AN exploring party, of which W. D. Pretty
man, who resides back of Portland. was q
member, were exploring a wild section of
country, about fifteen miles this side of the
Cascades, near Multnomah Falls, a few days
ago. The gorges, ravInes and rugged mount
ain sides were covered deeply with snow,
upon the surfac0of which was heavy crust as
smooth as a sea of ice and as cold as the charity
of a millionaire The party was making slow
progress along the backbone of a divide On
the right-hand side was q slope of about 100
feet to an abrupt cliff, beneath which. about
forty feet below. was q chasm filed with inn
mense rocks. Mr.. Prettyman was dressed in
an oilskin coat, which was closely buttoned.
While looking out over the valley beneath,
his feet slipped. and he fell on the right side
of the divide. The Oilskin coat acted like
snow-shoe, and away went Mr.. Prettyman,
spinning down the mountain side like flash.
When wit hin twenty-five feet of the precipice
he grasped q rOsebush, the only tree or shrub
within reach. and as it tore through his hand,
decorating his fingers. he was brought to a
stop nearly on the brink. 1t was moment
of horror, lest the shrub give way and he be
dashed to death on the rocks below. His COM
panions made all haste. and, throwing him a
rope, he managed to crawl back to place of
safety, leaving q track of blood on the snow
as it streamed from his torn and lacerated
hands.-FOTflGnd (CTe.) TGleOrum,
