THE CRATER OF RAINIER.
Experiences, of a Night on the Summit o
the Weird Mountain.

Experiences, of Night on the Summit Of
the Weird Mountain.
Throwing off the lifo line, which had
lecome almost an intolerable burden,
scaled the pile of bare rocks and gained
the rim of the crater. The great bowl
within was deeply filed with snow, but
the black circle forming its rim could
tie distinctly traced. Descending the in
ner slope for about 100 feet, found b
place where steam was issuing from q
creyice in the rocks and warmed my
tenumbed fingers. Soon my companions
joined me, and we took refuge in one
of the many caverns that the heat Of
the rocks and Of the escaping steam
had melted in the lower portion Of ths
snow and ice partially filling the crater.
In these weird-oaYerns one may descend
far beyond the light, Of day. The white
vapors drifting silently through the
dimly lighted passages assume grotesque
shapes and suggest to the imaginative
visitor that spirits Of the time when
Pluto's reign was supreme there make
their homes ><.,
BY melting snow in our tin cups owe.
the cracks from which steam was issu.
ing we soon had water enough with
which to prepare tea. In the absence Of
sugar and cream little alcohol from
the supply brought for fuel was added
to each cup and proved a welcome
stimulant. Making ourselves as com.
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances, we passed the night in the cav
ern of ice. There were no lodges broad
enough to lie down on, and we were
forced to stand or crouch against the
hot rocks all night. The floor of our
cavern sloped steeply and led down to
an ugly opening of unknown depth be-
tween the descending roof of ice and
the rocks. To guard against accidents,
the life line was stretched across the
cavern and made fast to crags. This
proved wise precaution, as we were
able during the night to walk up and
down with the rope in our hands and
avoid the stiffness and discomfort that
come from remaining long in one posi-.

Is mighty busy just now, mobilizing
his forces in preparation for next
years fray, when the coveted senate
rial toga will again be ut stake-lt is
curious to observe the unanimity with
which the republican papers seek to
create the impression that an under
standing has been arrived at between
Mr.. Heinze and Senator Clark and
that they. are again to become allies
and dominate the democratic party
Since Mr.. Carter's veiled purpose in
seeking to create such an impression
is quite apparent, it is doubtful
whether he will make very much .po
litical capital by means of this ruse
The incident, however, serves to dem
onstrate that the former senator il
still 1t with the republican machine

the republican state convention next

party can do, is good betting prop
ositlon-with the odds at dollars to

When Governor Toole, at the out

campaign against the big tax dodgers
he set ball to rolling that is gather
ing momentum with it's progress
Last year the railway assessments
were more than doubled. This year
al additional increase of ten per cent
has been added and the prospect is
that eventually the railways will pay
the same proportion of tax d. COM
mon folks. In several counrles about
the state tax abuses are being correct

terests We're the chief sufferers by this
raise. True, Il servile county board
of equalization has arbitrarily cut
down the assessment to approximate

leayen is working and the signs ar,
that each succeeding year the bi.

sumo a more equitable proportion o

TRANS-MISSlsSIppI CONGRESS,

1t is hardly necessary to say that
the entire body of the people west of
the big river will have an interest in
the Trans Mississippi commercial
congress, which will meet in Seattle
on August IS, 1903, and remain IN
session until the 2lst. The twenty
three states and territories west Of
the river have more than a quarter
of the country's population and more
than half Of it's area. At day in
the not remote future they will have
half of its population and half of it's
industrial and commercial operations.
This region is growing with especial
rapidiiy these days.
A wide range of subjects is to be
considered at the coming congress.
These include railroad rates, i'm
provement of harbors aud waterways,
national irrigation, mines and mining,
improvement of roads, preservation
of forests, Legislation for Alaska,
commercial relations of the West with
Central America, South America,
, Asia and the islands of the Pacific,
and large number of other sub.
jects. All these questions are oi
great 1aterest to this region. That
of irrigation will naturally attract
particular attention. A beginning
is being made in this. work, and it is
assumed that 1t will be pushed
energectically and intelligently from
!. this time onward. SIC
OF course, the projected building
otthe Panama canal and the effect
which this will have on commerce by
way Of the Mississippi, will give an
especial interest TO the subject of

will come before the congress-, i, The
