The following resolution was proposed: 
“Be it resolved that the Board of Directors of the Mountaineers 
be requested to investigate the matter of the construction of club 
lodges and mountain shelters with the view to the erection of such as 
seem most immediately useful, at the earliest opportunity, and of such 
others in the future as the club may be able to maintain.” 
The resolution was unanimously adopted. 
The following resolution was also presented: 
“Whereas, the members of the 1913 outing of the Mountaineers 
have been honored by the presence of one* of the most prominent of 
the women mountaineers of the west; and, whereas, we wish to show 
in a measure our appreciation of her sterling qualities and her long 
and honorable career in the great out-of-doors ; 
“Therefore be it resolved by the members of this outing, with the 
sanction of the Outing Committee, that we commemorate her and 
her visit with us by naming the chief vista of our main camp in 
her honor as ‘Marion Gorge and Pass,’ and be it further resolved that 
we spread these resolutions on the minutes of our organization by and 
with the consent of the Board of Directors.” 
The resolution was unanimously adopted. 
Thursday, August fourteenth. After breaking camp in the Elwha 
Basin, we retraced our steps along the Elwha River trail to “the sign 
of the turtle”; turned south on the excellent new trail which was 
constructed by Grant Humes for the Mountaineers; and arrived in Low 
Divide camp about one o’clock. Although it rained, every one was well 
sheltered as each had taken his tent or fly and had it pitched long 
before the pack train appeared, as the horses, objecting to servitude 
after their rest and freedom at permanent camp, had given the packers 
a hard chase before they allowed themselves to be caught and saddled. 
Two beautiful little lakes, Martha and Margaret, named in honor 
of the wives of Dodwell and Rixon, were found in the valley at Low 
Divide. The water-lily pads in Lake Margaret afforded an excellent 
example of the result of seed distribution by birds, as the natural 
habitat of water lilies is much lower. 
A portion of the old wickey-up used in 1907 by the Mountaineers 
marked the site of the camp established in 1913, therefore it was 
with a feeling of returning home that we settled down in the old camp 
for two days. 
Shortly after breakfast on August fifteenth the line formed for 
the ascent of Mount Christy under the directorship of Grant Humes. 
We scrambled through wet brush, then up into beautiful Martin Park, 
where we had lunch near a small stream, after which fifty-four con- 
tinued the trip toward the summit, while the others decided to take 
pictures, explore the park, and then return to camp.
