Roads Tour Book,
Xickelsen at Hood River.
Hood River, Or., June 21. The
school election held Monday for the
purpose of electing one director and
clerk was the most splclted election
held in the school dstrlct for many
years for the election of officers. The
Storm center being the nominees for
clerk. M. H. Nickelsen. who has been
school clerk of the city district nine
venr and the Frankton district ten
years, was re-elected over Mrs. R. IT.
Gould by a vote or 87 to 58. Though
it was reported on the streets that
Mrs. Gould was the Woman's club
candidate. Mrs. J. P. Lucas, president
Of the club, stated that while an ef
fort had been made to have the Wom
an's club back Mrs. Gould's candidacy
as a club, the matter was opposed and
the club as an organization was not ac
tive in the election. E. O. Blanchar
was elected director to fill the vacancy
-caused by the refusal of Frank A.
Cram to be a candidate tor re-election.
Solicitors for the Good Roads Tour
book, being issued by the Oregon
Touring committee, used the name of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
without authority to procure adver
tisements, according to a statement
made by George E. Hardy, executive
secretary of the chamber, after a an
investigation.
The investigation was made on re
ports that the solicitors were taking
advantage of a close affiliation be
tween the chamber and the touring
committee and made It appear to pros
pective advertisers that the Chamber
of Commerce was behind the scheme.
It was then learned that the solicitors
were presenting cards, bearing two
separate inscriptions, one being, "Pub
licity Dept., Portland Chamber of
Commerce," the other being "Oregon
Touring Committee."
Chamber's Name Misused.
In the advertising sontracts, the
name "Portland Chamber of Com
merce" was printed In heavy black let
ters, for the apparent object Of lead
ing advertisers to believe they were
spending money to aid some endeavor
of the chamber, when in fact the
chamber will receive nothing from
funds raised through the advertising
In the touring book.
Mark Woodruff, in charge of the
chamber's publicity, declared that thu
solicitors had taken "advantage of
the situation," for their own benefit.
"Some time ago," said Woodruff, "a
Touring committee for the Chamber
of Commerce was appointed.- This
committee undertook to issue a tour
book of Oregon. It was thoroughly
understood that this committee was to
proceed with the work as though it
were an Independent body.
"The touring committee then en
tered into contract with a local
printer fon publication of the book,
and as I understand it, the printer was
to get his pay from whatever adver
tising he could procure.
Change Is Made.
"When the 'dummy' of the book was
submitted to me there appeared on
the first page these words, 'Indorsed
by the Portland Chamber of Com
merce.' I changed this to read, 'In
dorsed by the Touring committee of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce,'
and impressed on the printer the fact
that the chamber could not indorse the
