Auto Camp Has Fall Aspect
Tourists Begin to Decrease
Ochoco Project's
Critics Unjust, Is
Word of Experts
i
Salem, Sept 11. Recent criticisms of
the design of the Ochoco Irrigation
project are not Justified, In the opinion
of Charles E. Stricklln of the state en-.
gineer's omce here, and J. C. Stevens,
consulting engineer of Portland, who
completed reports on their findings in
an investigation of the project for the
state . engineer's office and for the
underwriters of the bonds of the dis
trict. "The project today is in as good con
dition, both physically and financially,
as can be expected, a report prepared
by Stevens reads. "The cost - of the
project is moderate and considerably
lower than many other projects similar
in character.
"The water supply is adequate for
the lands if ordinary care and economy
are exercised in its use. The canal
can safely be brought up to Its designed
capacity, and this will furnish suffi
cient water for the lands under the
project."
The project includes approximately
22,000 acres of irrigable land near
FrfnevUle. In Crook county. ,

.Vagrants Cause of
Fire Burning Barn
Tire, presumably caused by vagrants.
aestroyed the barn of A. T. Trier, No.
1694 Divisioh street at 26th avenue and
4th street S. EL. about 10 o'clock Sat
urday night. Destruction of tools and
an automobile In the barn. made the

to Lieutenant W. C. Cooper of the fir

Open vistas .beneath the trees where i
a few weeks ago the cars were crowded j
mark the "general appearance of the j
auto camp in its fall aspect, now that !
the heavy travel of summer has fallen
off.. Lines full of drying clothes and
tousled heads of drying hair were the
principal features of the scattered
camp Friday. It was the first bright
sunshiny day "for some, time, and all
the bedding and clothing that bad be
come damp in the Oregon mist was
hung but to dry, ; and . nearly every
woman on the ground washed her hair.
. ,
Mr. and Mrs. C Si Paxton are leav
ing Madison, Wis., for good. It is too
cold back therewith winters it below,
zero. They expect to reside somewhere
on the coast but are taking their time
to decide. From Portland they will go
to Seattle and later they will take in
California,
"We like Portland," they said. We
think there is more hustling in its
business section than in Pittsburg with
three times its population. But we
have noticed that western " cities are
that way.- It -is wonderful, Some
western towns of li.000 are busier than
eastern cities of 30,000."
"I can't get over the wonderful
flowers here," Mrs. Paxton added on
her own account 'The big roses and
the hydrangas. I never saw any pur
ple hydrangeas until I saw these in
Portland. And the dahlias and asters !
And we are surprised at your farming
country."
Paxton is a salesman.
.
There are three automobile parties
that travel together. All are composed
of retired folks, from widely scattered
cities, who never knew each other be
fore;, but who have combined and are
headed somewhere in California for
the winter. "
Mr. apd Mrs. Enos Sbaftr of Grin
nell, Iowa, make up the first party.
They took in the Black Hills, Yellow
stone park and various other attrac
tions and were particularly impressed
with the excellence of the roads, con
sidering the roughness of the country
they crossed. They are retitred farm
ers. In the second party are Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Nellor of Beemer, Neb., likewise
retired. They plan to spend their
"vacation" down the coast. They have
had a fine trip, with no more serious
"mishap than a puuncture, and no eick-
; ness or breakdowns at all.
."Your highway down the Columbia
is the prettiest thing we have seen in
scenery," Nellor said.
Mr: and Mrs. George A. Henntagson
of Watertown. S. D.. are in the third
party. Hennlngson has been in his
time a farmer, a hardware dealer, a
banker and a few other things, and is
now learning how to be a motor tramp.
He likes camp life.
Robert Brown and his parents, Mr.
and Mr. Charles Brown, from Rock
Springs, Wyo., have had a fine summer.
They left home early in April and took
a Jaunt through several states to Los
Angeles, where they spent two and a
half months. Then the father had to
hurry home and attend to business
he is a master mechanic for several
mining concerns so he took the train
and Robert and his mother have start
ed to drive back. They will g to Se
attle before returning to 'Wyoming.
"Robert was hnvinr considerable-diffi
culty with the car Friday ft persisted
in running on but three cylinder.
- - - ...
The whole Feebler family- were at the
camp Friday eight of thenr and the
cat The Peeblers are from Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada, and they are related
to the family of ' Peeblers at Albany,
Or, whom they are going to visit for
a month, for the first time in five
years. The oldest little Peebler is 13
and the youngest is 2, and the family is
about the happiest in the camp.
They came over the Columbia high
way for the first time, and Peebler
said it was the finest thing he ever
saw. "We have Just as fine scenery
in the Canadian Rockies", he said, "but
one has to watch the road so closely
one can't see it There are lots "better
roads here than in Canada."
The Peeblers from Canada are stag
ing: a big surprise on the Albany Peeb
lers, who do not know they are coming.
m
Six of Belllngham's population are
on their way to Los Angeles, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Singleton and their little
daughter. Fredalene, Mabel Marr, Ju
dith Osberg and C. D. McJJonell. The-4
Singletons plan to stay there, ana tne
others -will remain a week, a month
or the winter Just as they decide.
The worst road we struck was at
Chehalls. Wash.." they said. "We got
stuck in the mud along with everybody
else. No .one can get through without
settine stuck. A farmer ""happening
through with a load of grain had td
pull us out He was very ODiiging
about it One milk wagon tipped over
in the mud and spilled 20 cans of milk.
We found the best camps at Tacoma
and here. But the Portland camp sur
passes that of Tacoma in the gas for
cooking. Tacoma has only the wood
stoves."
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Buree and Mr
and Mra C. B. Souder and little girl
from Spokane have arrived in Portland
tc locate. They are going to star a
garage. They went to California first
intending to ooen their business tnere,
but having arrived, they didn't like
California, so they came back to Port
land.
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Barnett and fam
ily and two youngsters are leaving
their grocery business at Walla Walla
in the bands or tneir orouier ana rs
taking a long needed vacation which
may last a month ana perhaps xnree.
It is the first time they have been able
to get anyone to take charge of the
store so that they couia nave a vaca
tion, and they plan a good one this
time. They are headed for California.
George W. Forbes will first say that
Los Angeles is the finest city on eartn,
snd in the next breath will admit he
likes Portland, that he has sold out his
f business in California and that the
chances are he .will start in business
again somewhere else. He buys boteis,
enerates them and sells them at a
profitable figure. He thinks the Co
lumbia highway is the most wonderful
in the country. Mrs. Forbes is with
him and she almost bought put Port'
land stores on a shopping trip Friday.
"A hopfield owner from Independence
picked the auto camp as a profitable
siera from' which to enlist hoppickera.
A day of soliciting and he had rounded
up 70 individuals who agreed to go
out to tne noprieias rriasy. ,
When Superintendent Fat Keaney at
tempted to decorate the windshield of
a San Francisco woman with the Port
land rose sticker which' most tourists
love to have aa souvenirs, he met with
opposition. A storm of verbal objec
tions descended on Pat's defenseless
head. The woman told him he waa no
gentleman to try and stick a rose 'on
tier car. Keanev retreated, but It waa
the next day before peafce waa restored.
