NORTHWEST Will GO
AFTER THE TOURIST

Last week at q meeting in Tacoma
of representatives of Oregon, Wash
inpton and British Columbia was
formed the North Pacific Coast Tourist
Association of the three districts, the
purpose being to combine interests and
90 after the tourist dollar on more
business like basis than has been pur-
sued. As Hood River knows. the pro-
motion campaign of settlement used a
few years back was not productive of
lasting results, and the general con-
census of opinion is that more harm
than good resulted. The settler fol-
lows the tourist, not the tourist the
settler. Denver. Colo, raised a fund
| of SIS, 900 in 1915 and claims to have
brought $50, COO, 600 of outside money
into the state through tourist travel.
Eight counties in California have had
for several years a millsge tax in their
budget, and average the results at
$35, 600, ,00Q year. 1t is not the auto
mobile traveller alone who is wanted,
because he is much in the minority: but
the traveller who comes on the train,
and spends a few hours or days here
and there. Efforts will be made to
prolong his stay in the various CON-
munities, and various trips are out.
lined for his study and placed in
printed form before the fireplace in bis
eastern home.
1t is figured that the hot summer of
this year and continuation of the war
will drive thousands to the Northwest
next year. The meantime must be
used in presenting our case. The auto
mobile clubs all over the country get
out their own printed matter for the
automobile traveller. ard the railroads
already spend tnonsndas of dollars in
this direction.
Tie legislatures of Oregon and W ash
| ington will be asked to vote S25, 900
each and British Columbia Sl2, 500,
making $62, 800 year for two years to
90 after this business. British Colum-
bia has been spending for several years
Sl2, 900 a year in this direction and is
more than satisfied with results.
The Association as formed consists
of "a directors. eight from each dis.
trict, Hood River being represented by
R. E. Scott. Officers will be elected
and six executive directors chosen to
handle the business. The Association
will be incorporated. ID. r. Todd, of
Victoria, and H. c. Cuthbert. of the
same place. were elected president
and secretary Of the Association. Both
have been associated for several years
with the business which has produced
such satisfactory results for British
Columbia. Mr.. Cuthbert is industrial
and emigration commissioner for Brit
isb Columbia and has been in the busi-
ness of promoting tourist travel for Is
years.
If the legislatures of Oregon and
Washington can be prevailed upon to
furnish the funds Offices will be estab-
lished in Chicago, from which point
the active campaign will he pushed,
that city being recognized as the
starting point of travel in this direc-
tion.
"There will be no doubt of British
Columbia's funds" according to Mr..
Cuthbert, "and it depends upon Ore
gon and Washington whether they wish
to Join with US in movement that we
have found extremely profitable. You
have the goods, to sell. but have been
dilatory in presenting them.

Civilization

The wonderful lnce feature, "Civil-
ization, comes to the Electric theatre
November / for a two days engage.
ment and the Portland Oregonian on
August 20 comments as follows:
Civilization, now being screened at
the Heilig Theatre, is of the most dar-
ing protests against selfshness and in
humanity of war OF greed and acqusi-
tion the world has known. There is a
bombardment of city by aeroplanes
where great buildings are demolished
and hundreds left dead under the debris
of the buildings. There is naval bat
tie where dreadnoughts and SUPER
dreadnoughts are battered to pieces and
sunk. One scene shows mass of SOL
diers fighting in trench which is in
the range Of the enemy's shells and
shrapnel. A great ocean liner is tor
pedoed and women and children
drowned. Hardly less vivid is a su.
peIbly staged fight in the interior Of
submarine when its commander, sick
ened at slauhgter. opens the torpedo
tube and sends the engine of death to
the bottom.
Many scenes of Civilization" grip
the spectator tremendously. The trans!
ition from peace to war comes like a
thunderclap. The miseries of the con-
scripton system are shown in virile
manner and it is not until the Christ,
reincarnated in the body of the SUBJ
marine commander, returns to earth
and works his miracles anew that the
audience relaxes a bit of its Tension
and learns to love peace for its own
sake.
Civilization" is to humanity what
water is to the parched throat of the
desert traveller. II brings back sanity
and understanding and is the most
powerful protest against war in the
history Of the civilized world. says one
critic.
It is safe to predict that the Electric
theatre will be taxed to its limit as
the attraction certainly deserves it.

JOURNAL DOCK OFFER
Is CALLED A FARCE

Members of the Hood River Com
mercial Club, which Immediately fol-
lowing the offer of the Portland Jour-
nal last spring to furnish legal and
engineering advice to all communities
on the Upper Columbia in need of pub
lie wharf facilities. wrote asking for
aid, characterizes the offer of the
Journal as a "roaring farce"
1--WE applied for the Journals aid in
all good faith" says R. E. Scott, sec-
retary of the local commercial organ
ization, and mighty good committee
of local men. including Truman But
Ter. j. n. Koberg and Edw. Hawkes.,
was secured to take hold of ssthe dock
problem. We went to work, but our
committee was soon worn out in dis.
gust with the delays of the Journal.
We gave up any idea of securing aid
from the Journal several months ago,
and the club wrote to G. B. Hegardt,
engineer of the Public Dock Commits
sion of Portland, asking him. at our
own expense, to come here and give US
some assistance. The publicity of the
Journal. however, relative to its efforts
had led him to believe that we should
turn our case over to the paper, and he
also informed US that he could not &C.
cept employment from other sources
without some action by the Commits
sion."
MIR. Scott declares that despite all of
the letters and talk of the Journal the
local committee has never received any
material assistance except on one
occasion when Ex-Governor Oswald
West came here and looked over the
situation. He Immediately told the
committee that the people of Hood
River were in need Of assistance of
an engineer before any legal advice
would be of benefit to them.

fitfully by bluebirds, house wrens, and
crested aycatchers.
A bird count was made by an ornithol-
ogist in each of the last FIVE years, and
the results show q steady and pronounc-
ed gain In the number of kinds of birds
nesting about the place, and still great
or gain In the total number OF nesting
pairs. Indeed, the gain 10 this latter re-
spect, SO percent in the Eve years, is
more than may be explained by the
growth of bird food and shelter on the
place and is probably due to the entire
freedom from disturbance which the
birds have come to recognize.
1t is interesting to note the change in
the character Of the bird population
from year to year. While AZ kinds of
birds nested on the place In the course
OF the five years, the greatest number in
any one year was only "a, while each
year dozen or more kinds of birds
nested within sight of the so acres, but
not within the enumeration area itself.
These examples show bird lovers what
surprisingly satisfactory results may
follow persistent and intelligent efforts
to attract birds.

Our Duty to the Soil.

We once heard farmer say, II can't
pay much attention to the fertility OF my
soil. The farm will last ss long as de" !"
There is great host of farmers who
look upon farming in about that light
In reality about all the money they
make is in selling the fertility OF their
farm. Men do not measure their duty as
a rule in that way. We feed, clothe,
and educate our children on the prln'
cipls that we owe them duty, the re-
snlts of which will last after we are
gone. No farmer can grow as . man
and citizen, develop In brain and ability
ss farmer unless he takes good care OF
his soil.
The spirit that farmer manifested
meant death to his standing as farmer,
and lat us add it meant death to bis In
crease In wealth. There can be no real
profit In farming in that way. Look
over the history Of the farmers In the
eastern states who acted on that prin-
ciple. Many Of them wasted away in
fortune Just az their farms are wasted.
The good Lord sees to 1t that financial
nunishment follows the man who mines
ont his soil. We knew scores OF farmers
in coed old New York who died CON-
narstively poor, simply for the reason
That thew we're poor farmers.

Plants That Give Hest

We do not, az a rule, think Of plants
as giving out heat yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
Of temperature. Most remarkable In
this respect are certain kinds Of Arum.
Just at the opening Of the flower In
these cases there Is a great liberation
Of heat. This Is due to the fact that
the respiration, or breathing, Is at
such times very vigorous. Some very
interesting experiments have been car
ried out in connection with these
Arums by means Of placing Their
mometer Just inside the spathe. One
Of the most remarkable cases was that
Of a species growing on the Mediter-

was 90 degrees at the time Of the e1-
