No experience of Oregon has ever so gripped the hearts of the state’s popu lation as in the case of tbe two lost boys, one of whom, Calvin White, 10» was found Monday by Bill Cochran, local Crag Rat, who with a number of his fellows answered the first call for help Bunday afternoon. The Crag Rats, whose members, P. F. Bucklin, L. M. Baldwin and J«SS Puddy last August found Jackie Strong, have played an Important part in the search for the two lost boys. Among those who have responded to the can from Hood River are: A. L. Anderson, William Cochran, Harold Davis, Kent Shoemaker, Otto, John, Toivo and Bulo Anna la, Bill, Arne and Arvo Hukari, Paul and Hana Hoeripin, Geo. W. Ba ker, Joshua Pierson, Bill Isms, Orris Thompson, George Cooper, Elno An- nala, Mark Weygandt and Bill Jones. Tbe Oregonian reporting the finding of young White said Tuesday morning: Calvin White, 16, the younger of two boys lost on Mount Mood Satur day, was found alive about two miles from Government Camp at 3.30 p. m. Monday. He was conscious but nearly exhausted. Tbe boy was found by Bill Cochran, of Hood River, and a member of the Crag Rata sf that city. Cochran arrived at Government Camp by automobile with tbe Crag Rata under the leadership of Andy Anderson fit 4 o’clock Sunday morning. The party left at 6 o'clock to seek the trail White’s companion« had found Bunday night Paul Hoerieln first picked up tbe trail In Sand canyon at 8 o’clock. But it was lost shortly. Then at 10 o'clock Cochran and John Annals found ths trail once more on tbe Little Zig Zag. To speed np tbe search they separated, going in site directions. Presently looked down iiottom of a He was then gt^ehwas so Cochran, while and saw tbe trail at the canyon on its west side. on the east ■ strep that an followed the track and presently to a place where signa told him young White had stayed over night. Mr. branches were arranged for a bed. Scrutiny of the ground revealed to Cochran that from thia place the boy had started np hill, going straight west, which was toward Government Camp Then first evidence of the lad’s ex haustion wa« disclosed to Cochran, when the trail wrote the fact that ho bad stumbled about a small canyon, crossing It four times In hi« endeavor to fight clear of bis surroundings. Intermittently Cochran had been calling out. He waa nearing tbe place where Calvin was. Calvin heard him, and called out 4n return. Then Coch ran found him. He waa lying beneath a fallen tree. A large rock added to bls shelter. “I have been without sleep for three days and nightsI" These were his first words after he was found. “If I go sleep now, I will sleep for ■ long tlmt White was half dazed and he w numb with the cold, but not frosts» Cochran stripped him of his wet Slothes and covered him with dry ones from his own beck. He gave him some warm water to drink and, knowing that the boy was safe now for the time, he bade him go to sleep while he left him for 15 minutes to summon three men who bad followed him, Wallace and Raymond Caufield, of Oregon City, and Billie Faubion, of Rhododendron. The four made a sled of skis used it to convey young White out of three canyons. Then they obtained a toboggan and carried him a mile fur ther to the main trail to Government camp. In the meantime, Earl Hammond, veteran dog team man of Alaska who has been at Government camp lately tn the Interests of the winter sports, had learned of the discovery and had brought word into Battle Axe inn at Government 01 nip, headquarters of ths searchers. When Hammond told Dr. Calvin 8. White, father of tbe hoy, that Calvin had been found, Dr. White gasped, but he withstood the surprise of the news and was able to receive the hearty congratulations of the some 50 search ers who were at tbe Inn. Immediately Dr. White took charge of that side of the activities deallag with his son’s welfare. He ordered that hot water be sent to Calvin. The aid of 20 men was enlisted, and these went ahead of Hammond's dog team, to break the trail with their snow shoes. Included in the 20 was Dr. A. L. Knowlton, of Reed college, who ad ministered first aid to the boy as soon as he was reached once mnra Than young White, toboggan and all, warm ly wrapped In many furs, was tied to the dog sled and started toward Gov ernment camp, where the group arrived at 930 o’clock. Buch a acene as In a movie might be called melodramatic, but which in reality was of a caliber to Imprint It self in the minds of each that wit-, n eased it, and to instill awe, was that of the team's arrival at the camp. At its entrance several flares bad been touched off, and they offered sufficient light for the searchers standing by the trail to see clearly the approach of the dog team and the men, characters east in almost unreal red by the light of tbe flares. A lusty cheer wee spontaneous from the men, and Calvin rallied suf ficiently to acknowledge their greet ings. But he was not allowed to talk. No need to take Useless chance he was thus far recovered.
