KEEP MONEY HOME
MOT EM EXT TO INSPIRE
AMERICAN TRAVEL.
Organization Started at Salt Lake to
Stimulate Americans Who Visit Eur
oW to Spend Their Money at Home
TouriMN SN1lll fiao.ooo.noo a
Tear Abroad, Wlillo Few of Tliem
Are Familiar With America.
The following circular letter has
Just been received by citizens of Salt
Lake City, who are organizing the
Tourists' association for the purpose
of stimulating American travel:
Salt Lake City. Nov. 1. (Editor
East Oregonlan.) We beg leave to In
vite your attention to Die movement
Inaugurated by the Commercial club
of this city looking to the diversion
Into western channels of a part of the
tide of tourist travel now flowing from
America to Europe.
A conservative estimate, mado by
reliable authorities, places the amount
of money expended In foreign coun
tries during the season of 1904-05 by
American sightseers at 1160,000,000.
This great sum was paid in large part
by men and women in search of
health, pleasure or recreation, who,
though native to the United States,
were in comparative Ignorance of the
scenic, climatic and Industrial advan
tages of that portion of our country
lying west of the Mississippi river.
It will, we think, be readily admit
ted that any material part of the
amount named above, if spent in west
ern communities, would not only make
for the great financial betterment and
upbuilding, but would most desirably
extend and Increase the general
knowledge of what this important
section of the nation has to offer to
the Beekers for health, amusement
recreation or Investment, who now
crowd foreign capitals and pleasure
resorts.
We understand, of course, that the
old world will always draw to Itself
many thousands of our people because
of Its historical and religious Interest
its scientific, artistic and musical ad
vantages, and we admit that this Is
proper and desirable; but we do be
lleve that America, and particularly
the western portion thereof. Is entitled
from all the standpoints of interest to
more attention from a certain class of
Americans than It has heretofore re
celved.
As conditions now exist many of
our people are heard raving over the
beauty of the Trossachs, the glory of
the Rhine, the magnificence of . the
Alps, who have never seen and have
but small conception of the grandeur
of the Rocky mountains or the splen
dor of the Columbia river.
In an effort to rectify the conditions
of which complaint Is here made the
Commercial club of Salt Lake City,
naa undertaken the work of awaken
ing interest in this subject among the
business men of the western part of
the United States and of the republic
of Mexico,
Arrangements are now being per
fected for a conference of the gover-"
nors of states and territories affect
ed together with representatives of the
chief commercial organizations of the
west and of the railroads operating In
the Interested section, at which time
the Commercial club will present for
consideration a detailed, definite and
comprehensive plan of procedure.
This conference has boon called for
January IS, 1906.
The particular object of this com
munication Is to solicit the -aid of
your paper In making the movement
a success. It Is earnestly hoped that,
In view of the great Interests Involved
and the far-reaching churucter of the
proposed exploitation of western re
sources and attractions, you will find
it consistent with the policy of your
paper to lend us your help. (,
We have the honor to remain very
sincerely.

Jefferson Memorial association of
Washington, D. C, a national enter
prise which has been started for the
purpose of erecting a beautiful me
morial building In the national capital
In memory of the author of the Dec
laration of Independence.
This association is selling a beauti
fully bound and Illustrated set of Jef
ferson's works, In order to raise funds
for tho purpose of erecting this build
ing. The University of Virginia do
nated Jefferson's complete manu
script works, to be sold for this pur
pose and all the profits above the
actual expenses are turned Into the
building fund.
In this way the association offers
the people excellent value for the
money as well as to further a national
enterprise of Intense interest to all
patriots.
Th New Orleans Picayune raised
125,000 for the fund through a promo
tion of the sales of this set of Jeffer
son's works, for the fund and the
Morning Oregonlan of Portland, will
promote the sales in the Northwest.
The memorial building Is to be an
exact reproduction of the Parthenon
of Athena, a model of Grecian archi
tecture and a site has been donated
by congress In the heart of the capital
near Lafayette Square, In the city of
Washington.
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER
TIRES OF THE ISTIIMl'S.
Jack Rrlstow, Formerly of Spokane,
Comes Rack After Three Mon tits'
Experience Employes Don't Like
Shouts or Taft, Rut Think Stevens
Is All Right Coal Is About the
Only Supply Which Reaches Pana
ma Unadulterated.
Three months In Panama, fighting
yellow fever mosquitoes, eating Pana
ma beans, sleeping duy time In the
tropics In order to keep soul and
body together, and being doped with
government medicine to keep off fe
ver and bed bugs, was enough for
Jack Brlstow, a former locomotive
engineer of Spokane, who hos Just re
turned from Panama and this morn
ing left for Spokane over tho O. R. A
N.
Three months ago Mr. Brlstow pass
ed the civil service examination for
locomotive engineer and since that
time has been employed on the Pan
ama railroad by the United States gov
ernment as an engineer, but wants no
more of It.
He left Panama 20 days ago and
came direct to San Francisco, from
which place he arrived here last night
on his way to Spokane.
He says the government has 60 lo
comotives on the Panama road, all of
which are working constantly, two
shifts of eight hours each doy, making
over 100 engineers in the employ of
the government at the Isthmus. The
engines were mostly left over from
the French contracts and are about
half American and half Belgian. The
engineers are almost wholly Amert
can, a few French engineers being
among them.
Mr. Brlstow says that the work on
the canal and the excitement conse
quent upon it are the only things
which keep Amerlcnns alive on the
Isthmus. There Is such an oppressive
sameness in the long, sultry, swelter
ing days and the mlRty, dense, oppres
sive nights, that a man accustomed to
life and vigorous action would die of
loneliness and monotony were It not
for the activity attending the large
operations on the canal.
He says the employes generally,
highly respect Chief Engineer John
Stevens, but few of them admire Taft
or Shonts. Very little Is seen of any
of the higher officials In Panama, but
their policies are transmitted down to
the lowest position among the laborers
and the men Judge the officials by
their policies.
Brlstow says that about the only
supply which reaches Panama unpol
luted or unadulterated, In some way,
is the coal for the engines. This
comes largely from Missouri and lilt-

Artifice of Incorporation of Electric
Company Filed.
The Portlnnd-Salom Electric Rail
way Fmpany has fll"d articles of In
corporation with the secretary of
state, says the Salem Journal. A nom
inal capital of (100,000 Is stated In the
papers ns the working stock of the
corporation. Of courxe. many times
this umount of money will be Involved
In the various transportation schenfus
of the company, which contemplates
the construction of a network of Inter
urban railways throughout tho Wil
lamette volley.
W. J. Walsh. L. H. Cordes and II.
Dunn are given as the Incorporators
of the company. All three of these
men arc unknown, both In Salem and
Portland, which city Is stated In the
papers as the home office of the com
pany. It Is obvious that the real In
terests behind the road arc at present
determined to keep from publicity.
The Incorporation papers state that
the purpose of the company Is to con
struct, maintain and operate electric
railways between the cities of Salem
and Portland; to carry on such busi
ness as is customary with transporta
tion companies, to "buy, lease and
maintain, dispose of, sell an- operate
franchises and electric light plants In
the state of Oregon; to own and devel
op water powers; to own, sell and ex
change property of whatever descrip
tion, and to borrow money, issue bonds
and conduct any other financial opera
tions as shall become necessary in the
operation of the project.
It Is plain from tho Incorporation
papers that the company Intends to
engage extensively In tho transporta
tion business, and that it also proposes
to control water power and electric
light plants along Its line and In tho
cities In which it operates. Tho capl
tul of ( 100,000 would not, of course,
be sufficient to carry out even such
plans as the projectors have made
public through their agents. An elec
tric line from Snlem to Portland, ap
proximately 64 miles In length, would
cost (750,000 to build and put In
operation.
The llfo of the company, as stated
In its papers, Is to be perpetual. The
filing fee paid the secretary of state
was (67. The pipers were witnessed
by J. B. Wetherell and C. B. Miller.
