Williams Collects Remark-able Scenic Views of the Lower Columbia and Its Mountains for New Volume He Is Writing. "G 1 UNNING for photographs?" That waa the answer given yesterday by John H. Williams, the Tacoma author and publisher, for merly of this city, lo a question re garding hia mission In Portland. He Is on the scene of noteworthy photo graphs of the Lowr Columbia and Its mountains. Hood. Adams and St. Helens, with other Importsnt features of Portland's splendid scenic district. These sre to Illustrate another moun tain book, a volume that will be a companion to Its author's unique work. "The Mountain That Waa 'God.' " which is well known to Portland lovers of beautiful books. The title of the new book will be "The Guardians of the Columbls." It Is due for publica tion early In the Spring. xot all sorts of pictures of this river and mountain region is Mr. Williams" seeking, nor beautiful pictures alone, but pli-tures that tell a story of the majestic Columbia and Its three snow peaks. His hurt has been wonder fully successful. An Oregonlan rep resentative who examined his collec tion yesterday found more than 400 selected views, the cream of the work of the picture-taken who have pho tographs that may fit Into the acheme of the forthcoming book. A score of Portland photographers. professional and amateur, have been drawn on. and the hunt Tias reached many other towns Id the Northwest, as well as far-away Boston. New York and San Francisco. And the picture-hunter Is still "gun ning for photographs." The fascination of the sport, as well aa Its purpose, was described by Mr. Williams. Asaatesira Are Larky "Nothing more absorbing can be Imagined." he said. "The delight of stamp-gathering or collecting old china, rare books, or empty bottles of uncanny shape pale beside the Inter est of assembling great pictures of great scenery. One finds, after mora or less of a search, a photograph which tells with clear detail of aome bit of Oregon or Washington landscape, and and which seems almost unsurpassable. He does not stop here, however, but continues the hunt; perhaps-he may find a still more truthful picture. Sometimes he succeeds In quarters hardly suspected. Successful photog raphy Is not all a matter of knowledge and experience- It Is often a thing of luck, and luck falls to the amateur or the village photographer as well as the city expert. It depends upon many accidents of atmosphere, position and light. The only good picture which, to my knowledge, has been taken of an avalanche on any American moun tain was the hsppy fortune of young Lea Bronson. armed with a snap-shot camera, who caught his prixe quite unexpectedly while photographing the head of the great Carbon glacier on Mount Tacoma, or Rainier, as my friend Will Steel Insists It must be called. In spite of President Taft. "Some persons lmsglne that a photo graph, being the work of the most ex pert of all printers, the sun, must be a record of fact. Nothing could be further from the truth. Photographs are the worst of all nature-fakers. Mind me, I don't say photographers. Of course, there are fakers smong the photographers, but I understand that none of them live in Portland. Over on the Sound I heard of an expert who produced, and a newspaper that print ed, photograph showing a certain can didate addressing a mob of voters. There were hundreds In the crowd. The newspaper organ of the opposing candidate had taken a census of that meeting, however, and it published the total attendance, including five police men, as !7! Mouatala Feats Many. "But that was deliberate faking, the combination of two negatives to pro duce one picture. There are, however, a variety of tricks which the sun itself plays upon the sensitised plate that might lead us to believe Old Sol the founder of the Ananias Club. Nowhere Is he so trl-ky as In mountain pho tography, where the photographer's problem Is the hard one of 'reproduc ing a dark foreground In combination with the dazxllng whiteness of distant snow and Ice. It Is only of recent years. Indeed, that photography haa been able to solve this problem. For merly a mountain picture was made from a photograph of the lowlands with the snow-peak sketched In, and the whole then rephotographed. Today, even the amateur may achieve a' mas terpiece. If he has a good lens, a sense of 'composition. and the right wea ther. -Thus It fell to the luck of a Ta coma boy. George Caesar, to obtain what many regard a the greatest mountain picture yet taken In this country, a view of North Mowlch glacier in the Rainier National Park. Among the fine photographs which I : have collected of Mount Hood, Mount St- Helens and Mount Adams, some of the most desirable, because the most truthful, have been taken by Portland amateurs, such as L. C. Henrlchsen. Rodney L. Glisan. A. M. Grllley. H. J. Thorne. William R. King. George F. Holman and other members of the Camera end Mazama clubs. One very remarkable view, showing the snowy summits of Mount Adams and Mount Tacoma rising out of a sea of cloud, was taken on the summit of St. Helena at T o'clock of an August evening by clever San Francisco amateur, Mrs. Parsons. This is a reminiscence of the perilous climb of the Mazama In 1909. While no flawles picture could have been taken 'at that hour. It Is so good that, under the circumstances. It must be regarded a one of the feats of American photography. No profes sional haa surpassed It." It must not be Imagined, however that Mr. Williams' new volume will be all pictures. These sre designed to Il lustrate a text covering. In compact fashion, the history and legends of the Lower Columbia conntry. especially the Indian lore of the mountain, together with a description of the peak them selves, and such Information as tour ists may require In finding their way from this city to the different points mentioned. It will Include a succinct chapter by an expert on the forests of the Columbia. In short, the new book Is to be, as "The Mountain That Was 'God'" Is. an elaborately Illus trated guide book of about 150 pages nd more than that number of views, a book to attract tourists to the scenic wonderland of the Northwest. "The difference will be." said Mr. Williams, "that the proposed book will have, about one-fourth as much text as the usual scenic book put out to in terest travelers, and about four tlmea as many illustration. The text will touch only the high spot of history, legend and scientific description, and will leave the story of actual acenery to be told mainly by the pictures and their sufficient underlines.' A fine photograph, with an accurate descrip tion calling attention to the several landmarks shown In it. will often tell more about a great glacier, a deep canyon or a far-reaching landscape, than pages of so-called word-painting.' "I undertook this book at the sug gestion of Portland booksellers, hotel men and tourist experts. In order to make the most attractive and useful volume possible, I have scoured the country for satisfactory views. Some parts of this scenic district have been" well photographed: others much neg lected. There are 100 fine pictures of the Eliot glacier on Hood, for example, but I have found almost nothing good of the Sandy. Little Sandy and Newton Clark glaciers. Persons having photo graphs of the less visited sides of these three peaks can aid me greatly if Jhey will communicate with me at Tacoma. My aim is to exhibit these mountains in sufficient detail to enable the reader to recognize their distinctive features. Mountains have character of their own. Just like people. I want to show It. Work Requires Years. "To photograph such a region well Is a work of many years and many men. It Is impossible to. send out a photographer for a Summer or two, and then hope to make a satisfactory book out of the result. The good mountain photograph la often a matter of a Aeck or month of waiting for weather. Hence I am seeking the best work of all the photographers who have taken successful pictures In this region. I shall have a hundred views or more that have never before been published. Some of them have surprised even such a hardened collector os myself. On the other hand, some familiar master-pieces of photography will be used because they are the best pictures of the thing they show. No one has ever Improved upon Welster's views of the summit of Hood, or on Klser's reflection of Mount Adams In Trout Lake; and It would be folly to show such scenes by inferior pictures simply because the better ones have been printed in some magazine or Coast newspaper. Such photographs as Gifford's fine three pictures will be valuable a century hence, aa record of the great forest of the Northwest. These pictures are as permanent In value as an oil painting, and they can not be Ignored by any one who would show our country at Its best. But o rapid la the progress of photography that the great majority of the views selevted have been taken within the last two or three years. Thirty or more photographers will be represented In the book. "Portland has a large number of un usually successful photographers, both professional and amateur." Mr. Wil liams concluded, "and with the gener ous assistance ' and counsel they are giving me I hope to have the best col lection that can be made at this time. In only one case ha any one tried to hold me up. and In that, fortunately. I was able to get a better picture else where at a reasonable price. This was an amusing Illustration of the lack of humor which afflicts even some pho tographers. The youthful amateur carefully explained that he waa in pho tography as an artist and for art's sake, not to make money like an ordi nary, vulgar commercial photographer; and then he said he wanted $25 each for any of his prints I might need. It was an artistic 'touch,' for sure." Society N ews and Notes (Contlaued From Pace 4.) bridal party and guests.
