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

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.

If the mass of inquiries being re

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

and a score cf fore.gn countries.

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

questionnaires sent to persons who
last year registered their cars as vis

highway, the Columbia river high
way. 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

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

tourists have high praise for Ore
