GREAT RESULTS NOTED Trarrl to British Colombia, Ore gon and Washington Increased SO Per Cent This Season. The persistent and systematic advertising campaign conducted by the Pacific northwest tourist bureau far the last three years Is bearing fruit. .. , The greatest movement of vaca tionists and tourists tn the history of the northwest is now' at Its height, and city hotels, -pleasure retorts and camp grounds are filled with thousands of visitors from every state of the union and from every province of Canada. Auto license plates from eastern states are familiar sights on public streets and hotel registers contain lists of residents ranging from Bangor, Me., to San Diego and from Victoria to Key West. "The northwest is becoming the playground of the cation." said Phil Metschan. manager of the Imperial hotel, yesterday. "This la the ban- rer season of my 17 years in the hotel business tn Portland. The greater part of our guests are vaca tionists and pleasure seeker who have been drawn o this section by the advertising campaign carried on In the. east by northwestern people." - ' ' lama. la 50 Pw Ceil. ' Kxaci figures on the number of persona who have visited the north west as tourists during the season are unobtainable. An estimate of the number, with any degree of accuracy, would be Impossible. But the hotel registers, the figures of the municipal auto camp, the state ments of railroad fftclals and the observations of hotel clerks show that this season's crowd of tourists Is half again as large as any which 'visited the state during previous seasons. Before the formation of the Pacific Xerthwest Tourist associa tion, the northwest was a negative quantity as far as vacationing was concerned. l-arge eastern tourist agencies, whli-h booked parties to the west, overlooked Oregon, Wash ington and British Columbia entirely. Hi years ago hut i per cent of the California tourists returned to their homes by the northern route. Those who were bookd over northern roads on therr return trip from Csiifornia to the 'east were usually given a two-hour stopover In Port land and two hours in Seattle. Adverttaiaar Briaga Resalta. The tourist association. In com mencing Its work, undertook extensive advertising campaign in the daily papers of various eastern cities. Klfty-slx such mediums were used, thousands of booklets, some devoted to golfing, some to moun taineering, some to automobiling and some to the general vacationing possibilities of the district, were printed and distributed in the east. The campaign has been carried on for five year. This Reason's unprecedented influx of visitors the result- At the municipal auto camp 3SJ machinea have been regiatered riur Ing the season that opened on June 1. Cars from every state In the union have parked there. According to the attendants, the majority of the- visitors were vacationists and pleasure seekers. "For several years past. said Mr. Meiscnan. "there has been a grow ing volume of hotel business. This season it haa broken all our ex pec tations. our four big months tn -the hotel business now are June. July. August and September. Whale Families Iaclased. A study of our registers will show whole families from every state in the union. They come to the northwest in response to the ad vertising campaign which the northwestern people have been car rying on. Their mission here is pleasure they have heard of our mountains, our forests, our scenic and ciimtic advantages. ""Before this campaign was started there waa an opinion in certain sec- tions of the east that the Pacific northwest was a country peopled by Indians and rough pioneer types. mat the country was a vast wilder ness, with a climate that was an qual of Alaska's. We have, cor rected those Ideas by our booklets and our literature. Kow we are commencing to reap the reward. This tourist traffic ia not of advan tage to the hotel man alone. , The merchant, the garage man. the auto dealer and in fact all lines of busi ness are benefited. The possibilities of the northwest as a home are ad' vertised." Other hotel men of the city bear out the truth of Mr. Metschans statements. A few minutes at the desk of any of the city's hostelries would convince the most skeptical. Hotel accommodations are at a premium, the repliea of the clerks t how. rltirl J eat Oseslag. According to Sidney B. Vincent of the stato Information bureau the northwest is lust being opened as a tourist ceflter. In the current year he has supplied Information con cerning roads, pleasure and vacation resorts to exactly 09 persons who have applied to the bureau. Crater lake, as th wonder spot of Oregon, has drawn more tourists to its hotel than during any season tn te past. The mysterious body of water, due to the advertising cam paign carried on by the tourist asso ciation, now ranks with Yellow stone. Vosemlte. the Grind canyon and Glacier park as a tourist at traction. A day does not pass, say ' hotel men. that some tourist party con ducted by representatives of some of the large eastern agencies does not stop over for a day In Portland. A trip along the Columbia Is now being included on the Itinerary of atmosi every such party. Advertis ing, and advoftising alone, is r. sponsible, the hotel men say. Still on Ilarr Kosd Seized. A It-gallon copper still, running full blast, with a moonshiner in at tandance, was seized yesterday morning when federal prohibition agents raided a house on the Barr rad. one quarter mile east of Buckley avenue. Carl Plttskow. the operator, was Jailed on a charge of violating the prohibition law. The s'ill-and a ten-galion keg of moon shine were seised and taken to the custom house. Two hundred and fifty gallons of mash were destroyed. 1p'' www yw ' '!n iiiiiiiwwwy f.-i " l v m L u whjm hi imimiiil i ' tf JU"''J'k'mdtLi'Aii' w : I I r ' - "!Tf ' '7- - ' i ! ?

In the account of the fire which destroyed it. fouDd in The Oregonian of October . 178. the building was described as a large frame structure 60 feet by 100 feet in sise.. Frequently now the name of the theater is seen In the r my-Years-AKO" Items, and the names of the actors often have a familiar ring. The father and mother of the now famous Blanche Hates were among When the best clam chowder ever invented was served in winter months by the boys or the volunteer fire companies at the engine house stag parties? - ' When H.

When Portland musically was put on the map by Emma Abbott, who opera in English? . (Jotting. Inspired by a VUlt la Mount K.inivr.) i X the first place it should be noted that wlrile the name offi cially is still Mount Rainier and so accepted by the public at large. Taroma in this respect is a bitter ender. In Pierce county It is Mount Tacoma and so it is going to remain. Everybody is out of step but Ta coma. If one mentions In the City of Destiny that he is going to Mount Itain'er he touches on a sore spot. The Tacomans don't show - resent ment, but they register pained sur prise and never fail to correct the tourist or casual visitor. They must be kept pretty busy doing this, for as Tacoma la the nearest gateway to Rainier National park the word Hainler ia on the lips of scores of strangers there every day. Out in the park they make conces sions to this sentiment that would tie up lacoma to -Hthe third highest peak in North America, south of Alaska. As one proceeds along the highway he notes os4'asional signs directing . atten tion to the moun tain. On ftieso signs It always is . "the m 0 u n tain, never Mount Hai nler. In the guide lectures at (Ira dlse Inn the same polite te.rmitxOlogy Is employed. But it answers very well, for to p ople in that part of . Washington there is only one moun- tain: to specify would detract some-j what from Its supremacy. If Mount Hood is mentioned the natlvea im mediately te!l you the exact number of feet that Rainier lifts its summ't above Ort gon's glorious peak. ... The Oregonian who Is familiar with both mountains Is by no means ready to admit that Rainier is more beautiful than Hood, but it is a dif ferent beauty. Rainier is more massive: has more the appearance of Alaska's scenery In the Mount McKinley district, awe. Inspiring by its great sise. The Jagged knife-llko Desks that rise around Rainter ac ¬ centuate this impression or duik. Thousands of Oregonians have seen Rainier at close range and other thousands will find the trip to Para dise valley well worth while. Greater beau'y would be difficult to imagine than the in.rlring view from the highway when the first rlose-up of Rainier presents itself. The kaleido scopic variety of the landscape Is bewildering. Do you recall In your first geography the picture entitled The Earth's Surface. which - in cluded pretty much every natural phenomenon? That picture kept re curring to at least one recent vlaitor to Rainier. Kverything Is visible ex cept the ocean. The towering moun tain, the wooded hills, the glafler. the flower carpeted valleys, the pre cipitous cliffs, the snow field, the river, the crevasse, the forest all are there: and quite the most pictur esque bit In the entire ensemble is a distant waterfall. There is a more conspicuous waterfall near atahan.1. to be sure, a dashing, roaring cata ract, but high oa the side of Rainier may he discerned a thin ribbon of water that lows from perpetual snow and is silhouetted against a black rock wall: it holds the eye and stirs the Imagination. It is this profligacy of scenery that makes Rainier one of our great national parks. Variety is. the key to Its charm. Just as it is on the Columbia river highway. .The dif ference Is that on the highway one Is always coming upon, some new beauty, while on Rainier one sweep of the eye comprehends everything from the grandeur of the peak Itseif to the multi-hued beauty of Paradise valley, where botanists say that 60U varieties of flowers blossom. This may suggest the reason be hind an Interesting fact mentioned by T. H. Martin, president of the company that controls the conces sions; namely, that more pictures are sold at Rainier park than at all of the other national playgrounds combined. Hie, beautiful and the spectacular have merged to supply photographer and painter with a wealth of material. ... Mr. Martin la the man of vtnioti behind Rainier National park. He it was who realized the possibilities and brought about their develop ment, including the erection of Par' V rw. y ( it ft . door was a restaurant, where Portland known, was established In the early and a town meeting place, many the early actors at tbe Oro Fino. Ueorge I., Gillespie. Un-ited States ocean steamers was telephoned from adi.se Inn, a tourist hotel of unques tioned excellence 'With accommoda tions for 625 people. Years ago he resigned as president of the Tacoma Commercial club to Join the Kalnier National Park company, and the fa cilities for visitors at Rainier today are a monument to his enterprise. . Visitors to a national park Includ.? all kinds of people, mostly just plain folks, but with an abnormal propor tion of distin guished citisens, globe trotters, ge ologists, states men, authors, etc If one would sta tion himself at a given point on the , national park cir cuit' he would see in time almost I everyone who is lisf-d in "Who's Who:" They get an occasional freak as well. Just the other day an excep tional woman ' blew Into Paradise. Inn. Blew in Is the correct term. Without parking her gum she pro ceeded to give the ap-and-down to the assembly room, an Impressive hall 110 feet long and 78 feet from floor to ridge pole. Then she ad dressed an attendant: "Kind of swell Joint you have aere.". she observed. ' BOt look at them poles." she has tily qualified. "Not a bit of paint on 'em. Looks like a barn. Why don't they partm "em up?" - Inasmuch as the "poles are the particular pride ofthe inn. the at- lendant all but fainted. They are I Alaskan cedar logs, weathered to a I beautiful silver. To touch them with paint would be sacrilege. There were other things, too. that the visitor criticised in her own snappy style, an appreciative group within earshct giving her their un divided attention. .' . "Do you serve lee cream with your meala?" she asked finally. She was assured she might have it as often as she chose. "Well, it Is a swell Joint." she con ceded admiringly. The horseback ride over thf sky line trail is an excursion at Raliier that no one should miss. The ascent is made nearly half way up the mountain and the trail touches the best points for ob servation. Kven with the present smoke pall' a), lower levels'" the atmosphere of the mountain and ' its environs Is clear I as a bell. To describe the everchanglng views .would be to flounder, among superla tives But the gaze frequently drifts toward the peak .'of St. Helens, Adams. Hood and . n Jefferson, protruding from the billowy smoke sea. The ride Is a great adventure for some of the eastern women whose favorite haun has been the drawing room, but they are getting away with u every day. After riding the trail above glaciers and along rock rmges they regard their introduc tton to. the perils of the wild west as complete and pride themselves on their horsemanship. If they only knew it the horse regards the cir cuit or the skyline trail as all in the day's work and if any one tried to guide him off of it he would take the suggestion very unkindly. -... Lloyd W. McDowell, who helped to put several of our Rose Festivals on the amusement map and is well known In Portland, is publicity di rector at Rainier. It is possible that Crater lake and other Oregon tourist resorts might do well to establish bureaus such as Mr. McDowell i.i conducting. He is obtaining great publicity 'for Rainier, particularly In eastern newspapers and magazines. He Is after features all the time and If no material exists he invents it. A few days ago he took to Paradise valley a group of dancing girls from a Seattle school and had them disport jn Grecian draperies among the flowers with a background of snow banks. It was rather a shock to the staid old mountain but quite a treat to the tourists. The school is considering a summer course in aesthetic lancing on the Paradise meadow.. That may be the outcome, or it may not, but as a publicity stunt it went over big and that Is rv-if k i i night life ebbea ana, nosed in me 8. 187S. and that was the end of the spell on their road to fame ana lor '0s by J.

' Mr. Martin Is heartily In favor of co-operation among the resorts of the Pacific northwest. "The Columbia river highway," Crater lake and Rajnler help each other." he said. "Our desire is to see the development of greater fa cilities for tourists at Crater lake. The traveler who visits the Pacific northwest is brought by the several attractions we have to offer. If he Is pleased with what' he . sees and finds first-class accommodations he will come again and he will pass along the word that will bring others." ' .

TOURIST ARRIVALS AT AUTO CAMP SHOW GREAT INCREASE j Record for Three -Months Indicates 100 Per fjent More Travel and . Revenue Than in Like Period Last Year. BY ADDISON BENNETT. HE statement from the office of the park commissioner is Just completed for Jhe first three months of this year,- embracing a comparison with the business done in 1921. The arrival of cars for July numbered 3015 and for May and June 2275. giving a grand total for the season of 5290. as against a total for the same period last year of 2993. an increase -of 2295 or nearly 100 per cent. The receipts for the same period were, in 1921. $1430. In 1922 the total receipts to July 31 were 5288. The figures given out for the number of persons arriving during the same periods were, for 1921 9312 and for this year 16.842. These figures are only approximate and the accurate number of persons arriving surely la greater than the figures show. Improvements to be made on the grounds this fall and next spring have not been determined, but a day or two ago Mayor Baker and Com missioners Pier, Barbur, Mann and Bigelow, with Park Supervisor Keyser, spent several hours at the camp looking everything over care fully. It is, however, quite clear that there will, be a substantial profit from the camp and no doubt many improvements will be made. But the reader must understand that there Is not atiuge sum of vel vet," for It costs a lot of money to operate the camp, and the rent for the grounds Is $2580 a year, . . ' . ' .

TROPHI OUT OF HIDING SCHAEFEK CCP 'RECALLS . CHEAT DAYS OF OLD. Emblem Won by Father of Pres ent Billiard .Champion in v Title Play In 187 9. i Memories of other great sport days when Hie first Jacob Schaefer, the wizard of billiards, was the dad dy of all the ivory-rolling experts were received -at Chicago last week when the sterling' trophy emblem atic of they Championship of the world which; was won by the late Jacob Schaefer In the international tournament, in the Cooper Institute, New JTork, In January and Febru ary, 1879, Just 43 years ago, was dug Up at a warenouso. It was sent to the company for safe keeping some 20 years ago... The trophy was brought out of Its hiding for shipment to Mrs. Ja cob Schaefer, wife of the old cham pion and mother of the balkllne champion, young Jake Schaefer.' It was successfully defended by the wizard against all comers for some years. . The first Jake Schaefer, besides being a great player, was a wan derer over thie world. His friends were legion in all great cities of the universe. Jake used to say that home with him was the spot where he flung up his hat. He was at home not only from Piccadilly to the Champs Elysee on the other side, but' from, New York to San Fran cisco on this. His great skill and the profession he followed matle him a wanderer and until near , tne end he had no chance to settle down. Due to his nomadlci life Jake Sr. won many champion emblems and often gave them away. There was one prize he cherished above all others, however, and that was the trophy he won when he beat the greatest field of billiard players of the world at that perloa. ; . "That 1879 tournament,, in" fact, 'brought out men famous for years before ana alter, iney weie; Jacob Schaefer. George F. Slosson.. . William Sexton. - -; Maurice Daly. f . Albert Gamier. Thomas J. Gallagher. A. P. Rudolphe. Of that mighty host Slosson, Daly and Gallagher are all that remain. .

A little later she moved to Alameda, Cal., where she now lives in a cottage that faces San Francisco bay. . GOLF PROS TO HAVE MEET About 60 to Enter Finals Booked for Oakmont Country Club.

Poor Showings Held Accountable to Defective Eye; Handicap Is Kupt Secret. .Now that Pete Herman, the .one time bantamweight champion, has announced his retirement from the ring on account of failing eyesight, ring fans will understand why this crack boxer was such an erratic per former. - At one time rete would show up like one of the greatest of fighters and the next time out like a second rater. , Herman wTan the bantam title from Kid Williams in 1917 and lost it-to Joe Lynch in the Garden in De cember, 1920. He made'-a poor show ing that night and Lynch galloped off with the honors. The next day Herman- boarded , a boat for Eng land, and upon landing knocked out the great Jimmy Wilde. Then he re turned here and began to - flatten every oae he met. He wound up a victorious campaign by winning' the title back from Lynch. . ........ Bad . eyesight was the cause of Herman's many ups and down. - He could see very little out of one eye, and when .the good one got hit he became almost blind. That was what happened to him the night he-lost the title to Lynch. It happened again when he met Midget Smith in New York last winter and received the worst beating -of his career. Early in the bout Smith partly closed Her man's one good eye and after that he was sparring in the dark. Herman received the injury that caused his eye trouble while per forming in a benefit .bout over in Philadelphia during the war. The lacing of his opponent's . glove scratched the pupil of one q his eyes and a cataract developed. . Herman was careful to keep his trouble as secret, as possible and few persons knew that he was vir tually blind in one ,eye. When he made a bad showing he never told the real reason- because he - was afraid that if his trouble became known he would not be allowed to box. Besides, it would have been bad policy to let his opponents know- how he was handicapped. 'Four operations were performed on the eye, and each time the phy sician held out hope for a comilete recovery, but always Herman was disappointed. : Now he has given up hope and has decided to retire from the ring, although aside from the In jured eye he is in better shape than at any time in his career.
