ON SNOW SHOES
CLUB MAKES FOURTH ANNUAL TRIP
Interesting Account of Ihe Journey
Written by One or the
Members.
iiy R. L. UlUao.
Iu a snowstorm Friday mornlnir, Jan-
tary 1H. the Snow Shoe cluh took tbe
train at Union uepot tor Hood River
on Its foiiitb hiiuuul rlmt to Uloua
Cap lou, Mouut Hood.

Tbe view along tbe Lanka ot tbe Uo-
utubia trom tbe train was excepti in-
ily attiautive. Ihe palinados glitter
ed in beuvy coats ol icy mail, a wbite
uiantlol stretobHd acioss tbe river
from batik to bank, broken as we ap
proached tbe CitHOHiJes by da k rnsb
log waters, while Ur'dal V'oll, Latour-
He and MultiiotiiHli falls fell in dia
mond sheets thiotigb icy curtains.
Hood Kiver wus reached about 11
'clock and we were soon wrestling
tb 14 oourne meal, comtiniug all
the essential routines oi bieakiast,
luuo J and dinner. Our overgeuerou
host evidently thought we could, like
tbe camels of the Habura, take i-everal
days' provisions iu person. The built
ot tbe four borse sleighs caused us to
hasten from the dining room, omit
ting one course, muob to the horror
our superstitious members, wbo
bjected to leavlug on Fiidtiy after a
13-oourse diuuer, with a party tbat
would soon, witb the guides, numbt r

toie, etatiuif tbe thermometer regis

tional uneasiness, which wore away as
we and tbe afternoon advanced.
No sleiubiug cuulil be more deligbl-
ful than tbat tiip of 18 miles over
suow just deep enough to puuk well
uder tbe ruuners, ami tbe sueuer)
attractive eveu when smumei dust,
was it its best iu winter garb.
Just beyond tbe Mount Hood post-
otHce we drew up about 5 o'clock al
tbe homes of two of our guides, Bert
Sandman and Bill Edick, where we
peut tbe night. Improved methods
of fastening suowsboes and skiis were
discussed, to be cussed luter on, as
expeiienoe exposod their weak points,
ibe following morning we ounaiea
nto sleigbs Hgaiu about 8 o cloak
1th fresh determination aud fresh
horses, both neoessary for the grade
and suow iuoieased as we approached
our goal.
Fire miles tbrougu forests ol tall or
and redolent piue, by clearings,
through aveuuea of young fir, weight
ed and rent lots under their snow man
tles, between sturdy chiukapiuarctusi

tbe sleighs finally made tbe grade ol
Cbiua bill and drew up near tbe.bome
of our guide. Mark Weygancir, where
tbe snow plough bad eudtid its usetui
nesa tbe day preceding.
Leaving overoouts lu tbe sleighs, we
plunged over waist deep into the
suow, put on our snowsnoes ana were
soon ploddiug ludiiiu tile up graae.
At 11 o'clock, aiiotit hull au notir al
ter leaving th sleigbs, we gathered in
tbe open abed at tAk liens, to read
just our shoe thongs and then push
on. ibe snow was iu excellent oonai
tion for snowsboeing and tbe trail
breakers bud a comparatively easy
time. The ruad was S'.iewn in places
witb fallen trees, showing tbe fury of
some recent storm, tbe trunks being
buried sutlioieutly In tbe suow to al
low passage tor our web feet.
As we approaoitea tne gnosi ioresi

was keenly felt, causing tbe loose
suow to tilrt lu circles arouna us,
About 1 o'clock we reached our debt!
nation and weie soou enjoying the
cheery blaze of large logs in tbe b'ige
re mace la tbe main room oi tne lun.
ProUtiLg by tbe experience of former
years, we entered the inn tnrougo tne
door of the east room, wheiethe wind
bad swept the suow away. Ibe wlud
ood became a gale aud, like an evil
spirit, bowled aud shook tbe inn In
its furv. but little did we care inside
The door ouoe opened t ok tbe united
effort ot three men to close it end tbe
thermometer against the wiudow pane
inside registered 20 degrees above ze
ro, but tbe room itself was very com
foi table.
Ibe UreplHoe, however, was the
most attractive place aud dinner was
prepared by 13 oooks, each claiming
special superiority over tbe others,
Suow had worked and covered the
fireplace, making an odd contrast witb
the fire below. After dinner like In
diana we stretohed out belore the tire
and drifted oil in slumber. About
midnight our medical advisor bad an
Imaginary coutllct with three bold
burglars and claims to have vanquish
ed all three, but his yells for assist
ance banished slumber and so stimu
lated tbe irrepressible freshman that
be gave vent to bis feelings In bis In
imitable Chinese dmlect and It was
some time bet ore ii coma De sup
pressed.
Hunday morning we gitiuerea can
teens together and trailed down tbe
canyon half a mile through tbe tim
ber to tbe spring near tbe trapper's
oabiu. A thread of smoke from tbe
chimney emerging through tbe snow
and tbe freshly killed body ot a pine
martin iu tbe partly cleared space in
front of tbe cabin door relieved our
minds of tbe fear tbat something
might have happened to the trspper.
Sunday atfernoou aud evening tbe
wind again assumed control, but blew
Itself out during tbe nigbt. Monday
morniDg we awakened just as rosy
fingered dawn was putting a peach
blow coloring on tbe cold white peak,
towering above the cabin, plainly via
ible from our resting place. lousing
blankets aside we rushed out in tbe
crisp morning ait and from tbe plat
form ou tbe roof stood stunned and
awed by tbe panarama around us.
In front rose tbe peer of any inoun
tain In America, bathed in a golden
light, ocnopied in azure blue; to tbe
right across dim valleys, showing for
est ereen in gloom except for snow
relief, the horizon showed bands of
blue, indigo and violet, with varying
strata ot er shitting shades of
crimson above; to th left Lookout
mountain was painly straggling to
block the upward progress of the ris
ing sun. and a w turned northward.
Adams, Ualnier aud Helena, clear out

The Apple Show.
Hood River did Us full duty in tbe
uiHtter of making exhibits of applet
at tbe fruit show bold by tbe Oiegon
State Horticultural society in oonuac
lion witb its teceut annual meeting.
Ibis, of itself, made a fruit sbow s1
great success. Whenever or wbeievei
Hood Klver now make an exhibition
of apples it doe It woik so well that
it is bard to determloe tbat one of lt
shows is better than anobei, tut the
display of apples from tbat place wm
certainly one of tbe best if not the
very best it bas made away from
borne. Unfortunately other portion
of tbe state did not do so well
Southern Oregon showed some flue
poles and pears, but did not realize
the impnrtauoe of Ibe sbow until too
late to make snob a display as it is
oapable of. Mr. Asa Holaday, ol
Soappoose, wbo bas beeu a faithful
exhibitor for a dozeu or more years,
aud long before any awards were
made on exhibits, was on hand as
usual and captured a cup on Home

Moulton, of MoMiniivillt, took tbe
oud on Lady applet. Hood River took
all tbe rest, and the ouly thing tbe
grower there feel bad about is ttat
there were not more apples from oth
er parts of the state to compete with.
Competition was keen, however,
among tbe Hood River grower them
selves The judges found it most
difficult in many cases to determine
which box in a given competition wag
tbe best, so eveu were tbey in merits.

by Electi lelty.
St. Paul, Jan. 29. "The long talked
of olan to ocerate trains through tne
Cascade tunnel by mean of electrici
ty Is alieady close to realization."
Such is tbe statement ot President
James J. Hill of tbe Great Norrtbern
when talking over tbe problems tbat
aie ooutronting tbe raihoada and tbe
Urea Nortbetn in particular.
Mr. Hill announces tbat tbe road
already bai in oouise ot construction
two large electric locomotive to pull
the trains through tbe Cascade tun
nel. There is a difference of 265 feet
In grade between the two ends of the
bore, which is ,13,000 feet lung, and
theie have been long deiafys and loss,
es of life through tbe accumulation
of smoke and aases from locomotives.
The use cf electric locomotives wl!)
enable trains to follow one another
closely, something that has, uever
been possible with oral burners.
But Mr. Hill sbvs that an Improve
meut of this soil la merely local and
does not bear particularly on the
broader problem of equipping the
roads of tbe country to handle tbe
traffic. "I have known tbat the pres
ent situation was coming for tbe last
five veais: ves. and longer than tbat
time, but I did not expect tbat It
would develop so rapidly," was bis
comment. "There .bas been no prob
lem of greater importance since tbe
Civil war. The progress and prosper
ity of the country are delayed and re
striated to handle the immense in
crease In tbe volume cf traffic. It
will require patience, time and labor,
It must have Driver consideration.
"1 wish tbe government nad tne
railroads about thirty days. Tbe re is
not a government department which
bas vet been operated without fraud.
lbere will tbe government get tbe

mg to ue .rly 40, so iJroge claim.
Daly tbeu went to a store, where be
fitted himself out witb new ololbea,
nd for payment tendered a 940 ot.eck
ind t' iu gold. Tbe merchant gave
him a oheoa tor I'll 40 for his charge.
With thia check the fellow went to a
jewelry store, where be bought a

in cash
In the mean time Broge sobered up
auHJclently to discover .his toss, and
immediately made complaint to im
marshal, wbo soon bad Daly ondei ar

a check Icr 180 in favor of Mike
Broge, a money order for 115, tb

ing the name of the merchant on tbe

Tuesday morning Mike liroge swor
out a complaint of robbery against
Daly, befoie Judge Henderson, with
Deputy District Attorney Hartwlg ap

Not since tbe great freeze of 1888
bas tbe oyster industry of the upper
Sound received such a blow aa tbe
destruction to oyster beds wrought
by the bard freezes cf tbe first three
nights ot this week when tbe extreme
low tides left the beds exposed for
bouis. Except upon a few bed pro
tected ty dikes, th loss bas been so
nearly complete as to cut off farther
supplies of tbe famous Olympla oys
ter except for a veiy limited quantity
for the next three years. At least It
will take tbat long, the oysterroen
say, to get tbekbeds back in the con
dition tbey were before tbe freeze.
Tbe financial loss to oysterroen ' on
this part of tbe Sound is estimated at
anywhere from $150,000 to 1250.000,
or more. The loss comes as a bard
blow to many of tbe oysterroen, wbo
had most of their fortunes Invested
in tbe bed and wbo, iu view of tbo
growng value and yield ot the beds,
bad oousideied themselves "well
fixed" for life. As tbe reports of

great industry grow in mago-tude. :
