We attended tha President's recap
tion la honor of tha J5th annlreraary
of bl. weddlnr and enjoyed II very
much. It waa e.ld by all of the Wash
ington papers to hav. been the most
brilliant affair of the kind that had
ever taken place In Wa-hinrton. We
met John fcarrett and M. and Mrs. J.
K. Lathrop. former Orcronlans. at the
reception. I called upon President Taft
and bad a very Interestlnr but. of
course, a very short visit with him. He
remembers Portland very kindly and
asked about ..vera! of tha prominent
cltisan. bare. Tha corrldora were
thronred with Con fressmen. Senators,
foreirn dlplomata. etc. so that every
one-e visit le necessarily short. I hap
pened to be present when tha Jewish
rabbi of Jacksonville. Fla made a pres
ent of a marnlflcent silver service to
President and Mr.. Taft on behalf of
the Jawa of Jacksonville.
Krnale Debate Heard.
We also enjoyed irreatly tha debates
In tha Senate upon the question of reci
procity. We heard Senators Root, of
New Vork; Piron of Montana. Nelson of
Minnesota. Crawford and Oronna, of the
Dakota.. John Sharp William, of Mis
sissippi. Reed of Missouri, and last but
not leaat, Itallay of Teaae. There are
many people who question Senator
Bailey's sincerity, and even ro so far
aa to say that ha la allied with what
are known aa "the Intereats." It this
Is true. It la a pity, but whether 11 Is
true or whether It Is simply tha ott
srrlr.r of the lylnr mind of some muck
raker. I do not pretend to say. but no
one ran listen to tha debate. In the Sen.
ate lonr without percelvlnr that ao far
aa ability la concerned he I. by far the
blest man In tha United Stater Senate.
He I. In a claaa by blm.elf. and If he 1.
tied up In an alllanoe with Standard Oil
or tha other rreat Interests, It Is too
bad. because he baa the ability to ren
der rrcat service, to hi. country. Reed,
the new Senator from Missouri. Im
pressed me also a. a very ready de
bater. Senator Root Is a very abla
man. but bl. arrument sounds a srood
deal like a mathematical demonstration
In reometry. In the House we heard
the free wool bill discussed by Victor
M unlock, of Kansas, and a few others,
but were not ao well entertained as la
the Senate.
From here wa went to Baltimore, and
thence to Philadelphia. Wa were fortu
nate enoug-h to ee both Philadelphia
team, tha Athletic, on the 3M and the
V.H...I. tk. tlil On tha 14th of
June we went to Atlantic City, and on
tha ltb to New York, followlnr tke
Shore road up to Perth Amboy and than
croaalnr over to Staten Island. While
thara we were araln fortunate enourh
to see both the New Tork teams la
action.
Boat Rare Seen.
From tbere we went to New Haven,
and thence to New I-omlon to see tha
boa traces between Tale and Harvard.
Thl. wa. one of tha moat brilliant
!rhta that I have erer seen. There
were literally hundreds of yachts, and
they were beautifully decorated with
fiajt. of all nations and with all dif
ferent colors and varieties of buntlnr
Imaginable. The river wa lined with
thousand, of automobiles, most of them
rally decorated. There waa a Oovarn

Rooms Are Attractive.
Beautiful rooms, completely fur
nished, and thoroughly home-like bear
witness to tn philanthropy of msny
ber.burg. From ther on to Oetty.burg
It Is very fine. From Oetty.burg to
Ilarrlaburg It Is lndlftarent. Going aouth
from Gettysburg to Washington the
road Is fin all th way
fir miles, and they ar. Improving; that
so that It will be In good shape next
year. From Washington to Baltimore
the road is good and from Baltimore to
Philadelphia, through Maryland nd
Delaware, the road la good. After you.
trlk th Pennsylvania Hn it Is not so
From Philadelphia to Atlantlo City
and from Atlantic City up the Coast
road to Perth Amboy. tha roads ar
slmplx delightful. You can r,d"
mile, an hour without
slightest Jar. Around Nw York City,
eastward through Connecticut, Rhode
Island, the roads ar very good, and in
Massachueett ther are simply grand.
From Boeton to Albany, N. T- tha road
Is as good as any of our good streets,
except when you are passing through
village, where streetcar tracks or
.om.thlng of that Te
road from Albany to Buffalo Is all
good, with the exception of soma JO or
II miles, which Is being torn up for
tha purposo of being improved. This
Is pretty rough and eome places we bad
to make detours, but next year It will
ba splendid. Tha road from Buffalo to
Cleveland Is good except In a few
places. .
W were extremely fortunate with
our machine, a Whit 40, having only
65 cents expense of the car proper. e
started with six tires and finished
with them, although soma of them ar
pretty well worn out Wo had three
blowouts and five punctures. H a
traveled 4700 mile and used 31 gal
lons of gasoline, making 14 miles to
th gallon. We carried a trunk and
thre suitcases and three passengers as
far as Ham. burg. After that we had
four passengers and four suitcases be
sides the trunk.
Harmon Boom IoclineB.
Th most notloeabl thing-, polit
ically, to m was th decline of the
boom for Governor Harmon for tha
Democratlo nomination for President.
Six months or a year ago it looked as
though he would b th nominee. Now
the feeling in his favor seems to have
died out. so far as one can judge from

CONVICTS TO HELP
Governor Promises Aid for Mt.
. Hood Highway.
BUSINESS MEN GIVE CASH
30 'Citizens to Subscribe $600 Each
to Fund for Macadam Road to
Peak Speedway Not Intend
ed, Mr. Clemens Declares.
Indicative of the prominence at
tained by the good road, movement is
the co-operation, backed by substantial
financial aid, extended by the civic or
ganizations and business men of Port
land to the campaign conducted by the
Portland Automobile Club for a fund to
construct a macadamized highway from
I Portland to Mount Hood.
Governor West has been petitionea
by W. J. Clemens, president of the
auto club, to furnish convicts to sup
plement the crew working on the drive
way connecting Porland with Mount
Hood, and has given assurance that he
will accede to the request when the
club advises that the fund has reached
sufficient proportions to guarantee
proper care and maintenance ot tne
prisoners. It is the intent of the di
rectors of the club to continue their
exertions in behalf of the Mount Hood
road until a perfect boulevard is cre
ated up beyond the timber line, among
the living glaciers and snow fields of
the mighty peak itself.
The preliminary work of widening
the thoroughfare and blasting stumps
is progressing rapidly, and it is ex
pected that before the Winter rains in
terfere substantial improvements will
have been made, and the roadbed put
in shape to withstand the deleterious
effect of wet weather traffic, so that
when work Is resumed in the Spring
the foundation will be found practical
ly unimpaired.

of the promised co-operation of 3"
prominent citizens, each of whom will
give $600. They will form a commit
tee, including three representatives of

and F. C. Riggs. to Interview the busi
ness men of the city and tell them
what the Mount Hood road means in
the way of business Increases snd as a
magnet to attract tourists.
Road Not Speedwav.
"The fact that the Portland Automo
bile Club is behind the movement to
develop the Mount Hood highway has
given rise to the opinion, In some quar
ters, that an opportunity is being
sought to build at public expense a
.speed track upon which motorists may
scorch to their hearts' delight, imperil
ing the lives and property of those who
traverse the road to and from the me
tropolis on business or for pleasure,"
said President Clemens.
"The board of directors of the Auto
mobile Club wish It distinctly under
stood that they are actuated solely by
a desire to further the interests of
Portland, and have concentrated their
efforts on the Mount Hood road simply
because It appeals to them as a won
derful opportunity to link Portland per
manently with the majestic peak that
is so intimately associated with the
city's history and fame. Furthermore,
the club has declined the offer of prop
erty owners who have large holdings
and have proffered rights-of-way to
construct a speed-pike for automobiles
exclusively, extending in the direction
of Mount Hood, although embracing
territory differently situated to that in
which the present, route Is established.
"As Mr. Wemme's subscription is con
tingent on the club's raising at least
$50,000 within 90 days. Its officials are
eager to secure the necessary amount
In cash or signed subscriptions before
the expiration of that time, and with
renewed vigor are determinedly striv
ing to win for the fund this much
needed $5000. An opportunity will bo
given those who wish to aid to sign
up for a certain amount payable In in
stallments, and no subscription, even
though It he small, will be unwelcome.'
CHRIST'S COMING AWAITED
Evangelist Says Date Is Not Set bul
Appearance Is Certain.
While we are not setting a time foi
Christ's coming, because we do not
know the time, yet we know from a
study of the Bible that his coming is
near " said Evangelist Luther Warren
in his sermon at the big tent at Thir
teenth and Morrison streets last night.
"Tomorrow night we will prove frorc
Christ's own words that there are per
sons in the world 80 and 90 years old
who will actually see Christ at his per
sonal, literal coming."
The speaker then said the sanctuary
built by the Jews under the direction
of Moses was a type of a sanctuary in
heaven. With the aid of charts he ex
plained the round of ceremony of the
tabernacle, saying that it was a type
of Christ and his work.
He took up the prophecies of Dan
iel, and the reference to the sanctuary
