The Mazamas win Climb Mt. Adams.


The Mazamas will climb Mt Adams
this year. 1t is expected that the at
tendance will be larger than ever. Pres
ident Mark O'Niel believes that there
will be few scientific visitors from afar
this summer. Washington will join
Oregon to the extent OF considerable
numbers for the ascent OF Mount Adams,
and it is not too much to say that prob
ably 200 will I've camped at Trout Lake
the middle of July, owing to the cheap
ness OF the trip. 1t has been figured out
that through the advantage OF organiza-
ton and reduced expenses. the trip to
Mount Adams can be made for $l5 per
head covering 10 days stay and includ-
ing everything but the sleeping arrange
ments.
The amount includes, Of course, the
transportation of each person and not8o
exceed so pounds of luggage, to the lake.
The start will be made from Portland July
ath at O'Clock am, and second di-
vision of visitors will be dispatched on
Tuesday morning, the 18th, all reaching
the permanent camp on Wednesday.
Coupon club tickets will be sold cover
ing all meals and rides etc.
Following is part OF the itinerary that
has been prepared:
AS the committee in charge find it
impracticable to maintain commits
sary department, complete arrangements
for meals have pean perfected with all
inns and transportation companies along
the route.
"We are, therefore, pleased to an
nounce to all Mazamas and their friends
that the cost of the 10 days outing from
Portland to Trout Lake and return, in
Guiding fare, meals, transportation of lug
gage--not to exceed so pounds-will be
only SIS, on the payment of which cou-
pom tickets will be given emitting the
holder thereof to all advantages above
indicated. Parties will be served at Gu
Iers during the stay. The second sec
tion of the Mazamas will leave on the
morning of the 10th from the same place
at the same time white Collar Line
boats foot of Alder street,, and make
the same stops and camps as the first

day morning, July 10Th.
"On Thursday, July 18th, arrange
ments will be made preparatory to max
ing the climb, and on the following day,
Friday, July 18th, the march to the
mountain, the establishment of a tenn
porary camp and other details at tim
Der line.
