The Ascent of Mount Baker, Wash
ington Territory.


The Vancouver CoZontSt, September 5.
gives an account OF the ascent of Mount
Baker by party headed by Messrs. Ogivy
and Coleman The party lett Whatcom on
the 8th Of August, travelled up the Lumini
and NoOtsac rivers, by canoe, eighty miles
then twenty miles through "A desperate coun-
try to what may be called the foot of the
mountain. At the snow line, where vegeta-
ton ceases, the Indians camped, allowing
the explorers to reach the summit them
selves, which they did the same dav, and re
turned to camp in the evening The dis
tance travelled which was about SIX miles,
is said to have been most fatiguing, though
not peFii0us as was expected. Being
obliged to return to the camp the same even
ing, the explorers had only about an hour
on the summit; this short period they seem
to have used diligently. The existence of a
volcano is established beyond a doubt, the
crater being about three huadred feet " ide,
and at least six hupdred feet deep, from
which paffs qf suighnraas yapor are being
emitted. The crater les he6Ween two high
peaks of the mountain, sheFe the summit
forms a plateau quite bare and free from
snow which IS = e5iarter of q mile wide and
half mile lang TIE eastern peak, called
after General Sherman, IS theihighest of the
two. The time Epentpns the summit was de-
voted to examining the crater, and planting
the. American Hays, VIII 30 mucn uI the
usual honors as they ere able to give. The
mountain as most persons, no doubt are
aware, is a few miles south Of the boundary
line, the 49tb parallel The most arduous
part of the ascent was at the last pitch,
where the party had toseut 400 steps IN the
ice in order to reach the top. The Indians
would not 20 any higher than the line of
vegetation; bat they received the party on
returning from the summit with marked de-
mOnstrations Of welcome and JOY, evidently
recognizing the dangers and hardships Of
this part Of the trip, and the courage and
skill the explorers had shown in overcoming
them so speedily. No signs OF game were
seen on the mountain, except the huge foot
prints Of bear, which the nafiyes said was
an old grizzly. IL was well our friends did
not come in collision with bis bearship. Mr.
Coleman will return by the Eliza Anderson
from Port Townsend next week, when
doubtless, we shall have additional details
Of the expedition and its scientific results.
Mr Coleman, we believe, has the honor Of
making the first successful ascent of this
mountain, which he and lis party failed TO
accomplish on a former Oeca>ion, by reason
of the Indians accompanying as guides and
packers refusing to proceed further than a
certain distance into the interior Various
authorities have gwen estimates Of the alti-
tude Of Mount Baker some laid it down at
I400O feet high some at 600 feet; while
others again have given II attitude Of H.
600 Feet equal TO some of the highest peaks
on the continent

TANNING SKINs.-To tau any kind of skin
with hair on we know of no more cheap and
simple frocess than to apply to the flesh
side, when fresh and wet, MIXTURE of two
parts Of eaItpeter and one part of alum.
These should be finely pulverized and
sprinkled over every part of the skin;
double in flesh to flesh, roll up and let it
lie a day or two; then with dull knife re
move the meat and fat if any kas been left
After about half dry, commence rubbing
and continue working until dry; the skin
Will be found very nice, white and pliable,
and the hair firmly set There is 10 process
for making leather equal to that Of the regu-
lar bark tanning mode, and al large hides
or skins should be thus treated. Small skins
may be tanned by first packing in wet ashes
to remove the hair, and then kept a few
days in old, soft soap wash thoroughly, and
rub while drying Skins thus tanned are
very tough and pliabIe, and answer good
purpose for aaii-strings, whip lashes. ETC., il
kept dry.
There are several modes of quick tanning
! by use Of wheat bran and acids but for
common uses the above are cheaper and
more simple, and answer as good purpose

THE VIRTUES OF BoRAx-The washer
women of Holland and Belgium so proverb-
tally clean, and who get up their linens so
beautifully white, use refined borax as
washing powder, instead of soda, in the pro-
portion of large handful of borax powder
to about ten gallons of boiling water; they
save in soap nearly half All the large wash
ing establishments adopt the same mode.
For laces, cambrIcs, etc, an extra quantity
Of the the powder is used, and for crinolines
(requiring to be made stiff strong solu
ton is necessary. BOrax being a neutral
salt, does not in the slightest degree injure
the texture of the linen; its effect is tC

should be kept on the toilet table To the

the hair, Is an excellent dentri6ce, and In

Pares a certain class Of professors of reli-

become exceedingly warm and jealous.
They are ready to chide the pastor and ell

But, alas the shawDgs are soon burned out,
and then the heat goes down as it went up
They are never seen in the prayer room, or
more spiritual meetings of the church
again, until there is another excitement. If
such pc ople had not souls of their own to be
saved, they would not be worth taking into
the church. They cucumber it, though

FREAKs OF EARTHQUAKES. Es.-Earthquakes
net only frequently raise great masses of
land out of water, but often raise to much
greater elevation land that is already above
the water line. In 1922, in assingle night
the whole coast line of Chill, for hundred
miles about Valparaiso, with the mighty
chain of the Andes, was boisted at one shock
from two to seven feet above its former
level, leaving the beach below the low-water
mark high and dry In 1919 in an earth
quake in India, in the District Of Clutch,
bordering on the Indus, tract Of country
more than fifty miles long and sixteen
broad, was suddenly raised ten feet above It's
former level And again, in 1888, in the
convulsion which threw up the Monte
Nuovo, the whole coast of Pozzuoi, near
Naples, was raised twenty feet above its
former level, and remains SO permanently
up heaved to this day. There are hundreds
of like instances on record, and no doubt
when we. come to getfull scientific accounts
of the late conyulsion, it viii be found that
parts of the coast OF South America have
been raised above their former level

SUSPENSION OF THE CoLoRED ORGAN.

The suspension of the New Orleans Tri-
bune, the organ Of the colored radicals in
Louisiana, is signal and shameful proof of
the heartless selfshness and INSCRIPTIONS ra-
pacity of the faction of white radicals who
have been engineering reconstruction. The
suspended paper was the ablest advocate of
negro suffrage in the South. Owned and con-
Quoted by colored men, the only journal thus
owned and conducted in the United States,
there was no other radical sheet anywhere
which it did not surpass in dignity and cour-
tesy and compared in this respect with the
New York paper of the same name, it was as
an angel of light by the side of the grimiest
imp of internal darkness.
But the Tribune was simply the organ of
negro suffrage as a matter of principle
negro suffrage as an element of universal
suffrage, and not as one of the expedients of
a system of party plumber, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and despotism. 1t did not insist, therefore,
on Acknowledgement of whites as an indispen-
sable concomitant of negro-suffrage. 1t be-
lieved it possible for the whites and the col
ored people of the South to be friends, and
to confide in each other to their mutual ad-
vantage. For this it grievoqsly offended the
carpet-baggers and the radical junta at Wash
ington whom they represented. For this it
was cut off from various fountains Of pecuni-
airy aid which have prodigally flowed, under
act Of Congress and otherwise, to the organs
of carpet-baggery. For this it has had to die.
Let the colored people reflect on its fate,
which is typical of the doom which carpet-bag
radicalism has in reserve for its colored adhe-
rents the moment it can no longer use them
as servile dupes and tools.
