WALKS UP MT. HOOD
FROM HOOD RIVER
Mies Uortiudu UeubHai, au English
woiuhd wlm huu walked over a ood
part ot the esith's surface, arrivsd
at the Mount Hood hotel heie Batar
day, alter having pranced la from
Cloud Cap Inn, apparently aa frenu
a a youiijioolt, aaya the Oregon inn.
Minn llenhani eiijuys the diatiuctiou
of beiu,c the only woman who evei
walked fr m Hood Kiver to the Inn
an J back anfu, aud liouti at the idea
that abe accomplished anything re
markable. The distance from Hood
Kiver r.o the iuu is 28 miles, in the
lual tour of whiuh tbere is a raise of
feet. According to the guests at
tbis skyscraping report who made the
trip iu uu automobile she wag leaa fa
tigued than any ot the party staying
there, and entertained the gueata ou
tbu tvening of her arrival with an in
toi ettiun uiirrntive o( her adventures
on toot iu muuy countiiea.
Shod iu broad aoled shoes aud aim
ed w itb no alpeubtock, Miss lienbam
l-It Hood l.iver Thursday morning at
8 o'olook and reached the Inn at 7 that
evening, a small handbag, all the lug
gage abe oairica with her, having beau
aent up by the auto. Fridty morning
be was ready tor the ascent of tb
mountain, despite the fact that a high
wind waa blowiug and that the guide
accompanied her with reluctance.
For several boura tbey battled with
the wind and ice, but dually were
foiced to turu back wheu ueur the
aummit, owing to the velocity of the
wind, which the guide told her made
it extremely perilous to continue
farther. Descending the mountain,
Miss ben ham walked back to Mount
Hood postoffice, a di'sunoe of 14
miles, where she remained for the
night,aud yesteiday walked into Hood
Kiver, reaching here at 1 o'clock.
When asked about her trip Miss lien
bam said :
"I wns very much disappointed at
not being ublo to reach tlie top ot
Mount Hood. 1 have walked over a
good pait of the world and have
climbed over 200 snow-capped peaks,
and this is my tlrst failure. I think
we could have made it at that if the
guide bad uot iusiscel ou turning
back. I'orhupa he knew best, though.
Tbo wind was territic. Mount Hood
is ditfereut from auy other mountain
I ever attempted to climb. The as
cent ia very abrupt. The view from
it ia magsiUceut. Why do 1 walk?
Because 1 can see the country o
better advantage. 1 have boeu tour
ing tbe world ou foot for several
years. 1 was bnru in London and
first started by tramping through
England. From there 1 went to
Switzerland aud climbed tbe Matter
bom and other snow-capped peaks in
tbe Alps. La or 1 went to Asia,
whoie 1 also climbod iu the Hima
layas. From theie I wnlked over a
good part ct Australia, Mew Zealand,
Tasmania oud other islands iu tbe
South Fucitlo. Your valley reminds
me considerably of the Tasmania)
country ou aocouut of your timber
and apple trees. Instead of pine, oak
and II r there tbey have tbe eucalyp
tus, which tbey are cloaring from the
land aud planting orchards, Tbey;
are already growing many thousands
of burrels of apples theie annually
and are shipping them all over tbe
world, except possibly to America.
Last year 1 spent walking iu Japan
and t his summer 1 have been in liiit
iab Columbia. 1 have diluted all the
snow-capped mountains there aud ail
of tbe others ou tbe coast. From bore
1 am going to Mount Shasta, where I
will make my liual ascent in America.
In two weeks 1 expect to sail from
Ban Fraucisoo (or tbe Hawaiian
islands, where 1 will do some moun
tain climbiug, and from there 1 go to
South America, where I will spend
the winter among the mountains and
seeing the couutry on foot. Aa you
can see 1 no longer care for dross. 1
have an income suttloieut for my
needs and globe trotting has taken
such possession of me that 1 have be
come a homeless tramp."
What Is Host for Indigestion ?
Mr. A. Robinson, of Drumquin, On
tario, has been troubled for years with
Indigestion, and recommends Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets as the
"best medicine I ever used." If trou
bled with indigestion or constipation
give them a trial. They are certain to
prove beneficial. They are easy to take
and pleasant in effect. Price, 25 cents.

Newspapers Are "l'p Against II."
People who thiuk that running a
newspaper, booming the country and
publishing optimistic screeds about
big wheat yields, high pi iced land
and other similar brain productions
ia a pleasant task should disabuse
tbeir minds of this idea.
All during the haivest season tbe
Fast Oregoniau has takeu pride iu pub
lishing tbe boasted wheal, yields ot
this exceedingly diy season and has
taken especial pleasure in saying that
the wheat crop of Umttilla county is
almost normal despite tbe lack of
rain. All of this has pleased land
owners, merchants, business and pro
fessional men, and baa bad a deoided
ly beneficial effect throughout the
county, state aud nation eg it adver
tieed Uuiatillu county as one of the
places where failures are absolutely
unknown.
but imagiuo the surprise which was
brought to this olllce this morning by
soreral well known reservation rent'

RAE TELLS OF TRIP
Oaorge Rae, of Rae & Hatfield, says
toe fruit Irada Journal, returned
Monday of tbis week from an extend
ed business trip through tbe fruit
pioduolng sections of the northwest,
wblcb was made for the purpose of
sizing up tbe fruit outlook and clos
ing up eoutracta for bis firm. He re
ports tbat be bad a very aaooessful
trip and tbat bis Brm will bava laiger
shipments of fruit fiom tbeaa aeotlona
tban aver, aud tbat tbe quality of tbe
apples will be especially fin.
In speaknlg ot tbe outlook; lo the
sections be visited, Mr. Kaa said:
"North Yakima will bava fine crop
of apples, pcacbes aud pears, tbo peai
crop being tbe largest ever pioduoed
in tbat section. Tbia crop begins
moving tbis week, lo tbe Wenatobea
and Lake Cbelau section tbere will be
double tbe apple crop of last year and
tbe apples will ta exceedingly floe.
Rogue rivet bas a good apple crop,
but . the pear crop is very short.
Hood River has a bumper apple crop
ot very flue quality, lo tbe Grande
Roude and John Day country tbere
will be a full crop. Coming down
tbe Payette Valley to Idaho there Is a
very tine Drop of apples aud prunes.
Utah bas a tine crop of apples and
peaobes. In Coloiado, Palisade, Cli'
ton, Fruitdale and Fruits are without
apples, but there will be a few pears.
Fast ot Rifle tbere will be a fine orop
ot apples and peaches, tbe latter being
tbe finest orop ever grown In tbat
section. In tbe Montrose countiy
and the Montezuma valley tbere is a
good orop of tine apples of practically
all varieties. On tbe northern slope
at Paonia and Hotchkies tbere is a
good orop of apples and a fair crop of
peiches. At Delta tbe apple ciop is
light, but tbey will ship about 100
oars against 250 oars shipped from
this point two years ago. Taking the
entire produoiog section of tbe north
west I feel safe in saying tbat the ap
ple orop will be exceptionally large
and colleotively of very floe quality.
Tbe weather baa been exceedingly hot
and tbis bas aided very materially in
causing the peaobes to mature early."
Superstition Kills Indian.
Walgus Strong, tbe second Indian
to de by tbe baud of James Coo-see-1
Pahnot, bade farewell to bis Indian
friends last evening sod passed to the
happy bunting ground, says tbe Yaki
ma Republic He died at Toppenish,
where be bad been taken by friends
some time ago. Medical aid had been
refused, tbe strange superstition of
their kind remaining with tbe Indian
until the laat moment.
Dr. Frauk offered to take care of
Strong some time ago, but tbe In
dians would not permit blni to do so,
preferring to put into use tbeir own
medioiue men and hold tbeir own
ceremonies over tbe dying man.
lne direct oause ot Strong's death
Is nothing more tban blood poison.
When he wns sbot by Coo-see-i In the
latter pait of June, tbe bullet simply
entered bis arm. Had it been remov
ed at tbe time there is no doubt but
tbat be would have recovered.
Coo-see i is in tbe county jail await
ing to be arraigned when the fallteim
ot couit opens. He is a bad Indian
and bas caused more or less trouble
ou tbe reservation for some time, lie
quarreled with Strong last June over
some trivial affair, resulting in bis
shooting Strong in tbe arm and mur
dering bis motber-in law outright.
He also threatened sevoral other In
dians Bud is said to have sbot at sev
eral Iu making bis 'scape to tbe bills
and on to Salem, Oregou. He was
captured at Salem and brought back
here.
