Phone Main 202. . - Monmouth, Oregon While the genera' trend of traffic at this season of the year is from the artificial works of civilization to the natural attractions of moun tains and ocean, the Herald man and two sons reversed the process this past week and spent a number of days in Portland. Our exper ience proved that Portland is some thini of a summer resort, itself. Recreation is accomplished by change, and while Portland might learn many things from Los Angel es and San Francisco in the way of presenting its wares to the public whic!i wishes to buy recreation, it nas the goods all right in quantity and quality superior to eivther of them. Of course the Columbia highway is the big feature and a'ong with it trips to Mount Hood, Bull Run park, river trips to Ore eon City, The Dalles and Astoria but aside from these there are very many things within the city in which rural town folk may find de light at this season of the year Typical among these is the Counci Crest ride where the trolley rises to a height of over a thousand feet above sea level within a distance of three or four miles and also Mount Tabor which yields a fine view of the city and surrounding country Collections and exhibits, charac teristic of the locality or presenting age old ideals of humanity, appeal alike to the visitor from country and city and for any one with a mechanical turn of mind there are thousands of things to be seen in the occasional city visit, things that perhaps leave a deeper and more lasting impression than the things which are specialized and catalogued. We found especial interest in the plant of the "Evening Telegram where the big double press with deafening roar ground out the mail edition of" that newspaper. Also Kilham's printing establishment yielded much that was of interest. There we saw color process work under way with automatically fed presses; also machines lor emboss ing, engraving and ruling. It was a pleasure to stand on the Broadway bridge in the evening, watching the river traffic, the launches that with rapid chug-chug, came and went swiftly on their way; steamboats towing long rafts of logs, passenger boats with state rooms alight and the larger craft before whose booming whistle the bridges opened that they might pass through. The trains making up, the switch engines with clang ing bells; the street cars coming and going; the continuous string of automobiles, swiftly speeding in either direction; the electric lights, illuminated signs, brightening and darkening, arcade3, street lights that in the higher sections of the city seemed to hang in the clouds; all had a common interest. For any thing you want or don want try our bargain column. It will buy or sell for you.' tiont o therlver they follow. Our idea of tero In avocations is that of saying pleasant or even pa tient things about the Portland base ball team. The sporting writers on the Portland newspapers accomplish the feat but it must re- diiire an acid proof brand of self restraint. A set-to between the Portland and Oakland teams which was staged Saturday afternoon was enough to have wilted the enthuai asm of even the most hide bound partisan. There was enthusiasm in plenty when in the eighth inning of the fiist game Portland succeed ed in scoring eight runs and it was enthusiasm of the kind where the ilyed in the wool fan stands on his toes,clutches at the whiskers of aban doned glee and yells until the em pyrean dome quivers with his re verberating echoes. At that it was a scene that could be duplicated several times when the Heavy Swat ters and the Never Swet meet on the back forty to decide the cham pionship of Greenacres township. The playing was about the same grade. What between balls muffed and booted, wild pitches and wild throws, bases on tails and batters hit, passed balk and gen eral listslessnesa on the part of many of the players, it was some thing over which the gods might well weep. But one would nevrr suspect it reading the official ac counts of the afternoon. Portland sporting writers have home loyalty developed to the superlative degree. We stopped to talk with I blue coated water front guardian at one of the municipal docks. His spe cialty, he said, was finding corpses oi the drowned in the river. I'e had found four hundred in thirty six years. He claimed to know the waters of the valley from Myrtle Creek to the Columbia and said the waters of the Willamette were treacherous and a large per cent of bodies lost in it were never recov ered. He named instances where bodies had been found, seen first, then brought to the surface by studying the tendency of currents. Ship building-it was ended all over. Why? Because the govern ment contracts were completed nd there was no other work in sight. How about foreign contracts? Non sense, there weren't any. Why should foreign nations hire their ships built when they could build them for themselves. No, the gov ernment never forbade taking for eign contracts. If you have a busi ness and are in shae to handle business, is the government going to make you refuse business. Silly idea, he concluded, and added "I tell you we're in for a hard win ter."
