10, 600 feet, for Camp Mazama, In Para
disc valley below. Two hours later, or
precisely twenty -four hours after Mo-
Cluro fell. this party was lost In the same
place.
The trail Is very deceptive, and the
climbers, benumbed with cold, started
across Cowlitz Glacier in IA straight line
for the camp fires two miles below. In
stead they should have crossed the
Inoraine of Cowlitz Glacier. turned to the
right, and resumed the trail to the valley.
OVER A PRECIPICE.
Before they knew what had happened
George Rogers and III. A. Ainslie of Port
land. Ore. Y. NJ. &. A. members, had
fallen over forty fee. into crevass. As
they had become separated from tho
party, no one heard them fall. Both
were rendered insensible.
Some time later Ainslie came to con-
sciousness and pulled himself over the
ICY walls TO tho surface. HIS hands were
torn; blood was flowing from severe
wound on his head and freazing TO his
clothes. In this condition no crawled
and walked to camp Mazama, arriving at
] a. m.
Rogers was nearly stiff with cold and
unconscious when rescued. A party ex-
tricated him six hours after his fall. Ho

IN hour.

rescuer one after the other Rogers was
carried 10 camp. Whether be will recover
IL uncertain, but the physicians in the
party think he has "a chance.
This year the face of Mount Rainier
from Gibraltar Rock to the summit. "a
distance of mile is one immense sheet
OF ice, and for the entire distance climbers
have had TO cut steps with Alpine axes
and use life lines.
Returning climbers report taat on
Tuesday afternoon William Pierce of
Pendleton. Ore, who intended TO accom-
pany the party of six, WAS prostrat9d and
rendered temporarily insane by gazing
down the precipices where, for thousands
OF feet, there are sheer perpendicular
walls. His party left him behind in
q safe place and picked him up on the re-
turn trip.
NERVES ALMOST SHATTERED
His wild look on returning 20 camp
showed plainly that his nervous system
had been almost shattered. After hcing
restored TO fairly normal condition bo
declared he would never again attempt
mountain climbing.
: On Monday afternoon Prof. Brown of
Leland Stanford University started out
contrary To the advice of friends, to mako
the ascent alone He was lest during
storm, aud he fell down exhausted. A
party OF six rescuers started up and found
him more dead than alive.
The ascent this year Is more difficult
chan usual. because of the great quantity
Of slippery ice. With proper precautions
there need be no accidents.
The accidents TO Nc Ciure, Rogers and
Ainslie vert due solely to their attempts
TO descend In the night instead of remain
ing mt Camp Muir until morning. Nearly
all cIim bers have suffered from the severe
cold weather on the mountain.

the Mazamas has occurred on the Ice slopes
of Mount Rainier. Prof. Edgar Mcclure,
who was killed by falling 300 feet on
Tuesday last was one OF the most proml-
nent mountainoers of the Pacific slope ana
a leader among the Mazamas. Ho had an
article In tho ilrst number of the society's
magazine, last year, on the elevation OF
Mount Adams, which he had determined
at II, i0l feet.
The society of mountain climbers called
the Mazamas. was organized on the sun
nit of Mount Hood on July ~, 1894 The
qualification for mem bership Is tho ascent
OF an acceptable snow capped peak.
There Is great deal OF enthusiasm for
mountain climbing on the Pacific coast,
and 193 persons climbed ii, 22o feet 10
the TOP OF Mount Hood TO attend their
first meeting and enroll their names as
mombers.
In 1895 several parties from the MaZa-
mas were organized To ascend Mounts
Baker, Rainier. Adams, Hood, and Jeffer-
son. 1hoy made the ascents stimuli
taneously, and the purpose was to estaD-
lish communication. by heliotropiny
between all thess peaks. The ascents
wore successful hut the other part OF tho
program was defeated by tho dense smoke
from burning forests.
AT CRATER LAKE.
Last year the Mazamas excursion was
20 Crater Lake, in Oregon, the most won
derful lake and the only crater lake in
the United States. Tho excursion was
great success, and the latest NUMBER OF
the Mazamas contains full accounts of
the lake, both popular and scientific. from
various contributors.
This year the Mazamas attacked Mount
Rainier in force.

AN IMMENSE MASS.

Those who love large figures will be
interested To know that the mass Of
Rainier Is supposed to be about 200 cubic
miles Its glacial system Is on the same
magnificent scale, and Is believed To DO

ing from one mountain summit.
This glacial system cannot be compared
with that Of Mont Blanc, Switzerland.
which Is not one-quarter the size OF that
of Mount Rainier. The Mer de Glace OF
Mont Blanc does not cover one-half the
area OF the carbon glacier, which is only
ono of the medium sized ice rivers tnat
flow down the SLOPES Of Mount Rainier.
1t Is a curious fact that, although these

to Pugot Sound, forming four rivers-the

The cracks between the wcathcrboarding were
covered with oiled paper inside and out. A
little stove furnished enough heat to keep the
men warm while dressing. Tho shanty was
shabby enough in itself. but 1t was pretty hard
on n championship team to ask members and
substitutes, twenty.odd men. to bathe under
two little showers.
OF course this new structure will not be built
by the university authorities. They have had
abundant troubles of their own. The Athletic
Association would not be able to attempt such
q step for at least ten years to come. The club
house will be built by subscription alone, and.
rs over half of the required sum-. $600,O00, has
been raised. here Is but little doubt that Frank
