V Cloud Cap Inn., Mt Hood. Or.. July SI
-yesterday vai a great day for cHmb
ing Mount Hood, both In time and num
ber reaching the aummlt. George Rid
dell of the Masamas left the inn a little
after 4 o'clock yesterday moVnlng and
leached the summit In one hour and 62
I minute. Less than four hours were re
1 (julred for the round trip. He reached
camp nearly exhausted. This Is the
I record time for climbing the mountain.
! I During the day nearly 100 people
1 reach the summit, the number includ-
in IfMaiamasand the party from
f hftnn making -the climb on the north
; eide of the mountain and the Y. M. C. A.
Wker making the ascent from the south
. sldei
; . Ho Clear yrAft for Climbers.
: The day was not extremely favorable
: for the asoent. The earliest risers found
the mountain swathed in mist. About
t I o'clock when the start was made both
from Camp Sheldon and the inn. the
clouds broke away enough to reveal the
tnountaln. At no time during- the morn
ing was the weather clear. One party
that had camped on Cooper's spur Sun
day night in order to have a start In
advance of others in the official Ma
mma Hmb of the mountain was passed
above Ttie-up Rock by the party from
the Inn under the guidance of Oeorge B.
Miller.- The Masamas that left camp
iflok their ttme to the ascent and
reached the summit before noon.
Climb rom Sooth Bade,
i Veteran mountain cllrabena who have
made ,the ascent of Hood from both
; north and south slopes, say the climb
! from the north Is cfully KO per cent more
j difficult than from the south on account
of the sharp elevation, which, during
the last stages ranges from 60 to 65
degress.
; A new Maxama book was taken to the
- summit yesterday and chained lo a rock.
where It will be used as a register for
: subsequent climbs.
5 Ths first moving pictures ever taken
on" the summit of Hood wer made yes
f terdajr by George M. Welster and George
1 Stark,- assisted by guides. Pictures of
I the parties reaching the summit were
1 tnada In spite of the mist that now and
f again ; swept over the mountain. To
i make the picture it was necessary for
t two men to pack between them 90
pounds of equipment up the side of the
mountain.
Many of the mountain climbers yes
terday found the descent fully as diffi
cult as the ascent, due to. the hardness
of the crust and the snow and the con
sequent frequent slips.
The men and women attaining the
Summit yesterday were:
John A, Lee, Edith Ellis, Edward C
Sanmons, Frank Branch Riley. F. P.

Hood River Boys in Peril.
Wnftwt Tm t!iifi wtwr.T
Hood River, Or., July 2S. William
Hugglns, Fred Coshow and Ed Franz,
three Hood River boys, had a narrow
escape on Mt. Hood Sunday. The trio
msderthe-ascent, leaving camp at 6
O'clock tn the morning, without a guide,
"attff Tmrteachlng' s. point near "the 11 fe
'line that-coroea down from the summit
a sudden eorm arose thst almost swept
them from their feet. It was with great
difficulty that they were able to secure
their footing In the icy sides of the
iclaciers. A fierce hall storm added to
their- misery and after lingering for a
time In hopes that the storm would sub
aide, they slowly felt their way to camp.
It is considered a moit dangerous un--wta-ktng
te attempt to -make thw-w
cent of the mountain without a guide.
Children's playgrounds were declared
a necessity, both from the standpoint of
welfare of the child and race, by Alice
M. Ryan, formerly supen'isor of the
children's playground at Denver. In an
address on "Playground Work" dellv
ered before the Cathollo Teachers instl
tute at St. Mary's academy today.
In her talk, Miss Ryan said that the
American people, as a nation, are, too
hard after commercial sucdess to Pend
time in recreation, and ssHertea ; that
unless more physical action Is allowed
to creep Into their lives, the race will
deteriorate.
"Playgrounds for children are neces
sary," she said, "because commercial
ism lias caused crowded cities to be
built, and apartments, flats and dwell
lngs have been crammed together with
absolute disregard for the child.
"Little provision has been made for
healthful, strength developing play.'
Speaking in regard to the value of
play, she divided the play life of chll
dren Into three periods. From 1 to 6
years of age, she said, the motive for
play Is the dramatic; from 6 to 14 It is
the "Big Injun" period, the daring age;
from 14 to manhood, the age of loyalty
when a youth casts aside his Individu
ality to work for the good of his team.
Develop Standards.
"Playgrounds develop standards that
guide a man through life," Miss Ryan
declared In conclusion, "On the play
ground a boy must make good with his
team. In school he is given another
chance If he falls; at home he is for'
given If bad, but on the playground, he
must make good or he is not allowed to
play on the team.
"Play might be defined as an aetlv
Ity that has Its end in the training of
children for future usefulness. It t&s
a definite educational value."
The hovel of the present day came In
foe a good toasting at he hands of Sister
Loyola of Chicago, who has charge of
the high school department of the lnetl
tute. In her address on the "Short
Story" thin forenoon, she declared the
majority of present days novels are un
ending pages of slipshod English, filled
with shallow wisdom and unrealltlus.
She characterised the short story as the
"youngest daughter of lltersture," and
praised It highly. The short Btory, un
like the novel, she said, concentrates the
mind and pictures the real things of
life. In an interesting and forceful man
ner. Its subjects are more diversified
than those treated by the novel, and cre
ates In the mind of a reader a greater
sympathy for everyday surroundings.
Should Employ Tact.
Dr. Anna M. Nicholson, supervisor of
the San Jose State Normal school, chose
for her subject today, "Composition tn
the grades." In her address she 8aid
that teachers of composition should take
care to praise (he good points of a
chjld's composition, Instead of holding
up Its .defects, because "consciftnsness
of Bucess makes for powef." She told
thd teachers that their own. resourceful
ness In making composition a pleasure
Instead of drudgery, and their tact at
criticising played an att- important part
In the work. "The Primary Department"
was the subject of the forenoon address
given by Miss Bessie McCabe. She -told
of the new methods of teaching chil
dren in the primary grades laying stress
on reading as the moBt Important mat
ter to he considered In the early educa
tion of children."
Shortly before noon adjournment, the
S00 "teachers attending ' th institute
gathered at the college assembly hall
and listened to a splendid speech on
"Conscience, Interpreter of the Likeness
of God," delivered by Father Conlan,
formerly professor of philosophy at St.
Vincents c9.1)MeuJU. Anffelet.. . .
Yesterday afternoon Sister Loyola
spoke on the "Teacher," and Miss Nich
olson on "Tendencies of Modern Education."

Mount Scott Audience Favor:
ably Impressed; How City
Could Gain by Ownership Is
Shown; Panacea for Graft.
Presenting the ease for the purchase
of Ross Island by the city, Mayor Rush
light last night addressed a good sited
audience at Cunningham hall Myrtle
park, under the auspices of the Mt
Scott Improvement club.
No action was taken by the meeting,
but the effect of the mayor's talk was
distinctly favorable. At a previous meet
ing much hostile sentiment was In
evidence, but the club reserved Its Judg
ment until all sides of the proposal
have boen threshed out, and the scope
of the plan proposed by the mayor
was not then fully understood.
President J. Allen Harrison presided
at the meeting, A short talk was made,
following the mayor's address, by Park
Superintendent Mische, who gave In
dorsement to the view that the city will
make a good Investment by purchasing
the Island.
Panacea for Graft.
He emphasized the Idea that purchase
by condemnation will leave no room ror
graft, and said that no city has ever
regretted the purchase of property that
could later be- used for docks.
Mayor Rushlight, prefacing his re
marks, told of the waste In city ma
terials from the present lack of storage
room. He touched On the lack of system
In the water department, and said that
In his belief hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been lost to the city there
by theft and waste.
With the 407 acres Included in the
outer limits of Ross island, the two
smaller Islands close by and the low
land between and around: them which
may be filled in," said he, "there will be
ample room for storing the apparatus
and supplies of the different parts of
the city. It will be easy to put in a
dock and save moftey by shipping to
the Island bv boat. Pasture room can be
provided for horses of the fire depart
ment that are injured or footsore."
Site for Another Incinerator.
"With a downhill haul and lowland to
be filled, this Is an Ideal place for the
location of another Incinerator. The
city voted $75,000 for a municipal gar
bage collection system, but with no
place to take care of the garbage, there
Is no use to buy the equipment.
Again, this would provide a place for
dumping the street sweepings. Once
there was no difficulty In that line, but
now It is a difficult problem."
The mayor then told of the plan to lo
cate a municipal Jail and Isolation hos
pital on the island. He said the prison
ers could be used to assist tn burning
the garbage and In making Improve
ments on the land set aside for a park.
He- said some of the finest gravel In
he country is found at the Island, and
this can be utilized in the work of a
municipal repair plant for the city
streets.
Congestion in the south side district
west of the river was advanced as a
reason for providing park and play
grounds at that point, and the plan for
a bridge at the south end of the Island
was discussed. He said there Is In
creasing need for this bridge because
of the coming development of swltch-
ng lines at the east end of the Haw
thorne bridge.
Estimated Cost $900,000.
Mayor Rushlight said the tentative
plans for the bridge call for $900,000,
nd he holds an option on the Island
property for $300,000. He promised that
the projpft Is taken up while he is
n office the property will be taken by
condemnation and only the-actual, mar
ket value paid, as shown by testimony
court.
I could sit down and watch condi
tions grow worse and worse, without
making provision for the city's future
troubles," said the mayor. But I have
fhought that' 'ft was 'proper for" me to
make preparations or these conditions,
nd I am urging this proposition now
ecause it will meet the situation that
s coming In a few years."
Before adjournment the club appoint-
Chinese Statesman Holds That
Revolution Removes Men
' acing Conditions; China to
Be of World Value.
' " "' "TV
(United Prats Least Wirt.)
Hongkong, July 23. The "yellow per.
11" Is a thing of the past, according to
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, in an Interview given
out here in response to numerous ques
tions , asked him In the course of the
tour he has been making of the new
Chinese republic since his retirement
from the provisional presidency.
L'nder the old regime the doctor id
mlts that he thinks Chihia was a peril
to the world. Manchu methods were
such as continually to threaten the ne
cessity for intervention by the foreign
powers In-Chinese affairs, with the. in-.
cidental danger of clashes among the
Intervening, interests. More than this,
Dr. Sun adds, Manchu backwardness and
mlsgovernment rendered It barely possi
ble for the Chinese to wring a living
from their country's soil, ultimately It
must have fallen snort of supporting all
of them and then there must have fol
lowed an overflow which the Occident
would have found it hard to check
the "yellow peril" concerning which
western statesmen have worried so much
in recent years.
"But with the development which has
begun since the revolution has become
an accomplished fact," Dr. Sun said,
"another ten years will see China am
ply able to support not only Its popu
lation of ten years hence, but for many
generations to com. - There will be no
need for emigration, for the Chinese pre
fer their own country to any other In
the world' and have never left It except
under the spur of dire necessity and
even then with the determination to
return at the earliest opportunity, -
'With the revolution the 'yellow peril'
passed. The world may even speak of
China today as the 'yellow hope,' for
the development of so great a nation
along modern lines cannot but be of
Immense advantage to every other na
tion on earth." -

Interesting testimony concerning the
prices of foodstuffs In Portland In com
parison with other coast ports and as
to the quality of Oregon grown oats
was brought out in a deposition taken
this morning of the testimony of Major
Jesse Si. Baker, former quartermaster of
the Department of the Columbia, In the
case of the government against Kerr,
Oifford & company for the refund At
1595 which the government claims is
due on a uhlpment of oats bought here
between Noverr&er, 1903. and January
81, 19u4. The claim Is." made because
the company failed to deduct the weight
of the sucks from the gross weight of
the shipment, 4.nno,000 pounds, whtch
was sent to the Phil!ppins.
Major Raker declared that in the
tliree years from 1903 to 1008 in which
he was quartermaster here he found
that the prices of hay and oats In this
rort were more reasonable than on Pu
get sound or in California. He also
declared that oats grown In Eastern
Oregon and in the Wlllamete valley ex
celled all others for shipping as they
matured .earlier and would not heat In
the, trip across the ocean, arriving In
far better condition. Puget sound oats
he declared would always heat and spoil
to a great extent.
The case In which the testimony was
taken has been hanging' fire for over a
year and no signs of a settlement are
evident. The company bases Its defense
on the grounds that the custom of the
port is not to deduct the weight of the
sacks from the gross weight The oats
In the shipment were double-sacked ac
cording to specifications of the government.
