wast May Be tlia Ontcoma.
Cooperative advertising of all Pa
cific northwest scenic features may
result from a conference held at the
Arctic club In Seattle, Saturday, at
which representatives from 10 com
munities were present.
George E. Hardy, executive secre-
tary of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, represented Portland. I
The conference decided to call a '
meeting to be held in the Arctic club,
September 6, to which representatives
of all railroads, steamship lines, hotels
and commercial organizations in the
northwest will be Invited. j
An endeavor will be made to perfect ,
an organization that will do advertis
ing on a broad scale for this entire sec
tion of the country, the association
absorbing the expense, which will be
divided pro rata.
Attention will probably first be dl-
reeled to the tourist trade, a publicity ;
campaign being wared in npreading the
fame of the northwest's scenic attrac
tlons. Instead of a single community pub- i
lihhlng booklets and upending money i
on advertising for its purely local at- i
tiactlons It is pruposi U to consider the '
northwest as a wholo in the belief that
the tourist does not Journey west to
ee one particular ttilng but is interest
ed in the entire western country.
It Is posslhlo that a chamber of'
commerce of the northwest may spring
from the cooperative campaign, and
that it will maintain tourist bureaus
lu the east.

Married at Last,
and They Couldn't
Keep It a Secret
Ridgefield, Wash., Aug. 14.
Their wedding day was not
only their happiest to Lloyd
Pearson, 21, Ridgefield, and j
Lillian Bales, Cunningham, ,
Wash., but it was also one of ,
their busiest. i
Mr. Pearson purchased the li- '
cense at K-alama, Cowlitz coun- j
ty, because he and Miss Bales j
wanted to keep their marriage j
a secret for a while. When the j
hour for the wedding arrived
the county judge at Kalama, j
was out of the city, and no
minister nor other person qual-
lfied to perform the ceremony, (
could be found. 1
Mr. Pearson and Miss Bales j
returned to Ridgefield, and ;
asked Her. Harvey Cooper, pas- ;
tor of the local Methodist m
church, .to marry them. Mr.
Cooper, said he'd be glad to do ,
it, but when he found that the j
license had been issued in an- :
other' county, he had to refuse
to perform the ceremony in '
Ridgefield.
Then the groom-to-be hired an 1
automobile and with the bride-
to-be, the -minister and a cou-
pie of witnesses, drove to the i
far end of the bridge spanning I
the North Fork of the Lewis I
river, the county dividing line. j
There in the automobile, at 10 j
p. m., neath a sputtering arc I
light, the engine chugged a 1
wedding march and two loving ik '
hearts were made one. '
