.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

iuilding. Everywhere wonderful bed-

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. .

""Never Inn," "Ohavalook." "Cuma

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.

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

States during the late world war. If
there Is a task to do, a tent to erect
Jwood to be gathered for, the camp

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...

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.

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

typical of Uncle 6am's forestry serv

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.

E E. Howard, of Kansas City, is

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

a climb to the summit of Slate moun

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.
