Program OF
The MaZamaS

PORTLAND, March 2t.--Conform'
ing with the wishes OF the majority,
the ninth annual outing Of the Mazam
as will be made to Mount Adams,
Washington. The committee Of ar
rangements has prepared program
as follows
Leaving Portland for the White Sal
mon river on the morning Of July 10,
1902, the following day at Trout Lake,
where permanent quarters will be es
tabllshed during the stay, which will
be from July 18th TO 26th.
Trout Lake, aside from being re.
markably beautiful and enchanting, is
one of the most attractive and ideal
camp grounds in the Cascade range, II
is a spot of dreamy splendor, say the
committee, where the atmosphere is
erdolent with perfume Of flowers. The
clearest water the eamelest trout, the
most colossal sculpturlng in nature
may be seen from It's shores, while in
the immediate vicinity are many lava
and ice caves, distinctive and unique
in themselves, and 20 which side trips
will be made during the encampment.
It was the original intention OF the
Mazamas to join the Sierra Club, of
San Francisco, in its outing TO Mount
Shasta and other points in June, and
the committee regrets that conditions
will not permit the Mazamas to do so
in body.

The case involved the payment Of
taxes in this count BY the railway
company during the past three
years. The company refused to pay

sought to eDjoin the county from

Ip deciding the case Judge McGee
held that the county s Indebtedness
was incurred under the old law, that
the right Of the county TO levy taxes
under that law could not be changed
and that the tax legislation OF 1899
was void and did not affect the posi-,
