FJLRFAX. Wash.. Aug. 15. (Spe
cial.) Over a route pioneeered by
men of their party, by a climb
marked with thrilling incidents, the
Mazamas last Monday established a new
record on Mount Rainier, taking to its
summit the largest party that has ever
stood on that crest at one time. Seventy-five
began the climb and 71 reached
the summit.
George X. Riddell and A. Boyd Will
iams mapped out the trail over the
Winthrop Glacier. The trip took two
days. Going from permanent camp
Sunday morning, the Mazamas camped
At an elevation of 9500 feet on the rocks
of Steamboat Prow, and on the follow
ing morning began the Anal ascent.
They reached the summit at 11:35 in
the morning.
They were divided into nine compa
nies, the members of each company
being roped together. Mr. Riddell
supervised the climb and the company
leaders were B. S. Darling, of Vancou
ver, B. C; Dr. W. E. Stone, of ftafay
ette, Ind.; Allan H. Bent, of Boston;
Dr. F. B. Wynn. of Indianapolis; R. L.
Glisan, Eddie gammons, John A. Lee
and F. W. Beneflel, of Portland, and
W. C. Yoran, of Eugene.
The most exciting incident of the
climb was when a snow bridge over a
crevasse caved Just as the last two in
the party headed by John A. Lee were
crossing. Only the presence of mind
of the members of the company and
the prompt action of those who had
reached firm ground saved the whole
party from being plunged into the
crevasse.

FEEDING HUNGRY MEN
IS SCIENTIFIC TASK
Captain Daugherty Tells Problem of Furnishing Ample Food for Troops in
Camp at Nominal Cost to Government.
BY CAPTAIN' W. F. DAUGHERTT.
TO the uninitiated the task of feed
ing 65 hungry soldiers, which was
the quota of Company B at Camp
Jackson this year, would be a stupen
dous one, especially in view of the fac.
that only 27 cents a day is the
amount allowed by the Government for
the purpose of feeding each man.
While this may seem a pitifully
small amount, yet by economical buy
ing, which is made possible by the
regimental commissary, and the care
ful preparation of the food by cooks
who are trained to Army cooking, a
very palatable and adequate menu Is
tnade possible.
This depends largely, however, upon
the skill of the cooks in preparing the
food and the Judgment used by the
sergeant in charge of the mess, who
does the purchasing.
Every company is rated on the qual
ity and quantity of its mess and the
amount taat can be saved. .In these
particulars B Company had the high
est rating of any company in the Third
Oregon this year.
Its savings amounted to $48.60 out of
(166.50 allowed for nine days' rations..
The first and most difficult problem
was the preparing of the first meal
after arriving in camp for it is in this
that all the ingenuity of the cooks and
mess sergeant are brought into action,
because of the chaos which is general
ly prevalent on first arriving in camp.
First Meal Problem.
Materials for cooking seemed to
have diabolical propensities of becom
ing lost. The camp stove may be lo
cated, but the stovepipe is always
missing.
Pots and pans which should have ar
rived on the first supply wagon usually
arrive on the last, two hours after they
are needed.
The food supply is also limited be
cause of the fact that the commisary
department is in nw better condition to
Issue supplies than the companies are
to preparo It, but despite these unpleas
ant conditions the fact still remains
that the men must be fed.
By dint of considerable effort this
meal is finally served and by the fol
lowing morning order has taken the
place of chaos and the camp has set
tled down to regular daily routine.
Variety Is Essential.
The most essential requirement is a
sufficient quantity of substantial food,
also that there be a variety. For this
purpose the regimental commissary
usually measures up to all require
ments. Beef, bacon, dry vegetables,
dried fruits and such other non-perishable
articles are always to be had In
such quantities as may be desired.
These are issused to the companies
at a fairly nominal price. Beef is sold
at 12 cents a pound, bacon at 17
cents a round, corree 18 cents a pouna
milk 7 cents a quart and other things
in proportion.
To each mess sergeant is issued
daily the sales slip of the articles pur
chased by him for the day and the
cost thereof.
It is his duty to see that no unneces
sary articles are purchased and that
he does not exceed his allowance. This
is excellent training, for should the
eventuality arise that our troops be
called Into service the lesson of feed
ing from a limited food supply would
in a measure at least have been
learned.
The accompanying is the menu for
two days, July 16 and 17, as served by
Company B:
Breakfast, July 16.
Roast Beef Hash French Toast
Minced Brown potatoes
Apple Sauce
Bread, Syrup and Coffee
Lunch, Julr 16.
Pork and Beans Stewed Tomatoes
Minced Brown Potatoes
Rice Pudding- and Coffee
Supper. July 16.
Clam chowder.
Roast Beef Potatoes "au gratln"
Apple Sauce
Bread. Butter and Coffee
Breakfast. July 17.
Fried Kggs French Toast
Stewed Prunes Bacon
Fried Potatoes
Bread. Sjtud and Coffee.
Lunch, July 17.
Vegetable Soup Boiled Beet and Cabbage
Breaded Tomatoes Bread Pudding
Bread. Butter and Coffee
Supper, Job 17.
Pork and Beans Creamed Potatoes
Stewed Peaches Rice Pudding
Bread, Butter and Coffee
Feeding Done Systematically,
These two days are no exception, as
this customarily constitutes the usual
camp fare, and while there are few
knick-knacks, yet there is a plentiful
quantity of nourishing food, well pre
pared. The feeding of the men is not
a haphazard proposition by any means.
It is just as much a science as war
fare Itself.
Before each meal is .served a
thorough inspection is made by the
Colonel and his staff of officers and if
there be any deficiency either in the
quantity or quality of the food or in
the manner in which it Is prepared or
in the sanitary conditions surrounding
the kitchen, the company commander
is immediately taken to task, for it is
his duty to see that all requirements
of the kitchen are met with.
In these respects B. Company was
highly commended and Its commander
can be congratulated on its high rating.

words have charming sentiment, and
the music is melodious and easy to

COLLIE SAVES ITS MASTER
Dog Beats Off of Unconscious Man
Nearly 1 00 Hogs.
OTTAWA, Mont.. Aug. 5. W. C.
Parks, a farmer living three miles
northeast of here, owes his life to the
fidelity of his collie dog, which beat
off from his master's body for three
hours nearly 100 hogs.
Parks had fallen from a tree and lay
insensible and badly injured on the
ground. The yelping of the dog, which
was plainly a cry of distress, brought
aid from a farmhouse half a mile away.
When assistance arrived the dog was
almost exhausted, He had killed one
hog and others were almost dead.
Parks discovered a long tree limb,
which raked hay from the wagons as
they were drawn by. Climbing the tree,
ha bezan to saw off the limb, fell and
struck on his head in the pig lot. His
head and chest were badly hurt and he
was unconscious when discovered by
farm hands.
Plea Made for All to Join
Community Sing.
Mrs. Thomas Carrlek Rnrke Says
Kvrat Should Start Singing as In
voluntary Expresnlon of Enjoyment.
Ann Swinburne.
BY MRS. THOMAS CARRICK BUItKK. .
THE community "sing" next Tuesday
should call out thousands of peo
ple. Americans sing too little s!s a
nation. In the family and in public
gatherings, much less than do the peo
ples of Europe, though Europeans soon
forget their singing halflt and their
lovely folk-songs once they come to
us. much less than we did a generation
ago. Whyf Perhaps because there Is
now so much ready-made entertainment
and because the trained singers over
shadow the untrained and discourage
the impulse to sing Just for the love
of singing. With the passing of the
"singing-school and the advent of the
song-recital and the phonograph, the
old spontaneous song of the community
has vanished. Again, America has pro
duced few singable songs. Aside from
some art s6ngs, our musical expres
sion has almost universally taken the
form of ragtime.
What self-respecting gathering of any
size could look itself in tho face and
sing ragtime as a unit? It has been
necessary to go back four or five dec
ades to find for this "sing" composi
tions of enough beauty and value to
be retained in the musical memory
of a people. So, while we pay fab
ulous prices to hear the world's great
est singers In concert and opera, our
gatherings have been mute. A nation
which sings, though it sings only the
simplest folk-songs, Is more musical
than a nation which merely listens, and
ws must cultivate the habit of sing
ing as a people If we hope to ,l..pn
our musical consciousness. Let us
start with the Multnomah field "sing"
and keep on until singing becomes an
Involuntary expression of enjoyment on
all future occasions.
The Rose Festival would gain In
color and poetry and beauty If It were
brightened by the gay outbursts of song
which add so much charm to the car
nivals of Southorn Europe. Let's defy
those who make a fetish of voice, plac
ing and tone production Just this ones
and "make a Joyful noise unto ths
Lord," singing the old heart songs to
gether. PASTOR WEDS SECRETLY
Bride Friend of lAirmer Wile MM
New Fatlier-in-Law Aiinr.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7.- Several years
ago. when tho Hcv. Walter S. Mslnes

association and Frank Ititter. Miss Kil
ter's father, was the proprietor of a
