Think of Mount Hood In tha movies!

fan that ever waddled Into nearby pic

Think of Mount Hood In color photo
graphs and In utereoptlcon projections
that capture the myAtpry of the morn
inn upon the mountain, the dazxling
surfaces and the tlntings of snow and
Ice about the hot fissures of a once
violent crater!
Charles A. Benz says that on the
night of October 20, Jesse Sill of the
Northwest Weekly began to think out
loud at the Mszania club concerning
the poHRlble triumph that might at
tend such tremendous picture taking.
Result were prompt. By 8 o'clock
of the following Hunday morning the
party was on Its way lugging moving
.picture cameras, color photograph
cameras and camera for black and
white. There were Jesse Sill, Frank
'Ives Jones, Ii. Wernstedt, M. II. Barnes
and Mr. Bena aboard J. I-. Snead's
automobile, bound for Government
Camp. At Bandy they added Llje Coal
man, famous mountain guide whose
summer residence Is 12,225 feet above
th sea in the staunch little house on
th very peak of Mount Hood.
The story of the trip Is told by Mr.
Benz who also mnde the pictures which
accompany the article. It was the last
ascent of the mountain for this year,
he says.
The atmosphere was so clear and
frosty, views of mountains and can
yons, autumn colorings were so start
llngly revealed that the Itch to be tak
ing pictures began long before the
mountain was reached.
From Government Camp the party
, pressed on and up to the place where
the timber line ends and the snow line
begins.
XHCht on the Mooatala..
"We reached a point near tlraberllne
shortly before sunset and pitched our
camp beside a huge boulder and shel
tered by several large trees on the east
side. After building a large fire against
the boulder and preparing our sleeping
quarters with a generous supply of
fir and cedar boughs, we sat around
the fire and ate our dinner, consisting
of soup, sandwiches, bread, butter and
coffee. With only four canteens in
the party we found our water supply
would be Insufficient for breakfast so
. several of us started in search of a
snow bank,, and soon located one, but
it waa .frozen so hard it required an Ice
rax to-remove some of It.
1 ' "fcach -man picked out his sleeping
: Quarters. Some got well to the edge
Of camp, while others chose a place
near the fire, but soon found it too
h.tt,!. remain long. Bill, who had been
appointed fire chief for the first half
of the night, was a zealous fireman.
"As he had brought no bedding, hav
ing all he wanted to carry in the form
of a niovlnc picture camera I agreed to
take the second watch and allow him

ready I awoke the crowd at 4:30 o'clock

through the short stretch of timber
that separated us from the barren
slope of the mountain.

looked back. Just as the first rays of
the sun touched the distant peaks,
Mount Jefferson, Blount Washington
and the Three Sisters. The atmos
phere was clear and there was hardly
a breeze. We could not have wished
for more ideal weather.
" 'Better spend the night on top with
me,' said Coalman, 'for we are going
to have one of the best sunsets you
ever saw.' I agreed providing the
party would stay another day. 'Have

body agreed to climb that evening.
At Seld Qlaolex by Hoon.
"Shortly before noon we reached the
edge of Keld glacier at a point imme
diately above Illumination Rock. But
alas! There seemed no way of descend
ing upon It. Taking several photo
graphs of the cliffs, we sought a pro
tected spot among the rocks and ate
our lunch, after which Coalman looked
about for a place to descend on the
glacier.
"This would have been possible by
cutting steps In the Ice, yet after ar
riving on It we could not have secured
the photos wanted on account of Im
passable ice walls and crevasses.
"Coalman advised going around Il
lumination Rock so that we tpy to
reach the glkcler from below. All
agreed to make the detour except
Jones, Barnes and Wernstedt, who de
cided to start at once for Crater Rock.
"At the bse of Illumination Rock
we still found it impossible to reach
Retd glacier but the view of the cliffs
and crevasses was much better and we

mad. a number of exposures, then re
turned to Zigzag glacier where the ice
walls and crevasses were really bet
ter than we had expected. Sill, Coal
man and I started Into their ver?
midst cutting steps along the narrow
ridges of some precipitous ice walls. At
last surrounded by ice pillars, walls
and crevasses we felt that it was the
best part of our trip and photographed
the scenes to our hearts' content.
"At-S o'clock we started for Crater
Rock and on arriving there shortly
before 5 found everyone present except
Snead, who had returned to Govern
ment Camp. Beans, which Jones had
brought with him and heated in the
steam fissures, were dished out to us.
"The sun in a beautiful flow of gold
and red was approaching the horizon
and everybody was trying for a pic
ture. Jones and Barnes decided to re
turn to Government Camp as they
thought the ascent would be made
under rreat difficulties but the rest of
us who had exerted ourselves so muoh i
and returned after that long trip i
around Illumination Rock decided on
nothing less than night on the sum
mit. "Sill and I, who were the last to
reach Crater Rock, were still eating
beans and Inhaling sulphur fumes when
the other four were half way up the
hogback.
"We soon followed and Just as we
reached that point the sun began to
roll over the crest of the Coaat range.
Wonderful Sunset.
"A most beautiful red glow Illum
inated the entire crater and surround
ing cliffs so I began to open my cam
era for a color photograph. Just then
Coalman called to us, saying that the
steps he was cutting were filling with
water and beginning to freeze.
"I hesitated, then tried to adjust my
color screen but found my fingers so
numb from cold that I decided to close
my camera and follow the party.
Reaching the crevasse, we gasped for
breath, and as It began to get dark
we were wondering If we could find the
course taken by those ahead. We found
the water filled steps almost frozen
and we could .hardly tell that we were
crossing a steep lee slope where a mis
step meant a sure descent Into the Jag
ged crevasse several hundred feet
below. Finally w. overtook the rest
and found It unnecessary to cut steps
as the surface- of the snow was hard
and rough, making It easy to get a
footing.
"At 6 .o'clock we reached the summit
where" the wind was blowing a gale
and after entering the cabin Coalman
gave Pridmore a lighted lantern to sig
nal Government Cynp that we were
on the summit, as the telephone was
out of order.
Might on the Summit.
"At 7 o'clock we enjoyed an excel
lent dinner of cream of tomato soup,
bacon, cold meat, bread, butter, coffee
and sliced pineapple.
"At 9 with a clear sky overhead and
a zero wind sweeping the summit, we
began to arrange the bedding. Hud
dling cfoae we were just about asleep,
when a crashing noise roused us. Prid
more jumped and it was fortunate he'
did for the ponderous panel window on
the east side, which had been left
slightly open, and fastendQ with a
light string was whipped from its po
sition by a heavy gust of wind and
sent spinning toward his head. The
window was soon adjusted end then we
fey asleep. About 2 a. m. the chill be
ban to make us shiver so Coalman sot
up and lighted th oil stoves, which
were left burning till dawn, when we
got up to view the sunrise and the val
leys with their scattered lights and
fires far below.
"Breakfast, consisting of cream of
wheat, bacon, hot cakes, syrup, coffee
and canned peaches, was ready at 7:30
o'clock and after th. dishes had been
washed. Coalman took his range finder
out on th post beside the cabin add
located th. half dozen forest fires we
could see f rem the summit. At 10
o'clock with th. weather considerably
milder we nailed up th. door and win
dows and then began th. descent."

Mother-love Is all powerful. It will
dare the wrath of stern parents. It
will defy the scoffings and averted
glances of a neighborhood. It will melt
the hearts of hard-headed grand Jurors
nd win the willing assistance of dis
trict attorneys Inured to crime.
All this was proven In the caae of a
pretty laundry worker, 20 years old,
whoso love for her little daughter,
born without a name, could not be
suppressed. Her story was told to
the Multnomah county grand Jury.
For the sake of appearances In a
gossiping neighborhood and to appease
angry parents, the irl mother relin
quished, her baby lyitll one day she
encountered the child In the custody
of another woman she happened to
meet in a local department store.
Mother-love burst Into full flam, and
all obstacles were swept before it.
"That's my baby," said th. girl to
th. woman with a baby.
"I don't think It Is," replied th. wom
an, as she gathered th. child In her
arms and hurried away.
Proves Baby Xers,
T, it Is my baby," Insist ad th.
girl; but the woman, who had received
the baby from a baby home, did not
stop. I
The young mother rapidly followed
her. not losing sight of her until th.
woman reached her home. There the
I girl convinced the woman that eh.
really was me rnomer or me oaDy, an j
was allowed to take the child.
As stated, the girl was employed In
a laundry and so was a certain youth
a year or two her senior. Their friend
ship ripened into love and a promts, to
wed. A mis-step was Ufken In 1914,
and four or flv. months befor. the
baby cam. the young man left for the
home of his parents In a distant state,
leaving the girl to face her trouble
alone.
CHrVs Parents AngTy.
The girl's parents were angry. They
hustled her offto a maternity home.
When she returned to her parents thoy
Insisted that the baby should be left
behind. This was done, until the day
the girl accidentally encountered her
baby in th. store. She Immediately
recognised the child and as quickly
formed her resolve to have it
She took the baby home to her par
ents, whose sternness was melted by
' the girl mother's show of affection for

The case was reported toyhe district

After the girl .mother told her story
to the grand jury, the jurors and
Deputy District Attorney Hammers y
became so interested la the baby that
they asked the mother to bring It as

Snake Kills Itself

Herts of Xos Angeles to unexpected

Denver, Colo., Dee. t. (I. N. 8.)
"Pursued by a Snake, or One Hundred
1 Thousand Dollars to th. Good." might
b. the title of a thriller enacted In the
Arizona desert by Herman Herts of
Los Angeles and friend reptile.
Seeing no on. but Herts around, a
alx foot rattlesnake occupying an ex
clusive den near Wittenburg, Ariz.,
gave chase. Herts dashed madly for
ward In the general direction of Cali
fornia, but the wriggler gained rapidly.
Then everything turned black before
his eyes. But it was not fear nor
falntness. Just a prospector's hole.
Herts realized he could not leap the
chasm that yawned before him. Mean
while the fangs of the reptile yawned
in back of him.
With rare, presence of mind Herts
brought himself to an abrupt halt, took
on. step to th. left and awaited th.
end.
Th. snake, however, was not gifted
with) Herts' cleverness. It slid on and
on until it plunged into the abyss.
Herts, who is a business man and
not a miner, rescued the snake's body
(for the snake died from its injuries),
and had himself photographed with
It. But before he left lie picked up
several . specimens of the rock the
miners had discarded In their search
for gold. Th. rock looked yellow.
but, recalling the famous saying that
all Is not gold that glitters,, h. had It
assayed and learned It waa vanadium.
Herts returned to Arizona and
bought th. hoi. that had sav.d his Ufa.
Today h. dashed madly into Denver.
He had received an offer of $100,000
cash for his property.

On. f th. most comprthengit ,

municipal paving plants heard in
Portland was presented through th.
program before th. Oregon ' CI via
league at the Multnomah het.1 yes

The discussion was featured by tn.

County Commissioner Rufus C Hol-
man said that in his opinion th. con',
tract system of paving is best, but
after he had listened to Mr. John
son's address he said. "It was an eye
opener to me." F. W. McKechnl. of
Oregon City said that Clackamas ,
