way of Lake Sammamish; the other for thirty miles from 
Everett to Seattle. 
The Everett branch has conducted twenty-two walks ra- 
diating from Everett in every direction and similar in their 
variety to those of the older club. 
In April the Tacoma members began to announce local 
walks in the Bulletin and since that time have taken ten one- 
day trips. 
The local walks committee has also planned and earried 
out two most successful and enjoyable three-day trips, one in 
September known as the Labor Day trip, by chartered steamer 
to the beautiful San Juan islands, a trip now becoming a kind 
of annual pilgrimage to Mt. Constitution and Rosario, the home 
of Mr. Robert Moran; the other a glorious midwinter frolic in 
the snow at Index, the gateway of the Cascades. Besides this 
the Everett club managed a three days’ outing the last of May 
to Mt. Index and took eighteen people to the top of West In- 
dex. The Tacoma club took twenty people in June on a rare 
scenic trip to the top of Beljica peak near Mt. Rainier, a most 
appropriate preliminary for the summer outing on the higher 
mountain.
