Miss Fay Fuller Reaches the Summit
of Mount Adams.


A heavy gale was blowing on the
morning set for the ascent ol
Mount Adams from the last camp,
and it was considered hazardous to
make the attempt. Yet. notwith-
standing the difficulties, fifty per-
sons started at 4:30 M, and "a Of
them reached the summit, not all
togather, but scattering along from
IL a. m. to 6p. m. Miss Fay Full
er, city editor of the Pendleton
Tribune, was taken sick during the
ascent, but courageously refused
to give up, and through her re-
markable grit and endurance gain
ed the summit. Though the last
one to reach the goal, her painful
experience was in some measure
compensated for by finding box
left there 81 years ago. It con-
teined cards upon which were writ
ten the names of th emembers Of
two parties which had reached the
summit. one in 1854 and the other
in 1875. She copied the names
and carefully marked the spot and
protected the box with rocks.
The descent was made by different
persons in from one hour to an
hour and half. Only two other
ladies besides Miss Fuller reached
the top. No answer to their
signals could be obtained from
Mount Tacoma or from Mount st.
Helena, and only one message pass
ed between them and Mount Hood,
the smoke from the valley prevent
ing futher communication.

suits, unless perhaps the lighter

to this cause.

IT costs 10 cents to transport a
bushel of wheat from Milton to
Portland, while the farmer at pre-
sent prices of that product receives
nothing for his labor after his ex-
penses are paid. Would it not be
fair, asks the Eagle for the railroad
company who does a very little and
receives an enormous profit, to di-
vide this with the farmer who does
agreat deal and receives nothing?
This matter Of profits should be
more equally divided and the only
way to do it is by direct legislation.

liquor traffic is the burning question of

cussing for weeks a proposition to estab-
lish a state monopoly ia alcohol and to
exempt from the present taxes such
drinks as wine, beer and cider. The
Chamber Of Deputies has accepted in
spite of the opposition of the government
and of the distillers, bill embodying the
second proposition. 1t seemed to be in
fair way of passing, owing to the min
trys objection, when, after the closing
jebate, to the surprise of everybody. a
bill abOlishing taxes on drinks contain

passed by large majority. The meas

balance the budget until the organization

local paper from Key West, Fla, says
that it is reported in Havana that Mar
tinez Campos has been stricken with vel
low fever while leading 1000 soldiers into
Puerto Principe to stay the advance of
Gomez toward Havana. At the battle
of Grand Pedro the insurgents are said
also to have captured Campos son, who is
reported to be dying of yellow fever.
Havana, July 6.-Gen. Arderius, COM
m3nder of the troops here, reviewed four
companies of the battalion Of America
this morning and the troops subsequently
left for the province Of Santa Clara.
It is stated on good authority that there
is absolutely no foundation for the story
published in the United States that Capt
Gen. Martinez de Campos would advise
the Spanish government to abandon the
task of attempting to put down the in
surrection and leave the island of Cuba
to it's fate. On the contrary, the cap
tain-general is disposed to lose the last
man and spend the last cent procurab BILE
in suppressing the revolt. News has been
received here from Manzanillo which
again confirms the report of tho death of
Amador Guerra in the fight recently in
the neighborhood of Manzanillo. His
body has been fully identified
A Ramburo, the insurgent leader, who
recently surrendered to the Spanish au-
thorities at Manzanillo, escaped and
raised another band of insurgents IN the

his followers, and in the fight which en-
sued Ramburo was killed and three of
his band were wounded. On the side of
the troops one officer was wounded.

PULLMAN PUTS UP WAGES.
About 1000 Of His Employees Get
an Advance of 10
Per Cent.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 6.-The Pullman Pal
ace Car company has advanced the wages
of tie employees at the Pullman shops 10
per cent. the advance affecting about
1000 people. No formal announcement
has been made by the company of its
action as the advance has been gradual,
taking effect in various departments at
different times during the last two weeks.
Vice-President Wickes, in discussing
the matter today. said that the company
had assured its men last year, when the
great strike was ordered, that wages
would go up as soon as business condi-
tons would permit and that the present
increase in salaries was simply the full
fllment of the promise made them. The
advance, coming as it does just a year
since the railroads of the country were
tied up in the effort to compel such an
increase, is regarded by labor leaders as
strange, but the officials of the company
deny that any significance attaches to the
advance

ABSOLVED FROM FASTING.
Papal Decree Retains the Obliga-
ton Regarding Friday,
However.

Washington, d. c., July S-From
authoritative sources it is learned
that a recent papal decree empowers
American bishops to absolve poor people
and the working classes from the usual
obligations of fasting. A statement TO
this effect was made in New York by
Father Ducey, based on private informa-
ton, but it was denied at the residence
Of Archbishop Corrigan, so that the ques-
ton was left in doubt. 1t appears how
ever, that such a decree was made al
though it differs in some respects from
chat stated by Father Ducey
1t does not directly do away with the
rules SO long observed, but empowers the
bishops to modify the regulations when
they consider it desira bic. In so doing,
the bishops may suspend the obligation
as to individuals or to all those within
a diocese coming under the conditions of
suspension, which applies only to those
doing hard manual or mental work
The obligation of Friday fasting is re-
tanned, however. as to all classes, both in
Lent and at other times. The bishops
are empowered to suspend the fasting for
people doing hard manual or mental work
on holy days of obligation such as are
observed by the church calendar and dur
ing the days of Lent. except Friday and
certain other designated days.
