'COLUMBIA GOUGE'
HOTELON HIGHWAY
WILL OPEN SOON
Simon Benson, Builder, Said He
Had Comfort of Tourist in
Mind in Planning Hostelry.
In a few days Simon Benson will
announce that the new ."Columbia
Gorge" hotel is ready for guesta.
This new 1 resort, construction of
which was begun last February,' iS
designed to serve as a m6del for
others to come throughout scenic
Oregon, and is situated on the Co
lumbia river highway one mile west
of the city limits of Hood River. '
It Is built on a rocky bluff which rises
perpendicularly ISO feet above the river.
HAS LATEST EQUIPMENT
On the highway side the - hotel, three
stories high, has a frontage of 185 feet.
Surrounding the hotel are 21 acres which
are to be converted into gardens, parks,
tennis courts and croquet grounds.
- Absolutely fireproof, " the hotel build
: lng is equipped with every device for
safety, including hydrants, extinguish
ers and fire escapes.
There are 48 sleeping rooms, each with
bath attachment. Supplied with laundry,
cold storage and refrigerators, the hotel
will be complete in all details and so
arranged that its capacity can be easily
enlarged if its business warrants.
The dining capacity of the hotel is
600 guests. In emergencies this can be
Increased by out-of-door facilities.
will cost ssee.M
The main dining room on the first
floor Is 40x76. feet. On the north side
the dining room overlooks the Columbia
river and the Wau-Gwln-Gwin falls with
their sheer drop of 125 feet. ... .
Crowning the building: is a tower in
which there la an observatory 100 feet
from the ground. This gives a magnifi
cent view of the Washington shore and
a 25 mile sweep up and down the river.
Simplicity and comfort have been the
objects aimed at by Mr. Benson, who
In carrying out his plans will have ex
pended approximately $300,000.
"My main thought," said he, "is not
a " profit-making enterprise, but to ex
press my ideas of what a tourist hotel
ought to be as an adjunct to highway
development and tourist attraction. It
is hot only essential to make our valleys
and mountains accessible by good high
ways, but it is further necessary to capi
talise them by pleasant and comfortable
hotels.
FOB T017BIST TRADE
"I have always contended that before.
we coma expect, to attract - tourists in
numbers we should be prepared to en
tertain them and minister to their physi
cal .comfort.
"I don't expect to make. any. money out
of the hotel and will do well If it pays
expenses. I am In hopes that it will
serve as a model and stimulate the
building of other resorts In the wake of
f our improved highways." r
The new hotel wiU be manae-ed by

CARIBOU LORD IT
AS BUFFALO ONCE
PIP, SAYS WARDEN
Frank; Protzman Tells How Herds
Are Guarded From Extinction j
Meat Found Tender and Sweet
Wholesale slaughter, of the : enor
mous caribou herds of Alaska, such
as took place among the buffaloes
on the plains, is to be prevented, ac
cording to a letter Frank Protzman,
354 Alder street, received - from his
cousin, Lou Protzman, game warden
in the Fairbanks district. Lou Protz
man, a Portland man,' is an agent
for the department of interior and
it is his duty to observe the caribou
and get data on their habits and nature.
Recently ordered : to go to the Far
North country and follow the herd south,
he Was among them for several months
and his observations are of : particular
value. He has been attached -to the aerv
lc'e some 20 years. j C
HEKD MOTES LIKE FOREST
Telling of herds so large that a count
Is impossible he states the herd looks
like i a huge acreage of stubby t brush.
When the herd starts moving he says the
sight is uncanny for it seems like Bur
nam wood moving upon-the -stronghold
of Macbeth. . i '
.Protected from indiscriminate killing
by hunters, the limit by the game law
being three caribou a year, the danger
of extermination is reduced to a mini
mum. ; However, the ! toll ' taken by the
wolf pack, he states, is about three times
that of the sportsman's gun.
EAT TESDEB A(D SWEET
The meat of the caribou is extensively
used by the Alaskans and while they lay
in a winter's supply the waste is nil. 'No
more than is needed is taken.' ;
Speaking of the meat as food he tells
that it : is similar to beefsteak with a
slight gamey flavor. Unless the animal
is very old the meat, he says,! is tender
and sweet. ' He predicts the popularity of
caribou meat will grow as the: people of
the United States become more ac
quainted with it The reindeer, he
points out, is , a 'domesticated species
of the. caribou and the . raising of the
animals Is becoming an industry - of
the territory. i

For the Entire Stock of Diamonds, Solid
Gold, Silverware, Watches and Jewelry
Is Reduced a Fourth, a Third, a Half
l f -t , s ..... . . -
and Even More Than Half!
J.
P. MORGAN once characterized Wall street's
condition as "suffering from undigested se
curities.' ' ' I .
This describes the condition of the Friedlander
store undigested stocks of diamonds too many
watches too many clocks too much of every
thing. For this reason everything in the store is
reduced except ("Hamilton" watches and "Big Ben"
clocks. To give some idea of the sale, these prices
have been gathered from the window show:
HUNDRED DOLLAR BAR PINS
set with diamonds are reduced to
$65. A fine Pendant, diamond set,
is $129 instead of $180. A $200 Bar Pin is
$135. A magnificent Opal Ring that was
modestly priced ! at $175 is reduced to
$119. Another valued at $225 is cut to
$137. A fine Cameo Brooch set with dia
monds 'is $159.50, instead of $300.
SOLITAIRES: are likewise reduced,
though, of course, not as "savagely"
as the fancy diamonds. A single
magnificent stone valued at $2850 is re
duced to $2350. A Bar Pin that was
$2500 is $1500. A Diamond Bracelet that
was $1-200 is cut to $885. A Solitaire
Pendant set in Platinum is $2350, instead
of $2850. And a $275 Lavalliere is $165.
A rare Amethyst Pendant which was
$450 is now less than half price $219. A
sixteen hundred Bar Pin is eleven hundred
and seventy-five dollars. A hundred and
fifty dollar Sunburst is $85.
A TWELVE (HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLAR BROOCH of
Platinum and Diamonds is reduced
to $675. A string of beautiful Pearls
valued at $32 can be bought foe $19.50,
and the $100 Pearls are $59.50. A Dia
mond Set Watch in a platinum case is j
$675, instead of $97o, and so on through I
the entire stock. The finest collection of I
diamonds offered by a house of over fifty years' stand
ing at a fourth to a third less. j
And I almost forgot there are REAL diamonds in REAL
engagement rings for as little as $19.50.
ALL the Watches are, of course, drastically reduced.
Here's a group of Elgin and Waltham Watches
they were $32, now they're $19.50. Swiss Bracelet
Watches that were $25 are now $16.50, and they have the
fashionable ribbon bracelets. Swiss Radiolite Watches
on ribbons are also $16.50, though they, too, were $25.
Elgin Watches for men that were $25 to $27.50 are now
$19.50. Men's Finest Watches; that were $85 areTnow
$65, and the $25 Military Watches for men can now' be
bought for $10. Solid Gold Watches for ladies are worthy
of more than a passing mention they can be bought for
$38.50, though the original prices ran as high as $65. And
every watch (excepting the "Hamilton") is reduced a
fourth, a third, and in some cases half.
PEOPLE who are looking for gifts for
June brides are having a fine time.
. Here's solid silver, quadruple plate
and Sheffield, wares, and every piece re
duced. ' Some only a fourth off some
very close to half off and the stock is
so big and so fine and selected with such
excellent taste that every gift seeker will
surely be delighted. And what's of con
siderable importance to generous souls
they can give a half as much again (oa
the average) as they'd hoped to be able
to give.
ESTEPtDAY one of the salesmen
jT showed a set of silver to a. dear
old lady who was a trifle deaL
"Twenty-five per cent off," he said.
She thanked him, but decided not to buy
until she had "looked around." This
morning she came back and said,. "I'm
going to buy that set anyway, though
your prices are not. any lower than I
found anywhere else. Still you were very
nice, so I thought I'd ' come back, roa
seel" And she connted out twenty-five
dollars. "I had to shout to make her
understand' explained the. salesman.
"When I said twenty-five off she
thought I meant twenty-five dollars, but
I' made the check out for eighteen
seventy-five, of course."
THAT incident shows the character of
the Friedlander store better than
anything I could say'. It is the sort
. of event one likes to tell one's own people
about. And that's one of the reasons why
it's such, a tremendous success. ItXrcaL
But this advertisement threatens to fee
tiresome reading. "An advertisement
said a friend, "should be like a woman's
skirt. short enough to be; interesting;
lut Jong enough to cover everything."
Evidently it is time to end this one. Sale resumed Mon
day morning and continued every day next week!
I thank vou,
