sight, 2:15 p. N. ''Alameda" dropped
anchor at quarantine, $3.50 p. m.
" Alameda" locked. 1885 p. m. Mon
golia dropped anchor at quarantine.
1t will be noticed that during the
time we had the rough sea (cloppy J
that that was the time when the Mon.
golia gained on the Alameda and pass
ed her. During the fine weather the
Alameda pulled up on the ''Mongolia -
and got a good lead which she kept
all through the last two days during
the quite severe northerly gale. For
fairness both ships may be called ff-
teen ''knotters; and it was in the
short choppy sea that the Mongolia
on account of her length and heavy
tonnage ploughed through and got
ahead of the Alameda In the long
rolling sea the Alameda made good
and rode the waves like bird. Some
idea of the seas we had the last two
days may be gotten from the fact that
on every fourth or fifth wave the pro-
peller of our ship came completely ont
of the water; and even with that
against us we made a good fourteen
knots
In closing let me say a good word for
the Gerry Boat Alameda" and the
good times one may havewhen he chooses
to travel upon her. Although the Ala
media is not as long as some of her
sister Pacific liners; on her one will
find most genial commander, a SPLEEN
did set of officers who know their bust
ness; and service and cuisine of the
best. On Monday evening we had a
splendid boncon dinner equal to any
served in the Islands. which is an
original custom originated by Captain
Dowdell wherein he shows all of his
passengers a farewell courtesy before
leaving his ship.
The Alameda is equipped with wire
less and the daily news of the world
is issued in a thirty-six page pamphlet
entitled "The Aerogram. One may
at any time at a comparatively small
cost send ten word message to any
part of the world; and also Just as
easily receive one. It was too bad that
the Mongolia was not equipped with
wireless, for then we could have ex-
changed compliments on the way up.
Wireless" Phelps, the operator on
the Alameda, is a splendid looking fell
low, most accommodating and one who
understands his business well. 1t was
only on the trip before the last that
he broke the world s record for wire
less communication between ships

TEMPLES OF ICE IN THE ARcr1cs

Amid the bleak, icy deserts of
Greenland the survivors of the recent
Inflated Erickson expedition diseov-
cred sight of majesty that solaced
them for months of darkness, tedium
and suffering. They found a crystal
palace of superhuman architecture
vaster than a dozen cathedrals and
Egyptian temples, resplendent with
jewels and endless decorations of ice.
Created by nature in a forbidding
wilderness, it frightened the eyes of
the explorers and awed them with I'M
imaginable magnifcence. The dreams
of poets and the fancies of epic bards
were surpassed by this vision of colos-
sal loneliness, which the painter, Ach.
ton Friis, a member of the expedition,
endeayored to carry away for the bene-
fit of the jewellers in civilization, says
the New York Tribune.
More than mile in length, the
lofty nave of this artistic temple of
ice was pierced at intervals with win
dows through which the CHANGING sun,
rays sparkled on columns and cubes
and immense clusters of stalactites like
pendant Jewels An iridesceht glow, as
if from opals and diamonds, suffused
the lighter spaces and shaded into the
blush twilight which reigned in solemn
transepts. The painter despaired of
comprehending even the elusive colors
that emanated from every surface and
were infinitely toned by combination
and reflection.
Through the center of the ice palace
flowed a stream of water, whose oc'
casional ripple and splashing fall broke
the majestic silence. The human voice
reverberated weirdly against the mas
sive walls and the arched roof. a
tone Of mystery or of giant power was
repeated by invisible spirits of the
North. There were echoes like chimes
of bells, matching the fairy decorations
of the nave. A huge dissonance caused
by the cracking of a distant foe rumb
led through the cavern as if it were the
beginning of a prelude on an organ ap
propriate for an Arctic temple. What
strains of might and of brooding soft
ness would be required in such music
In habited ATTITUDES the architecture
of frozen water is regarded as pleas
ing fantasy, something which last few
short months and disappears. Fal
North it is possible that ice palaces
and temples should endure without
change longer than human structures
of stone. The carcasses of prehistoric
monsters have remained inviolate IN
Arctic tombs for thousands Of years
while granite pyramids have worn
away and Babylonian civilization.

when he talked with the S. S. Mariposa
2200 miles away. On the last trip he
was in communication with the U. s.
A. T. Sheridan 1900 miles; and talked
with Cape Blanco, Oregon, 2200 miles
indistinetly. On this trip he talked
with Kahuku Station, Honolulu, Mon
day morning giving the position of the
two ships. Had the pleasure of spend
ing couple of hours, with Phelps early
Monday morning, during which time he
attempted to explain the mysteries of
aerial telegraphy; but it seemed to be
a pretty deep subject and two months
would more likely suffice before one
could comprehend the subject. 1t was
very weird clasping the receiver over
the ears and hearing the U. S. A. T.
Sheridan, talking with Cape Blanco,
Oregon, and saying that she (Sheridan)
would arrive in San Francisco, We'd

similar experience for many years to
come.
1t was magnificent sight stand ng
upon the deck of the Alameda during
the day time and watching the Mon
golia speeding along at fifteen knot
rate with the smoke pouring out of
her tunnels every minute of the time.
Also during the moonlight evenings It
was a fine sight to watch the big
liner steaming along all Illuminated
How many engagements were made and
how many We're broken by the younger
couples was not made public before we
reached San Francisco. Through the
kindness Of DR.. Currie We passed quar-
antine inspection at sea.
Captain Dowdell followed the Great
Circle Route while with the exception
of one day Captain Morton steered a
course of about fifteen miles to the
southwark. Possibly in five years
more Captain Morton may try to beat

On Sunday Evening concert was
held in the Social Hall after which we
all joined in singing old familiar hymns
during the balance of the evening 1t
was to those hymns that the "old
salts" aboard attributed the heavy
northerly gales which we passed
through during the last two days. In
other words the singing of hymns is
liable at any time to blow up a gale,
which happened to be in this case very
fortunate for our ship and equally un-
fortunate for the Mongolia. The fol-
lowing is a COPY of the program:

Corvallis Wins

The Corvallis-Siletz base ball
game, played on the Toledo diam
ond Sunday, while a good game,
did not come up to expectation
The players did not ginger up MS
they should. Where ordinarily the
game would have been played in
one hour, the game Sunday lasted
two hours. A number of errors
We're made on both sides which ac-
counts for the big score, which was
10 to 7 in favor of Corvallis. Cor
wallis was handicapped by not hav-
ing any rooters. A large crowd was
in attendance from Toledo and the
neighboring towns but they all
rooted for Siletz. This was the first
game Siletz has lost this season. K.
Will Simpson of Elk City was UNI
pire and Frank Newton was score
keeper. This was the lineup.

Greater Interest Taken Than
At ANY Previous Convention

The fourth annual convention OF
the Lincoln County Sunday School
Association which was held at Elk
City, Toledo and Newport Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday of last
week, was pronounced the most
successful one ever held in the
county. At all three of the towns
where sessions were held much in
tcrest was manifested and all inter-
ested in the work are very hopeful
OF the future success Of the associa-
ton.
At Elk City Thursday evening
and Friday forenoon there was a
good attendance at both sessions,
and the interest taken by all was
very encouraging to the workers.
At Toledo Friday afternoon and
evening and Saturday morning,
while the attendance was small the
interest of those present was not
lacking. At Newport Saturday
evening the convention was largely
attended. AT all the sessions the
program as printed was carried out
as far as practicable.
Sunday evening Rev. c. A.
Phipps, the Sunday School Man,
preached a most interesting and in
structive sermon at the NJ. E.
church in this city.
