' X Since Chairman Charlton's retirement from the Alton,- the major, as Mr. Hooper la known the country over, has' served longer, consecutively. a a-gan-J era! passenger agent than any man In A. D.

O. for it I surely has been Major Hooper who has maue uie 1'cnver oc TirTruranfie wnai il is odsy the most popular of the trans continental lines. He was thef.lrsU.itl not to recognize, .atIeast to tell the people of the country of . fha wonders of the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas And of the gorgeous beauty of the Canyon of. the Grande. It was Major Hoopers judicious advertising that made the Denver A Rio Grande known as "the scenic line of the world." Other roads may have scenery Its equal or even su perior, but If ao the fart has hot been made known, to the public ' - r Be Bnunaael Xiomaav Of those who attended the Portland meeting. E. L. Lomax of the " Union Pacific comes next to Mr. Fee in point of service as general passenger agert. For IS years he has bad the say of what rates should spply over the Union Pa cific, and has made. his name a house hold Word wherever railroads and rail road 'officials, are .known. Mr. Lomax la one of the betdresned men In the raHroad- business, and is looked upo a by-iroinya-t he Beau- Brtrrrrmel of th s association. It waa quite amusing to sea Mr. Fee and Mr. Lomax fighting for the same ends and- the same principles. Today they belong io the same family (Harrl man's. while a few-short month ga go they represented' direct competitors snd bitter rival companies. It is another case of the linn and the lamb, though It would be difficult to tell who was the lion and who the lamb.

"We ' made a tour of the principal cities in California ' before our arrival In Portland." said Mr. O'Orady, "and all along the line we heard expressions of fear regarding -hotel prices In Port land.

We have 0 people in our organisation, and I started out to get hotel accommodatlona with some misgivings. Fesr waa soon dis pelled, however, for '-1 got ratea that were no higher than are found In any city in normal times, and some of the prices astounded me. . I engaged 20 rooms at a hotel within a stone's throw of the exposition grounds at rate of tl a day for each person.
