AN Interesting trip over the snow to
Mount Hood to enjoy skiing on
the lower stretches of the moun
tain pn New Year's day, brought Into
existence last week a new organization
of lovers of out-door life and Winter
Bports the Mazama Ski Club.
Ed Peterson, Guy Thatcher, Charles
Merton and Conrad Sieberts left on the
trip, December 29. Billy Cramer left
.Portland on the previous day and made
the entire trip on foot. I
AVe were met at Bull Run by our kind
friend. Otto Ashoff, who took us in his
machine as far as he could make any
headway, but had to give it up within
a mile of Tollgate, on account of the
deep snow.
We put on our snow-shoes and amid
yells of farewell to Otto started on our
climb for Government Camp, arriving
by the Iltrht of the moon at midnight.
The trip will long be remembered by
all In the party as one of the most beau
tiful and enjoyable trips ever taken as
the night was clear as crvstal and the
moon and ptars seemed close enough to
touch. We gave a jovful yell when from
the top of the last hill the lights of the
hotel could be seen. The hospitable
managers. Fridmore & Fox, met us with
open arms and welcomed us to a good
red-hot fire and a table set with all
honors due a king.
Mrs. Pridmore and Mrs. Fox were
ready to serve the steaming hot dishes
of good eats to be put out of sight by
the six hungry mountain climbers. After
the good meal we all put up for the
much-needed rest, but could not sleep
long for the fever of skiing had already
gotten into our bones, and we were up
again bright and early.
The morning was spent In small ski
runs to get us in shape once more. In
the afternoon our guide, Mr. Pridmore,
took us to a steeper and longer run and
by night we had revived all our old
tricks and a lot of new ones.
The next day was spent exploring the
HUs and our guide with his usual wit
kept us amused at all times, never go
ing over tne same run twice as he
would say we must have a new hill with
more snap.
Plans had been made to climb Mount
VHood and set off "red fire." but owing
to the condition of the snow the ascent
was not made, we spent the last even
Jng of the old year with musio and
games. Justice was done to the lunch
served at midnight by our hostess.
Greetings for the New Year wer -r
tended by phone to the Mazamas who
were having an outlnsr at Ashoffs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (Special.)
New York, or rather the restau
rant and hotel men of New York,
found a way of getting around the
fact that New Year's eve came on a
Sunday by celebrating for three days
Instead of one. At almost all of thai
hotels and eating places suppers and
entertainment of various sorts were
provided on Saturday and Sunday even
ings, with the big welcome to 1917 on
Monday the- second. Of course the
epirlt was not quite the same, but In
this city of constant excitement any
and everything is an excuse for a cel
ebration, and far be it from the res
taurateurs to forego the rich harvest
which the first of the year annually
brings to them.
For some reason or other, probably
as an aftermath of the intense rush
and excitement of the Christmas shop
ping and festivities. It is getting to be
more and more the fashion to leave
town over New Year's, and this year.
more than ever before, whole families
have migrated, either to their country
places or to the myriads of hotels, all
within easy striking distance of New
York, which cater largely to the Win
ter traveler.

past to secure hotel accommodations at

stalwart men who braved the Christmas

packed trail, and the wind's mad howl,
convened with one supreme object In
mind. That purpose, born In brave
hearts which do or die, was achieved
in the conventional organization of the
Mazama Ski Club. The officers are as

Thatcher, vice-president; Billy Cramer,
secretary; Charles Merton, treasurer; L.

Sieberts, publicity man.
Membership requirements are that all

that reason the hotels of this city,
while they are Just as crowded as be
fore, are not the scene of quite so much
social activity.
Many te Attend BalL
Twenty thousand persons. Including
Governor Whitman, Mayor Mltchel and
many men and women prominent In the
official and social life or rnew xorK,
are expected, to attend the "Greater
New York Civic Ball," to be given at
the Hotel Biltmore January 12. The
money raised. Is to be used for salaries
of nurses for the after care of victims
of the Infantile paralysis epidemic, of
which there are 5700 under the public
charge.
The ball Is under the special patron
age of President Woodrow Wilson,
Governor Charles S. Whitman, Mayor
John Purroy Mitchel, Dr. Haven Emer
son, of the health department, and a
large number of men of equal promi
nence, so it can readily be seen how
much Importance and significance Is
attached to the raising of this fund.
Part of the money will also be used to
buy braces for nearly 10.000 children,
who without them are in danger of
becoming helpless cripples.
One of the largest conventions ever
held here started last week at Earl
Hall, Columbia College. It was the
first of the great convocation meetings
in tbe cause of science, which are to
be held every four years, from now on,

This did not dampen the spirits of the

try the new snow.. With regret we left
camp with memories of the most enjoy
able trip ever made by the members o
the party, thanks to the kindness of the
managers of the hotel.

Advancement of Science and 60 affil
iated societies.
More than 4000 leading scientists
from all parts of the world were In
attendance at the four days' sessions,
while fully that many other persons
attended as spectators. Scientific pre
paredness was the keynote of the con
gress and it is anticipated that great
good will come from the bringing to
gether of so many experts "in the dif
ferent branches of science and the ex
change of ideas and opinions.
Among those on the committees
were Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller
Institute (who. by the way, has issued
a warning about the recurrence and
danger of a spread of the Infantile
paralysis plague during the coming
year); Nicholas Murray Butler, Henry
Osburn, Andrew Carnegie. Joseph
Choate, Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs.
Henry Fairfield Osborn and Mrs. Fred

Sfew Invention Described.
At one of theN meetings Boris N.
Weinberg, a professor in the Imperial
University at Petrograd, described in
detail a new method of transportation,
wmcn it is claimed has a possible
speed of 300,000 kilometers a second
and an easily attained speed of S00
miles an hour. The invention, or
rather idea, is of a vacuum tube, with
an electric magnet, through which the
cars would travel. According to Pro
fessor Weinberg each passenger would
have his Individual box. in which. In
a reclining position, he would be shot
through the tube, rather. I fancy. In
the manner of a cash box in a depart
ment store. In this way the trip
from Portland to New York, would
take about eight hours, and one eould
go all the way to Petrograd in 14
hours.
The annual meeting of the "National
Civic Federation" will be held on Jan
uary 22 and 23. at the As tor Hotel.
Besides the regulation formal reports,
there will be Important discussions of
many of the big problems, confronting
the Nation. Including those of Immi
gration, economic questions and that
of military preparedness. Reports are
to be made by John Hays Hammond.

merit Is earned by saying it was

who feel the pinch of economic neces

she will not give up, and already she
has been rewarded for her persistency.
She has pleased thousands since she
made her formal musical debut in a
concert at Aeolian Hall, New York. last
October. Previously she had played
with the Philharmonic Orchestra of
New York and this Winter she is with

recluse. "But one cannot accomplish

Judge Benson said in part: You are
under the dame strenuous obligation
to live your life Just as devotedly and
earnestly here in college as in the fu
ture, for If today's life Is not well
