The Mountaineer 101 
and the head-waters of the Queets, and still another the Mt. Stewart 
country, in the Cascades. All have their individual merits and diffi- 
culties. 
A new feature this year was the appointment by the Board of a 
committee to make a collection of photographs which would illustrate, 
consecutively, the different outings of the club—the scenery and some 
important or interesting features. Also the collection of lantern slides, 
covering the same outings, was enlarged and, in so far as possible, all 
gaps filled. 
In response to an invitation from Secretary of the Interior Fisher, 
the club appointed Mr. Wm. H. Gorham and Mr. E. T. Parsons to rep- 
resent it at the conference of National Park Superintendents in the 
Yosemite National Park in September. Mr. Gorham reported that the 
conference was a great success through the useful and helpful ex- 
change of ideas and experiences. The report was published in full in 
the Bulletin. 
The club had the pleasure of entertaining Miss Dora Keen on her 
way to Alaska and Mt. Blackburn and also on her return from her 
strenuous expedition, when a banquet was tendered Miss Keen, Prof. 
Parker, Mr. Belmore Brown, and Mr. Merle LaVoy, the latter members 
of Prof. Parker’s party in his assault on Mt. McKinley. Our guests 
entertained us with a most interesting and vivid account of their ex- 
periences, much to the pleasure of those present. 
The Mountaineers continue to grow with the lusty vigor of youth 
and a good constitution, though the Board of Directors are considering 
some changes to be offered the club in regard to the latter. The mem- 
bership, including applications to November 1, has increased during 
the year from 376 to 457, certainly a creditable showing. The Everett 
auxiliary, under its enthusiastic leader, has increased its membership 
to fifty-seven. During the year they have enjoyed many outings and 
entertainments. The Tacoma auxiliary, under the able management 
of Mr. A. H. Denman, has also experienced a most satisfactory season. 
For the future, the prospects of the club are very bright and its 
activities will doubtless continue to expand. In fact, an institution that 
can so successfully call on its members for the very large amount of 
hard, unselfish work necessary to manage the local walks, outings, pub. 
lications, and other undertakings, is bound to succeed.
