HIGHEST RECORD OF AUTOCAR
ARRIVALS AT CAMP IS PRESSED
Workmen Busy Cleaning Up Brush, Stumps and Logs to Open Ki

SCHOOL
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
FOR the 24 hours ending at 10
A. M., yesterday, the cars ar
riving at the park numbered
117. This is within seven or eight
of the high record.
..,
Workmen are now busy cleaning
up the brush, stumps and logs from
the southern end of Kiwanis avenue
and that street will be opened its
full length within a very few days.
.,
The first car of the season from
Washington, D. C, arrived Wed
nesday morning, the passengers be
ing Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Wilder and
their son, A. A. Wilder and his
wife and two children, Helen,
aged 18, and Laura, 13. This party
left Washington on June 6. and
made a stop at Yellowstone park.
The cause of the trip was that
the younger Mrs. Wilder,, who has
been employed in the surgeon-general's
office in Washington, was
transferred to a hospitaL. in San
Diego, Cal., and she and ner peo
ple are now on their way there.
The elder Mr. Wilder is on the re
tired list and takes life easy. This
is his first trip to the coast and
he is greatly pleased with the
country.
The fine city of Victoria, B. C, is
represented by a retired fuel dealer,
George Burt, who. is making a trip
with Mrs. Burt' and their daughter
Jacqueline, aged 6 years. J Mr. Burt
shipped his car from Victoria to
Vancouver, and is on his way to
Los Angeles for a brief visit.
A retired druggist, J. S. Thomas,
is camping on the grounds with his
wife. This is the fourth consecu
tive year the ThomaseB have vis
ited Portland, and they fancy the
city above ail on the coast, save
their home city, Pasadena. They
probably will. spend a month visit
ing back and forth out of Portland.
And it need cause no surprise if the
family eventually locate here.
- , ,
G. Neely, with hi wife and two
fine children, Billy, age 14, and
Donald, 10, came down from Yakima
with the intention of seeing as
much as possible In a trip of ten
days. So he is letting no tall grass
grow under - his feet or under his
machine, for his orchard will need
looking after by the time he should
get home. ,
.
From Redding, Cal., came Frank
Bucher and wife, out for a trip of
three or four weeks, half of which
time has about expired. Mr. Bucher
says he is Just a common, every
day hobo, but it looks like that is
Just another way of saying he is on
the retired list. Anyhow he and
his wife are very pleasant folk and
it would be fine for all if Mr. Bucher
would quit his romping around and
settle in Portland. We need a lot
of families of the Bucher stripe.
J. M. Hibbs, a broker, is on the
grounds with his big house car,
and with him, from Pasadena, are
J. W. Bayers and wife, in another
house car. Mr. Bayers is a farmer,
and while he claims not to be on
the retired list he takes no Interest
in the crops or weather, but is Just
taking things asy. The cars of
Messrs. Hibbs and Bayers are about
t as well equipped as any that have
thus far been at the grounds, liotn
machines will leave this morning
for Yellowstone National park, and
from there for San Diego.
. Not many, if any, cars have thus
far this , year visited the grounds
from Oklahoma, but there is now
one from Duncan, Okla., run by W.
E. Spears, who is accompanied by
nis wire ana live cnuorcn rttj,
Rutherford, Mildred, Billy and Jim.
The first four of these are old
enough to vote; Billy and Jim are
respectively 16 and 13. This party
travels in two cars. And with them
is a sisier of Mrs. Spears, Mrs. Fan
nie McElroy. The entire party is
interested in farming, and from all
appearances the Oklahoma soil has
been good t them. They may locate
anew, but think Portland is too close
to the ocean.
-
J. C. Hartley, Mrs. Hartley and
three children, Maria, 18; Eugene,
16, and John, 13, are at the park.
Mr. Hartley confesses to being a real
estate agent, which pursuit he has
followed for close to 30 years, his
location being in San Diego, Cal.
They have been up in British Co
lumbia, and will take in the Colum
bia River highway, then home.

commences only about a mile east
from the' Cowlitz river. The logs
will be dumped intc the CowMtz

This timber has ben owned by
the Munsons for many years and
some of it has been sold, the Os

years ago. Ten miles of railway
ultimately will be required to reach
all the company's . timber and this

officer in the United States navy.

persons victimized.

neck pieces was placed at from $5
on up to $30, with several full
length coats costing about $60. They

$250 each and are said to have been
skillfully dyed so as to be easily
deceptive to one not used to buy
ing furs.
