cliooBlnR the stenographer they wanted
(a capable girl able to do his work and
keep her mouth shut) had been Inform
ed that she was the party to choose
by other friends of ours. One day about
five or six weeks after she (tot there
she informed us that a great packing
case was being filled up with prop
aganda documents and with bills of
expense in connection with explosions
in munition plants and other vital and
valuable things, and was to be shipped
off the following week right straight
to England on a Swedish ship and from
there to Germany.
Vo Papeu Flirt.
"'The only thing we could possibly
do was to identify the package. Ono
day when they were about to close the
package up this girl under instruc
tions and I may say incidentally she
is now back at work getting her $16 a
week sat on this box eating her lunch.
Nearly everybody else had gone, but
Von Papen, rather debonair and fond
of ladies, wandered In and sat on the
packing box and asked If he could
share her lunch with her. She said
ueVtainly, and while they were sharing
the sandwiches he made some senti
mental advances and she in a dreamy
way took out a large red pencil an
drew two big red hearts on this pack
ing case. It was Captain Von Papen
himself who put an arrow through
them. And, ladles and gentlemen, when
the ship Austrias reached Falmouth
they picked that package out of the
hold antf from about a hundred and
fifty others and Identified It by the two
big red hearts. And yet they say there
are no brilliant people but the Ger
mans.' "Another Incident, the loss of a port
folio belonging to Dr. Heinrlch Albert,
an Austrian official, which contained
papers relating to Ambassador Dumba's
efforts to Incite labor troubles In the
United States, created quite a stir
among the diplomats. Mr. Rathom told
of how a Journal reporter got the pa
pers as the result of which Uumba was
sent back to Austria by the President.
" 'One of the Journal reporters had
been shadowing Doctor Albert in New
York, but for months nothing seemed
wrong. One day he went Into a leather
?oods store, where he ordered a port
olio and gave the salesman instruc
tions to put his initials on it. The re
porter, as soon as Albert had gone out,
walked up to the salesman and ordered
another portfolio of the same kind, but
with no initials, saying he would rath
er see how the other gentleman's In
itials looked. When he came back and
saw the Initials he said he didn't like
them and departed to go to another
shop and have the same initials put on
his portfolio. His work was becoming
less tiresome and less fruitless than it
had been.
" 'A day or two later Albert, carry
ing the new portfolio, was followed
from the front of his apartments by the
Journal man, Albert boarded an ele
vated train. He placed his bag con
taining papers on the seat beside him.
Suddenly he was stirred by a fight in
the front end of the car. As he stood
up to see what the trouble was, as did
nearly everybody else In the car, the
portfolios were changed. This happen
ed on Saturday morning. Albert, In a
statement later, said that he discovered
the trick the same day, but we know
for a fact that he did' not discover the
difference until Monday morning. Need
less to say, the men who were fighting
on the street car were also In the em
ploy of th Journal.'
"It was through the Journal, Mr.
Rathom said, that a great quantity of
Important papers were secured from
Wolf von Igei. These papers revealed
the Casement plot for the Irish upris
ing. When the papers were taken, Mr.
Rathom said, In Illustrating his point
that there is a certain amount of stu
pidity In all German diplomats, Von
ilernstorff made application to the
state department to have them return
ed. He was told that any paper he
could Identify would be returned to
him, and then realized that he had com
mitted himself in asking that the pa
pers be returned.
Aakc4 Jearaal'a Sapprcaaln.
"Three days after Bernstorff was or.
dered to return to Germany, Mr. Rath
om declared, he demanded that the Am
erican government suppress the Provi
dence Journal.
" 'Every statement that we have
made in regard to German plots In the
United States has been proven to be
positively true,' declared Mr. Rathom.
'For the first nine or ten months no oiye
believed what we were saying. The
dismissal of Doctor Dumba was the
flrBt result of our months of effort.
" 'We have not Drinted one-fiftieth of
j what we secured, but we were very
glad, when events turned, to turn the
' key in the safe In which it is deposited
and forget the balance, because the
work we tried to do has been accomplished."

SELLING THE NORTHWEST.
Plans Fully Developed By the Pacific
Northwest Tourist Association
for Getting Tourist Trav
el for the Northwest.
YES. THE GAZETTE-TIMES CAN PRINT IT
Last winter the legislatures of
Oregon and Washington and the Par
liament of British Columbia appro
priated $112,000 as an advertising
fund to attract tourist travel to the
Northwest.
The Pacific Northwest Tourist As
sociation is the organization for
spending the funds, and the board of
directors has just concluded a meet
ing at Seattle where plans were made
for beginning the big drive to attract
the vacationists of the world to the
Northwest in 1918.
It should be understood that the
only paid representative of the organ
ization is the secretary, Herbert
Cuthbert, of Seattle, who draws $300
per month. All other officers work
for nothing, the directors even pay
ing their own railroad fare and hotel
bills when attending the frequent
meetings.
During the past Summer It was
thought that the war would make it
impossible to secure tourist travel to
the Northwest. But, notwithstand
ing that influence, the advertising
the tourist association placed in auto
mobile and newspapers west of the
Rocky Mountains had . the effect of
bringing more visitors than Oregon
has ever had In any previous year.
Consequently the directors took,
steps for vigorous advertising during
the coming winter and have estab
lished connections which give the
Northwest direct representation in 35
cities of the United States.
One hundred thousand .booklets
showing the scenic resources of Ore
gon. Washington and British Colum
bia are being printed, as are book
lets on fishing, hunting, golfing, mo
toring and mountaineering. These
are to be distributed direct to Inter
ested people through the agency of
"Ask Mr. Foster" service, the largest
and most efficient tourist bureau of
the world. Special exhibits are to be
maintained at Atlantic City, New
Yprk and in three tourist centers In
the South.
Northwest literature will be kept
freali in the leading hotels and rail
way offices in New York, Washington,
Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Buf
falo, Indianapolis, Omaha, Atlantic
City, Cleveland, St. Louis and Minne
apolis. Forty thousand dollars are to be
expended this winter in printing a
series of advertisements In the lead
ing newspapers and magazines that
are circulated in the centers of popu
lation where the most tourist travel
is originated. These newspapers and
magazines are being carefully select
ed, and the advertising will be placed
by a Pacific Coast Agency.
Ten thousand display cards are to
be printed in four colors and hung np
In the garages and leading hotels of
the country.
A specially prepared Invitation is
being printed to be sent to all gov
ernors, mayors, presidents of auto
clubs, and other organizations, ask
ing them and their members to spend
a vacation in the Northwest.
When the sections of America
where snow Is heavy are this Winter
digging snow, they will suddenly be
confronted with an advertisement
calling attention to the mild winters
of the Northwest. When they swel
ter next Summer, the ads will again
remind them of the delightfully cool
season out here.
The headquarters of the associa
tion are now in the Smith building,
Seattle, where any citizen of the
Northwest will be welcomed and giv
en full information about what Is be
ing done.
The Oregon men who are giving
their time to this work are Phil Met
schan, Jr., J. P. Jaeger, W. J. Hof
man, Emery Olmstead, J. C. Ains
worth, Ben W. Olcott, Robert W.
Sawyer, H. A. Latta, J. H. Koke, J.
W. Seimons, R. E. Scott and Leslie
Butler.
Edith Young, a twelve year old
girl of Salem, won first prize on cake
and biscuit in the Domestic Science
department of the State Fair. The
articles were made from Heppner
flour.
The Supreme Court cf the state
has handed down a decision which
permanently locates the county seat
of Jefferson county at Madras. This
marks the end of fight that has been
going on between Madras and Culver
for the county seat since 1914.
