Neah-kah-nle. Or.. June 1. Neah-
kah-nie mountain is the highest head
land that Juts out into the ocean be
tween Tamalpais' and the British Co
lumbia border. By rail and auto it is
102 miles from Portland, though on an
air line It is not over 60 miles. The
trip by rail to Neah-kah-nie is a con
tinuous delight. There is an ever
changing panorama of natural beautv
as the train twists and winds Its sinif
ous way through the defiles of the
Coast mountains.
The pas-senger bound for the Neah-kah-nle
district, leaves the train at
Moliler, finishing the trip by a half
hour's ride by auto, on he can oontmue
o:i to Wheeler, where he makes coii-
nection with a launch for Nehalem.
where an auto 'bus takes him to Ids
destination.
Rich in Tradition.
The Neah kah-nle district Is rich in
tradition and romance. Here for
countless generations the Indians
gathered each fall to catch and cure
fish, to hunt and to kill sea otters on
the rcks off shore for their pelts.
Here, too, they held their annual pot
latches and clambakes.
This was a famous place for the
gathering and drying of huckleberries
r.aen can a remnant or trie
once
numerous band still come to their old-
time camping ground to dig clams and
to gather huckleberries. i
The famous treasure cove is locateS
near the base of Neah-kah-nie moun- '
tain, and on its southern slope are the
enigmatical sculptured rocks with their
crudely lettered inscriptions and their
pointing arrows and crosses, or per-
haps they were meant for twords.
Here, too. "penalo ame w eipiompi,'' as
tie natives say, which means "upon a
long ago time." the famous beeswax
ship drifted ashore and was broken up.
stuttering its cargo of beeswax from
the mouth of the Nehalem to the wave

It Is still' being picked up. While if. A.

OLD GUlRD AGAINST T. R.
Nomination Wot Expected In Early Bal

stantial Gains aa Time Hsara.
- Washington. June 3, (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
Now that the road to Chicago Is be
coming crowded, with a goofl share of
national lawmakers already ' thererf the
Republican leaders have settled down
to Hies things' as certainties of the
coming convention:
There will be no nomination on the
first ballot for president and prob
ably nosselection for several ballots.
Justice Hughes wi make no an
nouncement concerning what he will
do if nominated, and nothing to define
his standing on the issues of the flay.
The convention can take him, or leave
him alone.
BooaaTelt and Favorite Sons.
Roosevelt forces will join with the
favorite sons In ail effort to put
Hughes on the shelf.. If. after several
ballots. , no nomination is made, tes'. i
of strength will be made for Roose
velt, for Root and (for others, dntil
the convention "find itself.
The best opinion here Is that Hughes
In riot gaining. Reports come- in that
raany delegates counted as favorable
to him are not prepared to vote for hla
nonfiination without having a state
ment from Hughes himself. No one is
authorized to apeak for him, but those
who liye in the Hughes atmospnere
are saying that the justice can be de
pended upon to keep silence down to
and through the balloting. This ac
cords with their views as to how he
should behave, but It appears that an
Increasing number of delegates aro
dissatisfied with Hie idea of nominat
ing a candidate , wjiose views are a
matter of speculation.
It is taken for granted that some
of the favorite, sons will go early on
the rocks. This not the case with
ell of them, however. The Fairbanks
Weeks and Burton followings nave
eaci a strong organization, and thev
are holding for the "break." Root his
been gaining, foo, and it is an open
question as to whether one of tb:s
quartet, Roosevelt r Hughes will lead
on the first ballpts.i
The Fairbanks managers ate ro-
porteL-to have picked up a number -of
unattached delega4e,s in the south. The
Root and Weeks lieutenants have ben
exceptionally busy for a week or more
and claim substantial additions to
their ranks. These activities all count
for a contest that Will carry the con
vention beyond three or four bajpt
affair.
Olii AnavrA T.am.dara SlTlded.
It is Interesting to note that the
three old guard leaders having the
greatest power are at leat nominally
divided. William iBarnes is for Root
first, with McCall and Burton ln re
serve, W. Murray Crane is for Weeka
first, with a suspected leaning toward
Hughes on second choice. Boles Pen
rose maintains silerree, but may put
Knox forward whije the jockeying for
position goes on.
All members or
the big three are
against Roosevelt. Barnes is bitterly rans from cooperating in export trade
against him, and Crane is Utile less : for the purpose of competing effective

Gompers and Hurley of Fed

Washington. June 3. (WASHING
TON HURKAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Diplomatic alliances existing when the
Kuropem war began and rtiade during
the conflict will be extended to a trade
war when the trial of arms is over.
Such is the opinion coming at almost
the same time from Samuel Gompers,
distinguishtd representative of labor,
and Kriward N. Huray. vice-chairman
of the federal trade commission. Gom
pers gave expression to his opinion In
a paper read before tlie convention of
tho League to Enforce Peace, and Hur
ley in an address before a meeting of
business men
Gompera asserted that the llnea are
definitely formed for economic warfare
to be carried on by the nations, not
along exclusively national lines, but
along the lines of the alliances facing
each other on the battle front He
looks to a new assertion of democracy
by the masses going far to prevent an
other world conflict, but he evidently
does not believe that they will cease
to firht each other In the markets.
Mr. Iluriey, in making hla forecast.
as to what will come after the war,
said:
"After the war England, France.
Russia. Italy. Belgium and their do
pendencies will doubtless form a co
operative trade compact, whereby they
will agree to purchase from and sell to
each other every possible, commodity
manufactured or produced by them
This will be for the purpose of protect
ing their manufactured products and
their natural resources, and to co
ordinate their financial and shipping
interests.
Aid for Amerlcavn Merchants.
'Competition is the same the world
over, and it will bo particularly keen
when the business of peace la resumed
among the nations. America's chance
at the trade of the world will be helped
beyond what it was before by reason
of a new, even start with the others in
the race.
"If our business men are to' be fac
tors in the world's markets, they must
receive encouragement to do as our
foreign rivals are doing, and the fed
eral trade commission has recommend
ed to congress that a bill be passed
giving the American manufacturer the
legal rig"ht t form cooperative selling
agency in the export trade.
"The federal trade commission does
not believe that congress Intended bv-
, 1 tie ami-trust law to prevent Amerl-
ation does not restrain traide within
j tempt is made to hinder American com
petitora from securing their due share
of the trade."
Relations Wth 7ar East.
Senator La Follette, with a view to
bettering relations between this coun
try and the nations of the far east,
wriere many have predicted "tne next
great war" may come, has introduced
a resolution requesting the govern
ments of Japan and China to Join ln
forming an international commission,
three from each country, "to study the
questions at issue between the Orient
and the United States, and to make
recommendations thereon to their re
spective governments."
This, he contetids, would be a step
toward establishing justice for China,
and also toward clearing away war
clouds that might gather, because an
international tribunal would Insure
ample time for discussion and adjust
ment before a hasty step is taken.
