Once Contemplated.
"Superb:" exclaimed Franklin K.
liane, Secretary of the Interior, when
he saw the vast sweep of the Colum
bia from Crown Point yesterday morn
ing, with the mist lifting: through sun
shine to climb the palisades of rock.
"What could I say of the Columbia
River Highway that has not already
been said?" he added, where Multno
mah Kails tumbles in cascades of
spray. "As a scenic highway it is un
surpassed, that ia evident; and the en
gineering of it is in keeping with the
scenery."
Vista Ilouae Explored.
At Crown Point, in company with
Samuel Lancaster, builder of the high
way, and John B. Yeon, roadmaster, the
Secretary explored Vista House, that
bit of architectural artistry that stands
like a watch tower high above the
river. The base is of gray basalt,
smoothly curving to the roadway. Sec
retary Lane expressed his admiration
for the "beautiful modeling and color
ation." He turned to Mr. Lancaster.
"You say this structure ia to cost
$65,U0(i?"
Mr. Lancaster replied that Roadmas
ter Yeon, who is in charge of construc
tion, would keep well within that esti
mate. The Secretary pursed his Hps to
just the suggestion of a whistle.
"I can't do anything as good as this
for 65,O0O," he admitted
At 8:30 yesterday morning Secretary
Lane, who confessed that his stay in
Portland was lengthened by a deter
mination to observe the highway, gave
th committee "Good morning" at his
private car, bundled into an overcoat
and announced that he was ready.
Eleven in Party.
Accompanying Secretary Lane in the
auto assigned to Ills service were XV. V.
Woodward, Samuel Lancaster and H. O.
WcCormlck, vice-president of ' the
Southern Pacific The remainder of
the motoring party were Lathrop
Urown, assistant to Secretary Lane;
J. J. Cotter, his private secretary; John
it. Yeon. R. XV, Childs, IS. G. Worth, H.
N. Lawrle. chairman of the Oregon Bu
reau of Mjnes. and, Robert Dougan, rep
resentative of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce at Washington, 1. C.
The highway was traversed to Eagle
Creek, with pauses at the various
ecenic points. Secretary Lane fre
quently expressed his admiration for
the prospect, and at Shepperd's Dell
paused for several mintues to view the
classic nook that never has failed to
bring tribute.
Throughout the trip the Secretary
was uncommunicative regarding affairs
of state, and evinced a. desire to give
himself thoroughly up to the enjoy
ment of the outing. Only once did he
rpeak of matters other . than those of
the moment, and then when the talk
turned to his favorite topic Alaska.
Alaxkan Coal Coming;.
"The railroad ia progressing finely,"
aid Secretary Lane, referring to the
Government's project. "It will soon be
one of the great scenic routes of Amer
ica. Many tourists will come to this
city and to Seattle, turning thence to
the wonderland of Alaska. You'll haveJ
no danger of fuel famine here, very
soon, for we'll be getting out coal next
year. We already have opened some
very good mines, and the quality of the
output is equal to the Pocahontas
grade."
Secretary Lane smiled in recollec
tion of the time he came near to enter
ing the Portland newspaper field.
"I once seriously contemplated start
ing a morning daily in Portland," he
recalled. "That was in 188S, I believe,
but I spared The Oregonian from
rivalry and went on to Tacoma."
ioan Committee Entertaina.
Upon his return from the highway
trip Secretary Lane was entertained at
luncheon at the Hotel Portland by the
liberty loan publicity committee. He
was introduced by E. G. Crawford, vice
president of the L'nited States National
Bank, and spoke briefly upon the im
portance of the liberty loan campaign
and the sh&.re the committee bears in it.
Secretary Lane and party departed
last night for Omaha, Neb. He was
accompanied by . Robert S. Lovett,
chairman ocf the board of directors of
the Union. Pacific, whose special
brought Secretary Lane into Portland
for the Wednesday night speech, when
the regular train was late.
It had been reported that Secretary
Lane intended to review the progress
of Government projects in Alaska dur
ing the present trip. Beyond stating
that his r At urn to the East was Imme
diately necessary, the Secretary made
no comment on the presumable change
ct plans.

BlIE TOXG, CHINESE. ATTACKED
BV BOOTBLACK A.S HE SLEEPS.
And Now Tong Ia at St. Tlnrent'a Hoi
pltal Suffering From Badly
Lacerated Scalp.
George XV. Davis. 30, a negro boot
black, is lying dead at the morgue
with two bullet wounds in the body,
and Huie Tong, 54, a Chinese, is at
St. Vincent's Hospital with his scalp
badly lacerated as the result of an at
tempted burglary of his room at 63
North Fourth street by Davis at 5:30
yesterday morning.
With a small hammer covered with
cloth, Davis gained entrance to Tong's
room while the latter was sleeping and
began beating the aged Chinese over
the head with the hammer. With the
covers thrown over his head, Tong
grabbed his gun from beneath the pil
low and fired two shots through the
blankets, both of them taking effect.
After he had slain the negro, Tong
crawled to another room for assistance.
Mortorcycle Patrolmen Morris and
Tully arrived a few minutes later and
found Davis dead on the floor, while
Tong was lying on the bed In a dazed
condition.
Detectives Goltz and Howell, who
made an investigation, believe that
Davis had been at Tong's room before
for opium and learned that the Chinese
had $400 hidden there.
Davis had been in Portland for about
six months, coming here from Salt
Lake, where he worked as a bootblack.
Little is known of him among the lo
cal negro population.
Acting Coroner Smith took charge
of the body and is holding it pending
efforts to get into communication with
relatives.
At St- Vincent's Hospital it was re
ported that Tong's condition Is not
serious.

How to Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness or Head Noises
If you have catarrh, catarrhal daafneis
or head noises caused by catarrh, or if
phlegm drops in your throat or has caused
catarrh of the stomach or bowels, you
will be glad to know that these distressing
symptoms may be entirely overcome in
many instances by the following treatment,
which you can easily prepare in your own
home at little cost. Secure from your
druggist one ounce of Parmlnt- (double
strength). This will not cost you more
than 00c. Take this home and add to it
4 pint of hot water and four ounces of
granulated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times a dav. An
improvement is sometimes noted after the
first day's treatment. Breathing should be
come easy, while the distressing head noises,
headaches, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.,
should gradually disappear under the tonic
action of the treatment. Lost of smell,
taste, defective hearing and mucus drop
ping In the back of the throat are other
symptoms which suggest the presence of
catarrh and which may often be overcome
by this efficacious treatment. If nearly
00 per cent of all ear troubles are ' caused
by catarrh,' there must be many people whose
heating may be restored by this simple home
treatment. Adv.
