; -Tt been a booster for this part of
J the Cnlted States since my first visit
ito the northwest four years tgo." said
'Miss JIarguerite A. Salomon of New
hork city, formerly manager of the
itravel and recreation bureau of The
.Outlook, and who has recently returned
from a year's sojourn in Japan, where
;sh went to study conditions. Miss
Salomon Is a guest at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. William McMurray.
"PortlsT?. especially, and the Colum
bia river hlrhway have been two of the
Jnoit dellKhtful and most satisfactory
pots In the whole country to suggest
,to prospective tourists." she said. "You
-have here great posslbiltles for a
'steady and Increasing tourist business,
bat. unfortunately, at present the lack
ef enough accommodations for the
crowds who might come Is a handicap,
i Mt experience as head of a travel
bureau In Nor Tork. telling easterners
where to go. enables me to say that
yon have a great deal of advertising
till to do to turn attention toward the
Pacific northwest Now. especially. Is
th psychological time to work at this.
and work hard. Because oeiors long
you will have Europe as your greatest
competitor.
Euros After Tewrlstsv
! "Since the beginning of the war rep
resentatives of the largest tourist re
sorts In Europe have been In America
making plans for the af ter-the-war
crowds which they expect from this
country. Their attention has been di
rected toward teachers, who have here
tofore made up the great bulk of sum
mer tourists to the continent. Teachers
have vacations of sufficient length and
usually have the funds for extensive
trips.
-The Canadian Pacific railroad for
several years has had an Intensive bill
board and advertising campaign In the
east. In New Tork particularly, with
huge Illustrations of their various re
sorts. These have proved very effect
ive, and It would seem to me that the
same thing could be done for the Pa
cific northwest. Tou need to do more
general advertising. The Columbia
river highway, one of the most beauti
ful things in this country, is only
known to what might be termed a
handful in the east.
. Before you advertise extensively you
ned to build hotels and accommoda
tions. So far as I can see this problem
oould be met very simply. I should
think a system of cabins, or chalets,
would be practical. They could be
economically built, the material is right
n the ground, and they are In fact
merely glorified log cabins, plain but
comfortable; and a chain of these, es
pecially in the Mount Hood region,
would be used very extensively. I
should think. With the completion of
the new highway around Mount Hood.
which will be opened In the next year
or so. a group of these chalets would
be quite necessary.
k Highway Hotels Needed.
.' "There should be at least one hotel.
If not two. on the Columbia river high
way. This would give tourists an op
portunity fully to enjoy this beauty
a rot. As It is at present tourists usu
ally spend but part of a day on a hur
ried trip over the road and do not have
an opportunity to learn anything about
the wonderful trails that lead from the
highway, nor have they an Idea of the
many beautiful waterfalls that are not
visible from the road Itself."

TOMATOES ARE ALL SOLD
INITIAL SHIPMENT OF ARMY
t SURPLUS DEPLETED.
City
Officials Will Endeavor
Bring Other Goods Here
in Near Future.
Portland's initial shipment of surplus
army tomatoes was but a memory last
night. Following the Saturday rush of
bargain-seekers, the three stores that
had contracted to hsndle the carload
found the stock all but exhausted, and
many housewives clamoring lor tneir
supply.
Officials of the purchasing depart
nsent of the city, through whom th
army goods were brought to Portland,
were more than pleased with the
prompt manner In which residents RAINIER
availed themselves of the opportunity
te obtain first-class merchandise at a
saving of 19 cents per can. and ar
rangements now will be made to bring
other commodities here for sale In a
similar manner.
The tomatoes consigned to the Meier
Sk Frank store were disposed of before
noon, while the stock of Simon Bros.
More was badly depleted, and the same
was true at the Olds, Wortman & King
msicurated under which each purchaser I Rainier on
was listed ana numoerea. to prevent
Jie sale of more than one case to each.

Oregon thoroughly from beginning to
end. and Major Campbell deciared that
the officers here would place every fa
cility within reach of the committee
and aid it In every way possible. It
was not known who would be called

who have held responsible positions in
connection with Mpruce production in

the committee and one of the most
widely known cltlxens of Wisconsin,

Warden Shoemaker and Marlon Jack,

Portland Dealers Declare That Only
In Instances of Late Changes Will
Difficulty Be Experienced.
That there will be plenty of text
books on hand to supply the schools of!
Portland and elsewhere in Oregon
when the public schools open In Sep
tember, was the declaration of Port
land dealers yesterday when asked
about the report that a shortage was
threatened. Dealers reported them
selves as never better supplied, snd the
books will be handled this year as usu
al through contract entered into by the
state with eastern publishing firms.
William Tansing, head of the educa
tion department of the J. K. Gill com.
pany. declared yesterday that there was
no danger or a shortage oi text dooks.
Regarding the city public schools he
stated there was no possibility of
shortage because of the fact that the
same books as last year are being
used with no changes. In some sec
tions of the state where new books
had been decided upon at a late date
this spring, Mr. Tansing acknowledged
there was possibility of delay in re
ceiving the books, owing to pressure of
work at the publishing concerns.
Under the arrangements made by
the state school authorities, text books
are contracted for with the eastern
publishing firms and the Oregon Job
bers and retailers act as distributing
agents. It was declared there was
little danger of the books not being
distributed, as a large number of or
ders have already been placed and
shipments have already gone from
Portland Jobbers to a large number of
the Oregon towns.

you should go now. Your teeth need attention and you
know it, but you hesitate, you procrastinate and you keep
away just as long as you can stand it?
your delay means just more suffering. You can't ex
pect any dentist to hurt you less if you let your teeth and
gums become sore and inflamed. "Do it now" is the best
maxim to apply to such a case.
you are afraid of being hurt!
don't be afraid. You can come here and rest assured
that you will receive painstaking and sympathetic atten

MY 15-YEAR GUARANTEE
My quality has stood the test. Thousands have found
it permanent. How else could I personally guarantee it

extremely high fees. My low fees are within reach of all

REMEMBER
