TRIP RELIEVED BIG ASSET Portland Urged to Capitalize Co lumbia Highway. HOOD RIVER. Or., Sept. 29. (Spe eial.) New superlatives in express ing sensations on viewing the Colum bia river highway were uttered to day by Colorado and California men, members of the national parks cara van, guests at a luncheon given by Hood R:ver citizens on their arrival from Portland. "All the eulogies that Frank Branch Riley has voiced cannot begin to de pict the views that 1 saw today," de clared Harry A. Burhans. executive secretary of Denver tourist bureau, "'and the one thought that I had when I arrived here was the opportunity you have of capitalizing your mag nificent scenery. Portland is over looking a real good bet. In 1915, with our Rocky mountain national park, no further away from Denver than your Mount Hood, our tourist busi ness, which, it is declared has become Colorado's greatest individual indus try, returned us $30,000,000. We start ed in a small way with one hotel. Today we have 40." "You have the greatest drive on the North American continent. Port land can branch out, too, toward the sea. Oregon's metropolis has Hood River in the mountains and Astoria on the Pacific. Portland, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles need to be aroused to the opportunity they have lor selling their scenery. Mr. Burhans outlined plans of the international advertising campaign. Gus Holmes, head of the Park-to- f Park Tourist association, rebuked citizens of the Pacific coast sections for allowing stories to get circula tion that their roads were impassable. He declared that hundreds of auto- mobiles had been shipped from Seat tle to Los Angeles last year because j motorists neara mat nignways were impassable. "When, in fact," he said, "only short stretches were difficult of ne gotiation." Mr. Holmes declared that transcon tinental lines of highways must be developed, as well as roads up and down the Pacific coast. Then, he de clared, the need will become ob vious for the stretches we need to connect the national parks. Many sec tions, he said, are not able financially to build their individual links of pro posed great national park highway of about 5000 miles. Other speakers at the luncheon were Mayoi E. Tj. Scobee of Hood River, W. J. Hofmann of Portland, president of the raciflc Northwest Tourist association; F. B. Owens, representing the Los Angeles cham ber of commerce on the caravan; Les lie Butler' of Hood River, director of the Pacific Northwest Tourist asso sociation, and Frank Branch Riley. The visitors, before returning to the Portland Automobile club, where they were guests tonight at a dinner given by W. H. McKenny, president of the club, visited the orchards, where they saw the harvest. Their automobiles were loaded with apples. The party is accompanied by a motor truck, which has. been driven the entire distance of 2300 miles so far covered by R. M. Davis of Den ver. If the snow is too deep for pas senger automobile traffic when the caravan reaches Medford all the mem bers will journey to Crater lake aboard the truck, according to pres ent plans. C. W. McCullagh, president of the local commercial club, presided at the luncheon talks. Weather condi tions were ideal in the mid-Columbia today'and the brilliant autumn sun shine and calm on the Columbia im pressed the visitors. AD CLUB BUREAU ACTS irVPOTHETICAI; TOOTHPICK CONCERN TO BE INVESTIGATED Marshall Shac-kleford, Guest at Weekly Luncheon, Tells of Ship ping Value of Columbia. Work of the better business bureau of the Portland Ad club was graph ically portrayed for the benefit of ad club members at the regular weekly luncheon yesterday at the Benson ho tel, when a group of members went through the motions of organizing a homo concern and selling stock. The officers of the hypothetical company, which was to manufacture toothpicks for world-wide consump tion from Oregon slabwood ex plained in glowing words the invest ment possibilities offered by the fact that the company was to put its stock on the market, but were brought to earth by officers of the better busi ness bureau, who explained that the work of the bureau is to protect the public from unauthorized sales of stock, fake schemes and untruthful advertising, and that an "investiga tion" of the company would be made at once. Marshall Shackleford. national sec retary of the rivers and harbors con gress, was a guest. Mr. Schackleford is in Portland in anticipation of the livers and harbors congress next week and spoke briefly, urging a big at tendance of Portland business men at the meeting. While taking up the matter of rivers and harbors do not overlook the inland waterways, wa his advice. He urged the people of Portland to make the greatest use of the Columbia river for shipping.

Seepage Indicates Widespread De posits, Says United States Geological Expert. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) Oil rigs are drilling many sec tions of southern and southeastern Alaska with bright prospects of pro ducing, said Colonel Alfred H.

He warned against wildcatters, however, and said the oil development in Alaska was still in its primary stage and un certain. The granting of the first permit last week to prospect and drill for oil will undoubtedly be followed by others before drillers are ready in the spring, said Colonel Brooks. He pointed out that there has been no development during the last 10 years due to the withdrawal act, but that the new oil leasing bill will make Alaskan fields hum with activity when the winter is over. It has been known that there are large oil deposits in the territory since 1900, he said, and his Investiga tion convinces him. said Colonel Brooks, that most of the fields where seepages have been discovered are accessible to water transportation and can be worked practically the year round as -the known seepages are not subject to the most rigorous climatic conditions. pit of the local Christian church and will succeed Itev.
