A route of charm and a way of won- i dcra l th new Willamotte-Paciflo railroad from Eugene to Coos Bay. Part of the growing Portland en thusiasm for the Coos Bay railroad completion celebration, August 14, 26 and 28, Is properly due to the attrac- j tlons ojf the trip going and coming. The country will be absolutely new to more than 90 per cjiof the ex Wiritonlsts. Furfy tnah.many failed to'seelc It when the transportation was either by ocean voyage or stage route. It will be Portland's first official big call upon the Coos Bay people, for Portland waited until transporta tion should be modernized before seek ing strength of representation In the rich district. . The Coos Bay line leaves the South ern Pacific main line about a quar ter of a mile north of the Eugene pas senger station. From KuEene to Veneta there is flat farming country, which between Ven eta. and Notl changes gradually to the foothills of the Coast Range moun tains. The mountain scenery Is very beau tiful. West of the summit the rail road follows the Sluslaw river. It does not climb entirely through the mountains but tunnels under the sum mit. Along1 the Slnslaw. Opposite the Swlsshome station is a Strange rock formation called "Old Man Sluslaw. ' In the Sluslaw river and Its tributaries there has for long been excellent fishing. When the excursion reaches Maple ton it will have come practically to the head of navigation on the Sluslaw river. Down in Coos county the launch frequently takes the place of the mar ket wagon. Sluslaw bay is an attractive body of . water with the town of Florence on Its shore, and Olenada on the south shore. This is a country of dairying, fishing snd lumbering. After leaving Cushman Uje new rall- road follows an arm of Sluslaw bay for several miles, then plunges through a number of tunnels only to merge upon the shores of beautiful Tslltooos lake. One of these days Tslltcoos lake will be a famous resort. The lake is three or four miles wide and probably 10 miles long and is sur- l-r yw "t 'if i l i &ri "vrX 4 - 44- 4 1 ft- 4 rounded by heavily wooded rolling hills; railroad winds along the shores of the lake for many miles.

Lake Tahkenitch. another lovely body of water so close to Tsiltcoos that their arms seem to Join. The railroad follows the shores of this lake to a point within a few miles of the Smith river. In this vicinity the forest comes down, dark and gigantic to thp rail road tracks and almost no signs of human habitation are to be found. Oar diner Would Extend Hospitality. Gardiner is a town on the Smith river whose people are anxious to en tertain the members of the Portland excursion. It Is the principal trading point for dairy ranches located along the TJmpqua and Smith rivers One of the beautiful trips of the west Is to go by boat up Smith river snm. ?s miles. Another Rood trip by boat is up the Umpijua 20 miles to Scotts- j burg and Still another down the Ump qua to Winchester bay. First rate hunting and fishing are to be enjoyed. Reedsport is a town that has been located on the railroad and the south bank of the Umpqua river since the railroad was built. From Reedsport the railroad follows Schofleld creek, passes through two long tunnels and emerges upon North -and Ten Mile lakes, after which it leads through forests of small trees to Coos Bay, across which has been built a draw bridge 2268, feet long, one of the features of the trip. North Bend, the second largest city In Coos county, is about eight miles from the. mouth of Coos Bay, and Marshfield, the metropolis, is Just be yond North 'Bend. The first day of the railroad completion Jubilee will be staged In North Bend, the third In Marshfield, while the second will be devoted to trips through the county and to the beaches.

The department of the interior re cently Issued a handsQme National Parks portfolio. It is made up of nine booklets treating on nine of the largest national parks comprising Yel lowstone, Yosemite, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Crater Lake, Mesa Vefde, Glacier and Rocky Mountain parks and Grand Canyon national monument Three hundred thousand copies were issued. Inasmuch as there was no government fund available for getting out the portfolio the various transcon tinental railroads donated the money to cover all expenses. In addition to containing much In formation of value and interest con cernlng the parks the portfolio also contains 240 lllustrationiS'howlng the natural beauties of the parks more elo quently than words. In an Introduction Secretary Lane says In part: It would appear from the experi ence of the past year that the real awakening a to the value of these parks has at last been realized and that those who have, hitherto found themselves enticed by the beauty of the Alps and the Rhine and the soft loveliness of the valleys of France may find equal If not more stimulating satisfaction In the mountains, rivers and valleys which this government has set apart far them end for all others. It may reconcile those Who think that money expended upon such luxuries is wasted. If any such there are to be told that the sober minded traffic men of the railroads estimate that last year more than a hundred million dollars usually spent in European travel was divided among the railroads, hotels and their supporting enterprises in this country. There Is ho reason Why this nation should not make Its scenic domain as rjiiiiliiiliiiiiiii rj: I il r I ; ; kj ?pf Wheel iff- "1 Chairs available to all Its citizens as Switz erland and Italy make theirs. If congress will but make the funds available for the construction of roads over which automobiles mav travel with safety and for trails to hunt out hidden places of beauty and dignity we may, expect that year by ye.tr these parks will become a more precious pos session of the people, holding them to me iuriner aisoovery or America and making them still prouder of its re sources, esthetic as well as material. Court Angers Man; Tries to Kill Self . . John O. Wlkman Ordered to Pay "Wift 99 Week Attempts to Jump Oat of Courtroom Window. Chicago, Aug. 6. John O. Wikman, aged 20 years, having been ordered by Judge Rufus Robinson to pay his wife $6 a week, sought to have the order vaeated. The Judge refused to alter his decision. As Wlkman was leaving the court his wife asked what he was going to do. He rushed to a window of the city hall and climbed onto the ledge as though to Jump. He was nine stories above Randolph street. Court attaches pulled him from his perilous position before he could leap. For nearly an hour they tried to qulbt him. Then relatives, promising to care for him, obtained his release on a surety bond n that he would pay the $6. Mutterings of War Worry Gantu Little Governor of tower California Plxe His Own Tariff and Laws Independ ent of Mexico City OoTewnent. San Dlego.Cal., Aug. 8. (I. N. 8 ) Whether or not the rest of the Mex ican provinces war with each other, or with the United States, appears to concern Governor Esteban Cantu, oT lower California, not at all. This pic turesque Mexican soldier, who a year ago last December deposed Governor Avilos and assumed the reins of gov ernment himself, has established a goverrment in Lower California that is in reality a beneficlent autocracy. He rules capably, fixes tariff and laws to suit himself and pays no at tention to Mexican chiefs who would depose him. His government is man aged economically and successfully and his people are lightly taxed. Calexlco cotton growers were alarmed one Sunday last winter when they learned that a telegram from General Obregon had announced an increase from $2.30 to $10 a hale as export duty on cotton. They haJ hun dreds of truckloads of unglnned cotton at the border line and the new tax would be ruinous. Governor Cantu Jld not seem to be particularly impresseJ either by the order from Obregon or by the frantic protests of the Ameri can growers. It .was a business mat- LAUDS OREGON SCENERY ter to be decided on a business basis. He decided to maintain the $2. SO rate, and his decision, like the others, was final. Governor Cantu fixes and collects a tax on every concession. His dealings with his own people and his American neighbors are satisfactory. Even with war mutterings on both sides of the line, the American growers in Mexico have been so sure of Governor Cantu's ability to handle the Situation that they have Increased the acreage In cultivation on the Mexican side from 82,000 acres to 62,000 acres. Fifty thousand bales of cotton will be har vested by American growers this year in Governor Cantu's domain. Houston Fireman Is Some Speedy Barber Houston, Texas, Aug. 5. (I. N. S.) Ed Lee, one of the husky firemen at Central fire station, is rapidly acquir ing a reputation as a barber. While he was engaged In clipping horses a number of the men of the Sixty-ninth Regiment of New York stopped to look at the fire apparatus. One of them spied Mr. Lee, while acting as hair trimmer to his team.
