AUTO CARAVAN
HOM
'FAIR PUT OVER
Noisily greeted by a big crowd of
Portlanders, i the 1923 fair caravan
swung into town on scheduled time
Sunday evening with all the pep and
enthusiasm the caravaners - showed
when they pulled out a week ago Sat
urday at noon.
The flret car to arrive at Sixth and
Morrison streets, Sandy's official
photography car, reached-the point for
disbanding at promptly 6:30 o'clock.
The other cars were on .the scene in
a few minutes headed by four police
motorcycles with siren 6creachlng.
The crowd ai cheering and every
body who could get close to Mayor
Baker caught his hand with enthusi
astic greetings. The mayor was im
mediately hustled to the running board
of one of the caravan cars and called
on for a talk.
"We want to thank you all for the
cooperation you have given," the
mayor said. "We have had a wonderful
trip, and so far as the state is con
cerned we have put it over. We have
accomplished what we set out to do
and now it is up to you citizens to
help us finish the job.
COOPEBATIOS ASKED ,
"We are going to organise a "cara
van club" to boost the fair, and every
body who started out with us or joined
us on the trip will be eligible. We have
started something that will go down
in history. What we have done is not
altogether for the fair but for the
whole of Oregon as well. When the
people of the state right with us. We
were given wonderful treatment and
encouragement in every town that we
went into,"
Led by Walter Jenkins the crowd
and the caravan sang "When you come
to Oregon in 1925," the official exposi
tion song. With the singmg completed.
Jenkins demanded that the crowd sing
Old George Baker's better than he
used to be six or seven days ago" a
parody on "Forty-five Years Ago." On
the request of the mayor, Jenkins sang
the state song, and three routing cheers
were given the caravan.
As soon as the crowd began to dis
perse, a number of tourists and repre
sentatives of civic organizations greet
ed the mayor with congratulations ana
assurances that the fair would be
boosted to the limit.
THAVEl 110 MILES
Nearly every car made the entire
trip. Some refused to run in from Sa
lem on the crowded highway at the
necessary speed to arrive at 7 o'clock.
The caravan left Eugene Sunday
morning at 9 o'clock and made short
stops at Junction City andMonroe. At
the latter place the caravan detoured
and visited the Oregon Apple Company
orchards of 400 acres. Here. Sandy,
the photographer, took moving pictures
of the boosters eating apples.
At Corvallis. the biggest crowd of the
day greeted the visitors. Mayor Pf. R.
Moore welcomed the- Caravan, saying
that Benton county was strong for
the fair because it had not forgotten
the Lewis and Clark exposition.
Mayor Baker made the longest speech
of the day at Corvallis, where Otto
HaVtwig, secretary of ho State Peder-:
at ion of Labof, also spoke. Lunch was
taken at Albany where a rousing re
ception was given the caravan. K. I.
Cusick introduced Mayor Baker for a
speech in the absence of Mayor Young.
At 'Salem. Dr. Utter, introduced as
mayor pro-tern, introduced Mayor Bak
er. The radio outfit from Vancouver
Barracks broadcast the speeches at
tlie 3tate capital.
Salem was the last stop and a record
run was' made into Portland.
MANY TOWNS VISITED
The caravan left Portland at noon,
Saturday. August 12, and arrived in
The Dalles for the night. The boosters
left The Dalles Sunday morning and
Arrived in Pendleton- the next main
stop for Sunday night. Lunch was
taken at Heppner Monday noon and
Condon was reached that night.
Tuesday night the autoists arrived
at Bend, where they were met by
Mayor E. D. Glisan. A dinner was
given at night for the Portlanders at
the Pilot Butte inn.
A rousing reception and a chamber
of commrcee dinner featured the pro
gram for Klamath Falls. The caravan
was greeted there by a reception com
mittee of about 125. Friday was given
over to a visit to Crater Lake, where
a dinner was given and a dance held
in the - evening.
Ashland and Medford were the main
stops on Friday, where Mayor Baker
told the citizens of the purpose of
the trip and the plans for the big
exposition. The earavafi left Medford
Saturday morning, stopping at Grants
Pass, Jacksonville, Roseburg, Oakland.
Yoncmlla, Drain, - Cottage " Grove and
Goshen, arriving at Eugene at wghu ;
ALL ABE ENTHUSIASTIC '
'Every member 'of the caravan showed
the greatest enthusiasm over the re
sults of the trip on arrival In Port
land; The whole state is for it, they
said, nd there Is no question about
its success.
Mayor Baker said that not only had
the caravan resulted in some splendid
achievements for the fair, but that it
aroused state loyalty everywhere.
"This is something that should be done
every so often," the mayor said, "re
arantlM nf th . fair, it nuts neo Into
the state and, gets some real patriotic
feeling into- evidence."
Organizations to give the " fair a
boost will be' active in the very near
future. The first of them will be .the
"Caravan Club." suggested by the
miTor. and other will follow rapidly.
A wonderful moving picture story of
Oregon and her resources will surely
be worked out from the numerous pic
tures taken by Sandy" the official
photographer of the caravan. At
Salem "Bill" StranUborg was photo
graphed with Mayor -Baker tempting
him with a piece of ' watermelon neia
just out of reach of Jibs mouth' and
finally smeared over bis head and
face a la Charlie Chaplia.

SERV1C
E
NOT COMPULSORY
Washington, Aug. 21. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
In granting authority to the Southern
Pacific to abandon a branch liAV in
Elko county, Nev., the interstate com
merce commission has laid down some
broad rules of jurisdiction over small
branch lines that are wholly within
a state, and has dented the doctrine
that a losing branch line should be
maintained merely because the sys
tem as a whole is. profitable. ,
The branch in question is eight
miles long, between Tulaseo and .Me
tropolis, and was built to serve an
irrigated section, which will be left
without railroad service by the aban
donment of the line. The Nevada state
farm bureau and the county farm bu
reau protested against the loss of serv
ice, and the attorney general of the
state contested the right of the inter
state commission to enter any order
concerning It.
"While the branch line in question
is located wholly in Nevada, it con
stitutes a part of the applicant's inter
state system of transportation," says
the commission "its opSratJig results
are reflected in the accounts of the
applicant, and the latter would -ie
required to bear or to make good any
deficits from its operation. We are
therefore of opinion that we have jur
isdiction." The commission says the branch line
is of "small public need." and that
the Southern Pacific "should not be
required to operate indefinitely a
branch line which will not-pay cost of
operation, maintenance and taxes, on
the theory that the system as a whole
is operated at a profitT"
The decision was rendered by divi
sion four of the commission, consist
ing of Commissioners Meyer, Potter
and Cox. y

MORE
CONFIDENCE
ii
IN CHEST DRIVE IS
BY FIGURES
A comparative statement Of designa
tions by subscribers to the Portland
Community Chest for the years 1921
and. 1922 shows a marked decrease in
direct designations. This, In the
opinion of the officers and directors -ol
the chest, is Indisputable evidence of
the increasing confidence of the public
in the. .chest as an Institution and in
its administration. !
In 1921 the direct designations totaled
85 05, representing 144.145.13. There
were 899 negative, designations, total
ing I277.S4; 50 contributors designated
non-chest beneficiaries, representing
$9,927.84 ; there was a total of S306
designators. The total designations
amounted to $54,350.31. In 1922 the
direct designations totaled 1706, repre
senting "$10,683.07. There were 311
negative designations, totaling $224.15 ;
24 non-chest beneficiaries were inamed,
the subscriptions amounting te $1772
.47. The total number of designators
was 1947. The total amount of the
designations was $12,679.69. The total
number' of pledges made in 1921 was
35,000, representing $594,713.44. In
1922 there were 32,000 pledges, totaling
$542,716.27.
Edward Cooklngham, treasurer of
the chest,, comments on the foregoing
as follows: "The adoption of the Com
munity Chest plan meant a radical
change in methods in making provision
by the community for its charities and
philanthropies. The first year the
chest was in operation ,it was apparent
some doubt existed in the minds of
many contributors as to the efficiency
pf the plan. These doubts were re
flected in the fact that quite a large
number; of contributors availed them
selves of the privilege given them of
making designations as to the manner
their contributions should be used. This
year the 'number of designations has
been so much less than last year that
it is quite evident that, with some ex
ceptions, the contributors to the chest
have become thoroughly convinced of
the success of the plan.
"Both in numbers of contributors and
in the amounts of the designations the
total is much smaller this year than
last year. This evidence of confidence
On the part of contributors Is re
assuring to the officers and directors
of the chest that the next campaign
will be successfully handled."

Grazing Area May
Opehin ;$aulina
Mountain Country
By the development f a water sys
tem on the Deschutes national forest Sn
Central Oregon, a large grazing ara
in the yellow pine region of the Paulina
mountain country will be utilized, ac
cording to W.' 14. Woodward, fpreft
examiner, who has returned from malt
ing an investigation of Die water possi
bilities. 1
It is estimated that if water can b
brought into the' region which Is now
without a single stream. 10,000 head of
cattle can be accommodated and coat
siderable areas can be opened tip fair
sheep gracing. Utilisation of the fine
grass that grows beneath the yellow
pines would not only be beneficial t
the stock industry, but would reduce
the fire hazard, says foresters, white
the piping of water would be valuable
to the development of the lumber i in
dustry. L
"There are several ways of getting
w ater into the country," said- WoodH
ward. "and the only question lies In
finding the system that will be most
feasible from an economical standi
point."
Indian Agrees to
Dispose of Secret I
Of Lost Gold Mine
'
Goldendale, Wash., Aug. 21. iie
Gillenwaters, Goldendale merchant, jla
negotiating with Charles Wannassiie,
an aborigine from Toppenishi Wasiji.,
for the purchase of the secret of tSe
location of the Lost Spaniard mine,
supposed to be located in the heart of
the Cascade mountains in the vicinity
of the head of the Lewis river between
Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens.
The mine is supposed to have been
discovered by a Spaniard who went
through this section on his way to Tlje
Dalles with a string of pack mules,
loaded with virgin gold. Many unsuc
cessful attempts were made to follow
the miner Intos the mountains and dis
cover the source of his gold supply.
The Spaniard disappeared many years
ago and, according to old timers, was
thought to have been killed by Indians
who also knew the secret of the mine.
During the early settlement of tae
country virgin gold was brought .into
the stores at Goldendale, Yakima and
Ellensburg by Indians and exchanged
for provisions and clothing, but none if
the Indians could be induced to dis
close the source of the gold supply. It
has been several years since the In
dians appeared with any gold but a
number of old Indians on the Yakima
reservation still claim to know the
secret of fabulous deposits of places
gold in the mountain territory des
cribed. Wannassie is not a Yakima Indian
but claims to have obtained the secrwt
from an old member of the tribe just
prior to his departure for the happy
hunting ground not long ago. Wan
nassie Is an educated Indian and west
to school in Illinois. He Is about 0
years old and drives a big automobile,
claiming to own valuable agricultural
lands on the Yakima Indian reserva
tion near Toppenish. He has offered
to pilot Gillen . aters to the mine on & j
"no mine, no pay" proposition.
