LONG TRIP IN WILDERNESS
JOHN BARRETT WRITES FROM
BOGOTA OF PliANS.
Will Travel on Muleback 1000 Miles
From Bogota to Guaya-
. jull In Ecuador.
At a meeting of the Board of Gov
ernors of the Commercial Club yester
day an invitation was ordered extend
ed to John Barrett, formerly of Port
land, who Is now United States Minis
ter to Colombia, to address the organ
ization upon his next visit to this city.
He will be requested to speak on the
trade relations of Colombia and this
country and particularly the great
Northwest.
Tom Richardson, manager of the
Commercial Club, received a letter
from Mr. Barrett yesterday, written
at Bogota, Colombia. July 18. In part,
the letter is as follows:
"In spite of overwhelming dlffcul
tlee, I have' begun actual negotiations
with President Reyes for the framing
of new and Important treaties of
peace, friendship, commerce and navi
gation between Colombia on the one
hand and the United States and Pan
ama respectively, on the other. When
ratified next Winter the treaty should
Inaugurate a new era not only in the
friendly relations of these three re
publics, but in the building up of
American influence and trade among
all the Latin republics.
"On the first of August I start on
one of the most Interesting and unique
Journeys of investigation and study
ever undertaken by an American offl-;
clal In South America. I will make
an overland trip of 1000 miles and
some 45 days will be occupied, all of
which will be accomplished by mule
back travel. We will pass through a
vastly resourceful but little known
section of South America from Bogota
in Colombia to Guayaquil in Ecuador.
According to the present arrange
ments, I will meet Secretary of State
Root at Ecuador and accompany him
to Panama. Possibly I shall return
with him to the United Staes.
"The trip which I am planning can
best be compared with one from Port
land to Los Angeles In the "40s before
the construction of the railroads and
the general opening up of the county.,
