PAflE THREE
OF BONG LOST IN WOODS
Tlio dliiry, written jn -letter form, of
E. W. Hiirlmm ofLthls city, a trapper
who was lost fop lelRlit days la the
jYiuniuiii uiuiiuiitiiiH, mm ueen reeeiveu
by his son Clyde, 130 Almond street.
The elder Harliam Wednesday under
went an operation in the Klnmath
Kails hospital, for the amputation of
; tho extremities of both his feet, as a
9 result of frostbite, sustained during
his harrowing experience. A tele
gram received .Thursday night said ho
was resting easily.
A man named Fred Gamble was Bar-
ham's trapping partner, and the diary
tells of the arrival of the two at lluck
Lake, November 22, and the capture
on December 2 of two mink. "A light
snow fell Dec. 1, the diary says.
The adventure that nearly cost his
life Btarted December 7th and is re
lated as follows: "Wo trailed the bear
two days going towards Fort Klamath,
Within 20 miles of fort. Saw a sign.
t Then to get home. I says let's take
our back trail. Fred says 'No.' Then
we went to bucking snow. We got
that night to Lake 'O Woods an awful
pretty place. . When we start
ed on the trip we figured it would
take until dark to find the bear, but
we figured wrong. The first night
we stayed by a big pine tree. Had a
lino place. Second day we trailed the
Iipiii- nil iiflv tilt wa hnri tn Imnt ti
camping place. For dinner we had
' the front legs of a rabbit, for supper
wo, tightened up our belts, and for
breakfast we had the hind legs. We
started out again and about ten we
came to where the bear crossed the
road, and wjit down in a deep rocky
canyon."
-At this point the two decided tp give
up tho hear hunt, and the diary con
tinues: "I says less go back our trail, we
have one broke. Fred says no, 1
could never stand the trip. There's
where I done wrong by giving up. We
took the road over and found a sign
F. Klamath 20 miles, we knew if the
road went toward . F. K. we had to ,
take the other end of the road. Then
w-e began to buck the snow. We trav
eled all day, and, at night we found a
spotted line pointing towards the
Lake 'o The Woods. We followed the
blazed trees till we came to a house,
it was all nailed up and padlocked, but
we pried the door open and found
enough for supper and breakfast, and
then wo struck down the lake. We
(went to n few places, till we found
one we could get im We-fixed vp a
40 pound pock apiece, and then we
started tor Buck Lake."
At this phase of the journey to their
home camp the trouble started.
The diary goes on:
"We bucked snow all flay and made
about two miles. At night we came
to a dead fir which we set afire, but
it was not a very good place as the
snow and bark kept falling on us while
we were trying to sleep. The next
morning we started out, and I cut off
to hit the road where the lay of the
land showed we would hit It. I got to
the road and fired oft the revolver
which kicked up and hit me in the
eye, hard enough to black It. I had
the strap, over the trigger, and I came
awful near being shot."
The uext date In tho diary is Janu-'
ary 6th, and tho writing of Barhainl
underwent a change from exhaustion
and exposure.- .
"Will 'write you a few lines. It
seems awful blue to me today. It
iooks line we were iusi, i. ib uiawms.
The sun is shining dim through the
cloud, lly foot is resting easy. Fred
'fs gone artcr a rauuu. rruu uumeu
nll our grub, so he could have his own
way to eat the Lord will
pay him. Good-bye for this time."
"Jan. 6. It's is snowing. I was wet.
My waist is near my backbone. We
went back to my pack and made some
oatmeal and tea, and Fred went after
his pack. I followed the road till I
gave out with cramps In my legs. 1
hung up my pack and started to build
a firo when here comes Fred. I says
-1618 US DU1IU a Iiru, ul iia ono iiu,
will go on. He hadn't left but a few
minutes when I seen he had taken
the wrong road, then after him I
struck. 1 caught up with him, and
then we started to go back to my pack
and wd lost the trail, and nfter wan
dering around for hours we started to
build a fire, but nfter we got to the
road I hung up my pack I was so tired,
and I had lost tho axe, and there be
ing no place to build a fire I struck
out to break a trail, but the snow had
drifted and I soon got off the trail.
n about two hours F come and we
(wandered around In the woods till
about dark, F in one direction and me
in the other. We wandered around
four hours to find a tree to build a
firo, and finally located each other by
firing a shot. Fred stayed by the tree
but I struck out nnd roamed around
till four a. m. Wo were lost. It was a
very disagreeable night. We struck out
in tho morning, but never found our
trail. Wo thought it was to right, and
it was to the left. We waded snow all
clay, and thought we knew where we
was. but the snow had changed every
thing. We went to n big pine tree
and started b fire, and had to break
pine limbs to keep It going as we hail
lost our ax. We stayed until the moon
rose, and I said it is getting daylight,
and we struck out, and it was very
cold, and my feet were cold, and It did
not tako them very ;ong to freeze so
we built another fire, and stayed
there until daylight. Then we struck
out following a hollow till we came to
a road that was going to Klamath
Falls, hut did not see tho sign to
Clover Creek, and went on and the
next day we found we had boon going
in a circle. We camped all night and
that night when I took off my shoes I
found my feet were froze, and the
next morning I could not get my shoos
on, bo I put on a pair of rubber boot
tops wo had along, and started back
towards the Klamath F. sign and
found the Clover Creek sign, and
from there we figured out the direc
tion home. We got home that evening
tired nnd hungry, and I am flat on my
back."
"Jan. 8. I wrote nothing yesterday
as 1 was discouraged.
"Jan. 9. Feel some better. Have
more courage to fight the battle of
lifo I will have to fight and keep on
fighting with all my strength. Fred
went after his pack.
"Jan. 10. I was discouraged by the
look of my feet. I found that proud
flesh is showing up. Fred got back 1
told lilni I needed help. 1 showed him
my feet. He snid ho would be back to
morrow, today is the" (sentence is
unfinished). . ' .
The rest of the diary is devoted to
telling of the rescue by Fred Ogle of
tho Pine Beetle survey force, and a
rescue party headed by Sheriff I-ow
of Klamath Falls.

Ovtt 17 Million Jan UlcJ Yearly
The men's gathering at the Pres
by terinn church Wednesday evening
was a most worth-while assembly
from both an inspirational and also
an educational standpoint.
Sixty-five men sat down to the sup
per of chicken pie. Thirty of those
were from out of town and were the
gilests' of . the mon of the -Medford
church. Two came from Grants Pass,
four from Rogue River, three from
Central Point, five from Jacksonville,
eight from Phoenix nnd seven, from,
Ashland, in nddition to a visitor from
New York and one from . Wisconsin
besides the two speakers, Dr.'Charles
F. Weir of Chicago, national chairman
and Dr. Henry M. Campbell, Pacific
Coast representative of the Men's
Work Committee of the General As
sembly. There were thirty men pres
ent from the Medford church.
Following the bandViet so graciously
served by the ladles of the Woman's
Association, there was a program of
Inspiration and Instruction. Dr. Wm.
P. Holt acted as chairman of the meet
ing and Introduced first Dr. Campbell
who spoke from the thought of "The
Why of Men's Work" In the churches.
From his own experience and that of
multitudes of other pastors and
churches, he pointed .out the man
power of the church once given a
vision, and inspiring motive could do
almost anything that they wanted to
do in The Lord's work thru the
church. Dr. Campbell comes fresh
from a large men's work most success
fully organized and carried out in his
own church, in San Jose, California,
which he has recently resigned to un
der take this new work.
Dr. Weir, who has for seven years
been at tho head of the Men's work
committee of the denomination, spoke
on "The How of Men's Work" outlin
ing the various lines of activity wben
men can successfully organize and
carry out in any churchy
Dr. Weir laid great stress on the
emphasis which Robert Unbson is giv
ing out continuously today through
his bulletins and books, (Roger Bab
son altho a devout Christian man him
self BpealtB largely a a' business ex
pert and statistician), that the great
est thing men can do today Is to go
to church and worship. . What men
need most in these trying times is a
vital, personal acquaintance with
God. It will be tho best possible mo
tive power for efficient and helpful
community service and for honesty
and Justice In all their business rela
tions which the country so sadly needs
today.
Ho pointed out how men organized,
should conduct their own Bible study
classes foster Bible study among
young men and boys, hold public meet
ings religious in character for Inspira
tion and education, work for men out
side of the churches', develop and di
rect the work among growing boys,
thru boy scouts, boy's clubs, etc., back
up nnd push the finances of the
church, study and support the'organ
ized benevolences of the churches, do
a vital spiritual life among Its men.
and lead the men of the churches out
Into wise and helpful lines of com
munity service.
The men were so much Interested
that an Invitation was extended to the
speakers to come again and at the re
quest of a number of tho tnen In the
local church, steps will be taken soon
looking toward an organization of the
men of the Presbyterian church here.
