ENTIRE CITY INVTIED
TO INSPECT HIGHWAY
Ad Club Plans Monstrous La
; bor Day Outing Along Co-
lumbia Scenic Route.
MAYOR SUPPORTS MOVE
Tentative Arrangements Are Made
T and Low Rates Desired Co-operation
by All Organizations
Is Expected- In Project.
"Inspection day" of the . CoiumDla
River Highway will be observed by the
J'ortland Ad Club, Monday. September 6,
Labor day.
This is the decision reached by the
executive committee of the organiza
tion, and City Commissioner Baker,
president of the club, said yesterday
that tentative plans had already been
made for the big outing.
One of the features of the day will
be the dedication to the city of Benson
Park, the gift of S. Benson, and an In
spection of the city's parks at Crown
Point and Shepperd's Dell. It will give
thousands of Portland people their first
opportunity to note the ecenlc beauties
of portions of the 14,000 acres of land
along the highway set aside for recrea
tion purposes by the United States for
estry service.
Trip by All Citizens Proposed.
While the idea for the inspection day
Wong the highway by all citizens of
Portland who can go has been proposed
ky the Ad Club, it is the intention to in
vite clubs, societies and organizations
of all kinds in the city to join in the
trip.
Both Mayor Albee and Commissioner
Baker axe taking personal interest in
the Labor day inspection of one of the
world's greatest scenic attractions.
"When on the highway a week ago with
Chief Forester Graves, of the United
States Forestry Service, Mayor Albee
eald that some opportunity should be
given Portland people to inspect its
beauties.
While thousands are expected to be
on the highway in automobiles on Labor
day, the Ad Club will take up at once
the question of transportation by
Bteamer and railroad. It is hoped to
secure low fares for the round trip in
order that thousands of people can
epend the day aicng the Columbia
River.
Walk Along; Highway Proposed.
One of the plans of the Ad Club is to
have the boat and train schedules so
worked out that people may leave the
train at one point on the highway,
walk several miles, having their lunch
at some of the falls or mountain
streams and board a train for home at
another point on the highway, where
the great roadway is near the tracks
of the O.-W. Ft. & N. Ry.
Co-operating with the Ad Club, will
be the Chamber of Commerce and other
organizations interested in the exploit
ation of the road from a scenic stand
point. Persons leaving for the highway
on early trains will have ample time to
climb some of the mountains for a view
from the great cliffs along which the
highway extends in many places.
The Benson trail at Gordon Falls,
now called Wahkenna, will be open for
inspection for some distance. Also the
' Larch Mountain trail leading out from
Multnomah Falls. The various chalets
along the highway ' will provide
food for those who wish to take long
hikes, and innumerable picnic grounds
are scattered along the highway for
the entire distance.
Picnic Groands Kxcellent.
Kagle Creek, 44 miles from Portland,
Included in the 14.000 acres withdrawn
by the Forestry Service for recreation
purposes, will provide excellent pic
nic grounds for the day for hundreds of
automobile parties. Fishing is good,
water is plentiful and the land extends
back more than three miles from the
highway through the heart of a beau
tiful and unbroken forest.
"The Ad Club has always been prom
inent in all movements for better roads
and it is fitting the organization should
be back of 'Inspection day,' on Septem
ber 6," said Commissioner Baker yester
day. "We want everyone in Portland
to see the highway," he continued,
"Those who do not own automobiles
will be in a position to reach the beauty
spots along the highway by boat or
train. We will arrange for low round
trip fares for the day on a schedule
that will give all ample time to visit
the principal points of scenic interest.
"Thousands of tourists who will visit
the highway this year will return to
their homes in the east and Middle
West, enthusiastic about the wonderful
scenery from the highway. Everyone
In Portland should be familiar with the
highway, as well as all of our attract
ive parks and scenic boulevards in or
der that they may write about its won
ders to friends and relatives in other
parts of the country.
Co-operation la Asked.
"Labor day, a general holiday, will
otter an ideal time for the general in
spection of the highway by everyone
in Portland and the Ad Club hopes to
have the co-operation of all to make'
"Inspection day' the greatest outing in
the city's history."
Committees from the Ad Club will
begin at once the great task of plan
ning all the details for the day's out
ing. Boat and train schedules must be
arranged for the greatest convenience
of the thousands who will, no doubt,
make the trip. The co-operation of all
organizations will be requested at once
and the members of the Ad Club will
work hard the next few weeks to make
"Inspection day" of the Columbia River
Highway an outing in which the whole
City of Portland will take part.
CITY MAY TRADE FOR SITE
Cliapman-Street Property Offered
for Fire Station Strip.
The City Council will consider a
proposal made by Percy H. Blythe to
trade a strip of ground near Morrison
and Chapman streets for the site now
occupied by the Are station at Sixteenth
and Washington streets. The Sixteenth
street station-house has to be partially
removed on account of the east wall
extending over on adjoining property
which does not belong to the city.
It has been recommended that the
city instead of trying to patch up the
present building remove it and build
a new one. Mr. Blythe is willing to
make a swap of lots and it is possible
negotiations will be entered into

UNDERWOOD DISTRICT IS
RIVAL OF BAR LE DUC
Berries Ripen Earlier and More 'Profusely Than Elsewhere in Mid-Columbia
Irrigation Not Needed Because of Streams Underground.

H
OOD RIVER. Or., July 24. (Spe
cial.) "It should be called the
Bar le Due of America"; such was
the comment of a much-traveled woman
on coming to the Underwood district
of the mid-Columbia region. Only a
short time before viewing- the currant
and gooseberry tracts in the fruit sec
tion of Southeastern Skamania County,
Washington, the visitor had traveled
along theOrnain River, In France. She
had seen thefamous Bar le Due Jellies
prepared for the world's epicures, and
had gone over the berry and currant
fields of the Valley of the Meuse.
And though the Underwood district
is one of the youngest of the North
west's fruit districts, it is becoming
well known for the especially fine
quality of its berries. The Underwood
housewife never lacks for fine jellies
with which to tempt the appetites of
guests. The housewives of the neigh
boring cities have learned to call for
currants and gooseberries from Under
wood, and the returns from the berry
tracts, although now limited, bring a
handsome profit to the growers.
District Primarily for Apples.
As are the other fruit districts of
the Underwood community. Underwood
is primarily an apple district. In the
past seven or eight years hundreds
of acres have been claimed from the
forests and set to commercial vari-,
ties. Shipments of high-grade fruit in
carload lots are now being made each
season. But on account of the topog
raphy of the country, it has been found
that the small fruits demanding warm
sunshine can be grown better in Under
wood than in the adjoining districts.
The region slopes gently back to the
range of mountains that extends in a
spur down from Mount Adams, and
thus a southern exposure. Underwood
strawberries are always ripe before
those of Hood River, and on account
of the uniform warm days and a pro
tection from the strong west wind that
Is cut off by Underwood Mountain ris
ing at the west of the district, melons
grow well there. Some of the Under
wood farmers have even grown fine
T-tiuality casaba melons. This warmth
tends to produce also an excellent
peach, and the growers have found it
profitable to plant peach fillers . be
tween their apple trees.
The Underwood district is located
between the mouths ' -of ' the White
Salmon and the Little White Salmon
rivers. Irrigation, because of the many
streams of water foung but a short
distance under the surface of the earth,
is not found necessary. The water, ap
parently of glacial source, may " be
found in generous quantities at a depth
of but four or five feet. Many of the
farmers have dug to these subterra
nean streams and made excavations for
milkhouses.
I ndfrirood Develops Quickly. .
Because of the healthful climatic
conditions and the appeal to the home
seeker who wishes a' scenic environ
ment. Underwood has developed quick
ly, its new residents for the most part
having formerly lived in some one of
the Northwestern cities. Numerous for
mer Seattle people reside there, and

others are developing orchards, to
which they expect to retire later. ' A
score or more of former Portland res
idents are located there now, raising
apples, peaches, gooseberries and cur
rants. Handsome, rustic bungalow ' homes
rear themselves along every highway.
ine region is adapted to most all the
riowerlng shrubs and plants, and many
fine flower gardens may be seen. The
woodlands that have been saved from
the forests are all filled with the trior I -
ous wild flowers'that are so attractive
irom early Spring until late Fall, when
the dogwood tree. In Spring a gorgeous
mass of white bloom, takes on a coat
or deep red.- In Fall, too, the hills,
which in springtime show the perfume
laden bloom of mock orange, are cov
ered with a golden coat of vine maple.
Knrmera Satisfied With Lot,
In no other, fruit district is found
more contentment than among the fruit
rarmers or the Underwood district
xney nave prontea oy the small area
and have developed the community and
co-operative spirit in every phase of
their daily life. Naturally, as one
would "expect, they "have organized a
fruitgrowers! union to dispose to the
best advantage of their apples and
small fruits. This selling machine is
now jointly allied with that of White
faaimon. the neighboring Washington
district. The Underwood . residents
nave organized along effective co
operative plans for school purposes. forJ
road building and for the construction
of an edifice in which the members of
the Lnderwood Union Chapel Associa
tlon may . worship.
'This religious organization, duly in
corporated, is unique. Realizing that
they were so divided into the different
denominations that it would be impos
sible for any one to erect or maintain
a church, the union plan was effective
ly developed. Practically every family
is affiliated with the organization. It
makes no difference to what religious
views tne member conforms, he is wel
come to worship at the recently-con
structed little church, built of logs and
located In a bit of virgin forest in the
midst of the happy : people. In fact,
one may be a member of the organiza
tion without professing any religion.
Good Koodi Abound.
For the past year the Underwood
people have been interested in better
roaos more man in any other one
question. Their supervisors have been
busy grading and dragging the high
ways connecting their own neighbor
hoods, and with the assistance of state
aid, trunk lines have been constructed
through to adjoining districts. For
merly the road leading lown Into the
valley of the Little White Salmon from
the Underwood Heights was of such a
grade as to be a terror to motorists.
The steep grade has been eliminated,
and it is now possible to travel down
to Stevenson,, the county seat of Ska
mania County, with comfort.
The Underwood people are clamor
ing to be connected with the outside
world. It is their .dream to have a
scenic boulevard along the North Bank

SoThey're Busy Trying to Knock Me, AreThey?
If You'll Please Sit Down Here With Me for Ten Minutes, I'll Show You All There Is to It, and You'll
See Plainly Why These Hungry San Francisco Branch-House Men and Tacky Factory Branch Con
cerns and Consignment Agencies Cannot Afford to Let You
Also Find Things Exactly as I'm Telling Them.
It beats anything you ever heard of how some of these
hungry representatives or should' I say misrepresentatives?) of
San, Francisco concerns and tacky factory branches and con
signment agencies try to poison the minds of people nowadays.
A few years ago when money came easy, such crude tactics
may have occasionally rushed a person; into making a deal, but
I can't think of anyone now who'd take such crude and venomous
attacks upon me and ' this stock and upon Mr. Holt and the
Holt Piano Company seriously and permit himself or herself
to be misled by them. .11 I say is, don't be in a hurry. Inves
tigate compare, study, ask questions and weigh the answers.
Let all statements, or rather misstatements, be proven. It's a
shame that the piano business, a fine high-class business pur- '
suit, should be degraded to the level of, wallowing in dirt and
filth.
I realize sales are scarce. I realize, too, that a lot of these
fellows cannot openly and fairly compete with a proposition
such as this when in order to keep the firm afloat we have
to take, and are willing to take, less than what these beautiful
instruments cost us to lay down in your home. But business
is business. If a salesman or would-be salesman works on a
commission basis and cannot make a sale honorably by show
ing his own wares, I claim he shouldn't permit himself to fall
so low as to misstate facts and attack a fair competitor in trade
with whom he finds it impossible to honorably compete.
I'd go into some other business or hire out as a harvest
hand before I'd resort to that kind of dirty work. I hope I may
not have occasion to call attention to it again, but if I do 111
publish the green-eyed individuals' names and their, firm names
and their low-down stories. See if I don't.
I ve tried to tell of this situation in a straightforward, definite way. and
people are quickly finding out that what I say Is so. You ought to see the
houseful of people who are picking out their pianos here now. and you ought
to see the bunch of money they actually save in their purchases. Take my
word for It, these pianos are going- to be sold, becau.se I'm giving away more
than half of each. The banks are full of. money, times will soon again be
brisk and there are thousands of homes that actually and. urgently need Jut
what I have to offer now.
I've frequently stated the various causes for this genuine sacrifice of pi
anos. Let me merely say now that we are facing a serious condition, it's a
desperate situation. What Is really interesting is the saving. These are good
pianos, mind you, and the best kind of player-pianos.
I might write here all day, but that would not have half the influence as
one glance at this stock and these prices. So please come and see: see the
brand new upright pianos at only $145. It's no use to try to tell about them,
and if you are not interested enough to come and see, what's the use?

Featured among the Sousa compo
sitions will be "The Pathfinder of Pan

the exposition, but. of course, during
the four concerts Sousa will endeavor
to Introduce all the old favorites.
Sousa is thoroughly alert to every
innovation In the world of mii.tc. Who
but a Sousa would l,.tve dared to com
pose "Impressions at the Movies."
which will be given during the Sunday
afternoon concert? It Includes "The
Musical Moke." "The Crafty Villain
and the Timid Maid" and "The Cabaret
Uancers." Sousa says that lie composed
his movie impressions after passing day
after day In the most lurid of the New
York Fast Side picture houses.
This Is Sousa's Sd annu.tl tour. Five
times he has traveled round the globe.
It Is six years since be played In Port

While Sousa draws from the world of
music with lavish hand, it la undoubt
edly true that the distinctive Sousa
compositions attract In the main his
average audiences.
Among these distinctive Sousa com
positions in the four concerts are: Suite,
"Impressions at the Movies": overture.
"The Charlatan": character studies,
"nwellers in the Western World";
march. "The Pathfinder of Panama":
suite. "Looking Upward"; scenes his
torical. "Sheridan's Hide"; suite. "The
American Maid."
While not on the programme, the
older and better-known Sousa numbers
probably will be introduced as encores.
