THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915. II AILWAY PROPOSES ADVERTISING POOL New Scheme Is Suggested Attract Tourist Travel to Northwest. to CITIES ASKED TO COMBINE Traffic Expert Studies Conditions and Will Advise Transportation I,ines, Hotels and Public Bodies to TTnite. southbound today are box shooks from Astoria, flour from Montana and a varied assortment of other freight. The Great Northern, which arrives at noon tomorrow at Flavel. number among her passengers 105 Cincinnati boosters, constituting a portion of the Chamber of Commerce of that city. Inquiries -were telegraphed to Han Francisco last night, asking how long the delegation would stay in Portland and what opportunity there would be to tender Vie travelers entertainment here. All the railroads, all the hotels and all the commercial bodies of the North west should pool their resources in the effort to attract tourists to the Northwest. This is the decision of Gerrit Fort, of Chicago, passenger traffic manager of the Union Tacific system, who. with B. L. Winchell, traffic director, has completed a six weeks close study of conditions in this territory. The Union Pacific officials propose at once to submit their idea formally to the other railroads serving the Northwest, to the Portland Chamber of Commerce, to the commercial organ izations at Seattle, Tacoma. Spokane and other cities, and to the principal hotels in each of the Northwestern cities. Encoarafffunent Is Olven. They have already discussed the plan Informally with the advertising and j passenger officials of some of the other lines and have secured some encourage ment. But now they are going to present the proposal direct to all interested parties and urge its early adoption. They want to have it effective in time to influence travel to the Northwest next year. Mr. Fort and Mr. "Winchell returned to Portland yesterday after passing four weeks in the Puget Sound coun try, Bellingham. Vancouver, points on the Canadian Pacific as far east as Calgary, Spokane, the Coeur d'Alenes and other points. They had been in Portland for two weeks before starting out on this circle trip and will be ready to return to their offices in Chicago tonight. "I am convinced." said Mr. Fort yes terday, "that the railroads are wasting a lot of money every year in the kind of advertising that they are doing. "Each road goes to a lot of trouble and pains to convince the prospective passenger of the superiority of its dining car service, the safety of Us coaches and the comfort of Its sleep ing cars, when, as a matter of fact, the service in these particulars is more or less the same on all roads. "The rates on all railroads are, of course, the same, so the principal dif ference between the several lines, so far as the traveler is concerned, are the schedules and the scenic advantages. Advertising Pool Proposed. "Now, our notion is to ask all the railroads Jo pool their advertising funds to form a. 'Jackpot' as it were: then invite the hotels that are in the habit of advertising and those that do not habitually advertise, but which ought to get a lot of benefit out of this tourist traffic, and the commercial bodies of the various Northwestern cities, to Join with us and advertise the Northwest as a whole. "it is a useless waste of -money for Portland to ask tourists to come out here from the East to see Portland alone, or for Seattle or Spokane or Van couver to ask them to come and see those respective' cities alone. A. tour ist naturally will want to see as much of the country as possible, so why not tell him how much of it he can see?' Mr. Fort, who is one of the best known passenger officials in the coun try, havins: been connected with th New York Central system before join ing the Union Pacific in his present capacity, declares that the Pacific Coast and particularly the isortnwest tias an the Atlantic Coast discounted for cli mate, scenery and other elements that combine to attract the tourist. "The only difficulty is the long haul across the continent. he commented "But with the modern conveniences now in use by all first-class railroads this disadvantage has largely been overcome. "My recent trip through the North west has been a revelation to me. I can say without qualification that Portland, Spokane and the other North western cities have the best hotels in the country not even excepting New York, Boston and Chicago. "Then the advantages of the automo bile roads certainly ought to appeal to the tourist. With the roads you now have and those that are being built the Northwestern cities will have an asset the value of which is hard to estimate." The notion that some people have that the railroads are opposed to the good roads movement because it takes passenger business away from them is readily dispelled by the Union Pacific officials. Listen to Mr. Fort on this subject: Farmrn AVI II Benefit. "The automobile's use of the modern highway has deprived the Union Pa cific of a very substantial part of its local business, and this situation is felt in our earnings from month to month, but I believe the good roads movement , will benefit the railroads in the end They make for better living con ditions among the people particularly among the farmers. They help to build up the country. In the end those things are certain to help the railroads. They will provide freight, and by building up the territory provide more people for us to carry. Consistent with their belief that the Northwest is destined to become the Mecca for thousands of tourists every year, the Union Pacific officials have arranged to publish a booklet describ ing the advantages of travel in this region. It will be prepared under di rection of William McMurray. genera passengeragent of the O.-W. R. & N Company, which road is a part of the Union Pacific system. This pamphle will be widely distributed. As soon as Mr. Winchell and Mr. Fort get back to Chicago they will begin their campaign among the other rail roads, the hotel and commercial organ! zations for united effort in exploiting the scenic and climatic resources of the northwest.

Sailing- Tonnage Rates Unchanged, bat War Situation Causes Disin clination to Kngatre More Wind- Jammers IsaUela Coming. In the charter yesterday of the Brit ish steamer Volga by the Portland Flouring Mills Company to load here In-September at 95s.. the top-notch rate of the season on steam tonnage was reached. The last previous engage ment was of the Norwegian steamer Strlnda at 92s. 6d.. taken by M. H. Houser. Sailing tonnage rates are said to remain unchanged. 80s. being asked for December canceling, with 77s. 6d. for January. Ships were offered yester day at those figures, but here is a disinclination on the part of exporters to engage more windjammers for December-January loading owing to the doubt as to what the war situation will be late In the Fall. The assumption is that if there Is no general victory by October the strife will be continued during the Winter, as was the case last season. In which event it is reasoned late ships will be in demand. The Volga is a vessel of 2851 tons net register, and at least part of her cargo is expected to be flour. She has the option of various ports across the At lantic. The tramp Strinda Is looked for the latter part of September or early in October from the Orient. Others on ,the en route list are the British steamer Calderarrove . from Dunedin. and the British steamer Ver dun from Rio de Janeiro. Another steamer headed this wav to participate in the movement of cereal products is the Isabela, operating In the Sudden & Christensen fleet, which sailed from Baltimore for Seattle, June 30, and was at Colon July 11. She loads here early in August for the West Coast, taking flour in the hold and lumber on deck. The steamer Henry T. Scott left the river July 11 for Valparaiso in the same, fleet, carry ing an underdeck load of flour There is talk that the Sudden & Christiansen Interests will endeavor to maintain a service to South American porta. The British bark Amulree began loaaing wheat at Irving dock yester day afternoon, and the American hark John Ena was to have started at Mersey dock, but it was decided to fumigate the vessel, so she will prob ably begin receiving- careo Mondav. The latter was drydocked early In the weeic tor cleaning and painting, and the Amulree shifted yesterday from Linnton in tow of the steamer Cas cades, after having discharged ballast. AXXIE LARSON IS XTXLTJCKY Arms Shipment Said to Have Cansed Loss to AH Concerned. ABERDEEN', Wash., July 23. (Spe cial.) The hoodoo of the schooner Annie Larson, which completed dis charging her cargo of arms here today, has spread like a contagion to every one who has been connected with the vessel. So far, five firms have lost money through their interest in her. The first of these was the consignors who have last their entire investment in the shipment of arms. Then "the owners of the Larson have lost con siderable since they have been unable to use the ship for weeks. The unloading has been so slow that the stevedore company managers admit they have lost money and the owners 01 tne warehouse in which the goods are oeing storeq also have lost be cause the weight of the goods was so great that the floor of this building had to be braced to keep It from caving in. The Government, when all ex penses are paid connected with the holding of the vessel, probably will not make anything. Nothing concerning the disposal of the vessel or her cargo has been learned from Washington aa yet. Ship pers believe the vessel will be turned over to the owners In a few days and that the cargo after being condemned in a. Federal Court will be sold at pub lic auction- XORTHLAXD ilcCKS BIG WIND Coaster Xoses Way Up Coast Ahead of Sister Steamers. Captain Bodge brought the North land, flagship of the Dodge fleet. Into the harbor at 10 o'clock yesterday morning with a long, broad smile be cause he had outdistanced other steam schooners In a run from the Colden Gate in the teeth of a northwester, ac companied by heavy fog at times and for most of the way by a strong north west swell. The vessel left San Fran cisco at 11 o'clock, Monday night and reached the river at 11 o'clock Thurs day night, being considerably behind schedule, but by running upstream at night she only lost four hours in be ginning to discharge here. The steamer J. B. Stetson was another held back by the blow. She got away from the Golden Gate at 8 o'clock Mon day night and the Northland passed her off the entrance to Rogue River, the Stetson making the river during the night and left up at 6 o'clock yes terday. The. Northland had a number of passengers and In her cargo was a heavy cruising launch for Puget Sound for which waters she sails tonight. A deckload of asphalt and the uaual gen eral stuff comprised part of her load. MAIL ORDERS TOPIC Dealers Plan Conference in Portland Buyers' Week.

Pendleton Merchant In Notifying Committee, of Desire) to Speak, Cites Some Reasons tor Pat ronage of Home Stores. Mall order houses will be handled without gloves In the discussion at toe meetings to be held at the Chamber ot Commerce during Buyers- week, which will be attended by retail merchants from cities throughout the North western states. This subject is brought up with especial emphasis because the states of Washington, Oregon. Montana nd Idaho are at this time oeina flooded with catalogues by an Kastern mail-order houce. With this point of view In the minds of many of the retailers who will be In Portland from August to 11 proposed to develop some sort of a system by which the local dealer may be able to circularise his territory for mall-order business, no matter what town he may be located in. "With the largest stocks of goods In many lines that are carried on the Pacific Coast, the Jobbers and manu facturers of Portland are able to ob tain a rate which enablea merchandise to move to any section of the North west in competition with Kaetern mall order concerns." wrote a prominent Pendleton merchant yesterday. In re sponse to an invitation from the Cham ber of Commerce to be present during Buyers' week . and take part In the sessions of the Northwest merchants' convention. "The mall-order house procures business from the man who thinks he has not the time to journey to his nearest trading center, and from the man who has the idea that he can -purchase merchandise much cheaper from the Kastern mall-order concern than he can at his home point. "The Northwest merchant can com bat the first reason and through con sistent hammering can remove the second idea. "When the isolated rancher dies you do not find any Eastern mail order houses at the funeral. He Is car ried to his grave by hla neighbors and friends from the town near which he lives, among them the merchants who should have had a rail on his business. "When the widow and children need aid In tiding over the touch places, there are no Kastern mail-order fellows doing the farm work, or paying for the seed. The man who does that is the merchant who carries the woman until she can sell her crop. "Reserve a place for me and give me a chance to talk to the merchants on this matter." That Buyers' week I cementing the traders of the four Northwest states into a compact fighting body for the betterment of conditions all along the line is indicated by the dozens of let ters of a similar tenor which are dally arriving at the Chamber of Com merce headquarters for the week.

NON-VOTERS HELD DANGER Milwaukee Commission Declares Carelessness Aids Socialists. MILWAUKEE, July 17. Habitual non-voters should be eliminated from the registration list, says the election commission in a manual just issued.
