Sierra Club Bulletin 



Westerfeld Lake, in honor of the commissioner, Carl Westerfeld, who 

 personally made the plant of Golden trout therein. 



From Lone Tree Camp we took ten cans of fish via Elizabeth Pass, 

 Roaring River, Rowell Meadow, Cedar Grove and Wildman's Meadow, 

 and with these fish planted Kennedy Canon Creek and some lakes on 

 the northern slope of the divide between the South and Middle Forks 

 of Kings River. Deputy Bullard, assisted by W. W. Williams, was 

 detached from the main party and went to the Kings River Country 

 with these fish. Incidentally, I would state that Deputy Bullard re- 

 ports that in fording the South Fork of Kings River near Cedar Grove, 

 he got a mule down in the stream and lost one can of Golden trout in 

 the South Fork. They probably will be heard of later. 



In conclusion, it is worthy of note that our pack-horse fish distribu- 

 tion work of 1914, in point of magnitude, distance traversed and dif- 

 ficulties overcome, was the biggest successful undertaking ever inau- 

 gurated in this country. Yours very truly, 



A. D. Ferguson, 

 Assistant in charge Fresno Division 



MAZAMA CLUB 



The Mazama Outing of 1914 on the north side of Mt. Rainier was 

 one of the most successful ever conducted by the Club. Permanent 

 camp was made on the shores of Mystic Lake in Moraine Park, with 

 Willis Wall and the Carbon and Winthrop glaciers in full view. 



One hundred and twenty-eight persons registered, a most congenial 

 company, including representatives from all the principal alpine clubs 

 of America. 



The climb of the mountain was a record-breaker. Seventy-five men 

 and women lined up for the attempt, and of this number seventy-one 

 reached the summit, the largest company ever assembled on the top 

 of Mt. Rainier. The route from "Steamboat Prow" differed somewhat 

 from that taken in former years, leading in a more direct line over 

 Winthrop, instead of swinging out onto Emmons Glacier. This short- 

 ened the distance and the time, and the ascent from the "Prow" was 

 made in from six and one-half to seven and one-half hours. 



Numerous knapsack parties to neighboring points of interest and 

 unusually interesting camp-fire entertainment made the outing one long 

 to be remembered. 



The club will make Mt. Shasta the scene of its outing in 1915, going 

 in from Sisson to "Horse Camp" on the western slope of the moun- 

 tain, early in July. The outing will probably include a trip to Crater 

 Lake and transportation to the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Encamp- 

 ment being made on Sierra territory, a most cordial invitation is ex- 

 tended to members of the Sierra Club, and it is hoped that the Mazama 

 Camp may have the privilege of offering its hospitality to a goodly 

 number of California mountaineers. Louisa Almy
