Further or ganisation of th United States Guard has been suspended.

GIRL AND PETS PLEASE LITTLE MISS BOBE.tDALE CHARMS STRA1TD AUDIENCES.

WAR WILL CAUSE INCREASE Consensus of Opinion All Over Country Is That Vacations Are Even More Necessary to Busi ness Men Than in Past. Tourist travel will be heavier during the coming year than ever before in the history of the Paclfio Coast, ac cording to the conclusions of Herbert Cuthbert. secretary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association, who was tn Portland yesterday conferring with members of the Association. - Not only will it Increase despite the war, but the gain will really be oc casioned by the reaction from strenu ous attention to war-time business and the increased necessity for the vaca tion antidote for tired nerves and bodies. Hence, declares Mr. Cuthbert, the Pacific Northwest must prepare to entertain more guests than ever in Its picturesque playgrounds and incom parable outdoors. Trip Cover SO ,300 Miles. Mr. Cuthbert has just returned from SO.BOO-mile tour of Investigation con cerning tourist possibilities, which oc cupied six weeks and carried him through the Eastern states and West ern Canada His mission was to ascer tain the situation In the East with re gard to tourist travel, in Western Can ada with regard to Winter travel, and to get the opinion of railway officials and advertising men concerning the prospects. "Of course It Is vital to us to ascer tain what the public opinion on travel Is at this time." said Mr. Cuthbert. "So much has been said to the effect that the general public Is averse to travel because it Is occupied with war condl tions. Travel t Florida Greatest. "I found while in th East that all tourist agencies and most of the rail ways were convinced that tbe travel to Florida had been the greatest In his tory during the past year, and that the travel to California will be equal If not superior to that of any other year. "I asked whether or not the war revenue tax on tickets had any affect on travel, in no case did I find where the matter had been more than men tioned and that lightly, by people bent on vacations. It is natural to assume that Summer travel will be just as good. "I found, especially among newspaper men, magaxln editors and railway peo pie, the opinion that a vacation Is as much of a necessity now, or even more, than it ever was to the business man and that people will avail themselves of the ordinary means of transporta tion and travel In great numbers. It is also true that greater numbers have th means wherewith to take vaca tions. Ftopl Need Recreation. "Tha consensus of opinion was prac tlcally along the linos of Secretary Lane's statement last Summer, that if ever there was a time when the people needed recreation it 1 now, and. that it would not be good policy nor a good thing for th United States If the faclli ties for travel are seriously curtailed. This need was well Illustrated at the close of th last liberty loan drive, when thousands of bankers, brokers and business men, who worked in the drive, packed their grips and took a week or so to recuperate. In these strenuous times It la not good tor the business man to have his nose to th grindstone continuously he must have a chance to play and recuperate. "Other communities are preparing to go after the tourist travel. Recently there was a conference of the repre sentatlves of IS Southern states, held In New York, outlining a campaign similar to ours, at which 11,200,000 was raised for campaign purposes. 'At Washington. D. C, I discussed the matter with H. M. Albright, acting director of the National Parka Depart ment. He showed me a copy of his report dealing with tourist matters, in which the policy for tbe coming year was announced to be more vigorous than ever before. Tourist Clearing Boose Urged. "Hi has recommended the establish ment at Washington of a National tourist bureau, a clearing-house of all tourist information, which our associa tion will supply with all facts relating to the advantages of th Paclfio North west. "California is now raising a fund for tourist advertising, while the Pa cific Northwest already has funds and has the campaign for the coming year completely mapped out. There la no time like tbe present for tourist ad vertising, for, not only will the travel be great next Summer, but in the years following the war It will show an un precedented Increase. We must be resdy for it. The conclusion that I came to after the many conferences of my trip was that this is the logical time for the Pacific Northwest to be put on the map. was everywhere advised that the very beet thing we could do would be to go ahead with the campaign. ndlcatlons were for an exceptional tourist year in the Pacific Northwest VANCOUVER BANKS ELECT Annual Klection of Various Depos itories Held Tuesday.

PHO-BOLSHEVIKI HELD SIX SEAMEN FROM RUSSIAN IX V. S. CUSTODY. SHIP Disaffected Men Turned Over to Federal Officials by Skipper on Reaching . San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9. (Special.) As a result of expressing sympathy with the Bolshevik! government of Russia on th voyage of ths Russian steamship Nijni Novogorod, from Kobe to this port, six members of the crew were turned over to United States offi cials today on the arrival of the vessel, according to a report last night In the Russian colony.

A few days out from port, however, six of the seamen are reported to have delivered Bolshevlkl speeches, and for a time It was feared the other members of the crew might be Influenced and at tempt to start a mutiny. Captain Bltte Is well known In this port, having been In command of the steamship Yarslav when she brought the Russian exhibits to the exposition.

WORKERS DECLARED LOYAL North Bend Payroll Includes 2400 31 en. With Monthly Outlay for Salaries Approximating $240, 000 Co-operation Splendid. Within 90 days Coos County will be furnishing the United States Govern ment 2,000,000 feet of the choicest air plane stock from spruce and white cedar forests of that region, through the perfection of plans in which the employers and their employes In camp and mill are co-operating to effect the maximum efficiency in the big drive. says Louis J. Simpson, ex-Mayor of North Bend and largely interested in the timber business there. Mr. Simpson came to Portland yes terday for the purpose of attending a conference of workers in the war sav ings stamps campaign and will be here a short time. He is registered at the Hotel Portland, where last night he told of the great work that is being accomplished by the enterprising peo ple of Coos Bay region. The Government is asking the states of Oregon and Washington to furnish 11,000,000 feet of airplane stock every monin, ana ll Coos Countv delivers 2,000,000 feet of this it will mean a great deal to the airplane programme and the spruce production campaign, which is being directed from the Port land headquarters of this division of the United States Siernal Coras by Colonel Bruce P. Disque. Workers Declared Loyal. That there is well-nigh perfect co operation between the employers and their employes in the Coos County section, is the declaration of Mr. Simp son. Much of this has been effected, he says, through the organization in that section of the LovaJ Lee-ion of Loggers and Lumbermen by Captain Arnold, of Colonel Dlsque's staff, who has been there for several weeks and nas tactfully developed the situation until it Is almost 100 per cent organ ized. This society Is the one which came into existence at the outset of the spruce drive here. The enrollment Includes employers and employes and has a membership of more than 25,000 throughout the Northwest. Each man wears a distinctive badge, furnished by the Government, and Secretary of War Baker highly indorsed the movement. "It certainly is wonderful the prog ress that has been made In the Coos County camps and mills since the or ganization of the Legion there," said Mr. Simpson. 'Those men have re fused to work with non-members, and in a number of cases have thus driven them out of camps and mills, for they realize that any man who will not Join such an organization as this is wrong in principle and is a menace to the work. There is the 'inest example of co-operation and helpfulness between employer and employe that I have ever seen and things are In splendid con dition in our section." Captain McFarland Praised. Another feature to which Mr. Simp son called attention is the splendid work of Captain McFarland, also of the staff of Colonel Disaue. who has charge In the Coos County region of the logging and milling operations. captain McFarland has accomDlished wonaers, said Mr. Simpson, "bv brine- ing to the timber men, loggers and mill operators the true situation concern ing spruce and cedar production for airplanes. He has succeeded in organ lzing the various elements Into a nrac tical unit for the greatest efficiency in this campaign, so that there Is to be close co-operation between them. with the object In view of doing the greatest service ror tbe country. mere is something very remarkable about the manner in which the timber men, the logging and milling operators are entering into this big campaign now; it Is Inspiring to note their ac tivity for the sake of the Government's programme of aircraft.

I Harold Bauer, Master Artist, Wins Cordial Approval. Piano Vlrtmos Gives Delightful Programme of Well - Selected Numbers at Heillg. BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. PIANO playing is a religion with Harold Bauer, piano virtuoso. No Hindoo or Brahmin priest surely ever approached his sacred shrine with more quiet, heart-felt devotion than Bauer does when he sits down to play at a piano. Bauer is a household word in all Portland homes where the inner beauty of art in music is loved. He has ap peared here in different piano recitals, when his art was more muscular, more powerfully and strikingly dynamic. He used to make theoretical sparks fly from his piano keys, with the rugged strength of a Viking of old. Last nfght in the Heillg Bauer re turned to us in a Eplendid piano recital, and won cordial approval from the kindly-disposed audience, among which were many of his friends and worship ers. Bauer hadn't been playing very long when it became evident that the Bauer of 191S is a tone-poet who deals in delicate tints and shadows, a poet who plays quietly and wins his artistic way to men a souls by tne cnarming beauty of his keyboard work. The strong, tempestuous Bauer days are for the time being kept in the back ground. We seem to gaze upon a mas ter picture being painted by a master artist, and worship the lovely, delicate tints that make up the soul of the pic ture, wondering when the master art ist's brush will create bold cliffs and crags of a seashore, or the deed of a knight of old. Instead, the master cre ates a beautiful lily, and its art makes us worship it. Something of this quiet art lived throughout the rendition of Bauer's charming piano programme last night. His Beethoven "Sonata in C-Major. Opus 53," is usually played with stronger. more masculine touch, but never so rev erentially, or so poetically. The "AI legro con brio" motif lived again in th atmosphere of a convent, or old-tim abbey with cowled monks chanting. Th. Schumann "Scenes From Childhood' were beautiful beyond the medium of . poor words, especially in the "Trau merel." "Le Vent" had all the wlldness of a rain storm, with the wind going Oh-oo-oo-oo. The extra numbers were "Etude" (Chopin), "Bird" (Schumann) and "Etude" (Liszt). Bauer certainly won his audience, and got many recalls. The concert was one of the Steers & Coman series, and Reinald Werrenrath, baritone, is announced in concert, Feb ruary 14. MOUNTAIN STATES COLDER Snow Falling Over Great Area and Temperature Falling. DENVER, Jan. 9. Fine enow, which began falling in Denver this afternoon, was driven by a strong northeast wind tonight and was drifting rapidly. The snow was accompanied by a cold wave and, although the storm tonight had not seriously Interfered with train service, the Weather Bureau predicted snow and colder for tomorrow.
