Furuya, Portland Japanese artist, to with stand the rigors of the sudden atom caused the tragedy on Vonnt Shuksan Sunday, which cost his life and that of Miss Thel ma Martin, Seattle a story of the disaster told today by Herman P. "Wnnderling. Seattle, a survivor, indicated. Wnnderling was on his way from Mount Baker lodge to this city late today. The other survivor Miss Lea McDowell, also of Seattle, was eu route here in another car. Both -were suffering from exhaustion - and their toes and fingers were frozen.. "The two women and myself started out from Chain Lake Sat urday noon," Wunderling said, "and Furuya asked to Join us. He Mid he was an experienced moan taineer and desired to take some pictures of Shuksan. We stayed at Lake Ann Saturday night and carry Sunday proceeded up the trail to Shuksan. About noon a atorm, becoming fiercer every minute, developed and we tried to reach a shelter known as the 'pin nacle.' " By 2 o clock Furuya was weakening rapidly. He slipped twice and finally plunged toward a crevasse. I was leading and all four were roped together. The (Iris were carried into the cre vasse by the Japanese, but he dang to the edge. I managed to Set him on his feet j and then palled out the girls. Furuya be came frantic and we had gone only a short distance farther to within 10 minutes climb of the abetter, when he fell again, this time carrying us all into a small crevasse. Before we knew it, he had expired. "Miss Martin, who was tied di rectly behind him, showed the ef fects of the pulling of the rope and the frequent falls of Furuya. We got her to a shelter and hud dled her there. I took off my coat nd wrapped it around her and we did everything we could to keep her alive. "She died at 7:30 a. m., Mon day. Furuya had died at mid night." Wunderling then described how Miss McDowell and" himself wan dered around in the storm after their two companions had died. "We tried to reach a shelter, but became lost in the blizzard. I had a siren which I sounded fre quently and this led to our dis covery by searchers about noon Monday, when we were groping dangerously near a cliff In an al most exhausted condition. We were returned to Lake Ann, where we remained Monday night and iWere able to go, unaccompanied 4y horseback to Mount Baker lodge today, arriving about 11:30 a. m." The party rested there about an hour before starting for this city In automobiles. They planned to continue to Seattle tonight. Wnnderling, an experienced mountaineer, was a member of the most recent Mount Rainier rescue party. Mil IP (Continued from Page 1.) In two hours started retracing their route to Cleveland. At Chicago the Sun God was eat to 8t. Paul to fly over the proposed northern air mall route. They refuelled at St. Paul, Aber deen, 8. D., Miles City, and Mis soula, Mont. In the rarlfied atmosphere at 1000 feet over Rock Springs, Wyo., refueling was most diffi cult, and before a contact was completed the flight barely missed disaster. Only ten gallons of gas oline remained in the tanks when the first BO gallons was transfer red. Once more, when the fliers reached western Pennsylvania on the return trip, a storm threaten ed to ground them. Weathering this they straightened their course westward and completed the hop ta 48 hours and 62 minutes, 17 hours and 45 minutes quicker than the eastward passage.

Hurt Vuommento By CURTIS Football season Is here. - We didn't expect to have much to say about football until after next week at the earliest; but those good resolutions all fell overboard when we got our first glimpse of the new rulebook Tuesday. Blamed, If they haven't changed the dimensions of the ball again. Looks like the man ufacturers of footballs are tak ing a leaf out of the automo bile manufacturers' book, and changing the model every year so that last year's model is out of date. The new ball isn't quit as long as last year's. Some ex perts ay it will be easier to kick. That's true, if you mean it will take less skill. But kicks won't go as far. A lot of publicity has been given to the change in the fumble rule. "A ball which has been muffed or fumbled and then recovered by the opponents - after striking the ground, may not be advanced hut is dead automatically at the point of recovery." It rules , out the thrilling recovery of the other fel lows' fumble and the run for touchdown, and also the wlerd "boner" when a fumble is recov ered and run back the wrong; way. The fact that Roy Riegels of California pulled that one in the big intersection! game with Georgia Tech New Peer's day, may have had something to do with the rules committee's de cision. But there's another change that wasn't noticed so much: "The ball is dead when a kicked ball is legally recovered by the kicker's side." This has reference to kick offs, free kicks, and kicks which do not cross the line of scrimmage. Nothing is said about it, so we suppose it's still possible to score a touchdown by recover ing your own team's kirkoff or free kicks; but to do it, you'll have to recover the ball behind the opponents' goal. There'll be no more "passive in terference" by players Ineligible to receive a forward pass. The rule has been changed so that no dis tinction is made between interfer ence before or after the ball is thrown. And the burden of proof is placed on the offensive team. Interference cannot begin until the ball Is caught. Try-for-polnt after a touch down is to be made from scrim mage with the ball on the two yard line instead of on the three-yard line. The other changes are unim portant. If a player catches the ball on a kickoff, then fumbles it and it goes out of bounds, it isn't any longer an out of bounds kick off. School teams are allowed to modify the rules about return of substitutes, by mutual consent. Slight changes have been made in the wording of rules regarding equipment and conduct of players. This list doesn't Include enough changes to make the game difficult to follow. The fumble rule will be the one prin cipally on trial. Host coaches, so far as we've noticed, favor the change, at least until they see how it works. It all depends on your point of view. If you want only thrills, it's probable that you have been de prived of something. But that loss will we believe be overcome in the added confidence which the rule will give the offense. Players handling the ball will know that the highest penalty for a fumble will be loss of the ball; a fumble can't be converted Into a touch down. What's more, a little more of the luck has been taken out of the game. One other thing we noticed in the football guide. "Xig" Borleske of Whitman is still permitted to write the summary of the northwest conference season. It's a fair summary this time, because Borleske's team won a clear title In football. Capital Posfs Drum Corps is Well Received Bursts of applause followed each number presented by Capital Post drum corps in Willson park Tuesday afternoon, as a special exhibition drill for the visiting Kl- wanls delegates. More than 100 persons watched the demonstra tion. Special features of the bugling and drumming and the work of the bass-drummers and cybalists drew many comments from watch ers. The drum major received a private burst of applause when he Youth Who Set Forest Fires is Reprimanded GRANTS PASS, Ore., Aug;. 20. (AP) State forestry office agents announced here today that they had obtained a confession from a 14-year-old farmer boy that he had set a fire which re cently burned out 75 acres of re forested land in the Williams creek section. - The boy, whose name was not disclosed, was taken to the of fice of the district attorney and reprimanded. He was sentenced to : make a tour of the burned area as ' an - object lesson, the agents de-! elared.

But at the last view they were follow ing the sun westward to their dis tant goal. After that no ship at sea sight ed them during the day and the night, and today passed without any report of their whereabouts or their fate. It was foggy along the coast today and if they reach ed Newfoundland and Nova Sco tia they were not seen. Judging from their speed as far as the Azores, the Swiss fliers should have reached New York at four o'clock this afternoon, sup posing that their use of fuel had been so economical that they were encouraged to make the entire flight non-stop. Roosevelt Field on Long Island, was their destina tion, whether or not they should stop for fuel in Nova Scotia. But there was no sign of them there as the hours passed. Field officials decided to burn the beacons all night, but there was small belief that the fliers would arrive for It was generally felt that their fuel could not have lasted' so long and that the au dacious young fliers must be down somewhere along their course. The plane was a French land plane with no equipment for land ing on the water and the only safeguard in case of a forced lighting on the sea was a rubber suit with which each aviator had supplied himself. TO KNOW STATUS (Continued from Page 1.) tlons payments by the Reich ought not to be higher than those provided for In the Young plan, it is not logical to ask Germany to pay more even if the reparations creditors are unable to agree on adoption of the plan. Professor Jacob yiner, or ine University of Chicago, a native of Canada, discussine the exchange of capital between the United States and Canada, said that three billion dollars of American money is invested in the dominion. Am erican investments in Canada have gone into industrial enter prises, he said, while British cap- Ital has been placed In bonds. There Is no danger of political complications arising from the emnlovment of American capital In large amounts in Canada, he believes. Geonre Young. Labor member of the British parliament, discus sing post war contsitutlonal changes in Europe, said empires and monarchies have been sbaat- tered bv the experience of the war epoch, bu faith in personal gov ernments has on the whole been strengthened to dictatorships as deposities to democracies he de clared. "Democracy Is not decadent. he said in conclusion. "There are new forms, but the evidence Is that democracy Is much alive." FORTY MILLION CUT .S. (Continued from Page 1.)

The finance committee republi cans continued to work today on administrative provisions of the house bill, hearing Chairman Mar vin and Vice Chairman Dennis of the tariff commission. Chairman Smoot announced aft er the morning session that the two commissioners had expressed favor with the new provisions re lating to commission procedure, with some modifications. Considerable time was given to the proposed change to permit the commission to consider differ ences In conditions of competition between foreign and domestic art icles instead of differences in cost of production alone as a basis up in which to establish a duty to equalize such conditions. CITY READY TO (Continued from Page 1.) 5. 1923, and in July and Decem ber, 1924, included applications for rights to waters of the North Santiam. Marion lake, Marion fork, Punle creek and Whitewater creek, constituting in all 470 sec ond feet, and for the storage of 25,000 acre feet In Marion lake reservoir. The protest states "That on its face it Is very apparent that the original applicants of which the Northwest Power company is as signee, did not make these filings or applications In good faith but merely for speculation, and have never developed or attempted to develop any power sites or power plants. "That there is no demand or ne cessity at this time for the de velopment of hydro electric power plants at the point or points named In the application, and an investment In ahy amount of money or capital cannot be justi fied by any demand or market for any power that might be de veloped, as the towns, cities and population tributary are all sup plied by large power companies ready, willing and capable of fur nishing electricity for all demands. "That the rivers and lakes herein named, together with their water sheds, are more valuable to the residents and citizens of Mar ion and Linn counties for a play ground and recreation than for in dustrial power purposes and should be held intact and set apart as such in order to better preserve the peace, health and happiness of the citizens of Salem and neighboring communities." V. J. CULVER IS T (Continued from Page 1.) dence there served in the custom's office at Juneau. Upon his return to Marlon county Mr. Culver was named de puty county surveyor, later be ing named roadmaster, a position he held for many years. As roadmaster for Marion coun ty Mr. Culver spent the most val uable years of his life, having the major responsibility In the plan ning and construction of the sys tem of county and market roads for which Marlon county has re ceived statewide and national re cognition. His work attracted the attention generally of roadmen who recognized in Mr. Culver a leader In efficient engineering and economical construction. Mr. Culver's work as roadmast er followed four years spent as sheriff from 1904 to 1908 and a period of years when not in coun ty work. As roadmaster Mr. Cul ver was directly in charge of all road construction and mainten ance In the county.

Barnes on a jaunt into Mexican territory, and was forced to land at Cannea, Sonora, 60 miles from the border, before she got her bearings. She reported that large numbers of Canea citizens rush ed toward her plane, but that she took off before the welcomers got within hailing distance. Mrs. Wal ker also was lost, landing first at Lordsburg, N. M. All of the entrants were sadden ed at news of Miss Marvel Cros son, whose plane fell near Well ton, Ariz., yesterday. Mrs. Thaden and Mrs. O'Donnell, close friends of the San Diego girl, burst into tears when the news reached them.
