. "At the higher elevation on the mountain the snow is from six inches to 20 feet deep. In places the snow lay level with the lower limbs of the pine trees. Tilly Jane Canyon was drifted full. We. never knew when we crossed it. "We sank into this snow all the way from our knees to our hips. Wallowing is bounded on the north by tho city limits, on the west by Willamette boulevard; on the south by Russell street and on the east by a line north of Killingsworth, between Boston and Omaha streets to Bryant street, thence west to Delaware avenue, north to Wil lis boulevard, west to Peninsula ave nue- and thence to the city limits. The distance at present by way of Willams avenue is said to be 3.o7 miles with 60 intersections to cross. By the new route along the east bank of the Willamette down to Russell street the distance is 2.33 miles, a saving of 1.24 mile, with only five intersections to cross. The cost of the project is estimated at 8169,000 of which $62,000 will be for securing a right of way $66,000 for grading, and $41,000 for paving. The average cost to each of the 15,000 lots in the assessment district would be about $5. Of the total cost of the boulevard - abutting property owners would pay a total of $85,000 and the remainder of the district 584. Don Behind the movement at present is the Peninsula Associate 1 Improvement Clubs, comprising clubs of the Uni versity, Portsmouth, Peninsula, Arbor Lodge and Willamette districts. C. L. McKenoa is chairman and M. H. Carter secretary of the associate body. ship there no matter whether they have formally united -with the organ ization or not. I have always stood on the platform that I would offer the hand of fellowship to any Christian irrespective of minor beliefs or doc trines. "For 12 years I continued this woTk according to my belief. "in 1901 we built a union church. "I could never have accomplished my tasks without the aid of my wife, who did without many of the things that she might have had but for the time spent in the ministry. "From the beginning of my work here to the close, I have never received salary, cor have I ever taken up collection. Occasionally I have re ceived voluntary contributions. In the early days I purchased 160 acres of school land, and the rise in values of this on account of the fruit industry has made me quite comfort able, financially. I can truly say that the Lord has provided for me bounti fuly. While I have never had a sal ary, I am in better financial clrcum stances than many ministers who have preached for a salary all their lives, On Sunday, May 3, the people of the Odell community prepared a surprise for the aged minister. He was invited to conduct the communion services. Rev. J. G. Tate, who is now pastor of the Union church, which is now desig nated a federated congregation, eulo glzed the work of Mr. snelley. Ad dresses were delivered by Leslie But ler and M. D. Odell, and at the close of the meeting a well-filled purse was presented to Mr. Shelley. NATIVE BORN CHINESE "WED IN PORTLAND.
