BACHELOR MOUNTAIN
CLIMB RECOMMENDED
Hike Ih Not Difficult, Says Forestry
Man, mid Wonderful Scene In
Heveuled From Summit.
For those In Bond nnd elsewhere
who enjoy mountain climbing coupled
with a chanco to got n panoramic
vlow of tho most beautiful scenery
In Contrnl Orogon, William Sprout, of
the Deschutes forestry service, ad
vises a llttlo rfnunt to the top of
Bachelor mountain. Mr. Spront re
turned this morning from tho moun
tain summit nnd declnred that the
trip Is ono which should not bo
missed. Prom the top of Bncholor
he counted no less than 17 lakes dot
ting tho surrounding country, while
tho horizon was ritnmod by snow
capped poaks.
The trip Is not especially arduous,
Mr. Spront snB, ns tho distance lo
the base of the mountain, going by
way of the Tumalo ranger station
is only about 30 miles, while the
mountain Itself "presents a gradual
slope well fitted for easy climbing.
As far as records found on the sum
mit Indicate, Mr. Spront and his par
ty were tho first. to scale the peak
since 1910, when a party of Mnzamas
EW
1
reached the top..
and Mr. Thordarnon entered a plea
that tils recommendutlon be consid
ered necessary In hiring new teach
ers. He declared that he considered
the securing of trained teachers of
much more Importance than main
taining proper toilet conditions,
evinced his preference for Normal
graduates rather than for university
Htrulned men and women, and assert
ed that he would deposit a 11000
bond lo guarantee the raising of the
I efficiency of the Bend educational
system to HO per cent if bis plan were
.followed. Us present efficiency, he
said, is about 2D per cent.
' IIIb suggestion was not accepted
by the board, but Clerk II. J. Over
turf was nulhorlzcd to communicate
with Henry M. Grant, of Wallula,
Washington, and Miss Veronica Cane,
of La I'lne, applicants for positions
In the schools, 'that the board would
be glad to have personal Interviews
with them.
To muku possible closer supervis
ion by the directors. It was decided
that regular meetings of the board

held, the first being set for the close

(Br United Frera to the Bend Bulletin)
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 27.
The Amerirnn dog is going to do his
bit in the war.
Red Cross Canines arp In big de
mand on the western front. Wear
ing gas-masks, they go out between
the trenches and locate unconscious,
wounded men in piles of dead.
The Red Cross establishment
which will care for Amorlcan wound
ed when the National Army starts to
pounding the forces of the Kaiser
would be Incomplete without its quo
ta of dogs. Plans are under way to
have Uncle Sam's bow-wows take
tholr places on the fighting line be-
sldo those of France and Great Brit
ain, some of which have actually re
ceived decorations for their work
unilor fire.
Sovoral months of training is neces
sary botore tho dogs are ready for
service. They must be taught to
rungo the shell-swept areas of "No
Man's Land," hunting the wounded
whom the busy stretcher-bearers
could not at first glance distinguish
from the dead. When an uncon
scious man Is located, the dog is
trained to carry his "tin-hat" or the
shrapnel helmet, to the stretcher
bearers, and then to lead them back
to where the sufferer Is lying.
-Many Red Cross dogs have been
produced In England. As trench war-
liure una ruuuureu iiiuui n iiuuesauy,
a project Is under consideration to
train the Amorlcan "Rovers" some
where in the United States and to
send them over with other Red Cross
units'. Blue bloods are not the ouly
ones . needed. Yollow curs can do
tholr bit tor America also, it' they
have the Bplrlt, and enough "dog
brains."

Davies walks down a Portland

miring eyes. American soldiers look
at his uniform, wonder what new
kind of a fighting man he may be,
and then. Just to make sure, they
usually salute.
"I was walking down the street the
other day," Davles said today, "and
I saw an American soldier with a
girl on each arm coming down the
street. He looked at me, and evi
dently was unable to figure out just
what kind of a soldier I was.
He let

and then he remembered he had a
