Dr. Stryker, Portland Dealitt Im

lata Crevaat oa Hood
Dr. S. W. Stryker, a PortUnd
dentist, wu killed when he, with
Mven othen, wu carried down the
slope of Mt Hood and hurled into
crevasse while making an ascent
of the mountain. The accident oc
curred last Sunday.
With a party of Portland Main
mas the victim and others, were
roped together. They (truck a maun
of loose mow which slid downward,
carrying the party a distance of 610
feet and they were hurled Into a cre
vasse to a depth of 30 feet. . In fall
ing Dr. Stryker was Impaled on his
alpenstock, -one end of which pene
trated his side, causing death before
he could be taken down the moun
tain. '
How The AcclJant Occurred
According to the fclory of one of
thoite who witnessed the catatro)he,
Claraca C. Oliver, Oregoiiian report
er, the accident occurred substantial
ly as follows:
Cresting Place Steep
The place where we had to cross
Coe (lacier waa very steep. An ad
vance party, unroped, headed by
Judge Stadter had gone, ahead to cut
ice-steps. The rest of the party had
lined up Immediately behind, In
roped groups. We wore all strung
out in a line and on the level, with
our alpenstocks biting Into the snow
to keep us erect. Directly in front
of my group, divided by only a few
feet was the group containing
Dr. Stryker. Ahead of them were
two other parties, then Judge Stadt
er and the others of the advance
guard. The rest of the party was
strung out In groups behind ours.
"Suddenly I heard someone in
the group ahead of mo shout 'Look
outl'i I looked up and saw two of
thoae In the middle of tho group
falling down the steep slope. Their
alpestocks apparently had slipped.
The line bellied out In the middle,
and two of the others tumbled oftcr
them. The rest of the roped-in group
strove desperately to stop the de
scent with their alpenstock, but,
while we watched in horror, we saw
them, one by one, pulled off the
trait. Our head man could not have
BUILD UP YOUR OWN TOWN
By So Doing You Will Add To Your

Every timo you do something to

are helping build up the city. By do
ing all you can to build up Mnupin
you are helping to build up your
own business.
Maupin at last has one camp
ground, one which wj)uld be a credit
to any place. Messrs. W. II. and 0.
J. Williams have expended a large
amount of money in providing a
place where tourists can find ac
commodations and where such will
upend somo money while here. Here
tofore campers have had to seek a
place to pitch tents on the flat be
low the bridge, and that was any
thing but comfortable. In tho new
camp ground are to be found com
fortable cabins, a spreading sward,
shower baths, electric ranges and a
plentiful supply of that water of
whlchMauplnitcs are proud. That
grounds invites travelers, and our
people should take into considera
tion the fact that they invite camp
era to stay in Maupin whiK; on fish
ing trip!) and not be compcllid to
seek stopping places elsewhere be
cause of lack of camp accommoda
tions, i .
It is a case of one hand helping
another by directing tourists to tho
Williams' camp ground across tho
river. " ' . '

reached them In time, and, if he
could have, it would only probably
havt disturbed our line-up and sent ,
us to the same fate.
"The entire decent probobly did (
not occupy u seconds, out
it
seemed like an hour. We saw their i
speed suddenly increase as
they
struck the steep part, and then
heard terrible scream as they all
went over the dge one by one. We
could hear them still screaming
after the last man had disappeared,
"The pioneer party had r.n tne
accldent as well aa we. The slopo
waa so steep that It seemed suicide
for anyone to attempt the descent,
but Perley Payton of Portland took
the risk, and while we held our
breath, got to the edge of the
crevasses. We heard him shout:
" 'Are any of you hurt?' and we
heard someone anxwer, 'Ye we arc,
badly hurt."

Striker's stock, lashed to his wrist,
had gone through his side. The rest
of the party had suffered various
injuries. .
Retctie Work Hard
"Judge Stadter and Merle Man
ley of Portland, both members of
the pioneer party, and experienced
climbers, let themselves). down the
slope at great personal risk and
found a way around the crevasse
which allowed them to approach the
prisoned group from the other side.
There they let themselves down
into the crevasse Itself, and pulled
the injured one back from the soft
snow at the edge of the scam, which
might have given away at any ni
ment and precipitated them to death.
"Dr. Stryker waa terribly hurt,
and it didn't take a doctor to sco
he probably would die. Aa a mat
ter of fact he became unconsciojo
a little Inter, and died in a state
of coma. Some of the others also
seemed to be in pretty bad shape.
Moore was unconscious from shock,
and several of the others looked as
though they might lapse into in
sennibility at any moment."

The builders of the bridge realiz

who labored above the chasm of the
Crooked river were striving to carry
