NORTHWEST IS MAGNET
FOR 1887 TOURIST TRAVEL

AS the 1897 tourist travel season
begins to gain momentum, indications
are that the northwest-with the at
traction of the Grand Coulee dam;
with good roads now crossing Mon
tana from the east; and with its cool
lakes and mountains Turing Californ-
ians from the south--wiII receive the
largest number of summer visitors in
its history
A recent travel survey and personal
contact trip made in California by
w. G. Owes, of the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce, who represented the
Pacific Northwest Tourist association
on this occasion. showed that large
majority of the Californians planning
summer trips are planning to visit
the northwest. OF these, nearly rs
per cent are estimated to be heading
toward the Grand Coulee dam and
continuing on to Banff and Lake
Louise or Glacier Park.
The report Of travel to yellow
stone National Park up to June 30
confirms this hope for heavy vol
ume OF summer travellers. The report
from the National Park Service said:
"Travel registrations in Yellow
stone National Park marched steadily
forward toward a new all-time record
through the month Of June as 12.1
per cent more persons entered the
park this year than in the record year
of 1896, according to figures just re-
leasef by the superintendent.

NIGHTS OF AN OLD CHILD. BY
Heinz Leipmann. Translated from
the German by A. Lynton Hudson.
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co.
THIS photographed novel is by
newspaper man refugee from
Hitler's Germany. 1t was written
originally, the publishers say, for the
authors own amusement and later
published without his knowledge. Be-
fore he stopped publication it became
a best seller in Germany. 1t is now
published for an American public
which already knows Mr.. Leipmanns
Fires Underground" and other books.
1t is a somber, brooding narrative
OF an unhappy childhood in postwar
Germany. The hero was one of the
generation too young to fight, but
old enough to feel the deadening effect
OF the struggle. Throughout the book
there is steady undertone of COM
plant at lost childhood
The hero, sensitive, dreaming
orphan, slowed away to America after
unfortunate experiences in his native
land. Here he found oppression and
persecution which must have shaken
his belief that all his troubles were
caused by the Fatherland's defeat by
the Allies Disillusioned. he went
back to Germany to try to find a
good life in writing
That is virtually all there is to the
story. There are several unforgetta-
Bile episodes, pictures of underworld
life. a minimum of characterizat ton
The writing is far from distinguished,
at least in this translation. But there
Is an intense, desperate quality in
the hero's suffering that makes this
book that is hard to forget.-E. T.
THE PEARL TRADER. BY Louis
Kernitzer. New York: Sheridan
House.
ONE of the most interesting, most
readable autobiographies 1 have
read in months. Led by the gleam of
the pearl, Louis Kernitzer, the son of
Jewish gem merchants, explores the
! far places Of the world in search of
| the elusive gem. From Broome in Aus
tralia, primitive pearling station
Inhabited by 400 white men and 1000
natives, to Zamboanga and points in
| between, kernitZer travelled and
traded. At times he spent years in one
| place, at other times a week or 10
| days sufficed him. His experiences
| embraced the establishment of trad
ing posts, an engagement in the fish
industry. the purchase and outfitting
OF pearling vessels, war with the Moros,
! and of course, the constant matching
| Of wits with his fellow jewel mer-
chants all over the world and of every
| kind and nationality.
His tales of the pearl herself-and
| by the way, pearl is always her" to
him-tales of the search and finding
OF pearls, tales of pearl doctoring, tales
of pearl superstition, are more than
matched by his tales of human asso-
ciates in the pearl business. He has
a gift of delineating a character in a
| few words and one incident He makes
the strange, exotic places of the earth
near and familiar vet without dim,
ming their romantic lure. BY all
means. a book worth reading and even

ance. The airplane, he explains, is be-
ing used to bring in these other i'm
plements.
The Soviet system of dealing with
the natives, of overcoming their preju-
dice and fear, is, he finds, enlightened
and successful In the beginning,
children were taken from their native
villages to Russian schools for train
ing. They sickened and died Most
Of them had. lived all their lives on
raw meat and frozen fish, and the
Soviet diet of cabbage soup and black
bread did not agree with them. Now,
however, teachers are being sent out
to them, specially trained for the prob
lens which they will encounter. The
natives are responding well, says Mr..
Smolka.
The outreaching, well planned
methods of the Soviet, as he outlines
them, are unquestionably impressive
They include a cross polar air route,
which will serve Europe, America and
Asia equally. They include a vast,
scientific examination Of natural re-
sources and materials, a study Of
polar conditions on land and sea and,
in general, sound like a veritable new
world. 1t may be, of course, that Mr..
Smolka is expressing political hopes
as well as facts when he writes thus.
When, for example, he describes the
happy life led by the prisoners in
the convict camps one is trifle du-
bious. But at any rate he has written
an immensely interesting book. Its
illustrations - photographs are ex-
tremely good, too.
LIFE WITH MOTHER. BY Clarence

THOSE who read Clarence Days

posthumous companion volume. For
it is exactly the same sort of thing,
and just as good, too. 1t is a collec-
ton of "a sketches in the familiar
manner in which Mr. Day tells us how
Father met and courted Mother, and
more of the lively life which his par
entS led together, carrying the narra-
tive on to Mothers death Most of
these sketches, to be sure, have
already had magazine publication.
But there is pleasure in having them
collected and put together in an or

does not seem to be much to say.
Mr.. Day won his public some time
