Mr. Epperly left Portland. 10 years ' ago 'and since that time has missed no eorner of the globe in his travels. He la a tlmberman, with headquarters in the Chinese city, an Importer there, and exporter while here. , He has many friends In Portland who knew him years ago, and he Is busy during the few days of hia visit In ahaklng hands and re newing old acquaintances. Magnif loans Soeaery. . In his Journeys ha has traveled ex tensively in Russia and is prooaoiy tne first of all travelers to describe Siberia as a country of remarkable resources and of magnificent scenery. Popular - conception of that country, he says, la absolutely erroneous. '"You may travel far before finding a country that ran compare with Siberia In scenery, resources or natural advan tages," he said. "And the popular be lief that It Is a country where there Is nothing but suffering Is totally wrong. In no other part of the world,' probably, will you find better accommo. dot Ions for traveling or & more beautU ' ful and diversified scenery. . "There is a company, which Is. Just about tha same as the Pullman company In America, that runs through tralna from Moscow to Vladivostok, and so far mm tha trains and the service is con cerned, there Is no comparison between them and the trains one rides on in America.

Through Siberia there is all kinds ol fuel, and the timber re sources of that wonderful Country are almost unlimited. Magnificent birch ana oak trees are found in unlimited abundance. In my opinion, it la the most oeautirui country in the world, wiui us rouing plains, mils and val leys." Russian cities are among the most Interesting la the world, he says. St. Petersburg and Moscow especially are always teeming with life and Interest. Bnsslan Cities TJp to Bate. "Anyone who thlnka they are the bleak, snow-covered cities that histor ians have painted them is mistaken," said Mr. Epperly. "They are Intensely human, brimming over with life and vitality. And one finds there practi cally everything he does in American cities. Once, for Instance, I remember a visit to a theatre In Moscow.
