SO CLAIM MR. AND MRS. WAIT
MAN WADE, SUPPORT
ERS OF DR. COOK
Mr. and Mrs. Waitman T. Wade, of
447 Sixth street, Portland, are loyal
supporters of Dr. Cook in his claim
to have reached the summit oil Mount
McKinley. They, with two others,
formed a party oT prospectors who
were among the last to converse
with Dr. Cook prior to his attempted
ascent of the peak on the southwest
ern side. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wade
are firm In their conviction that Dr.
Cook and his party made the ascent
on the southeastern slope of Mount
McKinley, after a futile attempt to
reach the summit on the west.
Mr. and Mrs. Wade spent the en
tire summer of 1906, irospectlng
along the southern base of Mount
McKinley, they tell a Portland report
er. While searching for "pay dirt"
about the foot of the mountain
they came upon Dr. Cook and his
party camped at Dutch Creek, a
branch of the Kahiltna, which drains
th southwestern side of the moun
tain. This was on the afternoon of
July 14, 1906, according to entries
In a diary kept by Mrs. Wade of
ber sojourn in the wilds near the
base of the mountain. Cook and his
party were then camped about 20
miles from Mount McKinley and to
the southwest. After a few hours'
visit in the Cook camp, during which
Dr. Cook expressed his determination
to reach the summit of the mquntaln,
the Wade party pressed on eastward,
According tq statements of Mr.
and Mrs. Wade, verified by maps and
diary note3, the Wade party contin
ued eastward, along the foot of the
mountain, for four weeks and event
ually reached the southeastern ba.se
of the mountain after crossing the
Chulitno and Shushltna rivers. .From
their camp at the foot of the moun
tain they saw the possibility of
reaching the summit of Mount Mc
Ttinley along its gradual Incline. :
Known in this County.
. Mr. and Mrs. Wade are well known
In this county. He is a brother of
Aaron Wade of Alder Slope and of
Sam Wade of Lostlne. He resided In
Union county for many years and he
has numerous relatives out there, In
cluding three sisters, Mrs. R. W.
Laughlinl oS LaGrande, Mrs. C. A. My
I ers and Mrs. S. L. Brooks of Sum
imerville. Another brother, Hon. Jus-
tus Wade, former state senator tor
I this district, now resides In Walla

Files Objections
Board of Equalization Asked to Re
duce Assessment from $25,000
to. $7,000. .
The O. R. & N. through Its repre
sentative filed objections before the
board of equalization to the assess
ment of the road by County Assess
or B. F. Miller and asked that the
amount be reduced from $25,000 a
mile to $7,000 a mile.
The matter was taken under ad
visement by "the board, but as it has
been officially stated that the cost of
the road was $28,000 a Vnlle It is
scarcely probable that the demands
for a reduction will be acceded to.
Very few other objections were
filed. A, few tax-payers thought their
assessment's were higher than their
neighbors and registered complaints,
but on the whole the assess
ment seems to have been considered
Just and equitable. The board will
be In session until November 18. .

ced. Boys and girls of Portland and vi

'o a poultry raining movement fost
ared by the local Y. M. C. A. About
1,000 have Joined the Portland Ju

ful and profitable nature of the work
ind because the industry needs Hum

iupply of poultry and eggs In this
section being Inadequate to meet the
demands.

has ordered the shipment of 2,000,
000 Sockeye eggs from the Yes
Buy, Alaska, hatchery to be delivered
to the Bonneville hatchery and the
)ung fry will be turned into the Co
lumbia. During the past few years
the Hofkeye has been growing scarce

ficient quantities to meet the ravage
Homestead, Nov. 1. Within a week
trains will be running Into Home
stead over the new Northwestern rail
road from Huntington.The big tunnel
through Ox-Bow mountain is finish
ed, as is also the bridge across Pine
creek, and tracklaylng on the last
rour mile lap of the road reaching
to this place is well under way.
Regular train service will be put
on at an early date and the many
mines near here are preparing to
ship large quantities of ore.. Some
of the richest copper mines in the
west are situate! here, but develop
ment of them ha bean retarded by
the lack of transportation..
It Is understood that the rallro.id
company has let a contract for the
completion of the road from the
place-through the famous Box Can
yon, to connect with the Lewlston
end of the road, thus affording them
a water grade from the summit of
the Rockies to Portland and obviat
ing the necessity or crossing the sev
eral mountain ranges between Hunt
lngton and Pendleton.
The road through Box Canyon will
be one of the most expensive pieces
of road to construct In the United
States, the roadbad having to be
blasted out of so'dd rock for a dis
tance of 36 ml'es. The scenery
