THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. AUGUST 15, 1920 OF MAMS PARADISE OF OUTING Official Climb of Shuksan toi Be Made Wednesday. MOUNTAIN ROOMS NAMED J- J (i ' Titles and Formality Are Forgotten and Business Barons and Men of Xetters Respond to Xictnames. , BY E. C. SAMMONS. i President of The Mazamas. .MAZAMA CAMP. ' Mount Baker, "Wash., Aug. 10. Amid mossy dells, enchanting forest glades, limpid mountain lakes, water falls filling the air with spray and rainbows as they tumble over the frowning? precl pjoe. glaciers "broken Into cascades of lee, fantastic in shape and dangerous ly beckoning one to come and play; aeracs and crevasses and adjoining tlfese blossoming meadows carpeted with mountain flora of the rarest colors, this wild grandeur in our hanging valley of 4400 feet altitude.; cot off from the rest of the world by ' 14 miles of precipitous, trail. Is a ! vfcritable paradise of outing delight, i -J.O tne north of us are mountain citadels that would put to test even the Alpinists of the Italian army should they storm them; to the east of us lies Mount Shuksan more than 9000 feet high, frowning and forbid ding, glacier-hung and awe inspiring, while south of us lies Mount Baker with its broad expanse of cascading ice known, as Sholes and Mazamas glaciers. Another Climb Wednesday. 'It is a mountaineer's naradisa. T don't wonder that the member of the Mount Baker club of Bellingham call it America's most perfect moun tain The icy pinnacle on the north stde of Baker which in 1906 defied all but eight of the Mazamas to climb, but which was climbed by many ir 1809 from the south side, it is hoped will be scaled under favorable weather and climbing conditions. The official climb will be attempted either Tuesaay or Wednesday, depending upon weather conditions. in But come what may, failure or uccess in mountain achievement, the .Mazamas are having a glorious time in this mountain paradise. The first tlay wafs devoted to animated oamn iuilding. Everywhere wonderful bed- " " ' "wicu us ana springy mat tresses .of moss were laid under giant ;rees on the hillside or beside the jH-iadly rushing, brawling brook. Fol lowing the style set at Mount Rainier n 1914 by our illustrious and sadly -missed but none-the-less loved ex .Tresident Frank Branch Riley, the individual bedrooms have taken on fantastic namaa. . ,: There are- such as "Parlor A " ""Never Inn," "Ohavalook." "Cuma :ain" and many others too numerous o mention. Mr. and Mrs. Kurt JKoehK-r named their sightly retreat (Overlook," by reason of the fact that jit overlooked that all-important spot, .the cook tent. K Camp Life Democracy. t As a leveller of life what can beat ra. Mazama outing? Life in camp Is huge democracy. Titles and formal Salutations were promptly forgotten. ireat musicians, cultured society folk ?minent lawyers, learned professors', signified school teachers, men of l;t--ters. prominent engineers and even .our old banters and business folk are for the time be'ng classed the ame; they answer promptly to their -nicknames, cavort about at the camp Jfires with the abandon of children. And the glorious co-operation! The only thirtg comparable to it 4hat I know of is that glorious Amer ican is n that reunited the United States during the late world war. If there Is a task to do, a tent to erect Jwood to be gathered for, the camp jlres, a fellow hiker distressed under n enormou- pack. Instantly there are dozen hands to do the trick. Self-sac-yifice service for others seems to be the keynote of the mountaineer's make up in this high vitalizing air. We -have a saying, "There can be no self 'lshness above 5000 feet," and the 3riore often I come on thes uin... ul outings the more I believe in that 5 Many Instructive Talks Heard. At night, about a huge pile of bla Jng loss, the hikers are ranged ii reat cir-les In our natural amphi theater and the fun begins. There Is sprightly wit. community ir,o-i Instrumental solos, recitations, fool Jshly delightful playlets and all man aier of delightful tomfoole.-v Rut r ywoulda't have you believe that it is 511 fun. Nothing could ho frth.. Jrom the truth. Many are the in structive talks given and received in ,11 seriousness, talks on current top tics, on psychology, botany, biology Jind. of course, on mountaineering, for .mountaineering is a serious business. f'how me him who "poo-poos" the dea and let me show him the seracs and crevasses on this north side of JBaker; one look will convince. I'm ure. And as I peck away on this type writer which I carried long, weary Spiles under a blistering sun, up dizzying heights along a newly con structed trail, I contemplate with .treat satisfaction and pride the achievements of those of the earlier Jlazamas, such as Rodney Glisan C ,21.

This is the .jargest numoer wno have ever at Kended an outing together. Mr Lee Js a veteran of the Mount Baker uregiom Though now a Portland at rtorney. he formerly was a school principal in Bellingham and holds toine unique records for climbing on Baker. His first ascent was made in 1 1900 and in 1906 he and Rodney L. Glisan. also of Portland, were caught in a storm on the summit of Baker and forced to spend the night there. They anchored themselves by means of their ice axes and rope and walked tread-mill fashion all night long to keeD from freezing to death. He and Glisan were out for 36 hours without fnod and suffered great hararjiips. Today John Lee is known among the Mazamas as "Old Reliable" ana n fully merits the name. Whoever Invented mosquitoes sure ly-had a grouch against the world yes, mosquitoes ana cooties: write feelingly, knowing both. Forest Ranger Burch and his men are rendering great service to the club. Rangers have been etailed to visit the camp every other day. bring ing mail from Glacier and taking out going mail. Such co-operation is typical of Uncle 6am's forestry serv ice in every, department, iiats on to them! LeRov Ayer. Jr., son of the chair man of the 1920 outing committee, claims the distinction of being the youngest Mazama. He is 12 years of age and Won his membership by climbing Eagle Cap. in the Wallowa range, in 1918 when but 10 years of age. He accompanied his father on this trip and proDaoiy is as Keen to try the ascent of Baker as the oldest Mazama in camp. . Some thoughtful individual brought In a playground baseball and bat and it is of great use to the stay- at-homes. Walter McCredle can strengthen his team. I daresay, with some of the players in tne Austin Pass league. The first break'fast in camp con sisted of stewed prunes, rolled oats. bacon and eggs, hot cakes ana syrup, bread, butter and preserves, coffee, tea or chocolate. A pack train brings food in every other day from Glacier, Wash., 21 miles distant. E E. Howard, of Kansas City, is well known to many Portlanders. He is of the firm of consulting engi neers. Harrington. Howard & Ash. who designed and built the Hawthorne and Harriman bridges in Portland and the Interstate bridge between Portland and Vancouver. He and Richard W. Montague, 'well known Portland lawyer, are "bunkies. Greetings . were delivered to the Mazamas from the Mountaineers of Seattle by way of a message from President Edmund S. Meany delivered by Miss Mary Gene Smith, a Portland Mazama, who, with Miss Ethel M. Loucks, accompanied the Moun taineers on the first day of their an nual outing to the Olympic mountains. Boy W. Ayer, chairman of the out lng committee, led the members on a climb to the summit of Slate moun tain, northwest of camp, last Wednes day. From its summit many pretty lakes are visible. CHINESE LEPER AT LARGE Afflicted Oriental Enjoys Several Hours of Freedom. For several hours Friday, Louis Poy, leper, enjoyed freedom as he wandered where fancy took him about the highways of the county and streets of Portland. He had escaped from quarantine at the county hospi tal. Seen In Chinatown in the after noon. Poy again disappeared. Hunger proved more effective than the county agents In the search for the missing Chinese, for at mealtime he showed up again with considerable appetite. Fear that the disease may have been communicated was dispelled by Dr. H. .R. Cliff, county physician, who asserted that It was not readily com municable and that it would have been very difficult for anyone to have contracted It in brief contact with Poy. The Chinese should not be a county charge, but he cannot be deported as he is a naturalized citizen, according to the physician. He has been at the county hospital for two years. CARDS OF THANKS.
