THE BRAVE
Reached the Summit of

ONLY A FEW FAILED
Description of the Latcsd Trip of
the Mazamas--Who Are
Straggling Home.
' None but the brave deserve the fair
and In thla Mime sense none but the brave
deserve the pleasure of reaching the top-
M moat, pinaete of . PU old mountain
paake like ML Adams.
The Maaamas have conquered more
' than one high mountain crest, but In none
ot their outings have their efforts been
' crowned with greater success than In the
recent en to Adams highest peak.
There are many difficulties to meet,
not the least of which Is the question of
"grub," as the soldiers call lt,tand while
1 -all the comforts of home" ore
talnable, yet those who are true sports,
man do not complain, on the contrary,
tak what comes and feel that It is part
c the game. No one was allowed to go
hungry, each had as much of the "cora
' forts" as are usually obtainable under
hs circumstances.

heart, Alpine stock In hand, faces were

the top. . .
- t 1 The day was cold and the wind blow'
ling a gale an expression of. the wrath
of the elements that their private domain
' had been Invaded by man.
' . However, beyond the loss of a jew hats
and some minor trappings, nothing
daunted the hardy mountaineers, and
with the War cry of the Maaamas, on
ward and upward they went.
Occasionally there was a short stop for
breath (easily found) and a bite of re
. freshmen t, and then still upward they
went until 1 o'clock and 15 minutes found
them at the top and "excelsior" was
. the word which found expression with the
' many glad hearts, some of whom for the
first time had attained a mountain sum
mit. But It was cold and no place for a long
top,, and to the grandest sport of all
wan yet ahead that la, the sliding down.
Quickly opening the box' they carried,
' writing their .names on a paper, deposlt
' log them therein, then turning their faces
toward the camp at timber line, they
' yelled, "Slide, Kelly, slide!"
Like the gale of wind which was blow
ing was their downward speed and that
which took them eight and a half hours
to ascend was covered in less than two
ho lira.
Camp reached at 4:30, where hot coffee
was waiting them, and never did it taste
so good to mortal man.
Those who Were to make the ascent
Monday piled the returned party with
questions as to "how and when," and
many were the jokes made of those who
had lost some' parts of their mountain
climbing toga.
But the last and largest portion was
yet to look "upward, and onward." Mon
day morning at 8:30 o'clock these began
' that Journey: Professor W. D. Lyman,
grand marshal; Rodney Gllsan, captain;
.... Bessie Merriam, Brooklyn, N. T. ; Gerald
Bube, Ella McBride, Ashael Curtis, Seat
tle; Prof. Lloyd, Vancouver; J. H. Clos
son, Seattle; Kate E. Young, David Kerr,
C. H. Brundage, New Tork; M. F. Dil
lon, New Tork; J. McGowan, Fred Bout-
lege, R. A. BeruBtein, A. S. Patullo, rear
guard, all of Portland except as desig
nated. They comprised Company A. The
following comprised Company B: Gov
ernor T.T. Geer, Mrs. Geer, G. W. Jones,
Louie M. Church, H. E. Bickers, of
Salem; C. E. Rush, Ooldenale; Margaret
Longacre, Chicago; Delia Howard, Jen-
We Thompson, F. C. Hackpole. Ansill
Clark and some others, all eager for the
conquest .
,..The day was one of the beet, no wind
to mention, and Just cool enough to keep
. .. one going, and that, too, without special
fatigue.
Having an earlier start and the camp
having been removed a little higher than
n the previous day. they were enabled
to reach tlfe summit at 12:80 p. m.
Was ever there such a grand scene?
, There they were, high above the clouds,
- IM70 feet above the sea'lvel?' and as the
eye sjwept the horison It took in such
panorama as only can be found in
place like' this.
Heretofore Judge George held the palm
for attaining the highest altitude, now,
however, it had to be yielded to the tow-
i sring form of Governor Geer, and as he
reached six feet several inches above the
v top of M. Adams It was to sink Into
, Insignificance the distant plain below. It
may be a mistake, but It occurred that

news, etc.. then when time beckoned,
faces),' were, tamed reluctantly toward
timber line camp, which was reached at
4 about o'clock.
Professor Lyman, not deeming it to the
test interest' of all. discouraged the
"Slide, Kelly, slide", order and the camp
was reached In about the same order in
which the ascent was made. Tuesday
iverybody exoept Mark O'Neill and H.
L. PHtock reached Trout Lake, whera
garments were exchanged for those of
more quiet' pursuits, ' faces washed, and
with this' return to civilisation and Its
habiliments man and woman were again
recognisable. Messrs.-Pittock and O'Neill
did not return with the main party, pos
sibly they were lost, maybe they had
business In Glenwood; anyway, this Is
the place where they brought up with
the starting point of White Salmon, SO
miles away.
No untoward accidents or inconven
iences occurred and all in , all this, out
ing of the Masamas for 1902 will long
linger as a pleasant memory in the minds
of those who were fortunate enough to
take part.
These hardy people, sun-burned and
brown, are straggling back to Portland,
the main section arrived yesterday, while
some will linger about Trout Lake, a spot
td.be remembered, for a few days longer.
Governor Geer thinks the top of Mt
Adams would make a good location for a
Statehouse; It would render somewhat
difficult the Invasion of the office-seeker
and afford the Governor more time for
his official duties.
Colonel Spencer remembers Moses as he
"viewed the promised land" and likens
their view from the crest as one well
worth the effort
' Miss Merriam of Brooklyn "who has
"done the Alps," thinks the Western
mountains ot the United States equal all
the grand scenery one could well wish to
see.
Others who have gone far and wide In
their desires for scenic pleasure expressed
themselves as satisfied with that which
Mt. Adams offered. V X.
CAESAR HAS THECOIN
Says He Won It. On the Ball Game
Detests Labor.
Julius Caesar, the colored philosopher
of Portland, holds in haughty disdain all
thoae who are so unfortunate as to be
compelled to toll for a livelihood.
Last night he exhibited a gold coin and
a handfull of stiver to a group of ac
quaintances and delivered the following
speech:
"If I interpret your looks aright you
all wondah how I accumulated these dol
ls hs of our daddies. I will explain for
your edification right now that it was not
by the humble occupation of the common
every -day servant. No, sah; I has and
enjoys a much higher calling. When my
mental faculties am at their best, 1 Is
about the smoothest gambler that evah
carried an ace up his sleeve. I bet on de
wealth, sah, by gamblln'. I bet on de
bail game today, and 1 knowed I was a
sure wlhnah befoh the game was half
ovah. No, sah; a gentleman of my In
tellect nevah has to earn money by the
sweat of his noble brow."
"You say you are a gambler, Julius.
Who is going to win the big prise fight
in San Francisco?"
"I'se glad to heah dat question ex
pounded to me," he replied. "Why, Jef
fries, of course. You see Fits Is an Irish
man and Jeff is a loyal American. Do
you evah think for a moment that an
Irishman can lick any American? No.
sah: I guess hardly. It la always my
practice, sah, to place my jedgment and
coin on my own countryman, from a
prise fight to a poker contest, and as a
rule the gentleman who Is so unfortunate
as to be opposed to me-most generally
has to borrow funds to go home on. In
dat prise fight, you jest keep your weath
er eye on the American. He's a wondah,
sah.
ADDING AIRBRAKE EQUIPMENT
The Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company is equipping Its coaches and
trailers with airbrakes. A small electric
motor beneath the car compresses the air,
which Is kept at 70 pounds to the square
inch. When the guage shows this, an
automatic cut-off intervenes so that the
pressure Is not Increased. When It falls
below TO It begins to work again. When
these improved attachments shal have
been generally applied they greatly con
duce to safety In operation of the cars.
The company is to be commended for its
enterprise.
Marshall and Whitman.
Professor W. I. Marshall, of Chicago.
is in the city for the purpose of gath
ering data for the preparation of an ar
ticle or series or articles to disprove that
Marcus Whitman saved Oregon. Prof.
Marshall has devoted many years study
to the subject of the -discovery and set
tlement of the Northwest country, in
regard to the matter the professor said:
"I have been examining the books if
the Oregon Historical Society, and what
I found there only confirms what I have
always contended, that the idea that Mr.
Whitman saved Oregon is absurd, and
long before he reached the East the
great American statesman had practi
cally decided to hold this territory.
"From here I will go to Puget Sound,
where I sm satisfied I will find informa
tion that will be of great value to my
publication. I am certain that I can find
an abundance of evidence that will prac
tically quiet the controversy."

Crops Are Damaged
and Millions of Fresh
Water Fish Killed.
(Journal Special Service.)
NEW ORLEANS, July M.-'Tha invasion
of extra salt water which has 'come upon
the Gulf Coast of Louisiana in the last
month is a very serious matter. The loss
already Inflicted ' will mount , up well In
the millions. '
The salt water flood Is confined largely
to the streams lying between the mouth
of the Mississippi and the Sabine. All
these are ordinarily fresh water streams.
They and their tributaries have played a
leading part in the development of South
west Louisiana.
The fresh water is pumped into irri
gating canals and used in the cultivation
of rice. More than $12,000,000. mainly New
York capital, has been invested In these
irrigating companies and It has proved a
profitable Investment, both to the com
panies and the country.
The salt water visitation first showed
Itself about a month ago, when the ir
rigation companies were called on for an
extra supply of water. After the water
had been pumped Into some rice fields It
was discovered that it was eajty and
scalded the rice. From the rice being
thus scalded and from lack of fresh
water for Irrigation the rice crop has
been seriously Injured.
It has not been necessary to row or sail
out for redflsh and other salt water varie
ties as is usually the case, but they have
been found Immediately along shore.
Flounders, trout, redflsh, sheeph&id, anl
bass were caught In abundance. The
Fourth of July Ashing was the best ever
known and nearly all the fishermen
caught more than they could bring
home. ' v
Then, too, queer fish from the depths
of the Gulf were found. These Included
devilfish. 30 feet wide from wing to wins.
Then came the plague or fishes, which
has lately caused so much trouble. The
fresh water. fl' - far inland as
they could tp escape , the salt water and
then died. The Streams where this has
happened and the land near' them ars
polluted by the dead fish. It Is feared
that the unsanitary conditions thus
caused may lead to widespread sickness.
In Plaquemines and Jefferson parishes
millions on millions of crabs have died
because the water has been too salty.
Shrimp also have perished In numbers
beyond calculation, and for the first time
in the history of New Orleans, which Is
the headquarters of shrlmpdom, vending
thousands of tons of shrimp, canned,
dried or powdered, to Europe and AsIa,
and supplying a large part of the great
demand In China, It Is almost Impossible
to secure this popular dish.
Popular belief attributes the salt water
visitation to the long drought followed
by southerly winds, although those who
like the marvelous would have the erup
tion of Mont Pelee and the earthquakes
of Mexico and Central America connected
with the disturbance of the sea.
The salt water visitation has accomp
lished at least one good result besides im
proving the fishing. It has killed out the
troublesome water hyacinth.

J. T. Bond of Greenvlfle, Tex., accom

of this city. ,
Until 15 years ago Mr. Bond was one

gas companies of that city had bribed some members of the City Council
to defeat an attempt to pipe natural gas into Cleveland. Mayer Johnson
has announced that he is after the Democratic nomination for president.
Blondln's name was a household word In
the Vnlted Stutes and many of the old
Inhabitants of the Eastern States yet re
call his deeds' of daring over river falls,
with nothing but a slender rope betw.en
him and certain destruction should he
lose his balance.
Mr. Bond learned the business when
ut 12 yearsiof age. This was In 1860, and
it was not long until he gave promise of
even eclipsing his instructor. Nine years
later he was giving an exhibition at Ual-
ton, Ga., which Mr. Beall. of tills uty,
attended. The rope extended across onf
of the muln streets from the tops of the
buildings, and wus 41 feet high. This
came almost proving his last act. Just

DEER STALKING.
(Journal Special Service.)
NEW YORK. July 25. Deer laying baa
already begun in the Adrlondacks, more)
than' six weeks before the sport is legal.
The matter is practically regulated b
certain local customs.
It is well understood throughout the)
Adirpndacks that many deer are shot In
July before the legal season opens, thai
many more are shot after tha season)
closes, and that deer hunting at night
' " "r. wain-s u euui
I "ion If not a general practice. It is)
equally well understood that deer shall
not be killed many days before July 1.
and that does especially shall be spared
at that season.
The sportsman spares the deer so lonaf
as the interests of the young may b
endangered by shooting, and so long as
the meat Is not In first-rate condition foi
eating. As to the law limiting the num.
ber of deer that a hunter may shoot iq
a season, it Is generally disregarded.
It Is well that the code of the hunteg
prohibits Bhooting before July 1, for the
deer are sluggish, almost stupid In thi
spring, and the Adirondack spring is onlfl
well developed in June. After the lon4
winter of Ice, snow and sparse vegeta
tlon, the deer are mad for fresh green
food, and their nrst hunger is still un
appeased when the middle of June ar
rives.
They are then encountered greedily
feeding on the young pads of yellow lilies
which choke many Adirondack streams
This Is especially true of the young deer,
that have not yet learned to recognize)
man as an enemy. '
Some outward prepense is maintained o
observing the law even after July 1 and
a favorite trick of hunters shooting -out
of season is to secure the rifle in the)
bottom of the boat, and have the latter
carried, as usual, keel up. The guide
moves on with the concealed weapon
while the hunter follows, conspicuously
displaying a trout; rod.
Deer hunting with the jack latern at
night is always unlawful, but much prao
ticed. Many tricks are employed to con
ceal the fact that a hunter is armed
with a jacking lantern. Often the iacW
is concealed In the bow of the boat. ' ,
One hunter used to Bally forth in a sills
hat.. In this he carried a little bull's-eya
lantern. By pulling a string he could
remove a portion of thle hat Immediately
In front of the light and' shoot, and aa
quickly conceal it. "
Perhaps the meanest trick . known to
hunters is the artificial salt lick. A quan
tity of rock salt is sprinkled on and about
a high stump, and the deer, learning;
where the delicacy lies, visit it singly;
and in small troops. A salt lick onca
established, the hunter hides In a con
venlent tree and picks off his victim.
The sunset shot Is the favorite with
those who violate the game laws In July.
The deer as yet have not been frightened
by the presence of many hunters, so that
it Is possible to And them feeding in tha,
streams at dusk.
