They leave Monday for their home at Mitchell. 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. sides having had a inott enjoyable visit ha witnessed many skillful mi'-gleal operations.

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. - So much for this days exploration?, Our party who went to the Ice Cave were Mr. and Mrs. Filloon, Misses Eff i and Minnie Crooks, Edith Fisher, and Lena Thompson, Mrs. Fisher,. Mr. ASCKST OK MT. ADAMS. '1 he Trip Described by an Amateur Moun tain Climber. Continued from last week. We were awakened next morning by hearing some one say: '"This reminds roe of tlie sleeping beauties in the wood.'' I am still wondering if the owner of that voice meant what he said or if he ivas making fun of our towseled hair and blistered noses and faces with the powder washed off in streaks. If I thought be dared make fun of us I would never speak to him again, would you? Our noses looked like the head light of an engine or a search light, but tho professor need not. make any remarks about our proboscis for his nose wa9 red too, but I think that was caused by the contents of a certain bottle I saw him carrying, and whose label did not spell milk, though the contents did look the color of laete al fluid, but I will not say any more for I promised to say nothing and with me "mum's the word" as everybody knows. The professor is a good cook, and of fered to get breakfast if we would only tell him what the bill of fare should be. We thought of quail on toast and .other delicacies, but told him we would get up after awhile and get breakfast, but when we tried to ''arise" we found we were almost paralyzed, so after several trials we got up and prepared the morning meal. We found that two of the ponies had left us the evening before, so the two girls rode the professor's pony and I the other cayuse, with the professor and the guide walking ahead, leading the pack-animal, we started off on the procession homeward bound. The first thing we proceeded to do after leaving the sheep camp, was to get lost. The trail we had been following going to tackle Mt. .Hood next year, Mr. Editor, and if we don't reach the uinmit, it will not be our fault. Au revoir. Inez Fiixoox. 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.

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 one can bathe with perfect safety, as accidents do cot occur. .The tug Resolute has been making short voyages to sea, going out over the. bar with excursion parties, and last week during a trip, several im mense whiV-3- cere acn, Tne Reso lute sailed this morning for Klondike, amid blowing of whistles and 'kerchiefs waving in the air.--- " " " ' '. One of the most interesting places to visit is the light-house. Mr. S went up, but since my accident I can not indulge iu many strolls on the beach. The gentlemanly keepers are very kind to explain the workings of the immense light to those who are inter ested, and" wish to learn about-ft. Eight gallons of oil are consumed every night, and the light can be seen j at a distance of 23 miles, and one cap- j tain claims to haye seen it as far as 36 miles. Conveyances are ready to take pleasure parties to Otter Rocks, Seal Rock and many places of interest, a little farther than one cares to walk. Hotels ' and boarding houses are numerous, and one can secure good board at "home" prices. The markets are supplied with everything that the San Francisco' and Portland markets afford, and very reasonable. Vege tables grown here are of a fine quality. The Summer Educational Associa tion has been in session here during this month. An auditorium building was erected with a seating capacity of 2,000. Popular lectures and entertain ments were given this week, and many teachers took advantage of the oppor tunity to combine st udy and recreation, and seek knowledge while enjoying at the same time a delightful summer outing. - This nlaoe affords two bowlintr ! alleys, and they are well patronized.

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.
