The Mountaineer 81 
SECRETARY’S REPORT 
The year 1913 will probably be remembered by the Mountaineers more for 
the pleasure experienced by those who were fortunate enough to participate in 
the summer outing than for any other one thing. The trip was unique in many 
Ways and many friends from distant states helped to make it enjoyable. The 
outing committee did some splendid work and on account of some of their labor, 
future committees will doubtless have less to do in the matter of getting data 
on which to base their plans for the commissary, ete. 
Early in the year, a special committee remodeled the constitution and by- 
laws and the organization is now incorporated. 
Auxiliary organizations having twenty members are now entitled to elect 
a trustee of their own in addition to voting for the trustees at iarge. 
} Three classes of members are provided for: active, life and honorary. 
During the last session of the Legislature an effort was made by the club 
to have the sea-beach in Jefferson and part of Clallam County made a public 
highway. Also to have the State purchase certain tracts of land on the summit 
of Mt. Constitution and thereby avail itself of Mr. Robert Moran’s generous 
offer to donate 2,700 acres owned by him at that point. He wishes to have 
a state park there and so save that wonderful spot for the pleasure of all the 
people. 
The Legislature was so busy with other matters that we were unsuccessful 
in getting any action at that time. 
Much correspondence has been carried on in helping in the great fight being 
made by the Sierra Club of San Francisco against granting to the City of San 
Francisco, the Hetch Hetchy Valley as a site for a water and power project. 
We also helped the Rocky Mountain Club and Mr. Enos A. Mills in their 
efforts to secure favorable action on the bill creating the Rocky Mountain 
National Park. 
Through Congressman Bryan and the U. S. Geographic Board, we were 
successful in our endeavors to have the popularly named Mount Index made 
the official Mount Index, instead of the east peak, now so named on the maps, 
which has been changed to Mount Baring. 
An active committee is planning for the building of a lodge at some suitable 
location in the Cascades, where many good climbs and walks may be had 
within a reasonable distance. It is thought that it will be a great convenience 
and pleasure to our members to have such a refuge and headquarters for short 
outings in winter and summer. 
Our membership list shows members in good standing and pending appli- 
cations to the number of 489. CHARLES M. FARRER, Secretary.
