BIO TRAVEL PREDICTED
A bigger travel to the northwest' than
during the Lewis and Clark exposition
year is predicted for the summer by W.
A. Cox, general agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, who has just re
turned from a business trip tor Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, .Indian
apolis and other points.'
"ir tne railroads put on summer rates
that are now under consideration in the
east, I positively believe the travel to this
coast this year will equal if it does not ex
ceed, that of last year in Portland," is
the way Mr. Cox puts It.
This statement, coming seriously from
one of the best informed railroad traffic
men, fresh from the middle . west and
eastern territory, from which Oregon ex
pects to draw investors, settlers and
tourists tnis year, will surprise most
people. It is said that few realize the
immense travel that will come from the
east to the Pacific coast this year.
Mr. Cox closely observed indications
that cam within his view on the trip
east, and his opinion is based on personal
knowledge of what he saw and heard. He
says the people who came to the Lewis
and Clark fair have don an immense
amount of effective advertising for the
Pacific northwest, and not only are manv
of the same people coming back, hut
thousand of other whom they have
told of the resources, opportunities and
general favorable conditions here.
DID IRONSIDES"
A suggestion made in the annual report
of the secretary of the navy of the possi-
oie destruction of the historic old friirate
Constitution awakened new interest in
the preservation of the ship, which found
xpression in the presentation to Congress
of a great petition signed by more than
80.000 citizens of Massachusetts. The
petition, encased in a bronze roll, was
presented in the House by Mr. McCall
January 1 8, and was received with cheer.
The House adopted a resolution directing
the committee on naval affairs to ascer
tain the annual cost of proper care of the
ship.
