FIND THE STATUETTE
ANOTHER HISTORIC RELIC LO.

The discovery in junk pile at tho

the finding of the missing statuette or les:
OF a sacriticial table which was supposed

gaze OF the public perhaps since the
stormy days Of the civil war when it Was
last seen posed on one of the pillars In
front of the commandments residence
Tie publication OF the article in The
star concerning the finding of tha rars
relics OF antiquity caused much interest
and comment in archaeological circles
and now that the central piece has been
found it is believed the Two pillars and
the statuary pieces VIII be placed on
public exhibition. In this connection an
officer of the navy, who Is much inter.
ested In the matter. said today that one
of the most famous statues of the goddess
Of light or the moon, Diana is known
is the Diana of Versatile" " TO be found
in Hadrians villa. near Tlvoli. He says
he believes the specimens AT the navy
yard should be sent to the Nat .ona Mu-
scum as permanent exhibit.
The piece of statuary found today IN
the dusty upper room Of the navy yard
museum bears the earmarks of great an
tiquity. 1t is a representation. AS told
yesterday. of a cherub or cupid mounted
on a rampant dolphin. the tail of the fish

the cherub and forming sort OF fan be-
hind its head.

of the figure have Iikewjsa been knocked
Off and putty toes supplied the Missing
ones. With these and few minor
marks of time the statuaTy is in an excell-

the sculptors Of those away-back years
were artists of great ability.
The Navy Department officials are said
TO be anxious for a correct history of the
relics, and steps a o already being taken

.RA|LROADERS TO FIGHT ROADS
Organized Effort in State Against
Company Program

Political organizers are working
among railroad employees of this state
to line them up in a solid voting ma
chine and to use them in opposition to
the railroad program, asserts Seat
tie report The movement started IN
Tacoma, but the story of the program
has been spread among trainmen in
most parts of the state by that time
The railroad employees only asked for
two pieces of legislation from the las
session. They secured the passage of
the 16-hour bill. but the senate de-
feated the fellow servant measure.
which the railroad men wanted. AS n
matter of fact. the bill was beaten by
the lumber mill and manufacturing in
terests, but as the railroads are not
paying much attention to other rene
dial legislation the employees have OBJ
tanned in the past the men are being
urged to organize against the lines to
handle their own political fight next
time. and to take revenge for their long
series of defeats.
AS long ago as 1898, the railroads
promised the employees a fellow erv-
ant bill. Five legislative sessions have
passed without passing the bill, and
the employees are sore 1t is declared
in addition that the railroads protect
the life and death of their men. The
reports of Track and Equipment In
spector Perley to the state railroad
commission tend to confirm this claim.
In the pas, the railroad employees
have always voted solidly with roads
and against any plan that threa ened
to injure their employees. The men have
taken the position that their interests
were closely allied with the roads them
selves, and have been a dependable
quantity. The failure of the railroads
to reciprocate in obeying the new pro-
tec+ive statutes is claimed to be re-
sponsible for the new political organi-
Za:ion.

LOOKING FOR NEW PATH TO TOP OF
HIGH MOUNT RAINIER IS LATEST FAD

While the top, Professor Flett is
confident, is more easily negotiate
from the north side, there are several
serious drawbacks to climbing it from
that point of the compass. After leav-
ing Fairfax the only way to reach the
foot of the mountain is over a rough
trail that penetrates a virgin wilder
ness. The approach to the south slope
of the mountain is through the pros
porous Succotash valley region.
The north side also carries far more
snow than the south side, and it is only
when the season is early and the
weather warm that the foothills Of the
north side are sufficiently free from
snow to permit of travel Again, when
one climbs the mountain from the
north side he finds himself on North
peak and has to cross an intervening
glacier half mile in extent, to reach
Peak Success. the tiptop of the noun
tain. Notwithstanding these handi-
caps, the great perils of the Gibraltar
rock route. which appear to be increas-
ing year by year, Professor Flett be-
lieves, will make that route so unpop-
ular that a safer and easier way will
be sought.
Two years ago. when the MaZamas
and the Sierrans climbed the noun
tain. hey spent much time looking for
route other than the Gibraltar way.
Parties We're sent out by both camps
and the MazamaS We're confident they
had found path to the summit from
Indian Henrys hunting grounds. but
after careful investigation a barrier
was encountered making it ilnpracti-
cable. and the Sierrans were likewise
unfortunate. The parties from both
camps finally were forced to reach the
top by way of Gibraltar.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-07-11

Prof. John B. Flett. of the Tacoma
high school, is going to try to blaze out
a new path to the top of Mount RAIN
ier He believes he can find an easier
way to the top than the old path by
way of Gibraltar rock. on the south
side of the mountain The professor
is an enthusiastic mountain climber,
and has assembled the mountain four
or five times, going once TO the top from
the east side and coming down by way
of Gibraltar, states a west side report.
He has also gone around it, and is
probably more familiar with the top
ography of Mount Rainier than any
man living. not excepting the guides
who make their headquarters in sum-
mer in Paradise park.
With the knowledge he has he is
convinced that the easiest way TO
reach the top is from the north side. He
says the slope to the summit on the
north side is much more uniform, and
that the climber can reach the top
with less danger and less fatigue than
by the we'll trodGen path of the south
side. To prove that he is right he has
gone to take up the trail from Fair
fax for the foot of the mountain.
Some time during the present week he
will try for the summit.
In addition to there being an easier
and less dangerous slope on the north
side, Professor Flett says the scenery
is more wild and beautiful than that
of the Para disc park region. The north
side of the mountain has not been so
subjected TO the tearing down processes
of freezing and thaWing as have the
south ana west sides. For this reason
the cliffs. ridges and cleavers are more
clear cut and rugged in outline. and
the foothill peaks are more jagged.
