The climax of all these happenings -4 Moantl whvt a frantic Was .mytrr .,rt man rushed into the office of the life saTlnr station at Bar View, exclaiming- that a boat had g-one adrift Just inside the Tillamook bar and would probably Da fl riven mho the sand spits. The life-saTing erew was assembled, read- to drag the heayy life boat out Into the surf, when word was reeeiTed that all was well and that the appar ently wrecked craft had come safely in around the point. On other occasions, guests at the Bayocean Hotel had been horrified over reports of violence practiced by cer tain rough characters who took pos session of a cottage several miles down the point near Cape Meares. Queer in dividuals had been seen lounging about on the beach. The good people at Bay City and Garibaldi had been startled by incidents which might have- -Tead well in pirate stories. Air of Mystery Gcaeral. Boats have been seen to put off early in the morning for mysterious visit to deserted localities and to return after dark with cargo which hinted at lawlessness. Recently it was learned that this Is nothing more serious than a band of actors engaged In producing a series of moving-picture films. The compsny is said to be the first which has ever visited this section and its operations have been carefully guarded by the hotel management. The nature of the coast along Tillamook Bay, with its easily attainable stretches of exposed ocean shore, beach and rocky headlands, as well as the more quiet bay and the different industries located there, make this section. It Is said, unusually good for reproducing natural scenery in -connection .- with photo-plays. During the past few weeks, portions of two plays, the scenes of which are centered about a fishing village, have been reproduced, and the troupo is now working on another photo-play. Fish ing boats belonging to the different salmon fleets here, the fish houses, the homes of the people and even the peo ple themselves have been pressed Into service with excellent effect. The heavy surf over Tillamook bar provides an unusually good subject for studies in storm effect. The life-saving station at Bar View, . the fish bouses at Garibaldi, the little bay near ur.h.Ar.TUi. th hnmei at Bay City and the cottages along the Bayocean shore, have all been reprooucea in cuu nectlon with the photo-play work. -- r anA around Cape Meares lighthouse, something never before attempted, are di-oubui the films. Natives Impressed as "Snperm." An Interesting feature of the work, also, is, the use of actual fishermen and women' from the towns about the bay as "supers." Recently, guests from the hotel visited the beach Just north of Garibaldi to witness the operations there and wondered at the large com pany employed. They were still more astonished to discover that only a few of those enaraeea were actors and that many of the acting fishermen finally sailed away to the fishing grounds in pursuit of their regular business. In the case of these photo-play peo ple, the "man overboard" scene is cer tainly no "fake. for the man did fall fiVarhAir frnm a ral boat and W4I rescued with some difficulty. In this case the anxiety or tne excuea specxa tor wJjo rushed away to notify the life-saving station was not without some Justification. The departure of fishermen for the banks, their return laden with a good catch, spreading of nets and other incidents in the dally life of the people have been reproduced witn exactness. The work is being ,done by -'the im..fnn T.ifnffrnh . ' Comoanv. of Portland,, under the Erection ef L. E Moomar. with a company under the management of J. D.

Max Fracht. well known In Portland, has developed Into a practical horticulturist. He re sides near Asmana, jacKson i-ounu, where he . first came Into prominence as a successful peach eulturist. More recently he has produced a new variety of cherry, which Is pronounced by ex perts to be one of the best commercial varieties that is grown in the Pacific Northwest. This cherry In many re spects resembles the Bing, being large, firm and of exceptional flavor. tAt- Pruht sent a aamnle box of the fruit, which he has christened the Pracht Imperial, to his friend, i Phil Metschan, proprietor of the Imperial Hotel. The box arrived yesieraay. oui h tmand for "lust a taste" of the cherries was so great that the supply proved insufficient to so tne rounas. BLUE RIVER GROUP HOLDS HIDDEN RICHES Need for Smelter at Convenient Point in McKenzie Country of Oregon Is Imperative, Says Dan McAllen Portland Men Interested in District. BT DAN M'AIjIEN. BLUE RIVER, Or., July . (Special.) "See America first" Is a grand ides, but before deciding and mak ing arrangements for a Pullman in a south-bound train see Oregon first Here you will find sufficient to inter' est you during your vacation period. Talk about a trip to the beach scen ery along the Columbia but if you love nature in Its wildest and grandest aspects, come up here on the McKen zie River. But scenery, while I love it, is not what interests me now. It Is the mining district -in the Cascade Range between the McKenzie River and the Gallipoola River, commonly known among men as the Blue River group. Being Interested in the development of the state of Oregon and being well aware of what amount of attention is given to our mining district, I have made It my business to Investigate and secure information. I have talked with a great many people in this section on the subject and all are unanimous on one point that mining can be made profitable provided there was a smelter at some convenient point. Veterans Declare Need. What I say Is not my personal opin ion, as I am not a mining man. Among the men sp6ken to. was E. O. Poller, a veteran of 24 years" experience In Montana and Idaho, but the past six years In this district. Mr. Poller and his partner have a mine with a small stamp mill on It but they could not make It pay by free-milling process the values could not be saved. The Lucky Boy, owned by Portland people is mentioned as. valuable property but when you take into consideration the freight charges, there is not much left for the owners. v The same may be said of the Merger, rr.ov 131110 RirA. RaiI Raven. Great Northern, Davis Cinderella, Woods and Diamond, Poor Men- and nunareas oi others with equally good prospects that have been prospected by seasoned, practiced men. W. G. Nesmith, son of the late Senator Nesmith, is well ac quainted with the existing conditions and stakes his family name and per sonal reputation on the statement, that there Is sufficient ore in sight to de mand a smelter right on the ground or at Blue River. Six miles from the point or if lo cated at Springfield a few miles from TJ-ii rrnna 1-iT-O trfim ttlA SohflmU BIUO River and Santiam mines could be shipped there as it is central and most nAvAniAnt fnr ail thnRA Interested. John E. McCauley, brother of the late B. F. CcCauley. of Portland, wno nas been here for many years, owns valu able property. I have suggested to a J Ahu-A saaJ n.nnla in BTAt tO- gether and snow smelter people the amount of ore In sight avauaoie ior smelting purposes. In that way some thinir miv h done, something to devel op the properties. It this idea Is car ried out I can see the owners making a rich harvest aside from the millions that will be paid for labor. Literature' Is Needed. . TnrldAntallv. I mention that a stu dent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology asked me if there "were . n -,(-. in rraron And If convenient would be pleased to have literature. Complying with tne request, i canea &i the publicity department at the Cham-k- rnmmAi-.A .mild not secure the desired information as I was not there In time. Called at the commercial jiud r..iini certain that all Oregon re sources were well represented by rell- hlA Infnrmntlnn but lo and behold. nothing on mines! However, air, w u Ham. directed me to Jj. D. Mahone, with offices in the Yeon building, whore I found what I wanted. I fall to under stand why some people risk their lives by going to Alaska or some other for saken country in quest of gold when such valuable mining opportunities lie dormant at their door. I look for criticism of what I say but that is Just the point I want to bring out agitation through discussion ana exploitation of mining resources. Why not have a mining exhibit In some prominent location ground floor- front aisle I say why? Where I am can-mad the elevation Is over 4000 feet above the steamer Hassalo when she sits in her dignity at Oak street wharr, Portland. No need of taking a con stitutional walk in order to create an appetite. Sportsmen Are Invited. This is an ideal place for such men as Judge McGinn. Paul Deady or Harry Lewis, who take pleasure in donning a sweater or taking a hike out to Council Crest and back before breakfast Fol low up a miner along a winding trail on the steen sides of one of these moun tains for an hour. 'Twill loosen up the joints and take the kinks out of the back. I issue an invitation to sports men who. like to hunt and fish. Should anyone d'oubt that the McKenzie River Is known as the trout stream of Amer ica, ask Will Llpman. I find that Mr. Lipman is quite a favorite clear up to the bridge. One young lady asked me if I knew Mr. Llpman, of Portland. Told her he must be a newcomer, never heard of him. Huh, everybody knows better than that, and what's more he sure is a dandy fellow. Wish he and his chum would come "P here every week. The great social event of the season was the marriage of F. E. Litzenbery, prominent mining man to Miss Maude Walker, school marm. If there should be any school marm In Portland long ing for outdoor life, pure mountain air, mineral water with a liberal amount of arsenic and a wholesome mining man for a life companion, waste no time but come right along as there are as fine a bunch of huskies scattered along the hillside and all slmon pure Americans as can be found in any kind of industry on the American coast and continent. TtAfore dldestennlnar the mining ques tion let me impress on the minds of one and an tnat tnere is soraeiainz else needed here as well as a smelter Capital. I feel satisfied that the gold is here, it is In evidence at every mine and prospect. A word of advice to tourists pock etbook heavy balance of outfit on your back or in small grip.
