SILVERTON, Aug. 25.-This town
was all excitement this forenoon over
the mountain climbing ability of Neil
| McQuig. The climb took place during
the forenoon and was from the steps
OF the Grand hotel to the top of Ken
dali mountain and return to the hotel.
Men were stationed along the line to
see that he received no assistance and
also on top of the mountain to see
that he made the summit. It is safe to
say that three-fourths of the town
watched the man with glasses and
naked eyes as he wended his way up
the hill and back again. and when he
touched the steps OF the hotel It was
found McQuig has lost by forty-five
seconds. 1t taking him one hour thirty
minutes and forty-five seconds to make
the round trip. While the wager of
$3.50 was lost his hackers and Nc
Quig more than made good for the
reason that so sanguine were many
that he could not make the trip in
the specified time that over $1,000
was wagered that he could not make
1t In l hour and 35 minutes. Some
bets were made all the way from /
hour and 81 minutes to l hour and c5
minutes. The hackers of McQuig won
all such bets.
When McQuig touched the steps of
the ground on the return trip he was
about all in and staggered as he en-.
tered the hotel 1t was wonderful
achievement.
