He scaled the pinnacles first, using a hatchet to cut into the ice coat that covered the side of the big rocky wall? With his free hand he held to the projecting rocks Jut ting through the ice in places. Over one shoulder and under an arm was the coJi of new heavy rope to be used by, the rest of the party in climMng. "Just as Mr. Gates reached the top of the wall, the hatchet dropped from his cold fingers. It came hurtling down to the narrow ledge where two of us were stand ing, looking up. The handle slid harmlessly down Major Koblin's shoulder blade and was saved from falling a mile or more down the slope. "Suppose the sharp edge had struck one of us! Xo time to think of that, for the man at the top of that icy, perpendicular wall had secured one end of the rope around a solid rock, and his voice was saying, 'Let Miss Geer coma first.' S "I went up hand over hand. The Turkish bloomers puffed out like balloons and the short skirt went up to my elbows, for a strong stiff wind roars up that mountain aide. "From where Lem Gates gener ously waited was only a gentle slope to the very highest point of the pinnacles. I made It In a few minutes and nearly pitched headlong into a shallow crater. (Indians had told us Mount Jef ferson was once a smoky moun tain.) ... In a very short time all of our party of five were up over the rope, and ; the Manama box had been carried to the top. "The experience was glorious, and I am very sure the writer was the first woman to reach the top of this recently much talked of mountain. , "Musa Geer, "Goodnoe Hills, Wash." S S The above from Miss Geer makes a valuable addition to the series in this column finished on Thursday, containing as it does several pieces of new and in teresting information on the sec ond ascent of Mount Jefferson to its pinnacles.

She taught in the Granf (then called Northt Salem) andlthe Yew Park grade schools, and ljater was one of the first members of the Salem high school faculty, when it . was commenced in the East (now Washington; building. She Is now postmistress at Goodnoe Hills, Klickjtat county, i Washington, across thie Columbia I river from The Dalles. Oregon; i and she owns a general merchan i dise store in her town. Her father was L. B. ("By") Geer of the family that produced T. T. Geer, governor of Oregon. Musa Geer. remembered with affectionate re gard by hosts of grown men and women. In her classes when they attended the Salem nubile schools. deserves the gratitude of history minded people everywhere for her timely contribution. She asked the writer to look over and make necessary correc tions in her hurriedly scribbled manuscript. It needed no changes; the reader will agree that It la a gem.
