After getting out last week's issue the Glacier force, took a day off and - the editor, with his family, hied him self to the woods and went into camp above t lie clouds at Uloud Cap inn, where they breathed the invigorating "zone and feasted on the grandeur of the scenery. We lett town at o'clock Friday morning with ourselves and rumnltitr outfit loaded in one of the Mountain Stage Co. 's easy-riding four horse hacks, and with Eph Olinger as driver, reurhe't too Dridge crossing tne East Fork of Hood liver at 11 o'clock. Here lunch whs had, a -hnnge of horses and drivers made, and with Capt. J. H. Ferguson pushing the ribbons the Inn whs reached hy 4:80, after passing over ' one of the best mountain roads on the coast. As the stage emerges from the dense forest into the opening surround ing the Inn, situated on the highest point of a spur of the mountuin, the night is magnificently grand. Tower ing skyward, seemingly but a stone's throw before you. is hoary Hood,-with preat fields of Btiow glistening in the sunlight. . Craggy precipices, a sheer . t housand feet perpendicular, expose to view the fire-worn rocks of this one time volcano. Spread below you lies a natural panorama of the Cascade moun tains from Mt. Hood north to Bt. ,; Helens and Adams 70 miles distant; to the east the rugged Cascades merge into the rolling bills and plains of East ern Oregon and Washington until the land blends into the distant blue of the hky. The farms and grain fields of our Utile valley, scattered in perspective among the green woods, can be traced along the winding canyons of Hood river, as the waters of the melting gla ciers seek the waves of the Columbia. Saturday morning, with Mr. H. D. Langille aa guide, the ascent of the mountain was begun, the climbing purly consisting of four persons besides the guide. Two of the party rode on horseback to the top of Cooper's Spur, a distance of three miles from the Inn, over the roughest though not the steep est part of the trail. From Cooper's Spur the ascent of the mouutain begins iu earnest and the trail leads across the great snow field on the north side of I lie mountain in a direct line to the ! summit. Alpine stocks, spiked with steel, are found to be of great help in climbing for the next 2,000 feet, the angle being about 45 degrees. The guide leads the way and all follow by stepping In the tracks he makes by dig- ' fling the toes of his heavy shoes Into the snow. Looking neither to the right nor the left but watching the trail ahead for descending rocks, the guide quietly ascended and the party us quietly followed. Within 1,200 feet of the top Is an inch rope,fastened near the top to a large boulder. When this ' was reached the climbers, all but the guide, laid aside their alpine stocks and were tied together by the guide. With the aid of the rope the party by slow degrees climbed to within 600 feet of the top, where we sidetracked on a ledge of rocks and ate lunch. After 40 minutes rest the final effort was made aud we gained the summit at 10 min utes before. 2 o'clock p. m.; remained on the top one hour and twenty min utes. Reaching the summit is a feat any one but a mountain climber used to the hard and dangerous work would not care to repeat often. The feeling that you are nearly 12,000 feet from sea level is one of intense awe. The view is grand beyond description. The dense smoke from the burning forests hid the distant siirhts from view, but on an or dinarily clear day the snow peaks of itaiiuer, ei. Helens ana Adams to trie north, and Jefferson, the Three Sisters, Pitt aud Diamond peak to the south loom up in the distance. Not only the snow-capped peaks but the whole topography of the state of Oregon, from the waters of the Pacific to the Blue mountains aud the lava beds of East ern and Southeastern Oregon, and a greater part of Washington come into view.- As the descent Is begun, and you stand at the top and gaze down the precipitous descent the sight is awful to behold. To any one without a rope , a misstep means a fall of thousands of feet. At the bottom lies the broad fields of Ice and snow of Eliot glacier, with its great crevasses gaping hun dreds of feet into the bottomless depths of the earth. . Holding to the rope and by slipping and sliding we soon reached the lower end of the cable where we again took our alpine stocks. Here the guide or dered us to sit down (we were still tied together with the rope) toboggan fash ion, wltn the alpine stocks braced un der nur left arms. Though we had nothing between us and the freezing snow but the seat of our pants, we placed our trust in Providence and the guide aud reached camp in time for supper,; ............ The slide down the mountain side is something great well worth the labor of climbing up. Killing space at trol ley car- rate, and with a thousand foot . precipice seemingly straight ahead of you the coast down is excitingly ex Lilerating. . The ascent of Mt. Hood is frought with not a little danger and plenty of hard work, but it is something seldom accomplished more than once iu a life time and well pays anyone who makes the trip. For a summer outing Cloud Cap Is an ideal camping spot, and those who wish livery accomodations can And no more obliging gentlemen than those of the Mountain Stage company. - NOTES. The camping party consisted of ye editor and family and Mrs. E. E. Sav age. From the bridge up we were ac companied by Mr. H. S. Gullixson, an employee of the O. R. & N. Co.'s office at Portland, and who was in camp at the bridge with the choir brTys of Trin ity church. The party climbing the mountain contained ye editor, Clara Blythe, Ned Blythe. Mr. Gullixson and Doug Langille the guide. Coming home, Miss Dehm, book keeper for Wolfard & Bone of Hood River, return ed with us, after spending a couple of days at the Inn and ascending the mountain to the top of 'Cooper's spur. Cloud Cap Inn is 28 miles distant fiolu the O. R. A N. depot at Hood River. The eleven miles of the road, from the bridge over the East Fork to the Inn is a pretty stiff urade, especial ly the last live miles: but with a fotir- i liorse team, well used to staging, the i distance is covered iu a time equal to j that- when A slx-muled tcnm made plenty of steam For the broadest kind or a gauge. For six miles of this road just west of the bridge, the country is com para t lve- I 1 J 1 L . 111. 1J iy level ami is Known aa me jcjih jicub. Here, within 8 miles of the snowline, lies some of the best apple land In the state. The codl in moth is never seen in this section, and the fruit is of ex cellent oualitv. P. F. Fouts and W. N. Nason have young orchards just coming into bearing that win pay wen lii a tew years. While on the way up a slop was made at Dallas' sprlnsr, at the upper end of the Elk Beds. The water of this spring corned from the melting snow of the mountains and Is ice cold and clear as crystal. Mr. T. C. Dallas has filed on a claim that takes iu this spring and nine years ago built a sub stantial two story log house, but about four years ago his house with all its contents was burned to the ground by a tire started by some miscreant sheep neroer. . , , , As the attractions of Cloud Cap Inn as a summer resort become more wide ly known each year; the travel to the mountain increases, and tins year tne Inn is doing an extensive business. Mrs. Langille, who has charge of the hotel,-has the reputation of setting a first class table.- The Mountain Stage Co. have arrangements with the O. R. AN. Co. and meet tourists at the depot and cary them in their easy-riding stages direct to the Inn. - The secretary of the interior has ap pointed six forest superintendents at $2,000 a year, eight forest supervisors at $5 a day, and fifteen forest rangers at $50 a month. : It is to be hoped they will assume their duties at once and look after the fires now raging in the Cascade reserve. Several fires could be seen from Cloud Cap Inn, last Satur day, in the part of the reserve occupied by sheep. . These fires should be in vestigated and If it is found that they originated from sheep camps, .inten tionally or otherwise, the owners of the camps responsible should forfeit their right to pasture in the reserve, as the rules and regulations decree. There should be some way to prevent the smoky season occurring in Oregon and obscuring from view our snow-capped mountains and other scenery, and we believe that if the officials appointed to look after the forest reserves do their duty they will be able to put an end to the smoke in future. If the sheep men or others who needlessly fire the woods need an object lesson the sooner it is given tne better. The Antelope Herald has changed hands. Mr. M. E. Miller retires as ed itor and is succeeded by Mr. Fred W. Wallace. Letters from the Boys at the Front. Dr. F. C. Brosius writes an interest ing letter to his wife from the scene of action in the Philipplues. The letter was written on board the Australia, off Cavite, Manila bay, June 80th, aud is in part as follows. ; . We have arrlvl I rose at 5 a. m. on account of not being able to sleep from the rolling and pitchinsr of the ship. We had a very stormy time from about noon yesterday until we entered Ma nila bay at 2 p. m. today. - Just after passing the point north of the island at theentiance, by the maps, we sight ed tnree uerman gunboats in a little bay. Our 5 vessels were in single col umn, and one of the Germans, a big three furyiel boat, shot out after us and trailed us into the bay. About 1 o'clock as we were approaching the entrance. a steamer was seen leaving the harbor and we turned our prows toward ner, but after a few minutes we changed back on our course, it being decided that the steamer was a, German dis patch boat. Drobablv iroinir to Honir Kong; if so, you will get the news of our arrival in Saturday's morning pa pers. I presume you have, been very much worried at our continued absence. We have been 88 days out of Frisco mis evening, ana snouid have made it in not over 28, less if we could have come full speed straight across. But all's well that ends well. We anchor ed among the American warships at op. m. and can count all the wrecks of the Spanish fleet in sight. Another Spanish gun boat surrendered yester day. It was driven into the bay by the insurgents. The latter are very agressive, and a suburb of Manila was on fire as we arrived, having been at- tac-Kea and ournt by them today. The city is about 7 miles to the northwest or us and looks very large and pretty. I understand It has over 300,000 inhab itants. There are electric lights shin ing from it tonight, just like San Francisco or Portland would' look. Off to the north of us several miles, is an chored the fleet of foreign war. vessels. I understand there are 8 German, 7 English, 3 French and several others. It looks very much like war. Our dis patch bout leaves tomorrow at 4 o'clock for Hong Kong with our letters. Say, subscribe for Harper's Weekly and save them. We have a correspondent for it on board, Davis by name, who is taking pictures for it. One was taken of our surgical operation,. June 20th. 5 of our hospital corps boys will be let out tomorrow, and 10 added to make up a new corps. Im sorry for the boys let out, but It Is their own fault My boys are the best of the lot. and of course will stay. 2 Portland and 3 Albany boys go. Clarence English, of Co. E, writes from Manila harbor to his mot her, Mrs. Geo. P. Crowell. He tells of the rous ing demonstration given the boys as they left Honolulu harbor, and gives a vivid description of the capture of the Ladrone islands, June 20th. When the Charleston entered the bay she fired oh Fort San de Cruze. After firing about 13 shots she quit, as the fort was apparently unoccupied. The health officer and captain or the fort and another man, a native, who was born on the island but educated at Chicago and a naturalized American citizen, came out in a small boat and asked Capt. Glass to see his health re port, but he told them to come on board. They did not care to do so, but as he insisted they came, and Capt. Glass pumped them about their soldiers finding out that they had 54 Spanish aud 54 native soldiers, and that the governor of the island was back at the capitol city, 4 miles back. The palace is called Aguna (pronounced Aganza). They did not know Capt. Glass had beeu firing at the fort thought it was a salute, and said they were sorry they could not return the salute sooner, but were having some cannon loaded and would fire a salute upon returning to shore. Whereupon Capt. Giats told them he had fired no salute, lut as the United States aud Spaiii wete-at war he had fired on the fort as he came in, and that they were prisoners of war. They threw up tbelr bands in aston ishment and said that they did not know that war bad been declared. They bad faces as long as your arm on them when they beard that. Capt. Glass told them lie would parole them long enough for them to go ashore and tell the governor to come on board at once. You see these islands are not iu the course that ships take and do not get news for six- months sometimes. Capt. Glass paroled them and told them to send out a pilot and a bout with the governor at 4 p. m. : The pi lot came out at 9, : but said the govern or was forbidden to go aboard a foreign man-of-war by the Spanish govern ment, but would make arrangements to see the captain ashore the next morning at 9 a. m. Iu the morning a lieutenant aud 4 marines Went ashore armed to the teeth and met the gov ernor. They gave the governor just 30 minutes to surrender unconditionally. He protested some, but as we were sending 5 boat loads of our boys and marines ashore and 8 more boats were loading at the time, he went In and wrote it in just 29 minutes. It was de livered to tne lieutenant and when the lieutenant got it he told the governor to write an order for all of his soldiers and their arms aud amuhitlon, to be brought to the wharf by 4 p. m. He kicked some, but as he had surrendered unconditionally he had to do it. He was then taken aboard the Charleston and at 4 p. m. the lieutenant went a s ho re again with 40 marines and found the 54 Spanish aud 54 natives lined up with their guns. They had their aru uuition all stacked up on the wharf be hind them. - The lieutenant made them come up one at a time and hand their guns to a sailor, who put them in a small boat; and when they were all disarmed lie took the ammunition and 4 flags and put them into the small boat, and the Bailor took it out in the bay out of their reach. He then told them they were prisoners of war aud took the b words from the officers and turned the native soldiers free. They at once tore the Spanish buttons off their couts and threw them away, and seemed to be delighted to be free from the Spaniards. The lieutenant brought the 64 Spaniards out and put them aud their olticers on the Sydney. They had 64 Mauser rifles and 7500 cartridges for them. The native soldiers were armed with Remington ' rifles aud hud 11,000 cartridges. Our boys did not go ashore. When they saw the governor coming nut they turned around and came back. I did not get ashore on the island at all. It was a beauty, like all these Islands. - We could see the big cocoaiiut trees all around, aud the na tives brought out lots of fruit. We left the old native chief in charge of the island and the American, whom,. I spoke of, as his advisor. The Amer icanized native said there would be no trouble, as ther natives are a very quiet and religious people.' They were lorj ribly treated by the Spanish, and jump ed up and down with delight when they found they were free. , Some could speak a little English The Spanish taxed them 25c a bead for every pig they killed: 75c for a buffalo; for every child born, $6; for .every death $11; $1.60 a year poll lax for every man, woman and child, and 25c church tax a month. Maltie Dukes, a member of the hos pital corps of the Oregon regiment, in a letter to his mother gives au interest ing account of soldiering tor Uncle Sam on the other side of the Pacific. . Every day at noon and every night at mld-uigbt since we left Camp Mc Kinley I have been on guard at the hospital or the dyspensary, four hours at a clip; but I'm getting used to it now and don't mind it. I think perhaps it will cure me of lying In bed of a morn ing when I get back to "Oregon, sweet Oregon." I suppose you will be anxious to know something about the climate. The 15 hours that 1 have seen of it is nothing to be dreaded it is but precious little warmer than at Hood River. As nearly as 1 can find out the mail will, leave here about ev ery ten days, but 'of course that is only hearsay. They say a soldier is not sup posed to know anything and the most of them fill the bill. We are anchored about midway of the' harbor, on one side is Cavite, on the other is Manila. Manila' is a city about the size of Frisco, with her electric lights sparkling along the waterfront. -But how insignificant they look when the Olyuipia throws her searcb-ilghis over the city. The cruisers keep their search-lights flying over the harbor all the time to protect themselves from ; torpedo boats You should see the lads ( of Dewey's fleet, they are tanned untiU mey are as brown as bacon. .Dewey came aboard the Australia yesterday and had a confab.with Oen.
