The C51-mlle walk recently flnlshetby
H. V. Dolph and R. A. Pfenton, two
students at the University of Oregon.
Eugene, starting from that city July 6,
proceeding along the Oregon coast line
to Seaside, across country to Portland,
including a trip to the top of Mount
Hood, and afterward by way of Sandy,
Clackamas and Salem to Eugeno, where
the tourists arrived August 29, leads to
the suspicion that they must have
equipped themselves with the celebrated
.seven-league boots which traveled of
their own accord, as mentioned In Orient
al fairy tales. This the young men
deny, however, assertrng that their foot
wear consisted of boots made In Oregon,
known as "cruiser's" boots, with stout
soles, and with the leathor coming well
up the lower part of the leg. They
cooked their own food throughout tho
trip, with the exception of 10 meals
eaten at restaurants. ' From July 1 to
August 23, they made a solemn vow not
to shave, and the crop of whiskers they
raised on their travels Is at once the
wonder and envy of various young men
who gazed on them.
Ydung Dolph is the son of the late
United States Senator J. N. Dolph, and
his oompanlon Is the son of Lawyer "W.
JX Fenton. Both are tall, well-proportioned
young men, and tho healthy tan
on their faces makes city folks long for
a similar trip. No knapsacks were car
ried on the trip such articles are obso
lete now. The tourists took along an
army roll, tied across the body from
the shoulder to the waist. The load
amounted to 45 pounds each, Including
one blanket, canvas, extra shoes, two
weeks' supply of food, etc. The latter
consisted of macaroni, flour, beans, rice
and special patent foods. One handy
utensil was a biscuit reflector, which
baked six biscuits at a time. Pies were
easily made, not "tho kind mother used
to make," but a very good substitute.
Patent minced meat came In handy in
making pies, and the biscuit dough-made
excellent crust. Revolvers were car
ried as a means of defense, but were
never used.
Start Made From Engrene.
The tourists started on their trip from
Eugene, July 6, and headed for the
coast line at Florence, and at once
tackled the Coast Range Mountains.
Striking northward toward Cape Per
petua, the tourists found themselves In
a sheep country, with plenty of deer
tracks. In the Heceta country, bold
bluffs were found raising themselves to
ward the ocean, with their heads high
In tho air, as If saying, "Who's afraid?"
Streams on the top strata washed and
formed by the ocean were found to con
tain the finest kind of trout, and the
latter regularly made their appearance at
the tourists' meal times. It was found
that two-thirds of the distance from Flor
ence to "Waldport, on Alsea Bay, consists
of horse trails. From Florence to
Heceta lighthouse, the road Is" fairly
good for 17 miles. When Heceta light
house was reached, a storm was found
to be brewing from the ocean, and the
lighthouse-keeper, Mr. Dunstan, happen
ing to observe the tourists, who were
about to seek shelter In a deserted barn,
kindly invited them to the more wel
come lighthouse quarters. To town
folks the sight was a grand one as the
waves dashed themselves madly on the
shore, punctuated by Intervals of thun
Ser and lightning.
Shell beds from 18 Inches to two and
four feet thick were found on top of
shelves of rock, in the country passed
through, and it wns a pleasure to walk
on them. Tho wooded portion began,
and It was observed ..that most of the
trees had on their second growth, the
first forest having been destroyed by
forest fires about 30 or 40 years ago.
Yachats Creelc, 10 miles below Alsea Bay,
was found to be an excellent camping
place, where trout, salmon trout and
bluebacks abound. But the best fish
ing met with on the trip was at Ten
Mile Creek, below Cape Perpetua. The
country from Yachats to Alsea Bay was
found to be similar to the region around
Seaside and Grimes. The beach Is an
excellent one for driving. Alsea Bay
was crossed by sailboat, and the tourists
walked along a well-preserved wagon
road from Lutgens to Yaqulna Bay, pass
ing Seal Rocks. Here the tourists had
the pleasure of meeting Professor Sweet
ser, of the University of Oregon, who
was engaged In making collections of
sea life, for use In his classes. A walk
along the beach for 10 miles brought the
tourists to Newport and they were
ferried across the bay.
Enjoyed Life In the Open Air.
Up to this point, the tourists had been
passing through a thinly settled country,
and as they lived In the open like the
birds of the air, they did not bother
about their personal appearance. Imag
ine what they looked like, with prom
ising whiskers, blue flannel shirts, red
bandana handkerchiefs, brown duck
shooting hats, cordoroy trousers, and
heavy boots studded with nails. In this
-guise, young Fenton and his chum pre
sented themselves at the cottage of
Fenton's uncle, at Nye Creek, and It is
stated that several members of the family
were a little puzzled at first at the al
leged relationship. Light gradually
dawned on them, however, as the young
men began to talk, and a pleasant family
meeting was held, punctuated with bursts
of laughter at the young men's exper
iences and dress. The tourists spent
sir enJoyablB days at this haven of rest,
waiting for homo letters, and resting.
They reveled at this point on canned
goods, and for sight-seeing they mado
frequent trips to Yaqulna Bay lighthouse.
Good-bye to Nye Creek was said July
2G, and the tourists walked 10 miles that
day to Otter Rock, making 150 miles
from Eugene. One of the show sights
In that section is the Devil's punch bowl,
which. Is a rock in the ocean, 100 feet
across, with two arches, &don1,bottom,
and sandstone formation Tajjjtttie top
strata, A little beach wasninet with
from Otter Rock to the Tillamook
country. At the south end of Capo
Foulweather the path in the hills winds
around and around, hundreds of feet.
Passing Cape Foulweather the tourists
came on a lagoon one-nair mile in length,
formed on rock, gravel and sand bottom,
with the tide washing over It, and the
travelers passed back of this lagqon en
route to the Slletz River. Here they
found new roads and new houses being
rapidly built, and all the signs of a tide
of new Immigration.
Funds Drop to 30 Cents.
"How much money have we got left?"
said Dolph to Fenton, when they ar
rived at Slletz Bay and gazed blankly
across the waste of waters.
"I don't feel like 30 cents, but, really,
that is all the money we have In tho
purse," said Treasurer Fenton, after an
exhaustive examination.
"We can't hire a boat on that sum,"
said the other tourist. The plan pur
sued on the trip had been -to send money
ahead to the next postofUco by means of
postofOce money orders, the necessary
identification being secured by means
WW
of signatures. The next postofflce was
'at Tillamook. Just then an Indian ap
peared In sight Dolph and Fenton hold
a hurried consultation, and on finding
they had an extra pair of overalls, they
yelled to tho Indian. Tho noble son of
the forest grlnnod when it at length
dawned on his Intellect that he would
recelvo a pair of overalls for rowing the
two young men across the bay. He con
fessed that tho overalls were too small
to wear, personally. "But," he added in
good English, "I've a boy they might
suit. Yes, m row you across." Tho
trip was soon accomplished and the
tourists sot out. at a swinging pace to
Salmon River, passing sand hills covered
with fern, which were apparently
guarded by hosts of large mosquitoes
armed with sharp lances.
Cross Salmon River on Raft.
A raft was made of driftwood with
which to cross the Salmon River. Up
to this point a atrong north wind had
been blowing, and the young men fol
lowed the country road from Neskowin
and Nestucca Bay. At Cloverdale, 22
miles from Tillamook, the most populous
section yet met with presented Itself, and
the travelers gazed on numerous dairy
ranches, cows, and rolling hills for stock.
Dolph and Fenton hads.the strongest of
reasons for reaching Tillamook before
tho postomce closed at 5 o'clock P. JL,
they were told. They had no money left,
and their stock of provisions !i.ad run
low. They sot jiut to reach that post
office before the appointed time or perish
in the attempt, and got there, breath
less, at 4:45 P. M., only to find that the
office closed at 8 o'clock every evening.
Replenishing their larder with tho
money they received tho tourists camped
at Tillamook for a short time and then
resumed their Journey to Xe tart's Bay.
and along the coast to Capo Meare light
house and Barnegat, whero they met
and talked with Mrs. Hoxhurst. the last
of the Yamhill tribe of Indians. Her
husband was an intimate friend of Mc
Loughlin, the father of Oregon. Pass
ing Hobsonvllle, the tourists came across
a deserted "boom" city Bay City, that
has seen better days. -It's handsome
hotel Is boarded up, and the barnacles
are eating away the pier stretching out
from tho beach.
Dolph Takes a Swim.
What might have developed into a
serious accident occurred in crossing
Nehalem Bay. The tourists looked
blankly across a quarter of a mile of
water, and wondered what was to bo
their next stop. No ferry-hoat was
visible, only a rickety rowboat.
"Tell you what I'll do," said Dolph,
who Is a splendid swimmer, "We'll take
a loan of this boat, and we'll row across.
Then I'll return to this sldo with the
boat, leave it here, and I'll swim back
to you."
Fenton was not at all in love with the
Idea proposed by the young athlete, but
ultimately gave waj The trip across
was accomplished without accident, and
Dolph started alone to row across tho
bay. He tied up tho boat at the other
shore, and fearlessly started to swim
back. Fenton stood watching the swim
mer as he buffeted the waves, and to
his alarm saw that Dolph was being car
ried out by the current. Fenton ran
along the edge of tho beach, yelling di
rections, and was about Jumping In to
render Dolph what assistance he could,
when to his Joy he saw Dolph dexter
ously getting into smoother water, and
the next moment the swimmer sprang
ashore.
"That's all right" said Dolph, shaking
the water from him, like a retrievor, and
he Insisted continuing the Journey, as 1!
nothing out of the ordinary had hap
pened. On the Nekahnl Mountain trail the boys
met the woman mail-carrier of that
region. She was mounted on a tough
looking mountain pony, and on this oc
casion she was obligingly carrying the
valise of a preacher who did his best
to keep up with tho rapid gait of the
pony. Poor man, he had been told that
a stage went over the road he was travel
ing, but after a few miles' tramp he
found out this was an error. In his
plight the woman mall-carrier camo
along and volunteered to help him out
Seaside was reached August 7, at 3
o'clock P. M.t whero the tourists met
friends. A route was then struck for
Portland via Goble, and In four days
time tho tourists had walked 120 miles.
They arrived In this city on the evening
of August 11, and unsuspectingly walked
Into a well-known restaurant in this city
for supper.
Arouse Suspicion In Portland.
"You'd better go nto a side room,"
said the waiter, eyeing the two be
whiskered Individuals with much dis
favor. The tourists meekly did as di
rected, laughing secretly, as they had
often eaten at the same restaurant
when wearing their ordinary clothes.
While waiting for the meal, a man who
looked like a detective marched into the
room, and said: "You fellows do not look
right to me. Who are you, anyway?"
"We can pay our way," murmured
Fenton.
The detective looked sharply at the
son of the former United States Senator
from Oregon and said: "Show me your
hands, young fellow." Dolph did so,
end the detective said triumphantly: "I
thought so. Those are not the hands
of a working man." The restaurant
people then held a consultation, and de
cided as a matter of business if the two
dusty-looking strangers had money to pay
for their meals, that the meals could bo
supplied. Dolph and Fenton did full
Justice to the food.
Ascent of Mount Hood.
August 14, the toufists left for their
trip to Mount Hood, traveling by way of
Gresham and Sandy, doing 32 miles the
first day. In spite of a rain storm. Flvo
days later they ascended Mount Hood,
and left on their return trip August 19.
They proceeded via Sandy, Oregon City,
Salem, Eugene, reaching the latter place
August 29. at 7 o'clock A. JL, in time
to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
"Now we'll shave," said Fenton to
Dolph, and their eventful trip for the
year 1902 was over.

G. L. BAKER ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH BREAKING BILL
BOARD ORDINANCE,
He Will Make Test Case In Courts of
Right to Place Advertising Boards
on Public Streets.
The unusual spectacle of George L. Ba
ker, the popular manager of Baker's The
ater, seated In a patrol wagon yesterday
and being conveyed to the City Jail sur
prised his many friends. Mr. Baker was
arrested by order of the Chief of Police,
charged with a violation of city ordinance
No. 10,810, which Is an ordinance "to pre
vent the use of billboards for advertising
purposes, in certain places." About 35 of
Mr. Baker's artistic signboards were also
seized on the streets by the police.
For some time past there has been a
controversy between the police and Mr.
Baker regarding the meaning of the or
dinance, the police contending that the
law expressly forbids the placing of any
theatrical signboards on the public streets.
PORTLAND GIRL WINS
MISS DIAMOND DOWER.
MIbb Diamond Dormer, of this city, is making a name for herself on the stage.
Hiss Dormer la a graduate of Portland Academy and also has studied music un
der Professor Werschkul. She graduated from Wellesley College in the class
of 1901. after proving her ability In the college glee club. She la now leading
lady with the "Prince ofPllsen" company at the Tremont Theater, Boston. Her
great beauty and undoubted talents are ateadlly bringing her to the front and
critics are predicting a brilliant future for her. Mrs. E. T. Donncr will Join her
daughter In Chicago, and they will remain there three months. Then they will
go to New York City, where Miss Donner will continue her studies under the
best Instructors. In addition to her work with the company. The story of Miss
Donner's start in her professlim 1b a Rood Index to her abilities. She was la
the chorus, and after two others had tried the leading role unsuccessfully. Miss
Donner waa nut on the third night and has held the part ever since. Tho
"Prince of Pllsen" is making th longest run ever known in tho history of tho
Tremont Theater.
Mr. Baker takes tho opposite view, and
to bring the matter before tho courts It
was agreed to make a test case of It so
that the meaning of the ordinance re
ferred to may be Interpreted by the courta
The case will probably come before Mu
nicipal Judge Hogue Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Baker was released on his own recog
nizance. An Oregonian reporter Interviewed Mr.
Baker last night who spoke as follows:
"I contend that when we have permis
sion from the owners of certain property
to place our advertising within tho prop
erty line wo have tho right to do bo. I
do not believe that It Is right to tack our
advertising boards on telegraph poles, or
place them In tmch a position that they
might fall under pedestrians' feet I do
not blame the Chief of Police for enforc
ing what he believes to be the law on tho
subject And If the courts interpret tho
ordinance to mean that we must not place
our advertising boards throughout tho city
as we have dono heretofore, I am quite
willing to abide by the decision of tho
courts. But I do not think the courts will
so decide."
FIRST QUIT GILLNETTING
William Frlese Is SheepralHlna- and
Wishes Himself Oat of That
A robust elderly man, with a shock of.
hair and a flowing beard, which looks llko
the wool of a Cotswold sheep, who gives
his name as William Frlezo, and who
says he has been In the sheep business
in a small way In the Inland Empire for
a good many years, and who has been
spending a few weeks is this city, left
a day or two ago for home. Mr. Frieze
says he was a glllnet fisherman on tho
Columbia some 30 years ago and the rea
son he gives for abandoning fishing for
sheepralslng Is rather a singular one.
He fished for oeveral years about tho time
the canning business was growing to
large size, and he came to the conclusion
that tho number of fishing-boats on the
Columbia was too great, and that the
river waa not largo enough and would
soon bo exhausted. He had not even
thought of tho hosts of wheels. trap3,
seines, etc., that would In course of
years come Into use for catching salmon,
but thought the number of giilncts In
use would settle tho fishing question.
About this time he went over the moun
tains and saw the great sheep and cattle
ranges, and he says the clumps of sheep
scattered far and near put him In mind
of tho fishing-boats on the Columbia,
but he thought there could never bo too
many sheep raked to find pasture on
those vast prarles and so concluded to
get a few sheep and start In business.
Now he says he is scheming to sell out
He finds that the sheep business has be
come more overdone than the glllnet
fishing was when he quit Sheep men
buy and accumulate 40,000 or 50,000 acres
of land for their sheep, but they never
can get enough, and find that to be free
from trouble they need the whole earth
for a range and some wandering outside
star for a ram pasture. Immigrants
keep coming In and taking claims here,
there and everywhere, and now one can
not travel a mile on "hia" range without
running across a red-headed woman and
a yellow dog, and their master Is out
somewhere with a Winchester shooting
enough mutton to last his family for a
year. "Under these circumstances Mr.
Frieze "has determined to get out of the
sheep business. He spent some time
along the river this season and saw 20
or more tons of salmon taken in a day
in one seining ground, and hao concluded
that he was mistaken when he thought
tho gillnets would exterminate the
salmon, but he has no Idea of trying gill
netting again. He says, though, -that he
would like to own some of the traps and
seines he saw. for he still likes to see the
silvery flash of the salmon as they are
taken from the water.
OYSTER SEASON OPENS.
With September's Coming Bivalves
Will Frisk on the Half Shell.
With the arrival of September, a month
with an r In its name, there will be a
large Increase in the number of oysters
arriving here. It Is not that they de
sire to accompany those who have been
spending the Summer at the Coast nor
because there Is any truth in the old Idea
that oysters are not good in the months
which have no,r in their names, but the
public generally returns to eating oysters
more extensively when September comes,
and tho oysters must come In to accom
modate them. These bivalves, which for
three months have been lying low and
keeping out of sight as much as possible.
LAURELS ON THE STAGE
will now be gaily sporting on tho "half
shell," their most enticing form, and
they will receive prompt attention and
bo disposed of with great satisfaction.
The question of whether there Is an r
In the namo of the month cuts but little
figure on this coast whero both the
weather and water are cooler than at the
East, but with tho return of September
the oyster appetite spring up anew.
That dreaded enemy of the oyster, the
starfish. Is plentiful enough on this coast,
but not much Is heard of Its ravages.
Largo numbers, many carloads, of
young oysters are brought from
the East and planted In Puget
Sound and also In Shoalwater
Bay. Pains are taken to bring none of
the starfish with them. In Shoalwater
Bay hundreds of batteau loads, hundreds
of ..thousands in all, have been caught In
a day. The, beds there are, however,
peculiarly ajtd favorably located, being
bordered by streams of fresh water,
which It has been found the starfish do
not like and will not cross if they can
avoid. These streams prove quite a
protection tp'the oyster bed3, but the
starfish get more than they are welcome
to after all.
There will be great slaughter among the
oysters this week, and It is hard to tell
whether the visiting Elks or the return
ing seaside people will be most anxious
to get at them.

The rental businesses almost completely
blocked, for the return of Portland
people to the city Is" usually sufficient to
make house hunting at thl3 season a
difficult task, while this year the large
Influx of newcomers has forced the
scarcity of desirable houses up to an
abnormal height
Frank Watkins, of Parish, Watkins &
Co.. said of the situation Saturday:
"I am sure there have been 20 people
In here this morning asking about houses.
and as we had no suitable one, we did
not even give them keys.
'Houses to rent from $15 to $25 are
those mostly In. demand, and people ap
parently prefer the southwestern and
northwestern prcrts of town. They al
ways ask for houses as far south as
Hall street, or oven Caruthers, though
any of the streets further south that
havo car lines are also liked. Houses
of five and six rooms nro mostly wanted.
and the building of such houses for rent
would be a fine investment How all
the people now coming to Portland will
find homes. I don't know, and I know
of a few who havo gone on south."
E. M. Sargent, of Lambert & Sargent,
who handle many rented houses on the
East Side, said practically the same
thing.
"There should bo more cottages," said
Mr. Sargent "Wo have calls all the
time for cottages to rent for $10 to $15.
Such houses cost little to build, and
would really bo a better Investment Just
now than more costly residences."
The building of the factory of Neus
tader Bros., on East Taylor street, will
doubtless have the effect of raising the
value of property in that vicinity. Thcro
is a large and ever-growing factory dis
trict on the East Side, and this estab
lishment will be the third in the same Im
mediate neighborhood.
Around Hawthorne avenue a number
of desirable houses are being built On
what was formerly the Hawthorne estate
thcro are over 10 houses under construc
tion. To show that Portland Is growing
In more than one direction, tho agents
of a small addition In extreme North
Portland say that they havo sold nearly
every lot In the tract
It Is reported that Henry Welnhard,
who Is erecting a slx-story brick half-
block on Oak street between Fourth and
Fifth, may build on tho entire block thl3
year. A large wholesale company,
which is In neod of moro space, has
made him a good offer for the use of
the addition, and the matter is now under
consideration. The erection of this
building would probably cost something
like $150,000. and a rental of $24,000 a year
would probably be derived from It
A real estate man summed up the
condition of the market as follows:
"Thoso drowsy persons who Insist that
Portland Is dull simply because the town
Is not in the throes of a rushing boom
should consider the fact that real estate
to more than the value of $SO,000 changed
hands last week, and they may be led
to change their verdict"

PORTLAND. Aug. 31. (To the Editor.)
Refering to a recent article In Tho Or
egonian relative to the lack of a "well,
conceived plan of municipal Improvement"
for Portland. I wish to say that I con
sider the point well taken and timely, but
the writer is somewhat mistaken In his
views concerning the Civic Improvement
Association, though, In tho- absence of
better information, ho Is Justified In his
conclusions.
Primarily, the object of tho association
was to supplement the efforts of the
Lewis and Clark Fair Association in an
endeavor to put the city in proper dress
for receiving the visitors in 1905 ultimate
ly to become an Influence In a general
educational and moral uplift through the
cultivation of a love for the beautiful.
Careful and systematic plans were ar
ranged, even to the minutest details, for
a concerted endeavor in disseminating
useful information, and for stimulating
a desire on the part of all citizens' that
we win for Portland the title of a "model
city"; not only In civic beauty, but for
moral Integrity and industrial progress
as well. It was not the desire of tho
organization to assume any of the power
of municipal government but that it
would give Its moral support to every de
partment where Its services could be
made useful. It was planned that the city
be cflvided Into districts, through which
a general propaganda could be conducted
and a prize system established for the
purpose of creating a friendly spirit of
rivalry. It was proposed that Illustrated
talks would bo given from time to time
on the selection and adaptation of flow
ers, vines and shrubs, and the best meth
ods of propagation, and to encourage a
spirit of mutual helpfulness In an endeav
or to make each respective district an ob
ject of beauty and of municipal pride.
Tho first move made was to Interview
the Park Commissioners, and these
worthy gentlemen unanimously Indorsed
the plans, pledging their moral support
and any other means within their power

which would assist us in our endeavor to
benefit the community. . At that time tho
Commissioners had under consideration
a plan for engaging the services of the
best landscape architect that could be pro
cured In the East; one who had artistic
ability and the experience necessary to
qualify him for the responsibility of dic
tating a general plan for a uniform sys
tem of improving and beautifying our
city. It was expected that if he came,
the association would benefit by his coun
sel and advice.
The original plans for the organization
of this society were based on the belief
that It were better to be an Influence for
good rather than an aggressive force, for
it is a well-known fact In the history of
civic improvement endeavor that the most
effective work has been done where the
general public did not know that such an
organization existed. Our municipal of
ficers are our fellow-citizens, and are
property-owners, and must have the In
terests of the city at heart and we be-
-iieve that they are willing to co-operate
in a quiet way with any individual or or
ganization which has for Its object the
betterment of tho city. It 13 gratifying
to observe how some. Individually and
collectively, have grasped 'the true mean
ing and spirit of civic pride and, unaided,
are carrying on the good work notably
the Sellwood and Woodstock Sub-Boards
of Trade and their auxiliaries. As an ob
ject lesson, their work Is wonderfully In
spiring and hopeful. These results also
afford an excellent example of what may
be accomplished by co-operating harmon
iously with corporations or the powers
that be, as evidenced in this particular
case, by what has been done at Wood
stock by the City & Suburban Railway
Company through the local Improvement
Association; and viewed from the stand
point of original conditions, the result Is
truly magical.

Congressman Tongue's Chirogrnphy.
In Will Steel's account of the recent
excursion to Crater Lake, published yes
terday, the accidental omission of two
lines, killed the point to a satire on the
handwriting of Congressman Tongue,
whose style Is similar to the late Horace
Greeley's. Hero l what Mr. Steel wrote:
"Monday morning a side trip was made
to Wizard Island, and dinner was served
at noon, that Governor Geer and Mr.
Tongue might return to their homes,
where they were called on urgent busi
ness. We were keenly disappointed in not
meeting at the lake Mr. Frederick V.
Covllle, chief botanist of the Agricultural
Department During the evening a mes
senger arrived with a communication,
with which we wrestled until a late hour,
with the following result:
Just received views of Columbia River. They
are excellent. THAD M. HUGHES.
"We were puzzled-beyond measure until
some one suggested that It might be from
Tongue, so we tackled it again and felt
reasonably sure of the following interpre
tation: Just received news of Covllle. May Interest
you. THOS. H. TONGUE.
A little medicine dt the right kind, taken
at tho right time, is invaluable. That
means Carter's Little Liver Pills, and
take them now.

It is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm ! It leaves the
skin soft like a baby's ; no
alkali in it, nothing but
soap. The harm is done by
alkali. Still more harm is
done by not washing. So,
bad soap is better than
none.
What is bad soap ? Im
