that they may hear of the where
abouts of the elks.
No effort will be made to recap
ture the elks, but information is
sought only as to their whereabouts

Portland Prepares
For Buyers Week

Portland merchants are making
unusual preparations for the fifth
annual Buyers Week which is to be
held in that city August GIL.
1t is an effort that is regarded with
unusual interest by the merchants of
the northwest because of the oppor-
tunitY that 1t gives them to become
personally acquainted with the
wholesalers and jobbing houses with
whom they carry accounts, to inspect
the greatest stocks of goods in the
northwest, and to keep their local
merchandising affairs abreast of the
times. It is great, big cooperative
plan that fits the needs of both the
retailer and jobber.
Buyers Week has been steadily
growing in Portland and each year
more Of the merchants of this vicinity
attend. Many of them take their fam
lilies and while in Portland are ex-
tended an unusual amount of hospi-
tality.
The program of events for this
year has not been fully worked out,
but the merchants of Portland are
announcing their intention of making
it the best and biggest affair they
have ever rendered their out-of-town
customers.
AS usual, Portland will this year
refund railroad fares to every mer-
chant who purchases goods amount
ing to $500 or more. Merchants of
this vicinity who make the journey
should purchase a ticket one way at
full fare and take receipt for the
money paid. The receipt will be val
idated at Portland and the return
ticket will be sold at one-third the
regular fare.

National Parks '-
Are Organized

The National Park Service which
was created by act of congress in
August, 1916, to administer the ma
tional parks under one correlated
system, has been organized under ap-
propriations made in April. Secre-
tary Lane has appointed as director
Stephen T. Mather, who, to accept the
place, resigned the office of assistant
of the secretary of the interior. Hor-
ace M. Albright becames assistant di-
rector and Frank w. Griffith chief
clerk Of the new bureau.
Secretary Lane began the work of
national parks development, the sue
cess of which is insured by the organ
ization of this new bureau, two years
and half ago. During this prelimi-
nary period much has been accom-
plished Of Importance to the cause.
All national PARKS have been opened
to automobiles New roads have been
projected of which many have been
built and many improved. Co-opera-
tion in the public interest has been
promoted between railroads and the
government, between concessioners
and park managements and between
parks. Large private capital has been
induced to enter several national
national parks for the enlargement
and improvement of hotel and trans
portation service. Prices to the pub
lie have been decreased wherever pos
sible.
New concessions have been made
on basis destined to make national
parks self-supporting under condi-
tions of increased patronage, and sew
eral parks already have become self
supporting. Larger appropriations
have been secured from congress for
road building and the perfecting of
sanitary and other conditions. An ex-
tensive educational campaign has
been inaugurated for the information
of the people concerning the hitherto
unknown quality and extent of their
scenic and recreational possessions,
under which public interest In our
national parks is growing with unan-
ticipated speed; and public realiza-
tion, interest and practical use is the |
as we'll as the object of ma
tional parks development. Public
patronage of the parks has increased
rapidly and steadily.
These and many other beginnings
point the way toward the system
which it will be the object of the new
service to build and perfect.
