TOWN TOPICS
Would Annul votes. Alleging that
M. G. Thorsen, vicepresident of the
Multnomah State bank, of Lents, se
cured two notes and mortgages for a
total of $45,000 without consideration.
Hacon Rostad and wife, who signed the
notes and mortgages, yesterday
brought suit to have them annulled.
They allege that Thorsen requested
Rostad, then cashier of the bank, to
take title to five acre of land in the
eastern part of the city and give the
mortgages back, that Thorsen might be
able to handle the property better when
he sold it, and that the entire transac
tion was made for the' convenience of
Tnors-iri. It is alleged that the Scandinavian-American
bank now holds the
mortgages. Attorney A. E. Clark said
that the Itostads gave a deed to the
property back to Thorsen immediately
after he had received the original deed,
but that the latter deed had never been
recorded. Rostad is under indictment,
awaiting trial on a charge' of forging
notes and securing funds of the bank
on the notes. P. W. Thorsen and the
Scandinavian-American bank are
named in the complaint as having an
interest in the notes and mortgages.

: ence of committees from college organ
' Izations, held at the Central Library
last Wednesday, resulted in a unani
1 mous vote for the formation of a col
lege club. Mrs. Harry Beals Torrey

King, Miss Eleanor Rowland, Miss
' Emma Wold, Mrs. Vincent Cook and"
Miss Gertrude Blackmar. It will be
I the work of this committee to draw up

about three weeks from the date of the'
meeting just held, will be given

ens from L. M. Alston, residing about

Jury Recommends Leniency. Fail
ure of Joe Simon to properly label sal
vaged cans of pork and beans led to
his conviction on a charge of selling
misbranded food yesterday in District
Judge Jones' court. The jury rec
ommended leniency, saying no fraud
appeared to be intended, and Simon
was fined $25. the fine being remit
ted. The goods, it is said, were sal
vaged from a boat after they had be
come damaged by water and the la

DAWN ON LARCH MOUNTAIN
Mazamas and Friends, After
Night Ascent, Greet Day. on
Summit of Wooded Slope,
By Fred H. McNeil.
With the development of the plan
to construct a trail from Multnomah
Falls to the top of Larch mountain, as
one of the sidetrlps from the Colum
bia highway, Portland people have
begun to take an active interest in
this beautiful wooded peak, and last
Sunday the broadcast call of the Ma
zamas for a 'junket to its summit was
largely answered.
Traveling conditions were hard. The
trip was made under the greatest dis
advantage, the fatigue that one suf
fers through lack of sleep. Member
of the party had to stay up all night
and all the next day. However. 110
started out, and of this number, 101
reached the lofty lookout pinnacle of
rock- that stands at an altitude of
4045 feet.
To give it a more intimate aspect
to Portlanders, Larch mountain . is
plainly visible from most parts of the
city. It is almost as prominent an
object from Portland "view property"
as Mount Hood.
Some of the 110 starting from Port
land were dyed-in-the-wool Mazama?
those who ran walk all day and all
night without tiring. Then there was
a rattier larger portion of near-Ma-zanias,
but the big majority of the
jtinketeers consisted of persons who
were climbing for the first time, and
had no Idea of the trip ahead of them.
At present only one trail exists up
Larfch mountain which a large party
tan follow. That is the 9-mile route
by Bridal Veil. From the time you
leave Bridal Veil, at an altitude of
less than 75 feet above sea level, you
climb practically all the way. Last
Sunday's crowd, after leaving Bridal
Veil about 1 o'clock a. m.. reached
Palmer anywhere from 2:45 to 4:30
a. in. The Bridal Veil Lumber com
pany's sawmill is located at Palmer,
and the big sheds afforded the hikers
n good resting-place, despite the chill
of the early -morning air.
The first snow was struck at Pal
mer, little flaky spots, the size of a
man's hands, scattered here and there
in the places shaded from the sun.
While the main body rested a short
while at Palmer, an advance party of
11 struck up the trail, and at the upper
logging camp, built fires in the big
heating stoves of two or three of the
small colony of bunk houses.
When, the might climbers paused for
breathing spplls above Palmer, they
turned their faces westward to Port
land, whose every light was distinctly
outlined. In the brilliantly clear night,
the scene was beautiful. Once the
flare from the stacks of the gas works
on the Linnton road brought exclama
tions, and there were many expres
sions of delight over the discovery of
the symmetrical line of Illuminated
Third street arches. Further north
the lights of Vancouver were discern
able, and the lights of other Columbia
river towns, both east and west of
Portland, were to be seen.
From Palmer a trail leading east
ward is followed as it makes a short
cut on the path of the logging rail
road as it takes the easy grade
around the mountain side. This trail
is about two miles long. The snow
steadily grew deeper, but it did not
present any difficulties until tho trail
came out on the railroad again.
Then a slower pace was followed.
With the increasing altitude, the snow
was first three inches, then six inches
and before tho upper camp was
reached, eight to 10 inches. It was
powdery and light, and the climbers
sank in. The worst walking of the
entire climb was encountered here, and
those who could not go to the top,
were laid out In the strain of this leg
of the journey.
When the cabins were reached there
were many who thought they could
go no further, but hot fires and dry
places to rest in, with hot drinks, ac
complished wonders in restoring en
ergy, and in a short time nearly every
one was able to resume the march to
the summit.
Sam on the Summit.
Leaving the upper logging camp on
the last lap, the climbers were pleas
antly surprised to find the snow hard,
and the walking, in comparison to that
along the railroad, was much easier.
The distance from the camp to the
rocky pinnacle of the summit, is, ac
cording to exact direct line measure
ment, one mile and 100 yardA Zigzag
ging back and forth, the distance for
the climbers is greater, but In no case
did it take more 'than an hour to reach
the top from the last resting place.
This last climb seemed like a javnt
through fairyland, and the hikers al
most forgot their fatigue In the ad
miration of the lovely views at every
hand. The climb was made in the
early light of the dawn. Far up on
the mountain top, ahead of the climb
ers, the rosy rays of sunlight hit the
silver frost that covered the trees.
The sudden change from the woods
to the rocky summit is quite startling.
One tops the ridge for probably a
quarter of a mile. Then the trails
drops down into a saddle. On either
side of this long steep smooth snow
fields lead to the forests on the moun
tain flanks. A slide down these snow
fields would end very disastrously.
At the further end of this saddle the
trail goes up very sharply, climbing
the shaly rock to the two pinnacles
that loom up 100 feet above the trees
you have just left behind, r-
As you walk along this saddle, the
wonderful view slowly unfolds. First
you see through the thinning trees,
the Bull Ron forest below and the
mountains beyond. Then the trees end.
,ff mmm
Willi the Mazamas and their friends on the Larch Mountain climb last
the snow clad forest on the mountain side; on the summit.
Bottom The party i-t Bridal Veil, before starting the climb.
you are on top of the rocky points,
and the whole world seems to be en
tirely underneath your feet.
The tops of these rocky pinnacles
are not more than 10 feet wide.- You
have come up one side. The chasm of
the other side begins at your very
feet. One could take a "single step from
the northeast side of those rocks, and
never touch a thing for 100 feet. The
view is so enc-lianting that most climb
ers do not at first see this cliff, but
they catch their breath as they peer
over the perpendicular walls, hun
dreds of feet down.
Of the two pinnacles, the one furth
est west is the highest and only from
it can Portland be seen over the tree
tops. This point is less than 10 feet
square. When the United States for
est service had a-fire lookout station
on this point several years ago, a sub
stantial wooden ladder was placed up
this pinnacle, and it Is still there, of
fering easy access for every climber.
From the top of Larch mountain,
one has practically unobstructed a'lew
in all directions.
LaSt Sunday morning there was not
the slightest trace of mist or smoke to
mar the crystal clearness. Looking
westward the 'climbers could see
where portland lies, completely ob
scured in fog, which billowed and
rolled like 'an arx;ry sea.
All the high mountains within 200
miles were in view. Mount Hood, of
course, came first of all In this mag
nificent landscape. Although 30 miles
away, it was visible from the very
base. Every knob and scar of Hood's
surface. Observation, Crater, Mazama
and Tie Up rocks and most of the
other places dear to Portland climbers
were easily seen. One could easily
imagine with that view that he could
see the crevasses of . Hood's glaciers.
Most Columbia river spots of beauty
are visible from Iarch, especially to
the west. The high bluffs of the Ore
gon side to the east, obscure In a
measure some of the things towards
Bonneville.
The plainly visible, but little known
Silver Star range of mountains, lying
northeast of Vancouver, and almost
north of Larch mountain in Washing
ton, came in for much attention.
St. Helens and Adams were visible
from their foothills and far away to
the northeast, 170 miles away, but
sharply distinct, was Mount Rainier,
beautiful also with a rose tinted snow
glow.
Nowhere in the Willamette valley
does one have such a view of Mount
Jefferson as from Larch nfountaln.
Prominently on Its top looms up that
narrow rock shaft; which makes Jef
ferson one of the hardest mountains in
the United States to climb.
To Its right, the Three Sisters and
Diamond Peak were distinct features
of the southern landscape.

made the discovery that Mary's Peak,
back of Corvallis, the highest moun
tain in the coast range, is to be seen.
This peak is comparatively low, com
pared tj! the volcano mountains, being
but a mile in altitude, and it is much
further away than Jefferson. Never
theless, there was no mistaking that
peculiarly shaped snow dome far to
the southwest.
For u long time the fog blanket ob
scured Portland and the river. The
c-loud bank ended abruptly around
Mount Tabor and Rocky Butte. After'
the sun had been up awhile, however,
the fog lifted and sailed westward,
stopping and wrapping its ghostly
form about the coast range peaks,
which stood out like islands ,of the
sea. With the shifting, Portland and
Vancouver became visible.
About an hour on top of the moun
tain was all that anyone cared to
spend there, for it was very cold, and
the rising sun brought a raw east
wind. Ulad enough most of us were
to traverse .the crisp snow again to
the eablne where there was plenty of
warmth and food and drink, and if
the demands of nature were too over
powering, bunks to sleep for an hour
or more.
Most of the crowd started on the re
turn trip as early as possible for Pal
mer in order to avoid the wet melting
snow of mid-morning. The return trip
to Portland was made late the same
afternoon.
Inquiring Into the possibilities of
Larch mountain as a park, leaders of
the Mazamas have been assured by
representatives of the lumbering com
pany now cutting f timber from the
upper slopes of the mountain that the
natural timbered beauty of the top
will never be disturbed.
