Oregon State Motor asso ciation, U ono of a series de signed to promoto travel ia the Pacific northwest. Today's rticla has boon condensed I from motorlog appaaring Mb Tba Sunday Oragonlaa ' Jum 23. BY LEE-BOSTWICK SUM Wnur, Tb Otomim f IN THIS YEAR when Amer. team are traveling America in greater numbers than never be fore, the Black Hills and Bad Lands of South Dakota are rap- ildly gaining In popularity as itourut attraction!. Here in Oregon this may ap pear on the surface to have little meaning since the Black Hills axe approximately 1S00 miles away. However, the popularity of the Black Hills and Bad Lands Is of consider able significance to the Pacific northwest. This scenic section with its wealth of historical background Is on the shortest route between the densely populated centers to the east and Yellowstone National park and the Pacific northwest Oregon and the Pacific northwest will share In the in creased tourist crop of the Black Hills section. From the Black Hills westward all the states are linked together in the growing tourist industry with each section co-operating with the other sections in ad vertising tourist attractions and developing a business that reaches to practically every Individual. "Get acquainted with your neighbor, see what he has to offer, then help him sell it to the traveling public and he will help you in turn." Such was the theme of a travel develop ment caravan which left Port Band recently to tour the Black Wills region. Northern Callfor till. Oregon, Washington and British Columbia were represented. There are numerous routes fthat can be taken from Port land to the Black Hills. The motorist has the choice of the Evergreen highway In Wash- One of the principal sights la the Black Hills country is the Mount Rushmore national mono Bent where the faces of Washington. Jefferson. Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are being carved into the granite of a mountain. Ington and the Columbia high way In Oregon in going through the Columbia river gorge. The Washington route can be followed through Yak ima to U. S. highway 10 with a side trip to Grand Coulee dam, then on through Spokane, Wallace, Missoula, Butte and on Into Yellowstone National park. From Yellowstone one has the choice of U. S. 14, IS and 20 through the Wyoming country to Rapid City, which is the hub for tours through the Black Hills and Bad Lands. The Oregon route along the Columbia offers two choices, one over U. S. highway 395 to Spokane to U. S. 10 and the other over U. S. 30 to Pocatello and then on U. S. 191 to Yel lowstone. 'Each route has plenty to of fer in the way of attractions during the three days required to reach the Black Hills. The northwest caravan followed the first-named route with overnight stops In Spokane, Butte, Yellowstone and Casper. However, the more direct route from Cody, Wyoming, Is along U. S. 14 to Sheridan and U. S. 18 to the Black Hills. At Rapid City the Pacific northwest caravan was wel comed by Jarvis D. Davenport, president, and R. L. Bronson, executive secretary, and other members of the Black Hills and Bad Lands association. The climax of any visit to the Black Hills Is a trip to Mount Rushmore National monument, the shrine of democracy, where the noted sculptor, GuUon Borglum, has carved in the 0000-foot granite mountain the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roose velt Thirteen years in the mak ing, there are still two years of labor remaining, before this great memorial ia completed. These colossal carvings are all the more remarkable be cause the only trained men working on the project have been Sculptor Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum. The others have been local miners. There are good highways leading to the memorial and where tunnels have been neces- sary they have been constructed , so as to lorm a Iramtf for the four faces in shining granite. Nearest viewpoint is 1300 feet from the carvings. In addition to Rushmore monument there is much more to be seen in the Black Hills, a region with a fascinating story of earth making. This story ranges from the ancient fossil beds of Bad Lands National monument where prehistoric alligators, rhinoceroses, three toed horses and other long extinct animals once roamed, to the lofty "needle" formations which erosion has sculptured in the granite high up the pine clad slopes of the Black Hills. In the southern Black Hills region is Wind Cave National park, between Custer and Hot Springs. Wind cave lies in the great Pahaspa limestone forma tion which also contains sev eral other large subterranean caverns. Wind cave was dis covered In 1881 when a hunter was attracted by a strange whistling caused by wind es caping through a small hole in some rocks. SeSVlMvlTSa swrar-jsj ...... KZ-wm "V. :' m J' V .

(Pi Nation-wide Justice department investigation of the railroad sleeping car setup moves today into federal district court In a civil action against the Pullman companies and an imposing list oi financial leaders. Seeking to separate the man ufacture of sleeping car equip ment from its operation, the de partment charged in a statement outlining its case that the Pull' man companies: Have refused to operate modern light-weight railroad equipment purchased by the railroads from any manufacturer other than the Pullman-Stand ard Car Manufacturing com pany, and have threatened to withdraw the existing sleeping car service and operations if railroads should buy and oper ate themselves any cars made by other manufacturers." Rates Attacked Further, the department said it would attempt to prove that the Pullman organization through an operating monopoly "charges the public artificial and unreasonably high prices for Pullman accommodations, and exacts non-competitive and onerous terms from railroads for the sleeping car service which it provides." Among those named by the department are J. Plerpont Mor gan, Richard K. Mellon, Sewell Avery, Alfred P. Sloan. Jr., Harold S. Vanderbilt, George Whitney, C. W. Seabury, H. S. Morgan, all directors of one or more of the companies. Production Hamstrung Other defendants were listed as the Pullman company, the operating unit; Pullman-Standard car Manufacturing com pany, the manufacturing unit: Pullman, Inc., holding company which owns the first two; and Pullman Car & Manufacturing corporation of Alabama. Forcing the railroads to use its 6,000 sleeping cars, many of which are more than 20 years old, the Pullman company has ' hamstrung ' production of mod ern equipment by independent manufacturers, the department charged.. CONDITIONS IDEAL FOR RECREATION FOREST AREAS Mosquitoes Are Decreasing at All Levels, Camping and Picnicking at Best The following recreational bulletin was issued today by Rogue River national forest headquarters: . "That there are now fewer mosquitoes at all elevations is probably the best news of the week for recreationists In the Rogue River national forest The mosquitoes are always at their worst for a short period after the melting of snow; this year the unusually early season is resulting in a correspondingly early freedom from these pests. "Nights are cool and daytime shade with cool breezes also of fers relief from valley heat. Roads and trails are all in good condition, flowers still bloom ing profusely in the higher country and camping, picnick ing and motoring are at their best. Fishing is excellent In most of the upper streams and lakes. In the Union Creek district, ex cellent fly fishing is available In the Rogue river at all parts above Natural bridge: grass hoppers are bringing good catches In Bybee, Crater, Na tional and Mulr oreeks for ang lers who go away from the highway for short distances. Buck canyon, Fish Creek val ley, and the Fish lake on the Umpqua divide offer good op portunities for those desiring to leave the main-traveled routes. "In the Butte Falls district limit catches are being taken from the south and middle forks with grasshoppers and flies; Blue lakes and Seven lakes are yielding good catches, while In Big Butte and its tributaries fishing has been only fair. Good catches are reported from Sky lakes; Fish lake is fair for eastern brook; at Four- mile lake still fishing with cluster eggs is bringing excel lent catches of silversides and rainbow are being taken on troll with spinner and eggs or with spinner and troul-Oreno. In Little Butte creek above the Dead Indian Soda Springs and near the South Butte forest camp good catches of trout are being taken with grasshoppers. At Hyatt lake bass are being caught with artificial flies but crappies are not biting so well as usual. "In the Rogue river outside the national forest, trout fishing is reported to be excellent its entire length. The water is low and clear and trout are rising to royal coachman, grizzly king, professor and queen of the water flies. The trout are run ning unusually small this year. A few steelhead are being taken but the summer run has not reached this vicinity. "Organization camps are in full swing at Lake of the Woods, with 100 Boy Scouts from the Medford area, 25 Klamath Falls Junior Police, a group of Klam ath Campfire Girls and Girl Scouts preparing their Camp Esther Applegate, and Jackson and Klamath county home makers coming In Sunday for a week. Each of these groups has its own area and will in no way interfere with the use of the camgrounds by the general public. "Here's a new theme In our old warning: America's natural defense. Their protection begins with preventing forest fires. So be patriotic be careful of firs In the woods!" FIRST TUNA BOATLOAD ARRIVES AT ASTORIA Astoria, Ore., July 12. Pt The first boatload of tuna fish reached Astoria today and re ports of an exceptionally strong run off the Oregon coast. Size of the load was not re vealed.
