16 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1D36 OREGON CAVES EXPECTING BIG TOURIST YEAR Oregon Caves National Monu ment, Ore., May 21. Early indica tions point toward a record break ing travel year for thin monument, which began its regular summer season May 15, offering scheduled guide trips through the caves and carrying on complete services. Early travel has shown a remark able Increase during the past two weeks, with out of state points well represented, attesting the growing popularity of the caves area as a scenic attraction. Firm! preparations for the Chateau and Chalet to be In readiness for the summer throng of visitors are now beit.g completed, augmenting hotel and dining room service carried on during the past winter. Accommodations are also available at the cottages at reason able rates. With the arrival of the complete Chateau and Caves crew, evening - programs under the stars around a , blazing campfire will be started, presenting talent from Oregon col leges and universities in songs, in strumental music, readings and oth er entertainment. These programs have gained an enviable reputation for the Oregon Caves and when once heard are long remembered for their beauty. A trip to the monument reveals thousands of wild flowers now in bloom, bordering the highway from Cave Junction to the Chateau and bordering the trails w.thln the mon ument. Along the streams, miles before reaching the caves, the beau tiful white flowers of the dogwood . stand out prominently lntermlng. ling with the new green foliage of vines and Oregon Maple. The bloom, rarely seen by most people, the bright red snow flower has made its appearance and is found under low hanging branches of the live oak and fir. Wild orchids, too, and the Star of Bethlehem add to the colorful living bouquets along the ' way. Enhancing the pleasure of a caves exploration, considerarle Improve ment work has been completed by CCC labor within the caverns dur ing the past .winter, including the graveling of the two miles of pas sage ways and removal of obstruc tions. Roosevelt Wants Lehman to Make Race Washington, May 21 VP presi dent Roosevelt said today he hoped Governor Herbert H Lehman of New York would see his way clear to run for reelection this fall. The executive's comment on Gov ernor Lehman's announcement was conveyed to reporters through Mar vin H. Mclntyre, a sectetary. The president said he had known of the governor's Intentions for some little time a,id personally hoped he would run again. Utility Districts Not Seen as Success From Finance Point of View None of three proposed people's utility districts studied by the Oregon hydroelectric commission would be a financial success on the basis of reports of the commission, the latest of which was on the proposed seven county super district. The commls slon previously released its findings districts proposed for Marion and Linn counties. Cost of building a complete elec trical distribution system to serve the seven counties was estimated at $6,001,000. This would Include dis tribution in all cities ai.d 2855 miles of rural primary lines, 1234 miles more than are now serving this same territory, and would make service available to SMI potential rural customers who are not now served by the private companies. The cost included no generation system, the district's sponsors hav lng in mind purchase and distrlbu tlon of power to be generated at Bonneville dam. The commission estimated that the system's operation would yield a surplus of $157,413 a year for the first four years and $40,008 a year thereafter until the debt burden of the project had been retired. If taxes were to be paid the picture would be entirely changed with the project showing an operating defi clt of $12,729 annually for the first four years and $130,134 annually thereafter until the debt had been retired. An alternative prosrram which would serve all possible customers In the district would cost $6,426,000 and include 472 mile of rural lines In addition to those included In the first project. This system if un taxed, would return $129,061 for the first four years and $3343 in each of the next 26 years. If taxed the system would lose $40,704 for four years and $175,422 annually thereafter. The system assumed In the report was entirely hypothetical, the com mission said, "and It is not likely mat tne. district under present day circumstances would consider con structlon of distribution facilities which would be largely paralleled by present' lines." "The commission also assumed that the proposed district would nave no competition. The report made no allowance for contractors' profits or right away for the hypothetical system, if it were to be constructed. Or if ex isting systems were tc be purchased, there was no allowance for sever ance damages, which would have to be paid by the district if it pur chased only parte of the facilities of private companies also operating outside the seven counties. . While the project would not allow a reduction in rates to the consum er until either consumption of elec tricity showed a substantial Increase or the debt was retired, the com mission pointed out that part of the amounts paid by consumers would go for debt-retirement and that the project would eventually be debt free and rates could be lowered. "Creation of the (Strict would not, of itself, embark the people on a program of ownership and opera tion of a power project," the com mission said. "Should the district be created by the vote of the peo ple an organization would be avail able for making a complete investi gation of the possibilities of acquir ing electrical facilities." A bond Is sue or decision on construction or acquisition of an electrical distri bution system would have to be vot ed on later. The proposed project would in clude most of Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, Fa-k, Washing ton and Yamhill counties, covering 2427 square miles and having population of 143,984.

LETTERS POINT TO INCREASE IN OREGON TRAVEL If the mass of inquiries being re ceived by the travel and informa tion department of the state high way commission is a true index of probable travel Into Oregon for 1036, this year will pass an previous rec ords with a wide margin. Since the first of the year the de partment has received inquiries on Oregon from more than 18,000 per sons from every state in the union and a score cf fore.gn countries. They are asking about' Oregon's beaches, its mountains, its lakes, its Innumerable recreations. resorU, costs and countless other factors having to do with an intended vaca tion. The value of the advertising pro gram being carried forward by the commission Is reflected in large numbers of inquiries "Why haven't we been told about Oregon before?" is the plaintive que ry so often heard. "litre we were, our vacation nearly gone, and we found Oregon," one Pennsylvai. ian wrote. "But we're coming back next summer. Will you send us lit erature on things yau think we should see?" His reaction is typical of hundreds. - Travel bureaus, automobile clubs and other agencies throughout the country and particularly In sections from which Oregon enjoys substan tial traffic are being supplied with "Drive Oregon Highways" folders, fishing pamphlets and highway maps. The travel and information de partment has arranged window dis plays of the choicest collections of Oregon photographs available to be placed in such cities as Chicago, Omaha, St. Louis, Des Moines, Den ver, Los Angeles and San Francisco where hundreds upor. hundreds of thousands of persons will see them in the next few weeks. These dis plays invite' interested persons to write for information that will help them plan an Oregon trip this year. Many interesting observations are contained in the answers to the Now! 5-Year Protection Plan on the New 1936 Ward t lEFIICEHTOK 4 1 imjt i mi ' i. ' ! f j . - ' : ; fTetl. Stand.)

Crater lake, Oregon Caves and Oregon mountains were particular favorites of visitors, the answers show. Many travelers who have tour ed the world over have emphasized the opinion that the Oregon coast and Columbia river Highways were the most beautiful drives on all the earth. The questionnaires also show a rising flow of trailer tourists Inter ested in places where they may ob tain water and electric facilities when they park. Not only Oregon's highways, but Its highway laws ana police , patrol meet the approval of most trawlers. The basic speed law is often men tioned for its sanene&s, and many tourists have high praise for Ore gon's state police. It was when the travel depart ment asked if the travelers wished more Information on Oregon and inciuaea Krmrfl inr nmneji or iripnrf who might visit that it let itself in for a lot of work. A great percentage of those who came o Oregon last year many simply passing through wish to see more of the state and have asked assistance In planning another trip.
