The Mountaineer 99 
October 18, 1912. Slides of the Mount Rainier outing of 1912. 
Mr. W. H. Gorham gave a pictorial narration of the trip to Mount 
Rainier. The club made its approach from the east; crossed the Cas- 
cade divide; encircled the mountain on the north; visited almost un- 
known regions whose scenic beauties are unsurpassed; then dropped 
down on the northwest side of the mountain, and left the wonderful 
national park by way of Fairfax. The pictures were of unusual in- 
terest, portraying not only the grandeur of the great mountain, the 
exquisite Alpine flora, but also many incidents of work, play, camp- 
fire and trail. 
November 15, 1912. Miss Lulie Nettleton entertained the Moun- 
taineers with a graphic description of her trip with the Sierra Club, 
California. Among the many interesting things she told were: 
I. The aim of the Sierra Club. 
1. Protection of natural parks, etc. 
2. Building lodges on the mountains. 
3. Club rooms, etc. 
Il. The summer outing 1912. 
1. Equipment. 
2. Camps—their management. 
3. Knapsack trips.

South Kaweah and Mt. Langley. 
III. Return trip.

GERTRUDE STREATOR 
THE EVERETT MOUNTAINEERS 
The organization of The Everett Mountaineers by a few en- 
thusiasts, not quite three years ago, was a good deal of an experiment. 
At that time there was no provision in the by-laws of The Moun- 
taineers for local auxiliaries, and our organization was merely a tenta- 
tive one. 
The membership in Everett under these rather unsatisfactory con- 
ditions, grew steadily, local walks were held regularly, and several 
entertainments given, until June, 1911, when the new constitution and 
by-laws were passed, in which provision was made for the organiza- 
tion of local auxiliaries. Since that time we have made good progress 
and now have sixty members in good standing. During the past three 
months there has been more interest shown in the work of the club 
than ever before. 
In the past years we have given four stereopticon lectures with 
mountain views, the last three of them being in the auditorium of the 
High School, with free admission to the public, three or four hundred 
people attending each of them. We consider this good educational 
work. We have also held two social evenings with programs in the 
houses of members.
