C'ontiuuuicHtion Deposited Septem

Sister
BEND, Ore., Sept. 17. (AP)t
Either Henry Cramer or Guy Fer
ry may be alive in the Cascade
mountains, it was believed here
tonight, and possibly both youths
who have been missing since La
bor day may be found. A note
signed by the two The Dalles boys
was found today in the registra
tion box at the summit of Little
Sister. It was dated Sept. 5 and;
said the weather then was cold
and stormy. The discovery caused
new searching parties to be hastily
formed and caused leaders of the
search to redouble their efforts
and call for more mountaineers to
assist today. The boys have been
searched for ten days.
The note said: "Wef left
Black Camp about 11 a. m. and
reached the summit at 3:30 p.
m. We were up here yesterday in
such a blizzard that we couldn't
find the registration box. Stormy
and cold today.
The note was discovered by C.
A. Britton, Roseburg Boy Scout
executive, accompanied by Stanley
Kidder, N. J. Wulfsberg and Emd
Nordeen. Kidder, Britton and
Wulfsberg climbed from South
Bend and Nordeen from the east.
The four met at the summit.
Britton is considered one of the
best qualified mountaineers of the
district. He voiced the opinion
that the boys got back below, the
skyline' trail In the vicinity of Ob
sldien cliff the night of Sept. 5,
basing this supppsiton on weather
conditions known to have pre
vailed at .the time the note was
written.
