The total outstanding Indebtedness of What
com county is $4,000 in scrip, bearing interest
at the rate Of 10 per cent. per annum- There is
considerable surprise that the commissioners
do not take steps 20 fund this amount at a lower
rate OF interest. The cost of the new court
house is included in the above estimate. County
Assessor Kline expects the present assessment
for the county to foot up total valuation of
nearly s2o000,o00. The 100 miles of railroad and

The com mi6sioners and other citizens interested
in the construction OF the road have received
advice from several good attorneys that the
commissioners have no authority to expend
such large amount of money for road purposes
without vote OF the electors authorizing the
same.

ASCENT OF MT. ADAMS.
Terrible Storm on the Fourth Compels
Illuminating Party to Turn Rack

\
BLOCK HOUSE, July 27.--The Mt Adams nIu-
mination party. consisting of J. A. Ruxk, Mnt
Giibreath, Harrison Thompson, Frank Thomp-
son, John Keel and c. Z. Rusk left weternis
Springs, on the Klickitat river, July l for the
purpose OF illuminating Mt. Adams on the
night OF the Fourth. They arrived at the foot Of
the mountain on the 81, and that evening
camped about mile from the snow lire. AT
6;2o the next morning they began the ascent
with Illuminating material, bedding. provis-
Ions, etc., packed on their backs For the nrst
Two or three hours nothing of unusual interest
occurred, although the climbing was quite toll
some. The scenery was not nearly so grand as
IT would have been had the day been perfectly
clear. All OF Northwestern Oregon and South
western Washington was covered with rough
white clouds. From the elevation at which the
party viewed them they seemed TO hang very
low, Jet the giants Hood and St. Helens were
the only visible points that lowered above them.
About 10 O'Clock the longest, steepest slope on
the route was reached. The fearful hardships
OF the day here begun. The travelling became
extremely hard, and, worst Of all, q cold west
wind started up with great force, increasing in
fury ~ they proceeded. They pushed on, how
ever, frequently seeking shelter from the wind
behind the big rocks. To add gloom TO
the prospect, clouds began to fly around
With frightful velocity. Soon after this two
OF the party, unable to endure any more,
up and started down, and only two were lett.
With part OF the packs previously carried by
their companions, in addition to their own,
they climbed on for a long distance, until they
arrived at place where the storm ragged with
such vehemence that 1t would have been mad
ness to persist
Scarcely able to stand against the hurricane,
in quarter of minute they were white with
frost, and it was hardly possible to see fifty
yards through the rushing clouds. The storm
through which they had passed at any previous
time during the day dwindled almost 10 insig-
nifcance compared to this. Knowing that 1t
would be sure death TO attempt to remain that
night on the mountain, they turned after
long discussion, aud hurried down. Camp was
reached about O'Clock, and the other members
OF the party were found thawing out around
blazing fire.
On the morning of the 5th q snowstorm was
raging on the mountain and at the camp. 1t
was then known beyond the shadow of doubt
that man would have persisted during that
fearful night II he had been on the frozen peak.
After breakfast the party hurried down the
slopes towards q warmer climate but did not
get out of the snowEtorm until they had gone
several miles,
During the ascent on the 4th quite q number
OF birds and insects were found, dead in the
snow. among which were two humming-birds
and q duck.
Red snow was seen in a considerable quantity
short distance from the camp.

PACIFIC COAST LUMBER TRADE.
Amount and Values OF Lumber Shipped
Exnarts IartialIx I,,cII,dod


SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The Pacific Coast
Wood and Iron, in presenting the statistics of
the lumber export trade during the first six
months of the present year, says:
The export trade good, notwithstanding
the numerous drawbacks t. has undergone al
several of the most important points of ship
ment As compared with the exports of the
corresponding period last year we nearly
5000 600 feet short, while we nearly II 000000
feet in excess of the exports of the same time
in 1859. The unsettled state of affairs in South
America has stopped shipments to that quarter
TO certain extent, and the reaction of the
building boom in Australia has caused more
caution to be used on the part of exporters in
that trade. Taking these drawbacks into con-
siderstioa, we have no cause for complaint re-
garding the figures.
The paper states that exports during the first
six months of 1891 aggregated "a, 900 feet, as
against 90 10000 feet in the same period in $780,
and $3.50, 600 feet in the first six months of 1889
The aggregate values were sS72,0o for the first
