MAZAMAS ARRIVE
HERE MONDAY

The Mazamas. who have for their
purpose the exploration and exploita-
tion Of Northwestern scenery and es-
pecially its mountain scenery, viii ar
rive here Monday on the local arriving
from Portland at 10 o'clock, when they
will Immediately transfer their bag
gage TO the special train awaiting
them on the Mt. Hood line which VIII
take them to Parkdale. Francis W.
Benehel, a member of the organiza-
tion, was here yesterday making maj
arrangements for the outing. II seems
to be generally enormously UNDERSTOOD
that the Mazamas is an exclusive clup
and that only Mszamas will participate
in the camping outing in the Upper
Valley at the base of Mount HOOD,
said Mr.. Beneliel. However, we VIII
be clad to have as many Hood River
people as care TO, to join Us. II they
make the trip and join US we would
ask them to obey as nearly as possiple
the instructions below:
Don't forget that this will be a
camping trip. Reduce your outht 10
essentials. Two heavy double blank.
cts. with a good piece of waterproof
canvas or a light rubber blanket. 6Xo
feet, is the best bed. For a trililng
cost You can have the canvas maze
into a sleeping bag, with greatly IN
creased comfort. An eiderdown sleep
ing bag is light and warm, for those
who intend to climb the mountain Is
desirable.
"Then come toilet articles In limited
quantity, and in unbreakable packages
when possible; soap and towels ana q
change Of underclothing Of ordinary
winter weight. For women one good
trampinR suit Of denim. corduroy OF
similar material, will suffice; and the
camp suit should be of durable cloth.
The skirts should be short and worn
with boomers.
Footwear is an all-important ques-
tion. One pair at least. of stout, well
fitting, easy wearing shoes. with ex-
ira heavy soles, containing hobnalls,
are essential for tramping. The
tramping shoes should be thoroughly
broken before the outing. Legglns
are recommended unless high boots are
worn, and women will find them de
sirable for wearing about camp with
light shoes. Several pairs OF moder-
ately heavy and serviceable socks or
stockings should be taken. Experience
has proven that if two pairs of medium
weight socks are worn (or a single
pair of extra heavy weight the feet
will not suffer so much from chaiing
and blistering. Women will find PAIR
of stockings and pair of boys socks
to serve the same purpose, and this
plan is highly recommended by women
who have done a great deal Of tramp
ing in the mountains.
"Have your tramping shoes fitted
with hobnails before leaving the city,
and besides increasing their durability
they add immensely to the ease, com
fort and safety OF walking over noun
tain trails. For wonen's shoes three
eighths, cone-headed Hungarian nails
are heavy enough. Shoe calks should
be taken.
"Broad-brimmed hats, very fine mesh
mosquito head net (the Filson net pre-
ferred) and serviceable gauntlet gloves
are necessities.
The estimated cost of the trip, ex
elusive of railroad fare, will be about
S25. All Hood River people, who de-
sire to make the trip should immedia-
tely send in their names for registra-
tion with Dorsey b. Smith, manager
of the Travel Bureau at the Chamber
of Commerce building, 60 Fifth street,
Portland, Ore.
On the evening of July l9, to cele-
brate the anniversary of the organiza-
tion of the club. the peak Of. Mount
Hood will be illuminated with red
fire, several hundred pouds of which is
being brought to camp for that pur-
nose.
