It is about twelve thousand feet high, +and is visible over a large part of the State. Above an +elevation of five thousand feet it is covered with perpetual +snow. It stands sixty miles east of Portland, a +monument of beauty, and the pride of Oregon. In the +spring of 1885 the idea originated of illuminating it +with red fire. An effort was made to carry this into +effect on the following 4th of July, but failed for the +reason that, instead of staying with it over night, a +system of clock work and acids was devised, which was +perfectly willing to do the work assigned, but an ugly +avalanche came along at four o'clock in the afternoon, +broke the bottles of acid and set the whole thing +ablaze. In 1887, the Celebration Committee of Portland, +decided to make the trial, and placed the matter +in charge of the writer, who was accompanied by +N. W. Durham, correspondent of the <i>Oregonian</i>, O. +C. Yocum, photographer, Dr. J. M. Keene, J. M. +Breck, Jr., C. H. Gove and Chas. F. Adams. More +agreeable, determined and competent associates I never +met. Breck was a cripple, finding it necessary at all +times to walk with a crutch, yet, a better mountain +climber is hard to find.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_4" id="page_4"></a>[Pg 4]</span></p> + +<p>Everything being placed in readiness, we left Portland +at 6 o'clock <span class="smcap">a.m.</span>, Friday July 1st, and reached +Government Camp at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of +the second. From this point, the mountain rises to +the north in all its beauty and grandeur, with timber +line apparently within a few rods, instead of four +miles, the actual distance. Here the wagons were left, +and two horses were packed with blankets and provisions, +and our journey was resumed as soon as possible. +It was necessary to cross two small streams, over both +of which the bridges had fallen, so we were compelled +to carry logs and fill in until it was possible to get the +horses over. About nine o'clock, finding that we +could not reach timber line, it was decided to camp on +some friendly rocks near at hand. Here we found +the trees thickly covered with a long, dry moss, which +afforded excitement for the evening, for, no sooner +had the inner man's longings been supplied, than +lighted matches were applied to the moss, which +blazed furiously until it died out in the distance, simply +for the want of material. The scene, while it lasted, +was indeed brilliant, and accompanied by a roar that +seemed but the echo of thunder. Already exhausted, +after three hours plodding through snow knee deep, +we sank to rest and slept soundly until four o'clock. +At five we were on our way, somewhat surprised to see +that the snow remained as soft as on the evening before. +In addition to the difficulty of sinking each step nearly +to our knees, each man was loaded with fifty pounds of +blankets, provisions or red fire, while three tugged sav<span class="pagenum">[Pg 5]</span>agely +at a heavily loaded toboggan. At noon we +lunched at timber line. It was hardly a sumptuous +repast, but answered every requirement, there being +canned Boston brown bread and beef tea, mixed with +snow and seasoned with smoke. Not a dainty dish, +to be sure, but "the best the market afforded." After +lunch we dragged our weary way along, among other +difficulties encountering a bitter cold wind, blowing +directly from the summit with fearful velocity. Slower +and slower we moved, until three o'clock, when two +men fell in their tracks utterly exhausted. Here +was a "pretty kettle of fish." Barely seven thousand +feet up, with five thousand feet more above, and +only one day in which to climb. It was finally decided +to make camp on the nearest rocks, abandon all idea +of reaching the summit, then, on the day following, +find the best place possible for the illumination. Two +thousand feet above timber line we camped on rocks, +over which the cold wind swept, penetrating to the +very marrow. Of course it was impossible to have a +fire, and at night it was necessary to pile large stones +on our blankets to keep them from sailing down the +mountain. Hats and a few other things were anchored +in like manner.</p> + +<p>The "Glorious Fourth" was ushered in, clear and +cold, while a patriot in the party, not to be outdone +by Uncle Sam, saluted the rising sun with a deafening +round of fire cracker artillery. At five o'clock we +started on our upward march. Every thing was left +behind except one hundred pounds of red fire, three<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_6" name="page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> +overcoats and a few crackers. At 11:30 <span class="smcap">a.m.</span>, bare +rocks were found to the west of the summit, in what +was considered a good location, and at an altitude of +about ten thousand feet. Here our burdens were cast +at the foot of the cliff, and all hands, except Keene +and myself, returned to Government Camp. By noon +the wind had died down entirely, and the day became +very pleasant. While waiting at this lonely station +for the appointed hour of illumination, a panorama +was spread before us, of a scope and magnificence that +cannot be appropriately described, but must be seen +to be appreciated. Yes, and it remains for those who +love the beautiful and grand sufficiently to scale mountains, +to toil on day after day, patiently waiting for +the time that is sure to come, when the glorious pages +of Nature will be unrolled before them. Then,</p> + +<div class="poem" style="width: 28em;"> +<span class="i0">"It seems by the pain of ascending the height,</span> +<span class="i0">We had conquered a claim to that wonderful sight."</span> +</div> + +<p>The scene embraces millions of acres of land in +Eastern Oregon, extending from the Cascades to the +Blue mountains, a distance of over one hundred and +fifty miles. The entire range of the Cascades lies before +us, showing the foothills of both Eastern and +Western Oregon, and the increase in height toward +the center. For miles upon miles to the south, cross +ranges, running from east to west seem piled one upon +the other, and to their tops is added a covering of snow, +changing the solemn, otherwise unbroken, dark green, +to a variegated picture, not only of grandeur, but +beauty. To the left of the centre stands Jefferson,<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_7" name="page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> +similar to Hood as seen from Portland. Next come +the Three Sisters to the left of Jefferson, while still +further stands Snow Butte. Almost in front of Jefferson +is Washington, while to the right McLaughlin +looms up in southern Oregon, two hundred and fifty +miles distant. Changing the view to western Oregon, +we see Mary's Peak over one hundred miles southwest. +The Willamette valley can be seen through its +entire extent of many miles, while here and there we +catch glimpses of the river flowing on to the lordly Columbia. +Along the western horizon extends the Coast +Range, while in one little spot the mountains break +way and give us a vista of the ocean. In the immediate +foreground lies the base of old Hood, white with +snow for five thousand feet below us. To witness a +scene like this many a man would circle the globe;—and +yet, imagine a sunset upon it. At 5:30 <span class="smcap">p.m.</span> clouds +drifted from the north and hung on the points of +the range a mile below. Slowly the sun sank to rest, +while the clouds hovering over the western horizon +became brighter and brighter, until it seemed that +the very gates of heaven were thrown wide open, and +over a scene of unrivaled grandeur was spread another +of marvelous magnificence. As if Nature was not even +yet satisfied with such dazzling beauty, suddenly the +smoke that had gathered far below us, shutting out +the great Columbia, was drawn aside and the waters +of that river seemed, through the thin smoke remaining, +like a stream of molten gold, visible in an +unbroken line, winding from the mountain to the sea<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_8" name="page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> +a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. Then, too, +as we looked, just beneath the setting sun, the Pacific +ocean came to view, while the sun was setting in the +mouth of the Columbia, reflecting its ruddy glare in +the ocean and river at one and the same time. To +the right could be seen Cape Disappointment, while +to the left Point Adams showed with equal clearness. +So closed the day and the night came on.</p> + +<p>Far above the few clouds that lurked beneath us, +threatening the success of our experiment, the atmosphere +was so perfectly clear that we thought its equal +had never been seen. Promptly with the departing +day the full moon arose in all its beauty, changing +the day's brilliance to a subdued halo of glory. About +seven o'clock the wind blew furiously, almost carrying +us from the rocks to the snow beneath. Although +clad for a land of wintry blasts, it was necessary to +pace back and forth, swinging our arms and jumping +to keep warm. At eight o'clock the wind died down, +and we became comfortable without exercise. Our +spirits were low, however, for it seemed that the entire +country was covered with a thick veil of smoke, and +our labor was to be in vain. Suddenly at 9:30 we saw +a red light in the direction of Portland. It was the +signal for a complete revolution in our feelings. We +danced for joy. Yes, we screamed and halloed until +we were hoarse. Did all sorts of silly things, for +now we <i>knew</i> our fire would be seen. Following the +first light came another, and still others, and in our +mad excitement we took a handful of red fire and +burned it on a rock. "Thereby hangs a tale."<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_9" name="page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span></p> + +<p>The members of our party at Government camp +were gathered around a cheerful fire telling bear +stories and waiting patiently for the appointed time, +when they were startled by a brilliant light from the +mountain, showing through the trees in front of them. +Instantly they scattered, every member forgetting +his companions in a wild scramble for a good view. +In this sudden stampede, one member, who is hard +of hearing, climbed a tree, where he remained until +the others began to assemble. As one of the drivers, +a hardy son of Erin, passed the tree and heard a rustling +in the branches, he glanced up, saw a large, dark +object, took it for a bear and gave the alarm. Instantly +all hands gathered around the tree, every one +armed with a club, which he swung like the arms of +a windmill, at the same time shouting for some one +else to get a gun. The man up a tree, not understanding +why the commotion should extend so long after +the burning of red fire, started to go down, but, was +met with such a lively rain of clubs that he beat a +precipitate retreat. At this point, a gun arrived and +every fellow wanted to shoot the bear. Bruin, at last +comprehending the situation, chimed in with: "You +fellows let up with your durned foolishness, will you."</p> + +<p>Soon after the red fire and rockets at Portland +were noticed, others were seen at Prineville, seventy-five +miles to the southeast, and also at Vancouver, +W. T. These were watched with the most intense +interest, until the time arrived to make our own novel +show. The red fire was placed in a narrow ridge<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_10" name="page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> +about ten feet long, and at right angles with Portland. +Holding my watch before me, promptly at 11:30 we +applied the match with the result as shown by the +following account in the <i>Oregonian</i> of the next day:</p> + +<p>"The celebration closed with the illumination of +Mount Hood, the grandest and most unique event of +the day. Precisely at 11:30, the time appointed, just as +the fireworks display was over, a bright red light shone +away up in the clouds above the eastern horizon, +which was greeted with cheers from the thousands +congregated on the bridge, wharves, roofs, boats on the +river and on the hills back of town, and with vigorous +and long-continued whistling from every steamboat +on the river.</p> + +<p>"The mountain had been plainly visible all day, +but toward evening a curtain of mist and smoke shut +off the view at the base, and as twilight fell, the curtain +rose higher till at last only the very peak could +be seen, and as night came on, even that disappeared +from view. Many gave up all hope of seeing any +sign from the mountain. But many thought that the +obstructions to a view of the summit were very slight, +and if the party had reached the peak, the light from +one hundred pounds of red fire would be able to pierce +through them, and so it proved. It lasted exactly +fifty-eight seconds. This was the most novel and +the highest illumination ever made, and was seen +the farthest and formed a fitting close to the celebration +of 1887."</p> + +<p>Immediately after the illumination we started<span class="pagenum">[Pg 11]</span> +down the mountain, following our previous trail in +the snow. Just after midnight, while lunging through +the snow, we suddenly lost our footing and were no +little astonished to find that we had fallen into a crevasse. +It proved narrow and shallow, however, and +all things considered, we extricated ourselves with remarkable +celerity and passed on down the mountain +side, only to get lost in the timber below, and wander +around until daylight, when we found camp and soon +after were homeward bound.<span class="pagenum">[Pg 12]</span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_12" name="page_12"></a>CRATER LAKE.<br /> +<br /> +ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREAT NATURAL WONDERS.</h2> + + +<p>A Trip to Crater Lake is, to a lover of the grand +and beautiful in nature, an important event, +around which will ever cluster memories of unalloyed +happiness, thoughts of little adventures and +weird experiences that go to make life worth living. +It is situated in the northwest portion of Klamath +county, Oregon, twenty-two miles west of north of +Fort Klamath, and about eighty miles northeast of +Medford, which is the best point to leave the Oregon & +California railroad. The Jacksonville and Fort Klamath +military road passes the lake within three miles, +and the road to the very walls of it is an exceptionally +good one for a mountainous country, while in near +proximity may be found remarkably fine camping +grounds.</p> + +<p>The Indians of Southern Oregon have known +of it for ages, but until recently none have seen it, for +the reason that a tradition, handed down from generation +to generation, described it as the home of +myriads of sea-devils, or, as they were called, Llaos; +and it was considered certain death for any brave +even to look upon it. This superstition still haunts +the Klamaths. While a few of the tribe have visited<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_13" name="page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> +it, they do so with a sort of mysterious dread of the +consequences. It was discovered by a party of twelve +prospectors on June 12th, 1853, among whom were J. +W. Hillman, George Ross, James Louden, Pat McManus, +Isaac Skeeters and a Mr. Dodd. These had +left the main party, and were not looking for gold, but +having run short of provisions, were seeking wherewithal +to stay the gnawing sensations that had seized +upon their stomachs. For a time hunger forsook them, +as they stood in silent amazement upon the cliffs, +and drank in the awe of the scene stretched before +them. After partaking of the inspiration fostered +by such weird grandeur, they decided to call it Mysterious, +or Deep Blue Lake. It was subsequently called +Lake Majesty, and by being constantly referred to +as a crater lake, it gradually assumed that name, which +is within itself so descriptive.</p> + +<p>At times when gazing from the surrounding wall, +the skies and cliffs are seen perfectly mirrored in the +smooth and glassy surface over which the mountain +breeze creates scarce a ripple, and it is with great +difficulty the eye can distinguish the line dividing +the cliffs from their reflected counterfeits. The lake +is almost egg-shaped, ranging northeast by southwest +and is seven miles long by six in width. The water's +surface is six thousand two hundred and fifty-one feet +above sea level, and is completely surrounded by +cliffs, or walls, from one thousand to over two thousand +feet high, which are scantily covered with coniferous +trees. To the southwest is Wizard Island, eight<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_14" name="page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> +hundred and forty-five feet high, circular in shape, +and slightly covered with timber. In the top is a +depression, or crater—the Witches' Cauldron—one +hundred feet deep and four hundred and seventy-five +feet in diameter. This was evidently the last +smoking chimney of a once mighty volcano. The base +of the island is covered with very heavy and hard +rocks, with sharp and unworn edges, over which +scarcely a score of human feet have trod. Farther up +are deep beds of ashes, and light, spongy rocks and +cinders, giving evidence of intense heat. Within the +crater, as without, the surface is entirely covered with +volcanic rocks, but here it forms one of the hottest +places on a clear day in August, it has ever been +my lot to witness. Not a breath of air seems to enter, +and the hot sun pours down upon thousands of rocks +and stones that reflect his rays with an intensity that +seems to multiply beyond conception. Here, however, +we determined to lunch—and did—but one such experience +will last a long time. Directly north of the +island is Llao Rock, a grand old sentinel, standing +boldly out on the west side of the lake and reaching +up over two thousand feet perpendicular. From the +top of it you can drop a stone and it will pass down +and grow smaller and smaller, until your head begins +to swim and you see the stone become a mere speck, +and fade entirely from view; and at last, nearly half a +mile below, it strikes the unruffled surface of the water +and sinks forever from sight in the depth of a bottomless +lake.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_15" name="page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span></p> + +<p>There is probably no point of interest in America +that so completely overcomes the ordinary Indian +with fear as Crater Lake. From time immemorial, +no power has been strong enough to induce him to +approach within sight of it. For a paltry sum he will +engage to guide you thither, but, before you reach the +mountain top, will leave you to proceed alone. To the +savage mind it is clothed with a deep veil of mystery, +and is the abode of all manner of demons and +unshapely monsters. Once inhabited by the Great +Spirit, it has now become the sheol of modern times, +and it is certain death for any proud savage to behold +it. This feeling has, to a certain extent, instilled +itself in the mind of such whites as have made it +their Mecca, until every stray log that floats upon +the water is imagined to possess life, and may possibly +be a monster. Exaggerated accounts of different +points have been given and implicitly believed without +a question or reflection. It has been claimed that the +crater was eight hundred feet deep, while by actual +measurement we found it to be scarcely a hundred. +The island was said to be fifteen hundred feet high, +but an accurate measurement placed it at just eight +hundred and forty-five feet.</p> + +<p>From Allen Davey, Chief of the Klamath tribe, I +gleaned the following in reference to the discovery of +Crater Lake:</p> + +<blockquote><p>A long time ago, long before the white man appeared +in this region to vex and drive the proud native +out, a band of Klamaths, while out hunting, came<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_16" name="page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> +suddenly upon the lake and were startled by its remarkable +walls and awed by its majestic proportions. +With spirits subdued and trembling with fear, they +silently approached and gazed upon its face; something +within told them the Great Spirit dwelt there, +and they dared not remain, but passed silently down +the side of the mountain and camped far away. By +some unaccountable influence, however, one brave was +induced to return. He went up to the very brink of +the precipice and started his camp fire. Here he laid +down to rest; here he slept till morn—slept till the +sun was high in air, then arose and joined his tribe +far down the mountain. At night he came again; +again he slept till morn. Each visit bore a charm that +drew him back again. Each night found him sleeping +above the rocks; each night strange voices arose from +the waters; mysterious noises filled the air. At last, +after a great many moons, he climbed down to the +lake and there he bathed and spent the night. Often +he climbed down in like manner, and frequently +saw wonderful animals, similar in all respects to a +Klamath Indian, except that they seemed to exist +entirely in the water. He suddenly became hardier +and stronger than any Indian of his tribe because +of his many visits to the mysterious waters. Others +then began to seek its influence. Old warriors sent +their sons for strength and courage to meet the +conflicts awaiting them. First, they slept on the +rocks above, then ventured to the water's edge, but +last of all they plunged beneath the flood and the<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_17" name="page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> +coveted strength was theirs. On one occasion, the +brave who first visited the lake, killed a monster, or +fish, and was at once set upon by untold numbers of +excited Llaos (for such they were called), who carried +him to the top of the cliffs, cut his throat with a +stone knife, then tore his body in small pieces, +which were thrown down to the waters far beneath, +where he was devoured by the angry Llaos—and such +shall be the fate of every Klamath brave, who, from +that day to this, dares to look upon the lake.</p></blockquote> + +<p>My first visit to Crater Lake was in 1885, at +which time the thought was suggested by Capt. C. E. +Dutton, of having the lake and environs drawn from +the market. Promptly acting on the suggestion, my +friend, Hon. Binger Hermann, was sought and a +movement started looking to the formation of a National +Park. In response to a petition forwarded to +Washington and ably advocated by Congressman +Hermann, the United States Geological Survey, under +Capt. Dutton, was ordered to examine the lake and surroundings +during the summer of 1886. In this expedition +it was my good fortune to have charge of the +sounding, which afforded me a pleasure unsurpassed +in all my mountain experience.</p> + +<p>That an idea may be had of the difficulties to be +overcome, suffice it to say, boats had to be built for +the purpose in Portland, transported to Ashland, +three hundred and forty-one miles by rail, and carried +from there to the lake on wagons, one hundred miles<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_18" name="page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> +into the mountains, where they were launched over +cliffs one thousand feet high.</p> + +<p>On the first day of July, I boarded the train for +Ashland, where I met Capt. Dutton, and we were +joined immediately afterward by Capt. Geo. W. Davis, +one of the most eminent engineers of America, and ten +soldiers. On the 7th, we started for the lake, preceded +by Capts. Dutton and Davis, who were followed by +a four mule team, bearing a first-class lap streak +boat, which in turn was followed by three double +teams, horsemen and pack train. Of our largest boat, +the Cleetwood, we all felt justly proud, as it was certainly +a beautiful model, four-oared, twenty-six feet +long and competent to ride almost any sea.</p> + +<p>When passing through Phœnix, the typical and +irrepressible critic came to the surface, in the shape of +a lean, lank, awkward, ignorant country boy of, say, +eighteen summers. With hands in his pockets, he +aided the single suspender delegated to hold his +breeches in place, and when shifting a monstrous chew +of tobacco over his tongue, informed his audience +(of half a dozen small urchins) that "That 'ere boat +won't live in Crater Lake half an hour if a storm +comes up. It ain't shaped right. Jist see for yourself +how sway-backed it is. It must have been made by +some feller as never seed a boat afore." This brings +to mind the fact that a critic is a person who finds +fault with something of which he is densely ignorant.</p> + +<p>The entire distance from Ashland—ninety-seven +miles—was accomplished by slow, easy marches, every<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_19" name="page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span> +precaution being taken to provide against a mishap, +and no incident occurred of special importance. Soon +after reaching the foothills, we encountered sliding +places and short turns in the road. As the wagon +containing the Cleetwood was top heavy and coupled +twenty feet long, it was impossible to turn on an +ordinary curve, hence it became necessary at times +to drive as far as possible, then let ten or fifteen men +lift the hind end of the wagon around by main +strength. When a sliding place was reached, the +men would hang on the upper side, or attach ropes +to the top and hold it, thus preventing an upset. +On Tuesday we succeeded in reaching the foot of the +last grade, and on Wednesday morning began the +ascent. Here was the rub. The hill is about a mile +and a half long, very steep, sliding, rocky, and filled +with roots and stones, added to which were great +banks of snow, packed solid by constant thawing. +Progress was slow and tedious, a roadway having to be +cut in places, while men with picks, axes and shovels +dug up rocks, cut down trees and shoveled snow, besides +building up or cutting down one side of the roadway. +At 10 o'clock on Wednesday the 14th, the boats +were landed on the walls of the lake, having traveled +four hundred and forty miles from Portland, +with scarcely a scratch to mar the paint.</p> + +<p>Thursday morning the work of launching was +commenced by covering the bottom of each skiff with +inch boards, firmly secured, as also a shield in front +of the bow. They were carried to the lowest place<span class="pagenum">[Pg 20]</span> +to be found in the cliffs, probably about nine hundred +feet, vertical measurement, where a canyon descends +at an angle of thirty-five or forty degrees, when a three-quarter +inch rope was attached and in turn passed +around a tree on the summit, where a man was stationed +to manage it, directed by signals below. One +was lowered at a time, accompanied by four men +to guide and handle it. Besides this, men were stationed +at different points to signal to the top, and thus +regulate the paying out of rope. Every effort was +made to send all loose stones on ahead, to prevent accident +from above, yet, before the first boat had proceeded +three hundred feet in its descent, a boulder +came rolling from near the summit with increasing +velocity, and before any one realized the danger, had +struck a rock in near proximity and bounded over +the skiff, passed between the men and within an inch +of one fellow's head. Before the descent was completed, +the boards were torn from the first boat; but +extra precaution was taken with the second one. +About two-thirds of the way down a perfect shower +of rocks came tumbling from a cliff to the left, but, +strange as it may seem, they either bounded over or +around the men and boat, so that no damage resulted. +At three o'clock the first skiff reached bottom somewhat +scratched, but not injured in any manner. The +second one was placed in the lake entirely uninjured +at six o'clock <span class="smcap">p.m.</span></p> + +<p>Our tents were pitched in a beautiful spot. In the +immediate foreground to the north lies the lake with<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_21" name="page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span> +its twenty odd miles of rugged cliffs standing abruptly +from the water's edge. To the left is Wizard Island, +on the top of which rests the Witch's Cauldron, or +crater, like a great flat top; beyond stands Llao Rock, +solemn, grim and grand, over two thousand feet +perpendicular, while still beyond stands Mt. Thielsen, +the lightning rod of the Cascades. Just to the east +of the lake is Mt. Scott, partly covered with snow, +while close to the camp on the east, is a high cliff +known as Cathedral Rock, running far down to the +right and at last disappearing below the tree tops. +To the south the scene was varied by a wide range of +mountain tops, stretching far away to California, chief +among which is snow-capped and beautiful Pitt. +Just to the left the rough mountain view is changed +to a charming plain, in the midst of which is a broad +expanse of water, which proves to be Klamath Lake, +about thirty miles distant. Thursday evening, dark +and threatening clouds were suddenly seen to approach +from this point, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning +and loud peals of thunder. A few large drops of +rain had fallen, when there was a sudden outburst of +joy in camp, as every one glanced at the sides of +Cathedral Rock, which were suddenly illuminated by +a light of deep orange. To the west, the sun was +slowly sinking to rest, when a glowing light spread +itself over the dark clouds, which became brighter +and still brighter. Looking beyond a scene of unparalleled +magnificence was spread before us. Through +the center hung long fleecy clouds lighted to a deep<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_22" name="page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> +orange, while above, like a great curtain, was spread a +belt of olive green. Here and there were tints of crimson, +the delicacy of which no artist could approach. +Above and parallel with the horizon stretched a long +rift, in clouds rendered marvelously rich in gold and +garnet, through which the blue sky beyond was visible, +slightly obscured by light, fleecy clouds of silver. +During all this magnificent sight the electric storm +raged in the south with unabated fury, flashes of +lightning and peals of thunder adding solemnity to a +scene of wonderful brilliance.</p> + +<p>The 16th was spent in preparing the Cleetwood +for her final plunge over the cliffs in search of +water. A sled was made of very heavy timbers, on +which she was placed, keel up, then lashed and +braced in every conceivable manner until, in fact, she +seemed a part of the sled itself. Guy ropes were +placed on each corner to guide it, in connection with +a heavy handspike. Saturday morning the actual +work of launching began, by sliding the boat over a +snowdrift in a canyon that slopes to the lake at about +an angle of fifty degrees. The cliff is probably one +thousand feet high at this point. The sled was attached +by block and tackle to a tree on the summit +and lowered nearly half way, when the bearing was +shifted as far down as possible and a new start taken. +Leaving the summit at 7:30 <span class="smcap">a.m.</span>, it required the most +persistent work and constant care of fifteen men +eight hours to reach the lake. In the bottom of the +canyon flows a stream of water that contributes very<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_23" name="page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> +materially to the danger of such an undertaking, as +constant slides of rocks are thus caused. When the +bottom seemed to be reached it was found that there +still remained a sort of jump-off, or slide, into the +water, perpendicular and about fifteen feet high. The +water, at this point is very deep, and the question +arose, "How shall we launch the boat now that we +have got it here?" It was simply turned right side +up again, lashed to the sled and let partially down +with the bow thrown out as far as possible. It was +held securely in this position while one of the men +climbed aboard, cut the lines and she shot forward +in fine style, not shipping a gallon of water, although +the bow was almost submerged to start with. The +moment the launching was complete there was a cry +of unrestrained joy sent up from all present, and our +shouts were answered from the cliffs by waving of +hats and blowing of fog horns. With one impulse +the cry was raised, "Now for the island!" and in an +incredibly short space of time both skiffs and the +Cleetwood were headed that way. With four men +at the oars we soon reached our destination, and then +returned to camp, where a bountiful repast awaited us.</p> + +<p>Every precaution was taken to clear the canyon of +loose rocks, nevertheless a few rolled down, but were +successfully dodged until the boat was actually in the +water, immediately after which a small bowlder came +down with terrific force. Capt. Davis stood directly +in its course, and not seeing it the other members of +the party shouted to him to "lookout." It being im<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_24" name="page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span>possible +for him to run, he jumped under the framework, +or sled, hanging where the boat left it, and laid +flat on the ground, just as the stone struck a rock and +the upper end of the frame. It then struck Capt. Davis +in the back, but its force had been so broken that it +did no harm further than to make the spot feel sore.</p> + +<p>The day after launching the Cleetwood, nine members +of our party made the circuit of the lake on a +sort of casual observation, or tour of inspection. The +scenery was grand to a degree far beyond our most +sanguine expectations. Four strong oarsmen soon +brought us to Llao Rock, and as we gazed in silent +wonder at its rugged sides, reaching nearly half a +mile above us, for the first time did we realize the +immensity of such a spectacle. Never before did I +fully understand the meaning of figures when they +run up into the thousands of feet, vertical measurement. +Beyond Llao rock we found a beautiful little +bay, and beyond it a larger one, probably one mile +long by a quarter of a mile deep. Here we stopped for +lunch, and when landing were surprised to find a long +line of dead moths, of large variety, washed up by the +waves, and in such numbers that the air was laden +with an unpleasant odor, apparently about a first +cousin to a slaughter house. We also found here a narrow +beach of small gravel running almost the entire +length of the bay, while further out in the lake, the +bottom is composed of sand. As this point had not +only never been named, but probably was never before +visited by human beings, we decided to christen it<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_25" name="page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span> +Cleetwood Cove. Passing on our journey, it was soon +seen that the cliffs on the north side are not so high as +those to the south. In several places it appeared that +good trails could easily be made to the water's edge, +over which a person might almost ride horseback, +and in one place, without any grading whatever, a +good pack train could descend with comparative ease. +About 2 o'clock a thunder shower came suddenly +upon us just as two beautiful grottos appeared in view. +Into one of these the boat was run, where we were entirely +beyond the reach of rain. It proved to be about +thirty feet deep and twenty wide, with an arched +roof probably eight feet above the water, while the +rocky bottom could be distinctly seen ten feet below +the surface. So perfect was its form that it almost +seemed the hand of man had hewn it from the solid +rock. Beyond it towered an immense cliff, very high, +with broken, rugged sides, picturesque and sublime, +which I insist on naming Dutton Cliff, in honor of +Capt. Dutton, who has done and is doing so much to +make Crater Lake justly famous. This point may be +known from the fact that it lies directly opposite +Llao Rock, and between the two lowest places in the +lake's walls. Immediately north of Dutton Cliff, the +elements have worn the sides of the mountain, leaving +a harder substance, alternately colored red and yellow, +resembling the mansard roof of a cottage, while in +one place, tall red chimneys stand aloft, making, all in +all, such a scene that Cottage Rock could scarcely be +improved on for a name. Lying between the two<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_26" name="page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span> +points above referred to, a break in the wall was +found, that is almost perpendicular, but certainly +does not exceed five hundred feet in height. This is +by far the lowest point in the walls.</p> + +<p>No time was lost in getting our soundings under +way. The first was made about one hundred yards +from shore. It was supposed that we might possibly +find as much as one hundred feet of water, but, as the +lead ran out, our excitement grew with each succeeding +hundred feet, until over one thousand two hundred +feet were out. At one thousand two hundred +feet the machine stopped, and our pent-up feelings exploded +in one wild yell of delight. For a number of +days the soundings were continued. The greatest +depth recorded was one thousand nine hundred and +ninety-six feet, which, making allowance for stretch +of wire, would give two thousand and eight feet. Of +the whole number made, eighteen are over one thousand +nine hundred, thirteen over one thousand eight +hundred, eleven over one thousand seven hundred, +fifteen over one thousand six hundred, and nineteen +over one thousand five hundred. It was found that at +the bottom of the northeastern end lies a plain of +several square miles, almost perfectly level, while +south of the center is a cliff about nine hundred feet +high, and west of the center seems to be cinder cone, +nearly one thousand two hundred feet in height, with +a crater in the center two hundred and fifty feet deep. +Its summit is six hundred feet below the surface of +the water.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_27" name="page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span></p> + +<p>On one occasion our party took five pounds of red +fire, which we intended to burn on the summit of +Wizard Island, but owing to the fact that the air was +so filled with smoke as to destroy the effect, our plan +was changed, and we took it to Rogue River Falls on +our return. Here we met quite a number of hardy +mountaineers, and at 9 o'clock left camp for the falls, +about one mile distant. The night was very dark, and +a weird sort of a scene it was as we climbed over logs +and rocks, lighting our way by tallow candles and a +lantern that flickered dimly. At last the bank of the +stream was reached, and while the noise of the rushing +waters was intense, nothing could be seen but the dim +outline of something white far down below us. At this +point, the walls are perpendicular, and one hundred +and eighty feet high. They are also solid rock from top +to bottom. Directly opposite where we stood, Mill +Creek falls into Rogue River (one hundred and eighty +feet), and this is what we came to see. In order to get +the benefit of the red light, it was necessary for some +one to climb down to the water. This duty fell to a +stranger in the party, who made the descent during +the day, and myself. He led the way carrying a dim +lantern, and I followed as best I could. The rocks +are covered with a remarkably thick layer of moss, +which is kept very wet by the rising mist. The path, +if such it might be termed, led along the sides of +the cliff at an angle of about 45 degrees. As we cautiously +climbed from rock to rock, it was a sort of +feeling of intensified interest that overcame us, when<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_28" name="page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span> +we realized that a single misstep would precipitate us +to the rocks below—and, worst of all, possibly we +"never would be missed." The bed of the stream was +reached at last, and the fire ignited close to the falls. +Ye gods! What a transformation! Suddenly, the canyon, +which could not be seen before, was as bright as +day, lighted by a fire so brilliant that we could not +look upon it. Crimson air and crimson water, crimson +walls and crimson everywhere. No magician of the +Arabians ever conjured up by a stroke of his wand a +spectacle more sublime. It was one of transcendent +beauty, upon which the human eye seldom rests, and +when it does its possessor is spellbound by the bewildering +vision. One almost loses the power of +speech in the desperate struggle to see and comprehend +the scene, and before it is realized the light dies +away and darkness reigns supreme, rendered ten-fold +more dense by the splendor of so magnificent a tableau.</p> + +<p>Near the base of Dutton Cliff stands a solitary rock, +probably one hundred feet high, by two hundred in +length and nearly the same breadth, that, while not +seen by the present generation of Indians, is nevertheless +known to them, and is a special object of superstitious +dread. They consider it as a peculiarly +ferocious monster, but are unable to describe its characteristics. +It stands in the lake entirely alone and +about fifty yards from shore. Standing on the cliffs, +five miles to the west and looking across the lake, +this strange rock is plainly visible in the sunlight +its rugged peaks reaching aloft, giving it the ap<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_29" name="page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span>pearance +of a full rigged ship at anchor. Should a +cloud pass before the sun, as the shadow strikes the +rock it will pass from view as effectually as though it +had ceased to exist. While sounding the lake in 1886, +I caused a party of topographical engineers to be +landed here for observations, but it was so rugged that +the most diligent search failed to reveal a level place +large enough to accommodate the tripod attached to +their instruments, and we were compelled to resort to +a point on shore for the purpose. I have never +learned its Indian name, but among the whites it is +known as the Phantom Ship.</p> + +<p>To those who enjoy the noble sport of hunting, the +vicinity of Crater Lake is especially attractive. Great +numbers of deer, bear and panther roam through the +timber in fancied security, inviting the keen eye and +steady nerve of the sportsman. Although passionately +fond of such sport myself, the grandeur and +sublimity of the surroundings so overcame me with +desire to see and prosecute our explorations, that I +forgot my love for a running shot, in an inordinate +desire to climb over the cliffs and view the wonderful +place from every conceivable point. My companions +were no less affected, and the result was that we ran +out of meat and applied to a native sheep herder for +mutton chops. He scowled upon us for a moment, +then informed our spokesman that "when he butchered +he never saved the heads."</p> + +<p>While running a line of soundings from Llao rock +to Vidae cliff across the lake one day, a strong wind<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_30" name="page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> +sprung up from the south accompanied by black +clouds and a storm seemed imminent. We had proceeded +about three miles across, when we were suddenly +startled by a loud noise, as though a multitude +of men were savagely beating tin pans. In a very few +minutes the southwestern cliffs became white and we +could plainly see the "color line" advancing to the +north, until all the cliffs to the west seemed covered +with snow. To add to so strange a sight, a good-sized +water-fall began pouring over Llao rock, and falling to +the lake two thousand feet below. Within half an +hour from the beginning of the storm, the water-fall +ceased, the cliffs became dark again, the wind shifted +to the northwest and drove millions of hailstones +upon us, sufficiently large to make us wince when +struck—especially when struck all over with no possible +means of escape.</p> + +<p>The only accident to any of our party during the +sojourn, befel a highly respected mule attached to the +Topographical Engineers Corps. One day as the party +passed along the east side of Dutton Cliff, progress +seemed almost blocked by high precipices. A point +was found overlooking a yawning chasm, where a +large tree had fallen and lodged. By throwing in +stones and brush, a sort of trail was made to terra +firma beyond the backbone of the mountain. Over +this the pack train was passed safely, except a mule +that was blind in one eye. He bore a reputation for +dignity and sobriety that any well-to-do mule might +envy. However, when just at the point which, above<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_31" name="page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span> +all others, should have received his undivided attention, +he became gay and festive, and as a consequence, +fell part way over the precipice. By dint of hard +labor, he was drawn back, but little the worse for +wear, his pack was removed and he again started +across. Again, however, he became frisky, and pitched +head-long over a rocky precipice five hundred feet +high. As his limbs mixed with those of the trees below, +the thoughts of the spectators above were: "There +goes all that is mortal of Croppy, who climbed to the +top of Mt. Shasta, but died in a lonely canyon, by his +own hand in a fit of temporary insanity. Let him +R.I.P."</p> + +<p>One day while at work on the lake, my attention +was called to what seemed to be a tall, full-bearded +man standing on the southern portion of Llao Rock's +summit. One foot was placed a little forward of the +other and the knee bent slightly but naturally, while +before him stood a gun. His hands were clasped +over the muzzle as he gazed intently to the north. +Just behind him stood a boy, apparently about fifteen +years of age. They seemed entirely too natural not +to be flesh and blood, and yet, persons at that distance +would not be visible to the naked eye, as we +were two miles out on the lake. Day after day, as our +work progressed, their position remained the same, +and, in the absence of a better explanation, we decided +them to be trees.</p> + +<p>Crater Lake is but a striking memento of a dread +past. Imagine a vast mountain, six by seven miles<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_32" name="page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span> +through, at an elevation of eight thousand feet, with +the top removed and the inside hollowed out, then +filled with the clearest water in the world, to within +two thousand feet of the top, then place a round island +in one end eight hundred and forty-five feet high, +then dig a circular hole tapering to the center, like a +funnel, one hundred feet deep and four hundred and +seventy-five feet in diameter, and you have a perfect +representation of Crater Lake.</p> + +<p>It is hard to comprehend what an immense affair +it is. To those living in New York City, I would say, +Crater Lake is large enough to have Manhattan, +Randall's, Ward's and Blackwell's Islands dropped +into it, side by side without touching the walls, or, +Chicago or Washington City might do the same. +Our own fair city of Portland with all her suburbs, +from the City Park to Mount Tabor, and from Albina +to Sellwood inclusive, could find ample room on the +bottom of the lake. On the other hand, if it were +possible to place the lake, at its present elevation, +above either of these cities, it would be over a mile up +to the surface of the water, and a mile and three-quarters +to the top of Llao Rock. Of this distance, +the ascent would be through water for two thousand +feet. To those living in New Hampshire, it might be +said, the surface of the water is twenty-three feet +higher than the summit of Mt. Washington.</p> + + +<div class="figcenter"> +<a href="images/illo_039.png"> +<img src="images/illo_039.png" alt="" title="Rogue River Falls and Vidae Cliff" /> +</a></div> +<p class="caption"> +<i>1.

Then streams of fire began to shoot +forth, great seas of lava were hurled upon the earth +beneath. The elements seemed bent upon establishing +hell upon earth and fixing its throne upon this +great mountain. At last its foundation gave way +and it sank forever from sight.

S. Nicolini +of Ragusa, Austria, E. D. Dewert of Portland, and +the writer boarded the south-bound train for Grant's +Pass, intent on a few days' outing. This town of +Grant's Pass was so named for a pass in the mountains +several miles south, where, in early days, the silent +hero camped for the night.</p> + +<p>Early Saturday morning my head was banged up +against one end of our sleeping car, an instant after +hearing the shrill whistle sounding down brakes. As +soon as possible I got on the outside and found the +engines standing within a few feet of a yawning chasm +where a bridge had been. Now, however, seven bents +had been burned away and a terrible railroad accident +was averted by the quick eye of Engineer Elliott, +who saw the fire as we turned the curve and stopped +the train almost instantly.</p> + +<p>At Grant's Pass, H. D., M. M. and F. M. Harkness +joined us, and we started for the Josephine County +Caves, about thirty miles due south, in the Siskiyou +mountains. For twenty miles the trip was made over +a very good road by wagon. At this point it became +necessary to pack our things on two horses and walk +over a trail into the mountains. On a hot day, this<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_35" name="page_35">[Pg 35]</a></span> +portion of the trip is very laborious, owing to the fact +that it is up the steep mountain side about two-thirds +of the way, and down an equally steep incline the +remainder. We arrived at our destination a little before +noon on the 27th, and found two openings, one +above the other, and about one hundred yards apart, +on the south side of a deep canyon. When out hunting +a few years since, Elijah Davidson, of Williams +Creek, found a bear and chased it into the lower entrance, +thus discovering the caves.</p> + +<p>Each entrance is high enough to admit a person +without stooping, and is probably about eight feet +wide. At noon we entered the upper cave. For a +few feet the floor inclined inward; we then descended +a ladder for about six feet, and found ourselves in a +passage way eight feet wide by an equal height, which +changed, however, at every step. Now it would be +wider, and now narrower, now higher, and now lower. +Walls, ceiling and floor were composed of solid rock. +To describe them, appropriately would simply be to +use a gift made divine by inspiration. No man can +behold them, then impart to others an accurate idea +of their appearance. Soon after entering we were +compelled to progress on hands and knees, then stood +upright in chambers ten feet high, the walls of which +were white. Stalactites were first seen here, and involuntarily +we cast sly glances around to discover the +bodies of kings preserved beneath such droppings in +"King Solomon's Mines." We wandered from place +to place, from chamber to chamber, dragging ourselves<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_36" name="page_36">[Pg 36]</a></span> +through passage ways barely large enough to admit +a human body, while with toes and fingers we worked +along, or stood in the midst of rooms that reached far +above us. Now we see a beautiful pool of clearest +water, surrounded by a delicate crystal formation in +the shape of a bowl. In color it is as white as the +driven snow, while each crystal is oblong, projecting +at right angles with the main portion for about an +eighth of an inch. One peculiarity of these crystals +that disappointed us was the fact that they change +from white to a dull, yellowish color, immediately +after being removed from the caves.</p> + +<p>We were extremely anxious to try a new process +for taking photographs in the dark, so Dewert took +his camera and acted as photographer for the party. +Owing to the limited space at times and cramped +manner of locomotion it required the services of four +men to carry the camera and accompanying necessities. +Having reached a suitable place for a picture, +the camera was first put in position, a board was laid +on the top of it on which a tin reflector was placed, +and a little powder called the lightning flash was +then poured on the board in front of the reflector. At +this point the order was given, "Douse the glim," and +all lights were extinguished. The plate was exposed +in perfect darkness, the powder was ignited, and instantly +there was a flash of the most intense light. +This light was so brilliant that, for several minutes, it +caused in the eyes a glimmering sensation of light. +Several photographs were taken in this way, which<span class="pagenum">[Pg 37]</span> +will doubtless prove excellent examples of what ingenuity +can do in the dark.</p> + +<p>It would require days of constant work to explore +all the passages we found, whereas our time was limited +to that portion of one day after 12 o'clock noon. +For this reason we remained in the caves from noon +to midnight, first examining the upper, then the lower +one. This difference exists between them: The one +above is possessed of fine stalactite formations, while +below none appear. Instead, however, immense rocks +are piled indiscriminately one upon the other, with +great cracks between. Long ladders were used to +climb to the top of the rocks, over the sides of which +yawning pits could be seen that seemed to possess +no bottom. Lack of time alone prevented us from +making a thorough investigation, but I could not resist +the temptation to climb over the side of one friendly +rock for a few feet to see how it looked. Down for +twenty feet the space remained unchanged, so that I +could easily reach from rock to rock. It then widened +out and I could proceed no farther without ropes, so I +returned to the party. A fine stream of clear cold +water flows from this cave and a strong breeze of +cool air rushed forth also. At times in both upper +and lower cave, the wind blew toward the entrance so +that it was impossible to keep the lights burning. No +traces of foul air have been found in either cave.</p> + +<p>Before our visit, visions of square chambers filled +my mind, only to be dashed aside when real ones presented +themselves, the irregular shape of which could<span class="pagenum">[Pg 38]</span> +not well be surpassed. There are no parallel walls, +few straight ones, but corners everywhere. The floor +will pitch in all directions, likewise ceiling and walls. +Beautiful views of stalactites and stalagmites stand +out in bold relief against snow white walls. At the +farthest extremity of the upper cave in one direction +an immense chamber presents itself, and should be +known as the devil's banquet hall. It is probably +75 × 150 feet and sixty in height. Great blocks of rock +hang as by a thread from the ceiling, while on every +side rocks of equal size lie in all conceivable shapes. +Standing at the point of entry one looks at the opposite +side and sees great cracks, yawning cavities with +open mouths of blackness, dismal shadows, to which +flickering lights give a ghoulish, dance-like appearance. +Yes, the devil seems to be holding high carnival, +while his imps would dance the night away. They +bob up and down and swing their arms in fiendish +glee, while the dance goes on forever. None can look +therein without seeing these imps and their antics. +The floor recedes rapidly from the entrance, and is +composed of great rocks scattered in confusion. We +placed a number of lighted candles in different places, +then climbed to the opposite side to view them. The +shadows had partially disappeared, crevices and holes +in the walls not before seen became suddenly black +and excited our curiosity, so we climbed over high +rocks into unknown passages. In a small chamber +on one side we found a beautiful stream of water, +falling several feet into a crystal basin. The walls<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_39" name="page_39">[Pg 39]</a></span> +of the chamber are white, and the effect by candle-light +is very fine.</p> + +<p>Midnight found us still employed, but we reluctantly +ceased our labors and withdrew. Without unnecessary +ceremony we wrapped our blankets about us, +laid down beneath the stars, and slept the sleep of the +just until 3 o'clock, when the dulcet notes of a coyote +called us to the business of the day. Preparations +were quickly made for the journey, and at daylight +we were on our way to Grant's Pass, where we arrived +at 9 o'clock <span class="smcap">P.M.<span class="pagenum">[Pg 40]</span></span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_40" name="page_40"></a>OUR MOUNTAINS IN WAR.</h2> + + +<p>It is a curious fact that the home of Liberty has +always been in the mountains. The reason for +this is, that Nature intervenes every barrier to prevent +conquests, and shields the native mountaineer +from onslaughts of a foreign foe. The ringing words, +"Make way for Liberty," could never have become +immortal had it not been for a mountain pass. The +memory of William Tell would not now be cherished +by liberty-loving Swiss, were it not for the friendly +crags of the Alps that sheltered him. Here in the +Northwest we are blessed with a wonderful mountain +range, extending from California through Oregon +and Washington to British Columbia.</p> + +<p>For beauty, grandeur and extent it has no superior; +while as a field of defense, it simply stands unparalleled, +and is rich in minerals, agriculture and +commerce. Located at from forty to a hundred miles +apart are the following mountain peaks, covered with +perpetual snow: Baker, Rainier, Adams, St. Helens, +Hood, Jefferson, Three Sisters, Pitt and Shasta. From +each of these, convenient points of prominence are +visible in the Coast Range, one or more of which in +turn are visible from every harbor and city as far +south as San Francisco. In case of a foreign war it is +one of the possibilities of the Oregon Alpine Club to<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_41" name="page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span> +organize a sort of Signal Corps, say five hundred men, +each of whom would be thoroughly familiar with +every pass, crevasse and crag in the mountains where +detailed for service. With a liberal supply of provisions +and ammunition on each peak, scarcely anything +short of a pestilence could dislodge them. What +could a foreign army do around Mt. Hood, for +instance, with fifty resolute men well armed and +equipped on the summit.</p> + +<p>It has been but a few years since the entire force +of the United States Army was successfully defied by +Captain Jack and a dozen Indians in the Lava Beds; +and yet we have here every advantage of the Lava +Beds, to which is added precipices to the north, east +and west, while to the south a narrow passage would +permit men to ascend, but it is necessary to cut every +step in the ice; while directly across the base of this +precipitous glacier, a crevasse extends, of unknown +depth, which varies in width from three to forty feet, +according to the season. It is needless to say that +every wounded member of the assaulting party would +pay the penalty with his life, for the slightest misstep +would hurl him into the crevasse where "moth +doth not corrupt and where thieves do not break +through and steal." Now for the point of this article. +Give to the corps a liberal supply of heliographs and +instruct the men how to use them. In this way a perfect +system of communication can be established by +which messages can be sent from point to point in an +instant. Say, for instance, that a hostile fleet was<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_42" name="page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span> +lying at Victoria and a descent on San Francisco was +planned.

Nichols, of +Tacoma, and the writer, left Tacoma for Mt. +Rainier, determined, if possible, to reach its highest +point.</p> + +<p>The provisions, blankets, alpine stocks (a hickory +staff seven feet long with a steel point at one end), +alpine ax and all that was necessary in making the +ascent easy, were taken from Tacoma, while pack +horses were procured at Yelm, a station twenty-five +miles south of Tacoma, and from which the trail leads +eastwardly to Mount Rainier. It first follows river +bottoms, then mountains, ridges and river bottoms +again, while an occasional fording of the glacial +stream, lends interest to the ever-changing scenes. +We aimed at the end of each day to camp where feed +could be obtained for hard working horses. Darkness +coming on as we reached the first ford, left in some +doubt the exact location of the crossing, so camp was +made on the bank of the river with nothing but oats +for our tired horses. Daylight found us fording the +river, which had risen during the night about ten +inches, making it quite exciting as the foaming water +splashed the horses' sides, and wet our feet and ankles.</p> + +<p>Stopping at the first place where hay could be +had, a stay of nearly two hours was made for breakfast +for ourselves and horses.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_44" name="page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span></p> + +<p>From our last night's experience, we decided to +carry hay with us and camp wherever night should +overtake us, which was at the foot of a high mountain +our trail led over, and on the bank of the river as +before. The day was uneventful, if we omit mention +of the many hornets' nests we passed through +and the four pheasants which fell before the unerring +aim of Nichol's rifle. The pheasants led us to a fitting +close of the day in the shape of pheasants and dumplings, +prepared by the writer and pronounced by +Nichols (who, by the way, is an epicure) to be simply +<i>par excellence</i>. And here I might add that the writer +is a single man.</p> + +<p>The end of the third day found us at the Hotel +Longmire at Hot Springs, located on the southwest +slope of Mt. Rainier, at an altitude of three thousand +feet, and some five miles from the perpetual snow +limit. And no finer people ever lived than Mr. and +Mrs. Longmire, who own and preside over the hotel +and springs. The hotel material was cut by hand out +of the finest grained cedar that ever grew—boards +twelve inches wide and fifteen feet long—as perfect as +though sawed.</p> + +<p>As a matter of information for those interested, it +might be well to say here that the waters of the +springs are positively life-giving. The writer has +visited many mineral springs, and has never seen anything +that will compare with the stimulating and +health-giving qualities of these springs.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_45" name="page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span></p> + +<p>But, to resume: we left the springs next morning, +with a single pack horse, expecting to leave the horse +at the top of the ridge (eight thousand feet altitude) +overlooking Paradise valley, and, with blankets on +our backs, to make our way to Ewing's camp, ten +thousand five hundred feet above sea level. We +reached Paradise valley, and, finding the same had +been so well and truly named, decided to stop till next +day and enjoy some of its beauties. Accordingly, +camp was pitched, fire-wood gathered, and a camp +fire built, and a pot of beans placed thereon. After a +light lunch we strolled, enjoying the alpine beauties +of the valley, well named Paradise.</p> + +<p>During the afternoon the wind changed to the +southwest, and clouds gradually spread over the firmament. +From our experience a year ago on Mount +Hood in a storm, at no higher altitude than we now +were, no thought was given to ascending higher till +fair weather and a northwest wind prevailed. Morning +dawned and no indications of good weather. Our +spirits were accordingly depressed. Observing the +barometer, we found it moving quite rapidly in the +direction of storm. By noon the sky was heavily +overcast, and an hour later undercast as well.</p> + +<p>By 3 o'clock rain began to fall. The wind had +already risen to quite a gale. Re-staking our tent, +digging a ditch around the head and sides, and piling +wood and rocks along the edges to keep out the wind +and rain, we crawled into our blankets and awaited +developments. Soon the storm broke upon us with<span class="pagenum">[Pg 46]</span> +all its alpine fury, and raged during the entire night. +By morning the rain had turned into sleet and snow, +the thermometer, at daylight registering 34 degrees. +Shortly the storm ceased. After some difficulty a fire +was started and coffee made. Sampling our pot of beans, +which had boiled at least four hours, we found them still +hard; after an hour more boiling we emptied them on +the ground, having learned that beans are hard to +cook at an eight thousand foot altitude. Our barometer +still indicating foul weather, we decided to start at +once for a more congenial climate. Accordingly our +shivering horses (which we had blanketed) were packed +and four hours later we were at the Springs hotel, in a +rather moody frame of mind. Tuesday morning all +was clear, the barometer indicated fair weather, and +we started early, reaching the 8500-foot ridge at 1 <span class="smcap">p.m.</span> +Turning our horses loose to feed upon the succulent +grass, we bound our blankets upon our backs and +started for Ewing's camp, altitude 11,000 feet. Evening +coming on, we made camp at 10,500. Clearing away +the rocks, leaving a sandy bottom, we stretched our +light, small tent, banking wet sand around the edges +to keep out the piercing wind, which almost invariably +blows at high altitudes. Placing our oilcloth +over the damp, cool sand, we soon had a comfortable +bed. For tent poles we used our alpine stocks, one of +which was seven and one-half feet long. Our bed being +satisfactorily arranged, we took notes on the +scenery, temperature, etc. A haze hung over the +valleys; in fact, it rose to a height of nine thousand<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_47" name="page_47">[Pg 47]</a></span> +feet. The rosy-tinted summits of Hood, Adams and +St. Helens towered away above it, however, reflecting +the rays of the declining sun.</p> + +<p>The chilliness of the temperature, 28 degrees, prevented +us from remaining long outside our tent. +Crawling in, we tightly fastened the flaps and really +passed a comfortable night. Twenty minutes after 4 +<span class="smcap">a.m.</span> found us astir, and at five o'clock we were under +way.</p> + +<p>We had scarcely as yet taken time to admire the +beauties of the scene, so intent had we been on getting +an early start so as to be able to return before sundown +to our blankets and provisions.</p> + +<p>We soon had an opportunity to admire the beauties +around and below us, as climbing above eleven thousand +feet altitude is productive of sudden stops for +rest and breath.</p> + +<p>We expected to reach the summit by noon, at +latest; but on account of the icy condition of portions +of the mountain side, it was necessary to cut steps over +quite long stretches. This delayed us more than two +hours. Twelve o'clock came and went and we were +not quite to the top of the "big rock"—a large rock +on the south side, the top of which is about two thousand +feet below the summit.</p> + +<p>By 1 o'clock we were past the rock several hundred +yards. From here to the summit we crossed eight or +nine crevasses. The snow or ice stood in pinnacles +often six and seven feet high.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_48" name="page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span></p> + +<p>Three o'clock came and the top was still beyond us. +Having no blankets or provisions, the question now +presented itself: Could we make the summit and back +over the dangerous points before dark. Not much +talking was done, however, as breath was too precious; +but we still pushed on.</p> + +<p>At 4 o'clock we held a council of war and decided +that since it was already so late we could not return +before dark, and we would make for the summit, +where steam caverns were said to exist, and where +Messrs. Longmire and Van Trump stayed over night +in '83. They found themselves in the same predicament +we were now in, by their determination to reach +the summit. This being settled, we pushed on, turned +out of our way by first one and then another obstacle, +until we found ourselves about one hundred feet, not +more, below the summit of the highest western bump +or dome. From this we descended about a hundred +feet, and thence across a level piece of snow about one-third +of a mile, to the foot of the main pinnacle, in +which is located the crater.</p> + +<p>Some three hundred feet (in altitude) more climbing, +over ashes and fine pumice stone of the outside walls +of the crater, and we stood on the apex of one of the +highest mountains in the United States. Mr. Nichols +claims the honor of being the first and only Tacomaite +who has reached the summit.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<a href="images/illo_058.png"> +<img src="images/illo_058.png" alt="" title="Mt.

Steam could be seen issuing from a dozen +different places on the inside rim of the crater, say sixty +to seventy feet below the crest.</p> + +<p>Writing our names on a card, with a short account +of the climb, we placed it inside of a small box, on +which was inscribed, "Oregon Alpine Club, Portland." +This was left on the top of the ridge. We heaped rocks +around it to prevent the wind from blowing it away. +We soon found a sort of semi-spherical opening in +the rocks, from which the warm steam poured forth. +Clearing away the rocks, leaving a sandy bottom, we +built a wall of rocks two feet in height to break the +wind, and then turned our attention to looking for +canned corned beef.</p> + +<p>We were told a can had been left there by Prof. +Ingram's party ten days before. This was soon found, +together with a package of French chocolate, a box of +sardines and some cheese. We were already the +possessors of one lemon. As nothing more was needed +we got into our den. Taking a cup found lashed to +a rock on the crest of the crater and filling it with +snow we placed it in our oven and soon had plenty of +water.</p> + +<p>We ate some lunch, but fourteen and fifteen thousand +foot altitudes are not productive of strong appetites, so +we ate sparingly, and being so completely exhausted +soon fell asleep.</p> + +<p>About 8 o'clock <span class="smcap">p.m.</span>, we were rudely awakened by +what appeared to be a dash of ice water in our faces<span class="pagenum">[Pg 50]</span> +and down our necks. The sky being clear the ice +water was explained a few moments later. The wind +had arisen and was drifting dry snow—(eight inches +of which had fallen Sunday)—from a bank about fifteen +feet distant, against the sloping roof and walls of +our warm den; thus the snow was turned to water by +the time it reached our faces. To prevent being so +rudely drenched again we removed our coats, which +were then wrapped around our heads.</p> + +<p>The wind having veered to the west, some anxiety +was felt that a storm might arise before we could return. +However, fortune smiled upon us in our dizzy resting +place so far above the clouds, and morning dawned +clear, cold and beautiful.</p> + +<p>Upon the first gleams of the sun we made for the +ridge for our dry clothes, which were placed there before +retiring to our den the night before. We had fortunately +worn two suits of heavy underclothes, two +pairs of pants and two coats, so we now had dry clothes, +and well it was we took the precaution of removing +a suit and placing it out of the way of the wet steam. +Before we could return to our den every vestige of +clothing, including a soft hat, was frozen stiff. The +cold seemed to strike at once clear through. The +agility with which we got into our steam chest would +have been amusing to an uninitiated observer. We +were soon warm again, and by slight assistance from +each other, our dripping clothes were soon changed +for dry ones. Mounting the ridge of the crater on +the highest side, sunrise observations were taken.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_51" name="page_51">[Pg 51]</a></span> +The sun appearing above the eastern horizon tinted +Rainier's top with molten silver, while the country beneath +was still wrapped in shade. Not many moments +elapsed till the adjacent mountains, Hood, +Adams and St. Helens, one by one in order named, +donned their silvery shields like mighty giants in +battle attitude, defending themselves against the sun, +their common enemy. The effect at this time was +grand, indeed, the heavy rains of two days previous +having entirely dissipated the smoke.</p> + +<p>Eastward all was clear, while westward, nearly fifteen +thousand feet below, the valleys and lowlands +were hidden beneath billowy clouds, which, like the +mountain tops, soon turned from gray to shining +silver.</p> + +<p>Soon Sol's rays had reached the western horizon. +Mountain shadows now appeared reaching westward +to the limit of our vision; the jagged edges +resting on hills and plains and valleys contributed to +a changing scene, the memory of which will last so +long as life is given.</p> + +<p>Our selfish aim more than attained, we were satisfied +and determined at once to descend to earth, from +whence we came. Our determination being carried +out, we reached Hot Springs at 8 <span class="smcap">p.m.</span>, and Tacoma +three days later.</p> + +<p class="citation"> +CHAS. H.

Steel</span>, <i>Portland, Oregon</i>: +</p> + +<p><span class="smcap">Dear Sir</span>:—I have the honor to acknowledge +the receipt of your letter of Sept. 21st, making certain +inquiries about the change of the name of Mt. Rainier +to that of Tacoma. Upon careful and diligent inquiry +among the Puyallup Indians, I find the following to +be the true condition of things:</p> + +<p>There is a general impression that the name Tacoma +was the original name of the mountain among Indians, +and that it signified "nourishing mother," and +was so named on account of its being the source of a +number of rivers which head there and flow into the +waters of Puget Sound. This, I find to be entirely +erroneous. The Indian word is <i>Ta-ko-bet</i> or <i>Ta-ke-man</i>, +the first being the most general pronunciation +used among these Indians, but both words are +used, being the different pronunciation used by the +dialects. It means a white mountain, and is a general +name for any high, snow-covered, or white, treeless +peak. It is applied to this mountain by the +Indians of this vicinity, because it is the only, or most +prominent one of the kind in the vicinity. They use<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_56" name="page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> +the word as we would speak of "The White Mountain," +there being but one near us. In the Skadgit +language, the word is a little different, and is there +called <i>Ko-ma</i>, and is applied by these Indians to Mt. +Baker, it being the mountain in that vicinity of the +kind. The word <i>Squa-tach</i>, or <i>Squat-letsh</i>, is a general +name for a range of mountains, while <i>Ta-ko-bet</i> +or <i>Ta-ko-man</i> or <i>Ko-ma</i> is the name of the snow +covered or white peaks in the range.</p> + +<p>This information I have gained from inquiry of the +Indians with whom I have come in contact and who +live near here. I inclose a statement written out by +Rev. Peter Stanup, an educated Indian of the Puyallup +tribe, and who is unusually well informed on +such matters.</p> + +<p>As to when it was first applied and by whom I am +not so well advised; but from what I do know, I understand +that it was first applied to the mountains by +the whites about twelve years ago, and at the same +time that the town of Tacoma was laid out and located +by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, or some of +its attaches. I understand that the attempt was made +by the N. P. R. R. Co. to have the name changed, +and that it still makes strenuous efforts to do so. The +people of the town of Tacoma, and the members of the +Tacoma Land Company as well as the R. R. Co., +above named, all try hard to have the mountain +called by that name; while the residents of the other +part of the Territory, west of the Cascade mountains<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_57" name="page_57">[Pg 57]</a></span> +and especially of Seattle, are very much opposed to +the change, and continue to call it by its first name. I +think that the facts are that the name Tacoma is an +attempted imitation of an Indian term applied to any +high, snow-covered peak, but which was supposed to +be the special name of this peak, because generally +used by the Indians of this vicinity, and that it was +applied to this mountain at the time the town of Tacoma +was located and named by the N. P. R. R. Co., +for the purpose of bringing into note its western +terminus.</p> + +<p class="quotsig"> +Yours Respectfully,<br /> +</p> +<p class="quotsig">EDWIN EELLS,<br /> +U. S. Indian Agent. +</p> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_57a" name="page_57a"></a>STATEMENT OF REV. PETER STANUP.</h2> + +<p><i>Ta-ko-man</i> is a name used by many different Indian +tribes of this Territory, with the same meaning and a +slight variation of pronunciation by each different +tribe. It is the name or word from which Tacoma +was derived. It originated among the inland Indians. +The meaning of <i>Ta-ko-man</i> is a high, treeless, white +or light colored peak or mound. The name is applicable +to any peak or mound as described, but is generally +used for one that is distinguished, or highly +honored. And <i>Squa-tach</i>, to climb, and <i>Sba-date</i> +mountain, are mostly used for all mountains and peaks. +The individual name of Mt. Tacoma is <i>Twhauk</i>, +which was derived from <i>Twheque</i>, snow, and<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_58" name="page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> +<i>Swheque ad</i>. Bright, clear, cloudless sky. <i>Ta-ko-man</i> +is mostly used for the Mt. Tacoma, as it is held with +much respect and esteemed by nearly all the Indians +of the Northwest. The reason for conferring the +great honor upon <i>Twhauk</i>, is that the second syllable +<i>ko</i>, means water, corresponding with the water, or +little lake on top of the mountain, and also in that +lake is a great abundance of valuable shells, from +which the Indians made their nose and ear-rings, and +other valuable jewelry.<span class="pagenum">[Pg 59]</span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_59" name="page_59"></a>THOUGHTS ON THE NAME "TACOMA."</h2> + + +<p>This beautiful name of the city whose rapid and +marvellous growth and development have been +unparalleled even in our Western civilization, is a +pure invention. Its very euphony divests it of all +claim as the Indian nomination of Old Mount Rainier, +the name conferred by the illustrious circumnavigator, +George Vancouver, borne for a century +upon the map of the world.</p> + +<p>Tacoma is a word of extremely modern origin, +invented, or used first by Lieut. Theodore Winthrop, +U. S. Army, in his readable book—"Canoe and Saddle." +The writer of these thoughts first heard it late +in the "sixties," when Capt. D. B. Finch, among the +pioneers of steam navigation on Puget Sound, presented +a building in Olympia to the Good Templars, +and his gift was christened "Tacoma Hall." Contemporaneously +Tacoma City, now the first ward of Tacoma, +was thus named by some Portland town-builders—Gen. +McCarver, Lewis M. Starr and James Steel. +The then leading hotel of Olympia, about the same +time, assumed that title and wore it for several years; +but a whole decade passed before the attempt was +made to obliterate the time-honored name of the great +mountain peak of Northwest America, conferred at +the first visit of white men to Commencement Bay in<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_60" name="page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span> +1792. Late in 1878, a lithograph map and bird's-eye +view of the embryo city of New Tacoma was published +under the patronage of the Tacoma Land Company, +entitled—"New Tacoma and Mount Rainier"—issued +in 1880. At that date the name "Tacoma" existed, +but it was not applied to the mountain; nor +was it even dreamed that the town was named from +the Indian name of the mountain. The fact is that +the name, "Mount Tacoma," has been recently conferred +on the mountain by white men. A decade +back, the name will not be found on the maps of +Washington Territory, and it is to be hoped that the +attempt to obliterate from the map of the world the +name conferred by that illustrious contributor to geographic +science, Captain George Vancouver, R. N., +will prove unsuccessful.</p> + +<p>When Gen. Hazard Stevens, and that splendid +scholar and writer, P. B. Van Trump, Esq., ascended +the grand old mountain, the pronunciation and spelling +of the name which Gen. Stevens, in his narrative, +ascribed to the mountain, was still unsettled. He +spelt the word Te-ho-ma. The "h" being aspirated +really represents an Indian guttural grunt without +beauty or even resolving itself into a well-defined consonant.</p> + +<p>In the year 1882, the writer was invited to perform +the role of orator on Independence Day at the +beautiful settlement called Puyallup. The committee +coupled with the invitation the expressed desire +that the theme should be Puget Sound reminis<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_61" name="page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span>cences—the +early settlement of Pierce county. He +adopted as a starting theme the thoughts suggested +by the words "Tacoma" and "Puyallup," or their +origin thus euphonized into household words of significance +and anglicised beauty, bearing but little resemblance +in sound to the half-uttered nasal grunts +of the fish-eating natives of Puget Sound, whose syllables +are "without form and void;" their language, +if such it be considered, acquiring meaning or intensity +of signification when accompanied by pantomimic +motion, speaking far more than all their syllabic +combinations. Through the valued assistance of +that veteran Indian student and interlocutor, John +Flett, some twenty aged, prominent Indians, who +would not deign to talk other than their own dialect, +who despised even the Chinook Jargon, but adhered +to the grunts and syllabic utterances and the pantomime +of their race for the ages before the advent of +the Hudson's Bay Company or American settlers, +gathered in the writer's office in New Tacoma, as the +city of Tacoma was then called, and seated on the +floor for hours discussed what they called the mountains +and mountain range, its surrounding and attributes. +About half were of the White river bands, +those who originally lived on the sources of the +streams issuing from Mount Rainier. The remainder +were Puyallups and 'Squallys, whose original haunts +were near the Sound. The form was to put the writer's +question or wish for information into Chinook +Jargon, which was then translated into the Indian<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_62" name="page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span> +dialect. The old men expressed themselves in their +native utterances. It would be the grossest perversion +to call their answers "words." They were not +so couched—at best, strong syllabic utterances—mere +grunts, at times which, with eloquent pantomime, assumed +grand and eloquent thought and meaning, +when translated, to give just expression arising to +poetry of ideas, but as a language, technically so considered, +poverty-stricken to the greatest degree, and +without its accompanied earnestness of movement, +without a single attribute of beauty or euphonism.</p> + +<p>That interesting study and those comparative +views, by old men of the mountain and the sea, extended +through hours; and the writer will never forget +the eloquence of action required and used by those aged +natives, which more than compensated that paucity +of syllables or words, which we call language. No +such word of beauty as "Tacoma" could possibly be +coined by them, nor result from any combination of +their uttered but significant grunts, their attempted +vocalization of thoughts or ideas. True, there were +syllabic emissions of sound which might be resolved +into words by toning down grunts and inharmonious +belchings of thoughts rather than their legitimate utterances. +The manner of conducting that "interview" +was the assumption that the word "Tacoma," or some +kindred appropriate word identified the grand old +mountain in their language; in other words, their attention +was invited to the fact, that our people had +been told that "Tacoma" was the native name of<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_63" name="page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> +the mountain. Then began the expression by all, +in turn, as to the Indian method of referring to great +landmarks, mountains individual and in range, rivers, +etc., when talking with each other. Their views +on the information communicated found expression +in several varied, combined characteristic grunts and +shrugs, which were interspersed with some analogous +syllables or utterances from which Indian philologists +have resolved words, some of which have more +or less resemblance to some of the syllables embraced +in the word Tacoma, or that word as spelled +by different writers. They then detailed their reasons +for so speaking of the mountain or any of its +natural surroundings or physical features. In that +colloquy, no two of those Indians pronounced the +same word or used that same guttural utterance or +combination of syllables. All were especially interrogated +as to the snow-capped mountain. All gave +the meaning or idea that they knew as to the cause +for a name, by which any other could identify it, and +the significance of the utterances by each adopted +in referring to it.</p> + +<p>Each band, not to say each individual, had a peculiar +reason for his name of it, contingent upon color, +shape or function. In that interview, the literal +translations of their syllabic combinations appertaining +more or less in sound to the syllables constituting +the name Tacoma—Te-ho-ma, Ta-ko-ber, Tak-o-man, +etc., as rendered by the venerable John Flett, a truthful, +skillful and reliable Indian authority was—"A<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_64" name="page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> +woman's breast that feeds," a "nourishing breast." +To one band, the shape of the cone suggested the +breast shape for a name; to another, the milky whiteness +was a reminder of the source of nourishment; to +another, the color of the streams which flow down +from the mountain in the annual freshets, gave origin +to the idea of the generous fountain of the great milk-white +breast-shaped sentinel for ages; while the Puyallups +and 'Squallys, more practical in view, associated +the fact that from the mountain rushed the torrents +of white water, resembling milk, which fertilized +the valleys of Puget Sound. While such was the conversation +and speech of those old patriarchs, several of +whom had lived to become octogenarians, communicated +as above stated, the writer is well aware that +across the mountain chain, residing in the vicinity of +the mountain, that several bands of the Klickitat nation +attach different meanings for synonymous syllabic +combinations approximating in sound to the combinations +referred to used by Western Washington +bands, with shades of meaning more practical, less +figurative, less Indian; but the writer has been content +to accept as authority, at all events so far as the +Aborigines of Western Washington are concerned, +the result of the conference of Indian patriarchs convened +at his instance in 1882. While that conference +failed to establish that there was such an Indian word +as "Tacoma," or that these Indians had any distinctive +Indian names for "Mount Rainier," or that there +was any recognized Indian name known to the sev<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_65" name="page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span>eral +tribes; yet, the different bands did use such syllabic +utterances, by which they referred to the mountain +chain, to the leading mountain of the chain. +That color, shape, and attributed function, suggested +such expression, and that the combination of syllables +which have been so euphoniously metamorphosed +into the beautiful word "Tacoma," when pronounced +by them in its native utterances, meant as herein expressed. +The writer, however, finds no warrant for +adopting Tacoma as an Indian word, nor does he believe +that such word, or its approximate, was a name +conferred by Indians upon the mountain, or exclusively +recognized as the name of the mountain by the +original natives of this region.</p> + +<p class="citation"> +ELWOOD EVANS. +</p> +<p><span class="pagenum">[ 66]</span></p> +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div class="figcenter"> +<a href="images/illo_078.png"> +<img src="images/illo_078.png" alt="" title="PRESIDENTS OF THE OREGON ALPINE CLUB" /> +</a></div> +<p class="caption">PRESIDENTS OF THE OREGON ALPINE CLUB.<span class="pagenum">[Pg 67]</span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_67" name="page_67"></a>OREGON ALPINE CLUB.</h2> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<a href="images/illo_079.png"> +<img src="images/illo_079.png" alt="" title="LOGO" /> +</a></div> + + + +<p>The Oregon Alpine Club was organized in 1887, +and incorporated October 7th of that year.

He was +born at Westborough, Mass., February 18th, 1827, and +came to Oregon, via Cape Horn, with a stock of general +merchandise, arriving at Portland, March 4th, 1851. In +1866, he was elected U. S. Senator and served six years +with credit to himself and honor to his State. He is one +of the wealthiest and most influential men in Oregon. +The following in reference to him is taken from the History +of Portland:</p> + +<p>"In person, Mr. Corbett is six feet high, straight and +spare in figure, but symmetrically formed. Cautious, +cool-headed and decided, he is not an inviting mark for +the wiles of the schemer or impostor, but he is thoroughly +approachable, respectful and considerate toward those +whom he meets, and utterly lacking either in the arrogance +of small greatness, or in the still more objectionable +truckling and assumed <i>bonhommie</i> of the small politician. +He is thoroughly dignified, and yet his manners are so +unassumingly easy that one hardly notices them. Indeed +he is a fine type of that well approved manhood in which +courtesy, kindness, dignity, culture, honor and charity are +most happily blended. To these excellences can be<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_83" name="page_83">[Pg 83]</a></span> +added unswerving integrity, honesty of purpose, purity of +thought and act, and those crowning virtues born of an +ever present and controlling moral sentiment. His career +shows what can be accomplished by steady and quiet +energy, directed by sound judgment and high purpose. +His name has been associated with numberless successful +enterprises, but not one failure, and he is justly entitled +to a foremost place among those who have created, established +and maintained the commercial and industrial +supremacy of Portland."</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<p>"<span class="smcap">David P. Thompson</span>, one of the most widely known +men in our State, was born in Harrison county, Ohio, in +1834. In his nineteenth year he came to Oregon, driving +sheep across the plains and walking every rod of the way. +Upon his arrival at Oregon City in 1853 he took a job of +cutting cordwood, which lasted through the winter. Soon +after he entered upon the profession of a surveyor, which +he followed during several years. In pursuance of this +business he acquired an unequaled knowledge of the +northwestern country, and laid the foundation of his present +ample fortune. He lived at Oregon City till 1876, +when he removed to Portland. In 1879, and again in +1881, he was elected mayor, and gave the city a vigorous +and efficient administration. Mr. Thompson, throughout +his whole life, has been noted for activity and energy. +He is a man of firm and positive character, tenacious of +his purposes, active in business and successful in his undertakings. +By appointment of President Grant he became +governor of Idaho Territory in 1875, but resigned +the office in 1876. He is now engaged in the banking +business in Portland."—(History of Portland,—Scott.) +Mr. Thompson served as president of the Alpine Club in +1889.<span class="pagenum"><a id="page_84" name="page_84">[Pg 84]</a></span></p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">Mr. George B. Markle</span> is at the present time serving +as president of the Alpine Club. He was born in +Hazleton, Lucerne county, Pennsylvania, October 7th, +1857, and came to Oregon in 1886. His desire to locate +in the west led him to make a tour of inspection, which +embraced Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, California, +Oregon and Washington. A careful examination of all +this region convinced him that Portland offered the best +inducements as a business point, combined with all the +advantages of an old settled community, and in the fall +of 1886 he permanently located in this city. He immediately +became a factor in the busy life around him, and +displayed a business generalship which marked him +as a man of unusual power, and gave him a place among +the foremost business men of the city seldom accorded in +any community to one of his years. With others he +organized the Oregon National Bank, of which he is +vice president; also the Ellensburgh National Bank, the +Northwest Loan and Trust Company and the Commercial +Bank of Vancouver, being president of the last three corporations +named. He was one of the purchasers of the +Multnomah Street Railway; reorganized the company +and ever since has been its president. He is also president +of the Portland Mining Company, owning the Sunset +group of mines in the famous Cœur d'Alene district. +He was one of the leading spirits in organizing the great +enterprise of the North Pacific Industrial Association; +purchased the land upon which to erect the necessary +buildings and secured a large number of subscriptions to +its capital stock. He was one of the leading spirits in +the organization of the Portland Hotel Company and is +prominently identified with many other enterprises.—(History +of Portland,—Scott.)<span class="pagenum">[Pg 85]</span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a id="page_85" name="page_85"></a>OREGON BIBLIOGRAPHY.</h2> + + +<p>1853.—<span class="smcap">Adams, Mt.</span>—Called by Winthrop, "Tacoma the +Second,"—(Canoe and Saddle, page 48).</p> + +<p>1889.—Called by the Indians "Pat-to," which signifies +standing up high.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/36746-h/images/frontcover.jpg b/36746-h/images/frontcover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9794c3f --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/frontcover.jpg diff --git a/36746-h/images/illo_002.jpg b/36746-h/images/illo_002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b5783da --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/illo_002.jpg diff --git a/36746-h/images/illo_039.png b/36746-h/images/illo_039.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8e0c811 --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/illo_039.png diff --git a/36746-h/images/illo_058.png b/36746-h/images/illo_058.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..87cb69f --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/illo_058.png diff --git a/36746-h/images/illo_078.png b/36746-h/images/illo_078.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e71b31d --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/illo_078.png diff --git a/36746-h/images/illo_079.png b/36746-h/images/illo_079.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..26e43ae --- /dev/null +++ b/36746-h/images/illo_079.png |
