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."
