ing by the U. P. to San Francisco,

There ' is but one matter of conso
lation for The Dalles with regard to
the failure of firemen from different
cities to accept the invitation of this
city to come here and" contest for the
different prizes. It is that The Dalles
; team holds the championship cup. and
will continue to pose as the champions
of the state indefinitely, or until some
team comes here and wins it from them
in a race forthecupand nothing more.
Ex-Recorder Phelps is packing bis
law library today, preparatory to leav
ing next Monday for Heppner, where
he will permanently locate, having ar-
. ranged to take charge of Congressman
Ellis' law practice at that place. While
the Times-Mountaineer regrets Mr.
Phelps' determination to leave The
Dalles,' it congratulates the people of
.Heppner upon this acquisition to the
legal fraternity of their city, and
cheerfully recommends Mr. Phelps as
a thorough reliable and competent at
torney. ' Since the firemens tournament has
been declared off, the only hope of any
special event in The Dalles this fall
, reverts to a district fair and racing
season. Over $1,000 was subscribed
or the tournament, though unfortu
nately cannot be used for that purpose,
so why not attempt to have a rousing
big fair and series of races? Certainly
S1,000 can be raised for . purses, and
with the $1 ,500 appropiated by the state
for the district fair, would give a
respectable fund for the enterprise.
It appears to be "all oft" with candi
dates for federal appointments in thit
state just like it is with The Dalles
tournament. The delegation could
not . agree whom they would recom
mend, so Congressman Tongue skipped
out of Portland yesterday morning for
his quiet reteat at Hillsboro, to re
cuperate from his siege with the office
seekers in Portland. It is suggested
that the delegation charter a-tug and
go out over the bar at the mouth of the
Columbia where they can be free from'
the army of place hunters, and quietly
determine whoin they will endorse.

The other dav our party went in
carriages, jaunting cars and on bicy
cles to visit the Lava cave. This cave
is about one mile and a half from
Trout Lake, and is easy of access. We
arrived at the mouth of a huge cavern.
and found the men of the first Carriage
procuring pitch for torches, which
thev told us we must use. We found a
stout ladder, made of pinepoles, reach
ing down in the cave for -a distance of
forty feet, and touching the floor of
solid rock, it was a dizzy trip, bnt wc
descended in safety. At trie foot of the
ladder we lighted the torches and pro
ceeded to follow the guide. We were
in a room whose ceiling was forty feet
high, to begin with, and whose walls
were about the same distance apart,
We took the left-hand chamber to ex
plore, and found the floor compara
tively smooth for some distance, then
becoming corrogated, -and the walls
were very rough, showing how the
action of fire had melted the rocky
walls and the lava had run down,leav
ing globules and queer shaped pieces
which visitors break off and carry
away as relics.
People have differences of opinion
as to the causes which led to the for
mation of these caves. I believe that
there once existed veins of coal, and
that when Mt. Adams was a volcano.
the hot lava followed the veins of coal
and 'burned them, leaving a hollow
space now called J'caves." This seems
probable, but yet the mystery is un-I
explained. .
We followed the guide for a mile and
then saw away ahead of us a light,
which looked like a star in the heavens.
The effect was wierd, as the light
moved and soon we saw two and then
three and four moving up there, and
then John Filloon hallooed to us that
he wa9 going tip in the "loft." We
followed up and up. We reached the
summit of the "ude stairway, then be
gin going down just as far as we had
ascended. The way began getting
narrower and the -ceiling lower until
we bumped our heads very often. At
length we arrived at the end and
found cards left by other visitors.. We
left ours, so that those coming after,
us may see that we have been there too.
The air in the cave 'was quite cold so
that wraps had-to be worn.
This is a mile and a half long, and
osiog tired we did not stop to explore
the right-band cave. We secured
some very fine relics and climed out of
the cave, and on reaching the outer air
were almost ' smothered by contact
wish the heat, which was such a con
trast to that which we had been
breathing.
We started on to the famous Ice
caves which one appreciates on a warm
day. - -The dust- was "something that
must be met with to be properly appre
ciated. We were litterally covered by
about three. inches of real estate. We
soon came to a bole in the level ground
and descended a ladder for about
eighteen feet where a magnificent view
met our eyes. "Long icicles hanging
from an ice cealing to an ice floor.
Away back in the end of tbe cave are
huge pillar? of ice, which is 'called the
pulpit, and behind which some one
held lighted torches. The effect was
beautiful. The icicles shone like
diamonds in the brilliant light. I
have visited the caves often, bat have
never seen thenvso full of ice at this
time of the year August".. It seems
a shame for persons to break down
these pieces of ice. when there is a
cave .of the congealed aqueous sub
stance only about o . mife from Trout
Lake.
After going to.the outside world we
next went two miles to a beautiful
level meadow where we gathered a
gallon of wild strawberries and that.
evening we ' had strawberries' and
cream. -

A DELIGHTFIX SC.USIER RESORT.
Now-port A0nrrt Mnn.v AttitM-tlou for Ilie
Pleasure Seekers.
Kd. Timri-Miutntaiseeh:
Newport, Aug. 25, 1397.
We arrived here the firrt of the week,
and after coining out of the dust and
intense heat of the valley, we are
delighted with the salubiious atmos
phere of this fanious summer resort.
As I described N'mvport geograph
ically in in j' communication frmu here
last year, a repetition is unnecessary,
but will repeat that this is odo of the.
most attractive summer resorts on the.
Pacific coast, and is easily reached
from Portland by taking the Southern.
Pacific and O. C. & E. trains, connect
ing with the latter road either at
Albany or Corvallis. Leaving Port
land after breakfast, Newport is
reached by dinner time. Many Port
landers are here this summer, and
among others wo mot who have
traveled fur to seo the old Pacific ocean
at this point were parties from Boise
City. Prineville. and a few familiar
faces from our city, among the latter
are Mr. Sharp and family, Mr. Van
Norden and daughter, Mrs. Wood.
The. attractions hero are so diversi
fied, that one can llnd somethiognew
every day. The bay, the beach, the
town, the Vvilderness. The waters of
the bay are so smoot h, that rowing and
sailing may be indulged in with safety,
while the drives along the sandy beach
are delightful beyond my description.
From the brooks and rivers one may
capture trout to'their heart's delight,
while from the bay and ocean one

out for a steep hill ahead of us. We
could not think of letting a single hift
in sight go "unclurcb," after having
been ascending the mountain back
there only the day previous. We were
afraid we would lose the art of climb
ing if we desisted too soon. We ar
rived at the top and began to hunt
around for a trail, and found a beauti
ful, well-worn one, which seemed to
have been travelled every day for
years. Wo were innocently happy
over the "find," and said 'this should
have been the one to have taken us to
the top of the mountain. We followed
the trail. over.Jogs.. down jjnto shady
woods, across purling brooks whose
banks were fringed by' beauilful ferns
and wild ginger, by the pretty. twin
flowers which have such delicate frag
rance in tneir pink bells, and we
stopped a few moments to drink in the
beauty of this sylvan scene. We
traveled' on again, happy in the
thought that we would soon be back
in Minnehaha camp and resting from
our trip.
Soon we are traversing a more rocky
country, where huge' pillars of grey
stone rose a hundred feet in the air.
then we went through dense bracken,
and crossed another stream of clear,
cold water, and then the trail led
through more open country down a
steep bill, and we found it almost
noon-time, but concluded to not take
lunch until later. We were going
down a very steep, rocky little pitch
when I noticed the horse which the
girls rode, shy a little and wondered
what the reason could be, when my
pony began dancing down hill at a
Maud S. gait, I holding on to the
bridle in front and to a bundle of rope
attached to the saddle behind, with a
small yalise tied to the right side of
the horse standing out straight, with
my eyes bugging out and wondering
what had come over the spirit of ' my
heretofore very slow pony, my bonnet
flying ; with every jump, but I de.
ter mined to stay in the saddle,' and
trying between the bounces to ejacu
late the word which occurred to my
mind, '-'yellow jackets!" I found I
was right, for on the shoulder of my
pony, I 84w a bug of the tailor made,
or small-waisted variety, known as
wasps. The professor came running
to meet me and inquired the reason of
ray sudden rush. When I got breath
enough ahead .to tell him. how they
all laughed and wished for a kodak. I
must have been a study for either
kodak or camera, and wish I could
have seen myself as others saw mo.
A short distance from where this in
cident took place wi arrived at a quak
ing aspen grove near which was -a
spring, and could sue the hills around
Glenwood. I remarked to the girls
that when we 'should get to the little
town of Glenwood, that would get
some one to take us to Trout Lake
The guide beard this remark, and at
pnee began looking about for the right
direction. He said: "In three hours
we shall arrive at Circle City." (which
Is near the White Salmon bridge.) I
said, do you think so, Mr, Smith? So
on we trudged, getting very weary and
thought of what we would have for
Sunday dinner. Visions of fried spring
chicken and its accompanying
dainties flashed through our mind?,
and helped us to keep from getting too
hungry. . Let me remark that we had
started out from camp with provisions
enough for two days and this was near
tbu plose o the third day, Eery one
else could make the trip in two days,
and why should, not we? This we
thought of at the time we left camp
buoyantly happy. .
We traveled and traveled, over logs,
through thickets of fir 'underbusb,
across canyons, over bills and at last
after about four, hours riding, I gently
enquired oi the guide, "where is Circle
City, Mr. Smithy" only silence for an
answer. I Delleve tho guide , was
"riled" and I wondered if it was" be
cause of my innocent question! or be'
cause he did not know where he. was
at." He told me after about a half
hour of studied silence that these
woods were as new to him as to me. - I
said, "oh, I knew all the time where I
was, we yere going straight to Glen
wood oyer a iiheep Jrail,'-' be looked
daggers, but said nothing.
Finally e struck a trail once more,
and found it was the one we had trav
ersed the first day out. t is now
about four o'clock. We come to the
White Salmon river. - Shall - we ford
it? We ha"e had all sorts of experi
ences and conclude to ford the riyer;
there aca not enpugh ponies " to go
around so the guide &iount3 tfte largest
one and ferries us over, one at a time,
on the horse behind blm. This is fun,
and after due time all are across. We
reach the 3to(er Trut Lake ranch at
six O'clock P. U., so tired that we can
hardly move, and glad U) get back
without a scratch op a bruise. - We
considered we were very fortunate
after the rough trip. We were glad to
see the low log house at Stoller's with
its low, sloping' roof, and the good
housewife within spread us a supper
fit to' tne gods. Did coffee and crerua
and every thing on a table ever taste
bo good? Well, hardly eyef. ' We are
the Uounders. tho salmon, the cod oi
hallibut; and nestled among the rocks
and the sand are the crab, the shrimp
and various kinds of clams and the
famous rock oyster. While justt be
yond the city limits the sportsman can
find the snipe and quail, and a few
hours' walk will take him to the haunts
of the mountain lion and the bear.
The surf bathing is tine here and

Congressman Hooker autt Party View the
Columbia.
Sunday lion. W. IJ. Hooker, of
New York, chairman of the house com
mittee on rivers and harbors, accom
panied by Mrs. Hooker and children,
Mrs. Thomas W. Moore and Miss Scs
sions, of New York, came up the Col
umbia from Portland, and spent a few
hours in Tho Dalles. The D. 1 & A.
N. Co. had placed at the disposal of
the party their boat Dalles City, which
left Portland at 4 o'clock Sunday
borning, carrying besides the visiting
congressman and party Representa
tives Ellis and Tongue, ex-Governor
Moody, Judge Mnivland and Mr. and
Mrs. Gill, of Portland, Miss Ilortha
Tonguo. of Hillsboro, Hon. T. J.
Driver and Capt. Lewis, of The Dalles.
The steamer Regulator nir-t the
Dalies City at Cascade Locks, cirryin
a committee of The Dalles Commercial
clubappointed to meetthecongrossmen
consisting of Hon. Chas. Hilton, Hon.
B. S. Huntington, W. Col. Patterson
Lo-d and J. VV. French, also Hon. VV.
H. Biggs, receiver of the land office, A.
A. Hrown, merchant, and J. A I),,iilhit,
editor Times-Mountaineer. Un
fortunately a cloud of smoke hovered
over the river, preventing the visitors
from abroad viewing the magniticent
scenery of the gorgue of the Columbia,
though Congressman looker was en
abled to carefully ex.toiine the river
from Portland to The Dalles, and
judge of its importance as a water
way. He expressed the opinion that
it was one of the grandest rivers in the
world, and was free to state that he
considered it the province of the gov
ernment to remove all obstructions to
its navigation irora trie I'acuic ocean
to its source.
When The Dalles City arrived here.
Governor Moody secured an engine of
the O. R. O N. Co.. it bjiog impos
sible to get a coach, and accompanied
Mr. Hooker to the rapids b-it'we.in Tne
Dalles and Celilo, where it is proposed
to construct the ship railways. Thus
Mr. Hooker was given an opportunity
to personally inspect the grjund over
which tli3 next improvement to the
Columbia is to bi raii.s. a.iJ no doubt
what, he saw will inll i vie; his actions
when the question of appropriations
for this improvement shall be referred
to his committee at future sessions-of
coigress.
. It is U be regrevte.l thtt Congress
man! Hooker could not havo had more
tirue trTinnuiisj iato the resources of
the. country to be affected by this im
provement, but his time was limited,
he having arranged to j iu Congress
man Sherman, of New Yortc, who was
a p.tssonger on the six o'clock train,
en route to Yellowstone Park.
Congressmen Eilis and Tongue were
called back to Portland, hence were
unable to accompany M. Hooker tj
the rapids, nevertheless the visit of the
chairman of the rivers and harbors com
mittee cannot but be of benefit to the
Inland Empire in securing appropria
tions for river improvements, for Mr.
Hooker now has a personal knowledge
of the needs of the country for freer
navigation of the great waterway of
the Northwest, and this knowledge
will aid him in forming estimates of
the amount of money required.
