divers SCALE THE
DIZZY CASCADE PEAKS
Many Thrills Accompany Three
Weeks Trip of Bank Man and His
Wife--Returned Sunday

J. A. Oliver, assistant cashier Of
the Pullman State bank, returned
Sunday from a three weeks vacation
trip which took him to the summit of
Mount Rainier and to the dizzy
heights of the Cascade mountains
On the latter trip he was accompan-
led by Mrs. Oliver, who made the
hazardous climbs in manner that
marked her as a mountain climber of
remarkable ability. Mrs. Oliver and
their daughter remained at Kent to
Pullman until the first of next
month.
Leaving Pullman, Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver and daughter went to Kent,
where the mother and daughter re-
manned while Mr.. Oliver and his
brother, Cromwell T. Oliver, of the
latter place, scaled Mt. Rainier. The
ascent and descent were made with
out the services of a guide, a feat
which is rarely attempted by noun
tain climbers. The brothers narrow
ly escaped death when a gigantic
rock slide passed over their heads as
they Rugged the side of the noun
tain, protected by a ledge. Bottom
less crevasses in the glaciers were
crossed on narrow ice bridges and
many other thrills added to the eX-
element of the hazardous trip. On
the descent the brothers lost their
way but finally located trail which
took them to camp.
The Pullman man suffered severe
eye strain on the trip, which was
made without snow glasses, and on
the return rubbed the eye lids with a
face cream which was kept in the
camp. Suddenly the lids closed and
he was unable to see. A doctor was
summoned and he pronounced the
ailment the result of too strong
carbolic acid content in the cream.
For two days Mr.. Oliver was in bed,
unable to open his eyes, but the all
ment was corrected and he suffered
no lasting i'll effects.

GOT JOHN BURROUGHS GOAT
Great Naturalist Admitted That Iron
Wall of Treasury Vault Had Bad
Effect on Him.

1t was while sitting in front Of the
iron wall of the treasury vault at
Washington that John Burroughs,
guardian of the S50,OOO.OOO the vault
contained, wrote his first book, "Wake
Robin In that book 1t has been
thought that he got closer to nature
than in any Of the others. Perhaps
| did he said of it, 81 know I was
closer to it in longing. That iron wall
reacted on me-"
Mr.. Burroughs realized, of course,
the necessity of money to provide the
comforts of existence, and his books
brought him a handsome return. And
this recalls an incident of a fox hunt
in which he and his brother, Eben
joined about dozen years ago. Eben
Burroughs lived at Hobart, In the
Catskills, and on this particular hunt
the honors went to Eben, who shot the
fox. At that time fox skins were
worth about s., and the successful
brother relished telling of his success.

friends he was halted by this from

later joined the Mountaineers club
of Seattle on a two-weeks trip into
the Cascade mountains. The party
81 strong, took special cars to Leav-
enworth, then travelled by auto truck
40 miles into the mountains. A four
mile hike from this point took them
to Phelps creek and hike of IL
miles more up Buck creek took them
to Buck creek pass in the Cascades,
with an altitude of $3.50 feet. Here
permanent camp was made, with a
pack train of 81 horses and four
packers to take the baggage of the
big party on side trips. Each men,
Der of the party was allowed but 30
pounds of baggage, including bed
ding. Cooks and bakers were pro-
vided to prepare meals for the party.
On Thursday afternoon 81 of the
parry, including Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver,
packed their beds and provisions and
left for a three days trip to Glacier
peak, at an altitude of 10,400 feet.
Every member of the party made the
trip in good condition and the three
days jaunt was one Of the most en-
joyable side trips of the journey. The
party returned to the permanent
camp Sunday and on Monday the
camp was moved to Subtle pass Mr..
and Mrs Oliver then became men,
bers of a party of 22 who left that
pass and hiked over Cloudy pass,
past Lyman lake, and down Railroad
creek 23 miles to Lucerne, on Lake
Chelan, a pack train carrying the
baggage. At Lucerne Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver caught a fast boat for the head
of the lake and returned the entire
length of the lake, 54 miles, to Che
Ian. Thence they proceeded to We
natchee and back to Kent The en-
tire trip consumed three weeks and
every day was crowded full of ex-
element and thrills.
The party which made the trip in
to the Cascades included notables
from many eastern cities, and feat
ures were the evening entertainments
with members of the party furnish
ing the program. On Sundays relig-
ious meetings were held. Mr.. Oliver
secured many interesting photo

car is under 500 miles-which is about
ne-twentieth of the life Of tire
operated under ordinary conditions
This difference in tire service is due
directly to a difference in heat de-
yeloped.
Heat exerts a detcriorating effect on
vulcanized rubber in proportion to the
intensity and length of time the rub
Der is exposed to it, The source of
heat that does most damage is that
produced at high running speed by the
internal friction of the tire carcass
The heat developed by FRACTIONAL con-
tact with the road when travelling rap
idly also has some influence. Tires are
so designed as to resist the effects of
heat produced by ordinary everyday
car operation. But tires cannot long
remain intact when highly heated by
continuous or even intermittent speed
ing, and the results of such practice
are rapid loss of elasticity and fiexibil-
ity, which leads to complete tire car
cass break down. From the standpoint
of tire life, mechanical upkeep and
gasoline economy car speeds should be
kept within prescribed limits.
Among the factors which have an in
innate relation to tire mileage is wheel
alignment. The free rolling motion OF

alignment and the result is excessive
tread wear. When the two oppo.
site wheels are not parallel there is 3
diagonal grind at the point where the
tires come in contact with the road
surface which wears off the rubber al
most as fast as if in contact with an
emery wheel.
Front wheels may be out of align.
ment due to cross rod, axle or steering
knuckle becoming bent by contact with
curb or some other obstruction. OF
the cross rod or knuckle may be i'm
properly adjusted. Also the tire alone
or the tire and rim may be improperl,
mounted on the wheel.
Checking Up Alignment
Because Of the tendency of front
wheels to spread during driving cal
manufacturers set the wheels at 9
toe-in of from three-eichths to one-hal!
inch, ana when thus adjusted thu
wheels are properly aligned The
measurements showing these differ
ences should be made between the
felloes of the two front wheels al

wheels should not be confused with

out is to exercise intelligence and Sc
lect the proper size tube and flap for
the casing, keeping the rim in good
condition and using care in the assem-
bly, and mounting of these units.
What Makes Blowout
Ordinary blowouts that affect both
casing and tube are the result of a
weakening in the fabric of the tire
carcass. All tires blow out in time if
used long enough, but such natural
textures come late in tire life It is
the blowout resulting from tire abuse
that is costly and that must be avoided
If the tire is to render it's full service.
The most fragrant tire abuses, re-
sulGing in premature blowouts in cas-
ings., are: Overload, under-inf1ation,
driving in car tracks and ruts, neg
lect'sd cuts and improper use of anti
skid devices. A brief detailed discus
sion of each of these major abuses
follows:
All tires have load limit. Con-
slant slight or occasional heavy over
loads shorten tire life To determine
accurately the load carried on vehicle
tire, weigh separately the front and
rear wheels, nd divide each weight by
two FOR the tire load. To this can be
auueu weight nEureS corresponding to
the average front or rear passenger
load. The maximum actual tire load
should not exceed the maximum load
carrying capacity advertised by re-
sponsible tire manufacturers.
Proper imitation is as important as
proper loads. Tires are not built to
take the place of steel springs or of
shock absorbers. Under-inhation re-
suits in an unnatural hexing of the
layers of fabric, which causes sepera-
ton and early destruction of the tire
carcass. If easier riding is desired
oversize tires may be used, and such
tires, in addition to furnishing extra
resiliency, give more traction on rear
wheels and supply greater mileage.
However, OVERSEEING tires requires a
reimbursement of the speedometcr;
otherwise the recorded distance will be
less than that actually travelled.
Do not change imitation pressures
with changes in atm spheric tempe ra-
ture, since more damage results from
endeavoring to compensate for an in
crease in the tire temperature than is
caused by the increase in temperature
itself. Avoid running on a fiat tire.
Such practice ruins the tube and breaks
the casing at the bead or sidewall.
If you collect automobile racing sta
tistics you will find that the average

ment saves tire wear. 1t is q factor that
should not be neglected.
Rough pavements and crossings
tempt the motorist to drive on street
car tracks. While it is admittedly
true that the occasional use of car
tracks where road conditions are al
most impossible is justified, it i:-b lso
true that the strain on certain parts
of the tire due to continuous running
on car tracks will not only quickly
wear a depression in the tread rubber
al around the tire, but the sharp bend
ing action and overload on the fabric
directly under this depression will
produce eventually an inside fabric
break. Running on car tracks is ar
expensive habit and should be INDUCED
in only in extreme necessity.
barefoot boy appreciates the need
Of quick attention to his surface cuts
and bruises which, given temporary
protection. are self-healing Tire tread
cuts are also self-healinc if promptly
treated with heal-a-cut~ material. II
not thus treated the elasticity of the
rubber allows the cut to expand under
load compression with every turn OF
the wheel. Dirt, glass, sand anc
pebbles wear and tear away the rub
Der until the cut has reached the first
layer of tire fabric where the foreign
material creeps along and piles up be
tween the tread rubber and carcass

Cuts Can Be Avoided
Most cuts are avoidable and the re
suit of tire contact with sharp edges
of railway tracks and crossings, with
worn horseshoes, broken glass. wheels
spinning on wet pavements and in muc
holes, and by skidding the tire by sud
den brake application.
The remedy is to examine the tires
at regular intervals. with the object OF
removing all penetrating objects, such
as nails and tacks to wash out the
holes and cuts and close them by
properly prepared healing preparations
Investment in tires does not end with
the original purchase. To the first
payment should be added a relatively
much smaller but important care in.

The use of chains or other anti-skid
devices is advisable under certain con-
ditions. While we'll designed non

exercised, generally sufficient insur-
ance against slipping on wet pave
