WOT ON A VACATION TRIP
fcpends Entire Morning In Transac
tion of Official Business Ex
cursion to Oregon City Is
Feature of Afternoon.
Of the Roosevelt type, with a capac
ity for hard work that is perhaps not
.ven surpassed by the President him-
se If. James R. Garfield. Secretary of the
Interior, is a man with a fund f in
formation at his finger tips which
amases older men. Those who have
seen him at his desk in Washington ex
press surprise that he can clear away
such a mass of business as comes to
him every day. He has a genius for
hard work and this is said to be his
greatest asset.
Secretary Garfield is an aggressive
man. with a square, prominent jaw that
belles his mild blue eyes. He is lithe
and spare and in condition, too, al
though he is 42 years old and has a
son half a head taller than himself, 15-year-old
John Garfield, who accom
panies bis father on the present trip.
While Commissioner of Corporations.
Mr. Garfield probed the beef trust and
the Standard Oil monopoly. He was
later made the head of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, in which he
did such good work as Commissionej of
Corporations, that when President
Roosevelt was looking for a good man
to succeed Secretary Hitchcock, of the
Interior Department, his choice was the
straight-limbed, athletic Garfield, the
essence of youthful energy.
This made Secretary Garfield the
youngest member of the President's of
ficial family and he is far from the
least aggressive. He has been earnestly
fit work ever since his appointment and
on his present trip trhough the West he
Is familiarizing himself with the work
of the reclamation and forestry service.
"This is no vacation," he said yes
terday, and it is easy to believe it after
realizing the amount of work that the
Secretary accomplishes during the day.
Hts Western tour will end in August in
"Yuma, Ariz., reputed to be the hottest
place on the American continent, so it
will be seen that it is no pleasure Jaunt
that President Roosevelt's young secre
tary Is making through the Western
states.
His Views on Irrigation.
"Irrigation is just coming into Its
own," said he yesterday. "We are be
ginning to understand the results of
this work. The projects I have seen
in the West speak for themaelves of
the value of the scheme of conserving
water and putting it on the thirsty soli
where it is most needed.
"Portland has made great progress
since I was here last, five years ago,"
he continued, "although it was then
a big city. The .possibilities here are
Immense and "the future is rich in
promises of what may be accomplished.

SECRETARY GARFIELD (AT THE LEFT OF THE PICTURE) TAKING AN AUTOMOBILE RIDE,
Portland's position Is highly advan
tageous and with the increase in the
number of irrigation projects and addi
tional lands made fertile, Portland will
profit to a very great extent. Nature
has done very much for this section
of the country."
Secretary Garfield end his party, con
sisting of Gifford Pinchot, Chief For
ester R. A. Ballinger, Commissioner of
the General Land office F. H. Newell,
Director of the Reclamation Bureau,
and W. J. McGee, Secretary of the In
land Waterways Commission, spent a
busy day yesterday. Soon after his ar
rival here at 7:30 A. M., the Secretary
plunged into official business and dis
patched a great quantity of waiting
routine. Visits -were made to the local
land office and the headquarters of the
reclamation service, where careful ex
aminations were made into many
matters that Secretary Garfield wants
to investigate.
At noon, the party gathered at the
residence of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe for
luncheon as the guests of Dr. and Mrs.
Coe. Those who attended were: James
R. Garfield, John Garfield. Gifford
Pinchot, R. A, Bailinger. F. H. Newell,
W. J. McGee, E. B. Piper, Senator
Fulton, Congressman Hawley, Con
gressman Ellis, Dr. Henry Waldo Coe,
R. R. Wood. During the luncheon, R.
R. Wood played selections on the pipe
organ in the Coe residence and after
luncheon, Wayne and Earl Coe ren
dered a violin and piano duet In a
charming style.
Soon thereafter. Assistant Superin
tendent Campbell, of the Chemawa In
dian School,, arrived with the Chemawa
Indian baud, which serenaded the Sec
retary and his party.
r See City From Automobiles.
Automobiles owned by J. C. Ainsworth.
Julius Meier and R. R. Wood took the
visitors for a ride about the city at 1:10
P. M. The Forestry Building was visited
and the men from Washington expressed
their admiration for the huge rustic struc
ture. Other parts of the city were seen
and the visitors then assembled at First
and Alder streets, where a special car,
provided by the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company, took the Secretary,
his subordinates and a few Invited guests
to Oregon City, where the locks were in
spected. The trip up was made in an open trailer
with the Chemawa Indian Band on board.
The return trip was made on launches
owned by R. ll and O.B. Prael, A. E.
Smith and Dr. Coe. The return trip
soon developed into an exciting race be
tween two fast motor boats, the Try
phosa, owned by A. M. Smith, and the
Andolette. owned by the Praels. The
latter boat Is said to be the faster and
Secretary Garfield, who was eager to get
back to Portland to attend to some more
of the Interminable business . that follows
him on his trip over the country, took 2
seat in the Andolette. The Tryphosa got
away from the Oregon City dock first and
led the Prael boat by a quarter of a mile
down the river.
The boats maintained their respective
places for several miles, the pilot of each
craft cutting corners and trying unchart
ed channels with daredevil carelessness
In the effort to win. The Andolette's en
gines commenced to limp near Milwaukie
and the boat waa put In at the Rock Is
land Club dock while a new spark plug
was inserted. This gave the Tryphosa
the race. .
Secretary Garfield enjoyed the sport
hugely. He frequently timed the for
ward boat to see If his craft was making
any gains. At the Rock Island Club it
was suggested that there would be time
to rest a bit on the club veranda and
get a glass of beer. PerhapB remember
ing the scandal aroused by Fairbanks'
cocktails. Secretary Garfield firmly de
clined the refreshment.
Willamette at Its Best.
The river lay dimpling and smiling In
the sun yesterday, just as If It had on
its best face in honor of Secretary Gar
field and his party.
"The Willamette is a beautiful river."
said the Secretary to Dr. Coe. "I know
of none more beautiful. Are you trou
bled with mosquitoes here?"
"'No mosquitoes at all." promptly an
swered Dr. Coe, and District Attorney
Bristol substantiated the statement. In
fact the latter was as full of information
as the proverbial megaphone man ,on
the "rubberneck" coach. If there was
anything- the visitors desired to know,
Mr. Bristol had the answer on the tip
of his tongue. Once or twice he dealt
out misfit answers and a few times he
was "stumped," but when this happened
he could always point oft the starboard
bow and shout. "Oh, did you see that
salmon jump? Must have been four feet
long. I'll bet he weighs 60 pounds."
"Speaking about opening the Colum
bia bar, I understand you are trying to
close the bars here in Portland," said
Secretary Garfield.
"Yes, you see that is on Sundays
only," said Mr. Bristol.
Kcminded of Boyhood.
On rounding a particularly beautiful
stretch of the river, the Oswego local on
Southern Pacific branch came creeping
through the trees along the river bank.
"Ah," said the' Secretary, "that re
minds me of my boyhood days. We
had just such engines as that and those
same passenger cars, ' too. Aren't they
cunning?"
District Attorney Bristol was speech
less for once. .
In discussing , the recent gathering at
Denver of those Interested in Govern
ment lands at the public lands conven
tion. Secretary Garfield said he believed
this gathering has done much good.
"It cleared the air and blew off the
foam," -said he, - "leaving - the way- open
for the future. While at the same time
the Government's policy was vindicated
