LIKES PORTLAND, OREGON

Robert Fraenkel; who left Wausau,
about month ago for Portland, Ore,
writes to one of his friends that he
likes the city very much and says ::
There is an enormous wealth repre-
sented in Portland's business houses,
manufacturing plants and public build
ings; more than you can realize, un-
less you see them with your own eyes.
So far as scenic splendor and beauty
is concerned, Portland. in particular,
and Oregon in general, has certainly
got it in overwhelming abundance
The Columbia river highway for in
stance, leading out from Portland for
many miles is considered by many to
be the most beautiful driveway in the
world and there are large number
of such driveways leading out from
here If one visits Portland and her
beautiful parks and private gardens
he will understand why this city was
named "Rose City" by which name
it is known all over the United States
| had the pleasure of seeing a number
of parks, also taking in several auto
rides along the Columbia and other
drive ways, and the impressions you
carry away from these most beautiful
places, linger in your mind for long
time. A submarine was anchored at
one of the docks here short while
ago and great crowds of people went
down to see it during the time it was
here. The boat formerly belonged to
Germany, but is now the property of
the United States. Portland has about
twenty theatres and moving picture
houses and some of them are very fine
and the prices of admission are very
little difference than in Wausau."
