The bold, grey perpendicular peak with the oblong summit is Chief Mountain—sacred to the Indians, because accord¬ ing to the legend of the old Medicine Men, this was “Where the Great Spirit lived when he made the world.” Within this area of fifteen hundred square miles are more rugged mountain peaks, more glaciers, more pictures¬ que lakes, more streams and waterfalls than exist any¬ where else in America in so condensed an area. This is Glacier National Park. Longer than the Red Man’s legends or memory serve, this tract of eroded, snowcapped peaks, icy ravines, blue lakes, trout inhabited streams and alpine meadows was the play¬ ground of the Blackfeet and Piegan Indians. Here they found elk, moose, deer, ante¬ lope, buffalo, bear, big-horn sheep and the long-haired mountain goat. The lakes and streams supplied all the fish they required, while the sarvisberries and huckleber¬ ries were abundant on the sunny mountain slopes. Today this is your play¬ ground. The United States Government purchased i t from the Indians so that you might enjoy its attractions. 84 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST 11.8 RRX 13.5 RRX 14.2 RRX 18.1 CLINTON 25. 2 RRX’s It became a National Park May 11, 1910. National Parks have beer; created by Congress for va¬ rious reasons: To reserve for the people the wonders ol natural phenomena; to pro¬ vide free access to the waters’ of medical springs; to pre-1 serve the interesting archi¬ tecture of a prehistoric race, or to furnish vacation play¬ grounds located where Na¬ ture has been unusually gen¬ erous in assembling her sce¬ nic gems. Glacier National Park is in the last category. Above everything else it is a sum¬ mer playground for the peo¬ ple, appealing to that human emotion so aptly expressed by Jack London in the title of his interesting book, ‘‘The Call of the Wild.” Of course the glaciers are the headliners for Glacier National Park. They are a great attraction for the av¬ erage tourist, who knows that glaciers are uncommon things and reminiscent of the earlier mighty earth pro¬ cesses. Here one not only sees them in action but also sees what they have done in ages past.

Here nerves that have been tight¬ ened for years slowly relax. Here is the last home of a vanishing race—the Black- feet Indians. Here is the last stand of the Rocky Mountain sheep and the Rocky Mountain goat; here are elk, deer, black and griz¬ zly bears, and mountain lions. Here are trails that follow the old game trails along the mountain side; here are meadows of June roses, forget-me-not, lark¬ spur, and Indian paint brush growing beside glaciers, snowfields and trails of a beauty to make you gasp. Here and there a trail leads through a snowfield; the hot sun seems to make no im¬ pression on these glacier-like patches. Flowers grow at their very borders, striped squirrels and whistling mar¬ mots run about, quite fear¬ less, or sit up and watch the passing of horses and riders so close they can almost be touched. 86 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST 43.1 REX 43.8 T.

In Glacier Park may be seen, in all the majesty of their rock-bound settings, the remnants of the massive ice sheets that played a big part in shaping the surface of the earth millions of years ago. Not one or two, but dozens of them are clinging to the sides of the scarred and ser¬ rated ridges of the Continen¬ tal Divide, where they spread out like a string of pearls glistening in the sun. On summer days these gla¬ ciers are furrowed with thou¬ sands of threads of water— innumerable little rills — which run and sparkle over their surfaces like fine threads of quicksilver.

For profusion and variety the wild flowers of Glaciei Park must share honors wit! the lakes. In the valleys along the shores of lakes and streams, on the mountain passes, oftentimes on the very edge of snowfields and glaciers, wild flowers add their variegated hues to the green foliage and the harsher colors in the rocks.

The Rocky Mountain goat is perhaps the most interest¬ ing of the large wild animals. This sure-footed climber pre¬ fers the higher altitudes on the mountain slopes, and sel¬ dom descends low enough to give the tourist a “close-up.” They can be seen moving along the narrow rock ledges and are easily distinguished by their coats of long white hair, which sharply contrast with the rocks. The big-horn, or Rocky Mountain sheep, is more friendly, also more inquisi¬ tive.

BUTTE TO GARDINER 91 MONTANA—THE TREASURE STATE A Bit of History ^=^HE EASTERN part of Montana was in the Louisiana territory ceded to the United States in 1803, and the western part was in the Oregon territory saved to the United States largely through te discovery of the Columbia river by Captain Robert Gray in 1792. ewis and Clark passed through the state from east to west in 1805 ri their journey of exploration to the Pacific, and from west to east ;i their return in 1806. After them came exployers, missionaries—of articular interest to Montana being Fathers De Smet and Ravalli— uppers and fur traders, but there were only a few whites in its vast rea until large numbers were attracted by the discoveries of placer gold t Gold Creek, Bannack and Virginia City, 1858-65. This influx of pop- lation caused the creation of Montana territory in 3864. The first idustry was the mining of placer gold. Some of the gulch diggings ere marvelously rich, Grasshopper, Alder, Last Chance, and Confederate ulches being the most productive. As the placers became exhausted lany restless spirits moved away. Farming and stock raising started oon after the gold discoveries. Quartz mining was developed somewhat iter. Gold and silver mines were very productive. Then followed, at >utte, the beginning of copper mining, destined in a few years to attain ast proportions. Meanwhile settlements of stockmen and farmers were xtended. Hostile Indians roamed the plains and were not subdued until fter the Custer campaign and the disastrous battle on the Little Big lorn, in 1876. The pioneer period may be held to include all the years previous to 883 when the Northern Pacific Railway was completed. This railway was completed across the continent September 8, 1883, nd the event was celebrated by impressive ceremonies at the point /here the last spike was driven, between Garrison and Gold Creek, uly 4, 1883, was a gala day at Helena, where the people assembled in housands to welcome the arrival of the first regular train and to witness he departure of the first bullion train. The latter consisted of thirty- ix new box cars and bore the inscription “1,000,000 Pounds Gregory bullion, from Helena, Montana.” In 1879 the railway mileage in Montana was nothing. In 1915 it was bout 4,500 miles, and the increase in railway mileage measures the rowth of the state. A very large portion of Montana is especially adapted to, and is eing utilized in the growing of grain. In the past ten years the pro- uction of wheat has increased from 3,000,000 bushels to an average nnual production of more than twenty-nine million bushels; flax from ne hundred and four thousand to three million bushels; oats from m million to twenty-two million bushels; barley from eight hundred wenty-five thousand to over two million bushels; corn from ninety-four lousand to two million one hundred thousand bushels. 92 T H E P HOTOMOBILE Butte to Gardiner On this route the same di¬ versity of scenery obtains as throughout Montana.

The geysers exhibit a large variety of character and action. Some, like Old Faithful, spout at regular in¬ tervals; some of the other large ones play at irregular intervals of days, weeks, or months; some small ones play every few minutes. Some burst upward with immense power; others hurl streams at angles or bubble and foam. Yellowstone has more gey¬ sers than all the rest of the world. Some are literal vol¬ canoes of water. To trans¬ late this into volume we will use Old Faithful as an ex¬ ample. According to obser¬ vations made by the United States Geological Survey, this most famous of all geysers hurls in the air every sixty- five or seventy minutes a mil¬ lion and a half gallons of wa¬ ter, or 33,225,000 gallons a day.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWA The Columbia River is tl most impressive feature the entire tour from Pendl ton to Portland via T h Dalles. One never tires the ever-changing panoran of this great waterway, whi< is as treacherous as it is bea tiful. The awful majesty of i bare perpendicular walls encountered beyond Was and at the foot of the D Chutes canyon, is more thi offset by the green acres th dot its shores near Maryhi The great steel bridge ne the confluence of the E Chutes, as seen from t “highway” six hundred ft above, is a spectacle enjoy more by the passengers th by the chauffeur, for tl road is narrow and bad. There is little doubt that the near future the splent highway of the lower rh will be continued beyond i Des Chutes, possibly right to Pendleton. There is COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY 141 finer scenery, of its kind, in the world. Tourists should make The Dalles a stopping place; the city itself is worth while. It has assumed some of the char¬ acter of the great river on whose bank it stands, for it pursues the even tenor of its civic existence with sublime indifference to those indus¬ trial cataclysms that seem to characterize the larger cen¬ tres. It is the shipping point for a rich farming section. Just a few miles out of the city, eight if you follow the right road, is the largest apple or¬ chard in the world. By all means pay a visit to this Du- fur estate, and see the thou¬ sands of acres planted in sym¬ metrical rows, the hills look¬ ing like the pictures of Chi' nese tea plantations. 142 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST Chanticleer Inn.

Those who know will al¬ ways associate the joys of a drive over this wondrous road with the name of John B. Yeon, a wealthy unassuming Oregonian-French- Canadian - American of Portland, whose generalship in this great work carried America “over the top” in a piece of the finest road building in the world. It is useless to describe it. One must see it. And if you visit Portland and omit this trip, you do not deserve com¬ miseration. Dhe Columbia River Highway is a fine example of concrete surface. 144 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST CD 2 rC o £ ?H -M o 4J ^ o o -+-> S3 mbastic bailiwicks of a decade or two ago, has assumed the magnitude ' an international artery, throbbing with the industrial and social inter- lange of three peoples. A run over this route in its entirety affords first hand information the varied attractions of the Pacific States, the industrial achieve- ents of the great seaports, the universal prosperity of the agricultural mmunities, the dormant mineral assets, the phenomenal results from ientific irrigation and intensive cultivation, the matchless beauty of the orthwestern scenery and the sunny skies of California. It is not a far fetched belief that the advent of the motor car, lich presaged and preceded the concrete road, has all but destroyed that upid self-interest which made every community a booster for itself id a knocker for its neighbor. The Oregonian no longer wastes his vituperative vocabulary in lathematising “that dried up California,” the Washingtonian has for- Stten his scurrilous diatribles about “Our Lady of the Snows,” and the ilifornian himself has become broadminded enough to know and state at there is no fishing on earth superior to that of the Great Northwest. This volume of the Photomobile Tourist covers but a part of the icific Highway, as it does not take in any point south of the California- *egon line. But it carries the tourist through the dairy farms of the )rth, the timber reserves of Washington and Oregon, the fruitful valley the Willamette; it reveals hundreds of miles of Puget Sound, that eat inland sea of indescribable beauty; it threads its sinuous course ! }ng both banks of the mighty Columbia—that treacherous giant of •earns that mars its map in a night; it passes through a score of sleepy Hows, through a hundred orchards, immaculate in their neatness, rough canyons deep and over stretches of desert awaiting the magic ach of irrigation. And this great North and South road is fast becoming as important factor in the development of the Northwest as the railroad itself. The strategic import of this road is such as to make it one of the eatest military assets of the West. 146 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST VanC00v/lk SEATTLE TO VANCOUVER, B. C. 147 SEATTLE TO CANADIAN LINE i^HE Pacific Highway north leaves Seattle by Eastlake avenue and ) the beautiful new Latona or University bascule bridge, a miniature of the famous Tower Bridge over the Thames in London. It would be omitting a most interesting feature of the trip to pass he University of Washington without a visit. The bitulithic pavement of the highway makes good going for every ar from a Ford to a Rolls Royce, and adds to the enjoyment of the run round the northern arm of beautiful Lake Washington, seen at inter- als on the right. As far as Everett, there is no point of great interest except Silver ,ake, summering place for Seattle and Everett folks. The road thus ar leads through what is known as logged-off land, some of which is eing rapidly improved and converted into chicken farms. Just beyond Everett the road forks, and the big sign board gives etailed information greatly appreciated by the tourist. From this point to Mt. Vernon the country is agricultural, with airying the principal industry. Mt. Vernon is one of the most charming little cities in the state. A detour starting from a mile north of this point is described else¬ where, and should be taken by all means as a return route to Everett, ? varied scenery is any inducement to the tourist. Between Mount Vernon and Bellingham the country is rolling, with ome forest, and the exquisite Samish Lake, with an enviable reputation mong anglers. Between Bellingham and the Canadian border the concrete highway ;aves nothing to be desired. If you are a careful driver and can negotiate a narrow road with iany curves, do not miss the famous Chuckanut Drive, or to give it its lore respectable title, Waterfront Road. The view of the Sound and ae San Juan Islands is superb. Arriving at Blaine, the border town, the tourist should acquaint him- df w ith customs regulations if he intends crossing into British territory, he officials both of the American and Canadian customs are courtesy ersonified, but that is no reason why one should not save them all ^necessary work by reading over the forms one is expected to fill out. hey are very simple, though detailed, but they are as a child s primer )mpared with an income tax report or one of Uncle Sam’s army ques- onnaires. And above all, be sure to keep on the correct side of the road in anada. ’ Ask the man; at present left is right, and right is wrong, but lere is talk of adopting the American system, so be guided by those m athority.

The inter¬ urban runs from Bellingham to three of the most import¬ ant towns in the county south, then the harbor, which Admiral Sigsbee character¬ ized as “the best natural har¬ bor on the North American continent,” furnishes water transportation to all import¬ ant points on Puget Sound and the outside world.

MAGRUDER The “summer playground of America” is a true characterization of ?reat Pacific Northwest. And no part of it can offer quite such dety of charms as the territory immediately tributary to Bellingham. Within easy reach is practically everything that the tourist or :sman could desire—a veritable paradise. With beautiful roads, itains, forests, streams, lakes, islands, fresh and salt water boating, ing and fishing, game of all kinds, good hotels and beautiful resorts, resque scenery and gorgeous sunsets, one need never spend an idle ent or suffer a second from ennui. From morning till night, and some, there is something interesting or entertaining to do or see Roads in Washington, for the most part, are well improved. There /ery few stretches where the motorist cannot make the thirty-mile- 3 ur limit. Around Bellingham there are over fifty miles of paved 3 and all the other main roads are well graveled so that it is a real :o drive over the Whatcom county system of roads. Bellingham is he Pacific Highway and about midway between Seattle and Van- er, B. C., making it an ideal headquarters for the stop between the cities on a through tour. Once in Bellingham there are a number of side trips you will want ake before leaving the city. By all means you should take a trip to it Baker, whose everlasting snow-capped peak bids you always wel- to this country. On its sides you will find Heliotrope Ridge, cov- with myriads of flowers; Mazama Park, Mazama Lake, Sky-Line e, dozens of glaciers and hundreds of beautiful vistas. If mountain >ing is new or old to you, you will enjoy this wonderful mountain. Or perhaps you like to fish. Ah! Search for years and you will * find a better spot. Which do you like best? Fly fishing for trout ountain streams? Trolling or bait fishing in crystal clear lakes? le more strenuous sport of the larger salt water fish? They are all 1 near Bellingham. Make your choice and then enjoy yourself. On the other hand you may enjoy bathing or rowing better. Very Would you prefer fresh water lakes or salt water? A dozen s along the shores of Puget Sound offer splendid opportunities for water bathing. Squalicum Beach, Birch Bay, Semiahmoo, or any e hundreds of islands will be glad to have you laugh and play along shores. Probably the best place for rowing or canoeing is on com Lake, just at the eastern city limits of Bellingham, a lake nine long and sometimes as much as a mile wide. In the center is lie Island, a beautiful place to take a basket lunch. Knd you will always regret it if you leave Bellingham without taking ise among the beautiful San Juan Islands, which lie right at the west of the city. At many places on these islands one may secure 3 and excellent table board at reasonable prices. There in God’s out-of-doors, away from the tumult of the business world, one finds relaxation and enjoys communion with nature. If it is a real rest rood country meals you want just once more, take the tip and go ?

This is the famous Waterfront or Chuckanut Drive, and once headed right as per the sign post, there is no possibil¬ ity of getting off the road unless one cares to end it all by leaping the low parapet and dropping a few hundred feet into Puget Sound. From Inspiration Point, the second picture in the series, a splendid view of the San Juan Islands is afforded, and mile after mile of the road this panorama changes, every rounded headland reveal¬ ing new wonders of sea and sun and sky. The road leads to Edison, a small station where one turns Left and from that point the surface is poor, but leads in a very few miles back to the highway north of Vt. Vernon. CAUTION—Chuckanut Drive is tor¬ tuous and narrow. There are places where it is difficult for two big cars to pass, but the exercise of due care will leave a good margin of safety.

Apples, pears, plums, prunes, cher¬ ries, quinces and English wal¬ nuts are very prolific and all varieties of berries flourish and bear phenomenally. In fact, all the fruits and vege¬ tables of the temperate zone do well with the exception of grapes, melons and tomatoes, which grow luxuriantly but do not ripen well for lack of sultry heat.

Next is Pot¬ latch, which offers attractions the like of which there is no other in the world. Lake Cushman, reached by Hood Canal, is a most popular resort. The pleasures of the trip down the canal contribut¬ ed much in preparing the voy¬ ager for the still more won¬ derful scenery of an inland lake in the Olympics—anoth¬ er fisherman’s hunter’s and camper’s paradise.

SEATTLE TO SPOKANE 231 THE MULLAN TRAIL Fort Benton to Walla Walla With appropriate ceremonies the Captain John Mullan monument ? unveiled during the month of September, 1918, there being a large nber of people present. Hon. Wm. A. Clark, Jr., of Montana, through Society of Montana Pioneers very kindly furnished the money for monuments that mark the Mullan Trail. This gift to the great stern states, out of which was carved the Commonwealth of Montana dences the love and patriotism of Montana men to the border Com- nwealth, who gave the birthplace and wealth, his contribution to the torical records of these states is a commendable instance of the love our great west that recognizes neither sectional nor boundary lines preserving from oblivion any important historical fact relating to the ning up and settlement of the northwest territories. The location of the sites of the monuments through the State of ho, was left to Professor Henry Talkington, of Lewiston, Idaho, a nber of the Biographical Society of Idaho. Professor Talkingtop icted Mullan, Wallace, Kellogg, The Old Mission, St. Maries, Coeur Uene and Spokane Crossing. | For fifty years after the exploration of Lewis & Clark, “The Oregon ,il” was the usual route to the Northwest. It is true that at first I trappers and later the traders ascended the Missouri to Fort Benton that the Indians of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho came )ss the mountains to hunt buffalo in Montana, but the trails known :he Indian were not known to the white man and he himself had no Ids or routes. 1 In response to demands the government decided to build a military d. Capt. John Mullan was commissioned to build this road. Only July 1, 1859, Capt. Mullan began work on the road starting n Walla Walla the Western terminal. He had about a hundred men *ther with wagons, pack horses, axes, picks, shovels, whipsaws and -r tools necessary for the work. The men were divided into parties, i party being in charge of a foreman. The topographers and engi- rs first made permanent locations, selecting lines of least resistance, osing suitable places for fords or ferries across the streams; avoiding ar as possible canyons, hills or mountains that would require corduroy bridge work, or thickly timbered sections that required much chop- £. Of course there were places where these obstacles could not be ided. Indians rendered Mullan great assistance as guides, mail carriers, iers etc. During the winter of 1859, Garry, the chief of the Spo- es, brought the mail regularly by way of Clark’s Fork. In the spring 860 Mullan was at work in the Bitter Root Valley and in great need supplies from Fort Benton. He says, “For my inen an.d 8^ my issities were so great that I laid my wants before the Flatheads. id them that I needed 117 horses with 15 or 20 of their men to rnipany Mr. Sohn across the mountains. Th:y promised me a reply 232 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST Water in abundance, plenty of sunshine, good soil and fruit trees well cared for:—the inevitable result is that Walla Walla is a fine fruit-raising as well as a wheat growing locality.

Such nobleness of character as is found tig some of the Flathead is seldom seen among Indians. I have xled to their credit that I never had a want, but which, when made ra to them they always treated myself and parties with a frank rosity and continuous friendship. They were paid for the use of • animals and the services of their men, and made the trip in the th of March safely across the Rocky Mountains, bringing me back )0 rations.” Captain Mullan and his road builders reached Fort Benton on August $60, but it was not until 1862 that the road was entirely completed, entire cost being $230,000 or less than $400.00 per mile. This road led the government to move its troops rapidly from Fort Benton to a Walla and the Northwest with present conditions and value of same road to the general public. You are familiar with the fact it has become a part of a great transcontinental highway.

Take the left road at Dayton, direct north and r east to the Central Ferry over the Snake river, following the Inland pire Highway to Colfax. From Colfax the route is almost direct through Thornton and Rosalia to Spokane. This part of the route is not photographed in the mileage strip; the reason that certain portions of it were under re-construction the logging of Eastern Oregon was in progress. At the present however, the road is UNIFORMLY GOOD, and should be adopted a main route between Walla Walla and the northern part of the “I Empire.” There are many good lateral roads in this section, which is a raising district, and almost all these roads are wide and well kepi the fall, however, owing to constant use by heavy grain trucks, the is likely to become dusty and more or less uneven. During the v season snow is encountered north of Colfax, but the coming of the ] highway will enable the route to be kept open between Spokane and 1 Walla almost all the year. This section of country is not so well known to the tourist as served by the North Central and Sunset Highways, but it is extr( prosperous though not densely peopled. The cities passed en route—Dixie, Waitsburg, Dayton and Col: measure up to the high standard of western advancement in every ticular. Good garages and stores are found in every city, and me the garages maintain their own repair shops. Waitsburg, Washington Vj^AITSBURG was founded in 1875. The population is 1,400. NJ chief industry is wheat raising. Over a million and a half bi are marketed each year from this city, which maintains a six dred barrel flouring mill. Waitsburg is fast becoming a commercial and apple centre, it nual output being in excess of $100,000 worth of fall and winter ties alone. The Blue Mountains, sixteen miles away, afford fine hunting good camping spots in the shade of pine, fir and tamarac. Here also are found many small, clear, swift-running streams stocked with trout.

PENDLETON _ 245 The Pendleton Roundup is a frontier exhibition and fes¬ tival which is held annually in September. It consists of a series of contests and races illustrative of the methods employed in western stock rearing and the lives, both as to work and play, of the men engaged in these pursuits. Fifty to sixty thousand peo¬ ple visit the show and are en¬ tertained in the hotels and homes of the town. When the population of Pendleton is taken into consideration (only 7500) the magnitude of the task of entertaining such a number of guests is better realized. The Pendleton Roundup is a community en¬ terprise. Roundup Park, the tract where the show is staged, including its buildings and improvements, is owned by the municipal corporation. The management of the show is in the hands of a corps of directors who donate their services absolutely without pay, even to the extent that all of the officers and direc¬ tors buy and pay for the seats at the show which they and their guests occupy. What¬ ever profits are derived from the proceeds of the show are expended in improvement of Roundup Park, with the idea of perpetuating its use as a municipal park and play¬ ground. During the evenings of the three days of the Roundup an auxiliary entertainment, known as “Happy Canyon,” is 246 THE PHOTOMOBILE T PURIST provided for the visitors i Pendleton.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 286 THE PHOTO MO BILE TOURIST SEATTLE TO P Q RT L A N D 287 SEATTLE TO PORTLAND O NE of the best known tours, and one that nearly every owner of a car in the Northwest has made or will make some time or other is the run from Seattle to Portland. The 202 miles can be driven easily in a day, or as much less a time as one cares to take, or the law allows. But tourists who want to see the country and retain something more than a blurred impression of scenes and incidents enroute, will be well advised to make a two days’ ;rip of it. To begin with, there is Tacoma, just 41 miles from Seattle by the /alley route (Pacific Highway) or 28 by the more interesting short line > r Rid ^ e through Des Moines. Tacoma is full of interest to the ,ourist. Its commanding position at the head of an arm of Puget Sound s admirably suited to its great water traffic and its shipbuilding industry. There is much friendly rivalry between Seattle and Tacoma over he name of the great mountain that seems to rise abruptly from the )lain, some fifty odd miles from Tacoma. Whether one calls it Mount Tacoma or Mount Rainier, it is worth seeing. From Tacoma to Olympia the road is a perfectly surfaced high¬ way, and the drive is through a beautiful stretch of scenic grandeur, /ith occasional glimpses of the Sound. From this point to Portland, the less said about the condition of the 'acific Highway the better, for with the exception of a few miles near 'entralia and Chehalis and another stretch near Toledo, it is not paved, nd in some parts the going is rough. Centralia and Chehalis, in the midst of a dairying district, have Iso large coal deposits. Castle Rock is reached after a run through the forest, and Kelso, amous for Columbia River smelt, has good hotels and garages. From this point to Kalama the road follows the bank of the Colum- ia. At Kalama one has the choice of continuing on the Washington ide of the river to Vancouver, Wash., or crossing a sort of crazy ferry ) Goble, and proceeding over a road of atrocious oiled surface that has atlived its time, through St. Helens to Portland. The most reliable information may be obtained at three places en mte, (1) The Chamber of Commerce, Olympia; (2) the Western Wash- lgton Auto Club, Chehalis; (3) Peters Garage, Kelso. If the north bank route is chosen, tourists will cross the great steel ridge at Vancouver, Wash. (Toll 25 cents.) 288 THE PHOTO MO BILE TOURIST 289 SEATTLE TO PORTLAND SEATTLE.

SEATTLE is thoroughly progressive, the equal of any city of its size in the excel¬ lence of its schools, its at¬ tractive public buildings and civic improvements. The hotels are at present entirely inadequate, but this condition has arisen as a re¬ sult of the city’s almost phe¬ nomenal growth during the past four years, and plans are under way for the erec¬ tion of at least two new ho¬ tels which will outclass any¬ thing on the Pacific Coast. There are twenty-eight parks in Seattle, embracing over sixteen hundred green acres, and these are connect¬ ed by a system of well-kept automobile boulevards. With¬ in the city limits is the Uni¬ versity of Washington, with more than four thousand students. The beautiful cam¬ pus contains 356 acres. Seattle’s sea-borne com¬ merce is immense, and the city is known as “the gate¬ way to Alaska.” Besides the steamship lines to Alaska, there are lines to the Orient, Siberia, British Columbia, Australia, Pacific Coast ports and recently trade routes have been opened with Eu¬ ropean ports, both by way of the Panama Canal and the longer voyage ’round the Horn. The city was founded in 1852, taking the name of Se¬ attle, an Indian chief. 290 AUBURN, W AUBURN AUTO SUPPLY This is one p named correctly, whatever you nee^ auto fittings, gas, grease, or what will— WE HAVE Yl The bulk of our busin with resident customers It Has To Be Rij And as we treat eve alike, you are assured c careful attention of the try garage, and the EXPERT SERVIC] of experienced, highly ti MECHANICS Come in and say “1 There are not many plaa ours on the road.

The condensed milk fac¬ tories of Auburn and Kent, maintained by the Carnation Company, take care of the lacteal product from these “contented cows.” The dairy¬ ing industry finds employ¬ ment for hundreds of people living in these two towns.

The foliage appears every month in the year just as beautiful as when it first mingled with the landscape — hence the name “Evergreen State.” The effect produced by this verdant growth upon the scenery of the state of Wash¬ ington can be best realized by climbing to one of the heights overlooking the tim¬ ber line. From here one can readily see how perfectly it hides every blemish of the irregular contour, blending beautifully with the blue wa¬ ters in the distance and the pale clouds floating above.

Chehalis a Coal Mining Center An excellent grade of li* nite coal is mined daily witl in the city limits of Ch< halis. This stable industry wi continue to be a factor in tl future upbuilding of Chehali Development of the coal ii dustry in Lewis County is its infancy. Coal may 1 found in almost any sectic of the county and varies i quality from low grade lij nite to the highest grade < anthracite.

PORTLAND TO OLYMPIA 311 TENINO TENINO TENINO TENINO 20.7 A few years ago the Fed¬ eral government concluded a series of tests to determine the relative merits of sam¬ ples of coal from the various mines in Western Washing¬ ton. The purpose was to se- | cure coal that would answer all purposes for the navy. In the test the coal submitted from a mine forty miles east of Chehalis, in Lewis County, was found to be most satis¬ factory. Between the Twin Cities of Chehalis and Centralia the interurban line of the Wash¬ ington Electric Company forms a connecting link. Despite the fact that Lew¬ is County is in a more or less undeveloped condition as re¬ gards railroads there is hard¬ ly a corner of the county that cannot be reached by automo¬ bile stage. At the present four auto stage lines run out of Chehalis. Lewis County Has Productive Soil Very fertile valley and hill land raises excellent fruits, such as apples, pears, plums, cherries and berries which are unsurpassed. Potatoes and all root crops make heavy yields. Oats, barley and all grasses grow luxuriantly, af¬ fording ideal conditions for dairying, the poultry busi¬ ness, and other lines of farm¬ ing. Yet there is room on Lewis County’s two million acres for thousands more dairy farms, and more poul¬ try farms. 312 THE P H OT OM OBILE TOURIST OLYMPIA, WA: TUMWATER N. W.

Nature has done much for this beauty spot and man : i improved its conveniences without detracting from its natural beauty. Wetty little rivulet trickles down an evergreen vale to the sandy beach Puget Sound, where good bathing is to be found in the quiet waters, t by the way, there are clams there, too, for the hungry. There is sh water in abundance from the cool springs that leap from the hill- 9 , and great piles of dry wood stand invitingly beside the huge stone ns in which fires are already burning for the weary tourist.

There is perhaps no sec¬ tion of the entire Northwest more adaptable to diversi¬ fied farming than Grays Har¬ bor county and the coast lit¬ toral to the north. Indus¬ trious and thrifty settlers have started operations time and again on little or no money, and the proportion of those who have “made good” in every sense of the word is ample proof of the latent possibilities of the land. Dairying is, of course, pre¬ eminently a paying proposi¬ tion, but it takes money to stock a dairy ranch. It is the smaller industries to which reference is made mainly.

Here the oyster, the clam and the crab seemingly try to outdo one another and the mighty forest, in yielding splendid profits to the people, who lend every encourage¬ ment to the remarkable com¬ petition. Thousands from the larger cities hie themselves to this section, at least once during the summer, to feast their eyes upon another variety of scenery, to enjoy its peculiar attractions, and experience again the pleasure of riding through a valley that appeals alike to the Pullman passen¬ ger and to the automobilist; for it is human nature to love a change, even if one’s home environment approaches per¬ fection itself.

So fascinating is this re¬ gion that its extensive ocean beach will undoubtedly in time be ornate with one con¬ tinuous array of summer re¬ sorts reaching from Ilwaco on Baker’s Bay, at the mouth of the Columbia, to Neah Bay at the entrance to the Straits, and interrupted only by the narrow gaps marking the en¬ trances to the two harbors.

Splendid highways lead in different directions. In Grays Harbor county are 400 miles of gravel roads, every part of which passes near interesting scenes. One road extends to the south of the harbor and another to the beach resorts at the north. The Olympic Highway leads east to the Sound country and northward I up the Humptulips Valley, through the big timber to Lake Quiniault, located in the midst of grand solitude on the 5 edge of the Quiniault Indian Reservation, making this lake a handy resort for the people living near Grays Harbor. Those who take the trip should plan their return so as to include a ride down the Quiniault River in Indian ca¬ noes.

But when you have finished with generalities, there are specific charms of the Olym¬ pic peninsula’s very own. If you should journey to far-off India, and have the hardihood to tour through the jungles of the upper Ganges valley, and climb ten or twelve thousand feet toward the shimmering peaks of Kun- chinjinga and Dhwalagiri you will be rewarded by entering a belt of towering trees with georgeous under growth of scarlet cucumbers and rhodo¬ dendron,— and you will be well repaid. But why go to Hindustan, when during the months of June and July you may drive on fine gravel roads through miles of primeval forest where the rhododendrons in wild profusion are glorious enough to kill the enthusiasm of a speed-fiend, and make an ar¬ tist of him ? Why mourn the absence of the ranunculus, when every school child of the neighbor¬ hood will reel off the botani¬ cal names of a score or more beautiful wild things, and find them for you ? Fit yourself to the varying moods of that picturesque arm of Puget Sound—Hood’s Canal; revel in its sunlit ex¬ panse or its secluded bays; it is beautiful even in storm, and the drive along its shore in the calm of a moonlit night is weird and wonderful. The road is for the most part along the shore of the in¬ let or through the forest.

RAINIER 343 Tacoma to Mount Rainier National Park ^0 give even a brief description of the attractions of this trip would be impossible in the limited space that could be devoted to it in these pages. Besides, it is not the purpose of The Photomobile ourist to do what has already been done, and excellently done, by hers. There are many publications dealing with the Rainier National Park, ot the least interesting of which are those issued by the United States overnment, through the Department of the Interior. Great assistance in compiling the Photomobile Tourist has been leerfully rendered by the Park officials, and by the Rainier National ark Company at their beautiful Paradise Inn. The tourist from the East will be somewhat confused in the two imes for the great slumbering snow-clad volcanic pile that forms the ;ntral point of interest. In Seattle he will be told of the wonders of bunt Rainier, while in Tacoma he will hear of nothing but Mount Ta- >ma, unaware, perhaps, of the fact that both names refer to the same :ak. There is some amount of civic jealousy between the two cities, each aintaining its own chosen name for the mountain. At a recent gathering of the Kiwanis Club, which is a representa- ve body of Tacoma’s business men, the editor of a monthly magazine iblished in Seattle referred to this dual naming of the Northwest’s •eatest mountain park as “small town stuff,” and believed that he had ored a point in favor of dropping “Tacoma” in favor of “Rainier.” 9 was disillusioned next day when the outraged citizens of Tacoma iced their indignation in the daily papers. All of which means simply this, that no matter what you call it, you n never adequately describe its beauty. Those who make the Mount Rainier or Tacoma trip should leave emselves plenty of time. Three or four days is none too much to erely glimpse at the attractions of the National Park, and three or ur weeks spent inside the park boundaries would only leave still more ails to be explored, more beauties to be discovered. The road to the Park is described in the usual Photomobile manner the following pages. There are some points en route, such as Ohop ib’s and La Grande and Ashford, that are well worth stopping to see. If you have never seen a lumber camp at close quarters, you will .ve an opportunity to do so on this trip. Alder and Elbe through which n will pass, are typical lumber towns, or perhaps one had better say, nber “camps,” for they are just that. , m The life of the lumberjack is a study m itself, and the metamo - losis of the big sticks of timber into merchantable lumber is a series intensely interesting operations. 344 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST The mountain itself is an extinct volcano, with a crown of eternj snow. Paradise Inn is ideally located, and from its windows the most beai tiful views are afforded of valley and mountain. So far as motoring is concerned, the Inn is the end of the trail. The flora of Tie Park is wonderful. There are some species of wil flowers that grow only in this section, and at times the valleys at th foot of the glaciers are a blaze of color and loveliness. It is remarkable that nearly all of Uncle Sam's National Parks hav some distinctive flower or plant that belongs to them alone. In th famous Yosemite Valley of California, it is the “snow plant" that pushe its cluster of gorgeous red blossoms through the snow. If you pluc one, you are liable to a fine of $25. There are no snow plants in th Rainier National Park, but it will be as well if you familiarize yourse' with the rules and regulations before starting out on the trails froi the Inn. WHAT TO WEAR—WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU Reasonably warm clothing should be worn by all park visitors an they should be prepared for sudden changes of weather and altitude. Those who intend to live in the open or to do any hiking shoul give particular attention to the footwear to be worn after leaving hot or camp. Medium-weight shoes, hobnailed, will suffice for all ordinar tramping, but for ice climbing calks instead of hobnails should be usei If the services of guides are to be engaged the guides will provide tl calked shoes, clothing, alpenstocks, colored glasses, and face paints nece sary for trips over snow and ice fields. Arrangements for guides c the South Side can be made with the Rainier National Park Co. Visitors who intend to camp in the public camp grounds shoul furnish their own tents, bedding, cooking utensils, provisions, etc. Thei are grocery stores at Ashford and Longmire Springs where provisior may be purchased by campers. Provisions may also be purchased froi the Rainier National Park Co. at Paradise Valley. TACOMA TO MT. RAINIER 345 00 Out Pacific Avenue follow Pacific High¬ way signs. 2.5 Leave Tacoma.

Williams, giving titi to his book. “Easily King of all is Mount Rainier,” wrote F. E. Matthes, of th United States Geological Survey, reviewing that series of huge extinc volcanoes towering high above the sky line of the Cascade Range. “A most 250 feet higher than Mount Shasta, its nearest rival in grandeu and in mass, it is overwhelmingly impressive both by the vastness of it glacial mantle and by the striking sculpture of its cliffs. The total are of its glaciers amounts to no less than 48 square miles, an expanse c ice far exceeding that of any other single peak in the United State; Many of its individual ice streams are between 4 and 6 miles long an vie in magnitude and in splendor with the most boasted glaciers of th Alps. Cascading from the summit in all directions, they radiate like th arms of a great starfish.” Seen from Tacoma or Seattle the vast mountain appears to rk directly from sea level, so insignificant seem the ridges about its bas Yet these ridges themselves are of no mean height. They rise 3,000 1 4,000 feet above the valleys that cut through them, and their crests a 1 erage 6,000 feet in altitude. Thus at the southwest entrance of the pari in the Nisqually Valley, the elevation, as determined by accurate spir leveling, is 2,003 feet, while Mount Wow (Goat Mountain), immediate! to the north, rises to an altitude of 6,030 feet. But so colossal are the proportions of the great volcano that the dwarf even mountains of this size and give them the appearance of mei foothills.

The most notable of these are the Cowlitz, the Pai dise, the Fryingpan, the Carbon, the Russell, the North and South IV wich, the Puyallup, and the Pyramid glaciers. Twenty-eight glaciers, great and small, clothe Rainier—rivers of i with many of the characteristics of rivers of water, roaring at tin- over precipices like waterfalls, rippling and tumbling down rocky slopes veritable noisy cascades, rising smoothly up on hidden rocks to foa brooklike, over its lower edges. Every winter the moisture-laden winds from the Pacific, suddei cooled against its summit, deposit upon its top and sides enormous smn These, settling in the crater which was left after the great explosion some prehistoric age carried away perhaps 2,000 feet of the volcan former height, press with overwhelming weight down the mountai sloping sides. Thus are born the glaciers, for the snow under its own pressi: quickly hardens into ice. Through 14 valleys self-carved in the so rock flow these rivers of ice, now turning, as rivers of water turn, avoid the harder rock strata, now roaring over precipices like congea: waterfalls, now rippling, like water currents, over rough bottoms, pui ing, pouring relentlessly on until they reach those parts of their coun where warmer air turns them into rivers of water. WEALTH OF GORGEOUS FLOWERS In glowing contrast to this marvelous spectacle of ice are the gard( of wild flowers surrounding the glaciers. These flowery spots are cal parks. One will find on the accompanying map Spray Park, St. Andre: Park, Indian Henrys Hunting Ground, Paradise, Summerland; and th< are many others. “Above the forests,” writes John Muir, “there is a zone of the lo liest flowers, 50 miles in circuit and nearly 2 miles wide, so closely plani and luxurious that it seems as if nature, glad to make an open spj between woods so dense and ice so deep, were economizing the preck ground and trying to see how many of her darlings she can get togetl in one mountain wreath—daisies, anemones, columbine, erythroniui larkspurs, etc., among which we wade knee deep and waist deep, 1 bright corollas in myriads touching petal to petal. Altogether this is 1 richest subalpine garden I have ever found, a perfect flower elysium.” The lower altitudes of the park are densely timbered with fir, ced hemlock, maple, alder, cottonwood, and spruce. The forested areas, . tending to an altitude of about 6,500 feet, gradually decrease in dens of growth after an altitude of 4,000 feet is reached, and the high, brc plateaus between the glacial canyons present incomparable scenes of versified beauties. 351 TACOMA TO MT.

For 28 miles the railroad and the highway, parallel each other, run along the base of huge timbered bluffs which rise sh from the prairie level, or through timbered copses and huddling j pines that dot the landscape, mirroring themselves at the crystal wa of many lakes. At the foothills of the mountain the railroad and the highway re; become canyon roads. From the top of King Hill, overlooking 0] Valley, the highway affords a most inspiring view of the great mount and its surrounding peaks and valleys. This point is about half \ to the park entrance. After descending this hill the road begins risi almost imperceptibly at first, toward the eternal snows on the mountai dome. On all sides are mighty firs as yet barely touched by the li bermen. Now and again the highway—smooth surfaced from Janu; to December—leads at the brink of canyons; gullies they are, compa to what come farther toward the clouds. Here the road turns sudde on itself and in a twinkling is across the valley’s floor. A few hund yards and it begins again to climb, this time through fir forests a h dred times more splendid than were found before the Ohop was react Presently the traveler finds himself looking down a sheer thous; feet to where the Nisqually River threads its way to the sea. Thk the Nisqually Canyon. Now the road ever came to wind its very lij one of the marvels that only the engineer can explain. Near the lo 1 end of the canyon is a great commercial enterprise, made possible by great glaciers of the Mount Rainier National Park. The city of Tacc has built a $2,500,000 electric plant, and electric light and power furnished in abundance for the citizens of that municipality, and fi the road a full view of the huge project unfolds. For seeming miles of breathless interest the road runs periloi above the canyon; then, presently, it plunges anew into the end forests of fir and goes on and on, always gently climbing. Of a sud a macadam surface is encountered. The county of Pierce has hard-£ faced 6 miles of the stretch, stopping its work only at the line wf the Government control begins—the edge of the Rainier National For The railroad ends at Ashford, six miles from the park entrance. At 1 point motor stages pick up the travelers by rail. Almost at the southwest corner of the Mount Rainier National P the road makes its entry from the outer reserve. Here a huge log g has been erected, and through this gate alone may comfortable er be had to this portion of the mountain park with vehicles. Just ins the gate is a lodge, where the visitor must register and become appri of the rules; then on and on the road plunges, through timber so de the earlier forests seem pigmy, with glimpses of the mountain break through ever and anon and the sound of many rushing waters con TACO MA TO MT.

ADMINISTRATION The Mount Rainier National Park was established by the act 0 March 2, 1899 (30 Stat., 993). The representative of the National Par] Service in immediate charge of the park is the superintendent. A fore of rangers assist this officer in protecting the reservation. Exclusiv jurisdiction over the park was ceded to the United States by act of th Washington Legislature dated March 16, 1901, and accepted by Congres by act approved June 30, 1916 (39 Stat., 243). Mr. Edward S. Hall 1 the United States Commissioner for the park. The tourist season extends from June 15 to September 15. The ad dress of the superintendent is Longmire, Wash., between June 15 am September 15, and Ashford, Wash., during the remainder of the year General information may be obtained from the superintendent. All com plaints should be addressed to him. HOTELS AND CAMPS NATIONAL PARK INN The National Park Inn at Longmire Springs is operated on th American plan only.

Trails have been constructed with a view to making the wonde of nature within the park easily accessible as well as to provide patr routes for the protection of the forests and game. During the sease of 1915 the trail system encircling the mountain was completed, and is now possible in about one week’s time to make the entire circuit the mountain, for which purpose experienced guides with saddle ai pack animals may be obtained through the Rainier National Park Co. The park trail system not only makes accessible the snouts of son 20 glaciers which radiate from the summit of Mount Rainier, but lei directly to the parks and points of interest known as Paradise Valle Van Trump Park, Indian Henrys Hunting Ground, St. Andrews Par Sunset Park, Crater Lake, Spray Park, Mist Park, Cataract Basin, Mo aine Park, Mystic Lake, Grand Park, Natural Bridge, Berkeley Par Glacier Basin, Summerland, Ohanapecosh Park, Cowlitz Park, Ohanap cosh River and its Hot Springs, Canyon Bridge, Reflection Lakes, Eag Peak, Narada Falls, Comet Falls, etc. TACOMA TO MT, RAINIER 359 Curve in road.

The Government end of this road is 20 mile in length, leading from the entrance gate (elevation 2,003 feet) to Long mire Springs (6.6 miles, elevation 2,761 feet) ; thence to foot of Nisquall Glacier (5.4 miles, elevation 3,908 feet) ; thence to Narada Falls (4 miles elevation 4,572 feet) ; thence to Paradise Inn in Paradise Valley (4 miles elevation 5,557 feet). Snowshoeing parties find many delights during the winter months. This road was opened for travel in 1910. The upper 8 miles of the road above Nisqually Glacier was openec to automobiles for the first time in 1915. This portion of the road i, operated on a schedule by which automobiles leave Nisqually Glacier as cending and Paradise Valley descending on each hour from 8 a. m. t< 7 p. m., passing at Narada Falls on the half hour. During the season; of 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, 22,000 automobiles and about 120,00< people passed over this section of road without a single accident. This road, which has an average grade of only 4 per cent, afford one of the most wonderful automobile drives in the world. Paradise Valley, Indian Henrys Hunting Ground, and Van Trum] Park are the most easily reached and consequently the most frequentei places of interest within the national park. Regular automobile stage lines are operated to Paradise Valley ove the Government road from Ashford and Longmire Springs. Indian Henrys Hunting Ground, 7 miles from Longmire Springs, i reached by trail only. This trip may be made afoot or ponies may b secured at Longmire Springs, where the most frequently used of th three trails leading to this resort begins. A tent camp is located in In dian Henrys Hunting Ground. To reach Van Trump Park the same Indian Henrys Hunting Groun Trail is taken, branching off to the right after about 1 mile of trave The trip to Van Trump Park should, however, be made by going up pas Christine Falls and returning by the old trail to Longmire Springs. Th distance from Van Trump Creek at the Government road to Van Trum Park by this trail is about 2i/ 2 miles. This park is reached by tra only, and the trip may be made afoot or on ponies. While this is on of the most beautiful of the mountain parks, and one of the most easil reached, yet there are no accommodations for travelers, and lunche should be taken and return trip made to Longmire Springs befor nightfall. Ramparts Ridge, 1 % miles north of Longmire Springs, from whic a fine view is obtained, is a very popular trip, and is frequently take before breakfast. The climb of about 1,300 feet can be made in abou one hour. TACOMA TO MT. RAINIER 361 74 Just beyond Inspiration Point. Nearing Paradise Inn.

It has been erected by the counties it immediately serves, on both sides of the river, and has paid 12 per cent, on the orig¬ inal investment ever since its opening. The North Bank Highway leads through a most inter¬ esting farming country whose contour varies from gently rolling hills cultivated to the highest degree of productiv¬ ity, to the almost perpendicu¬ lar bluffs that stand guard at intervals over the mighty Columbia. If you seek here the bustle and hurry of the city your disappointment is going to be complete, for a more content¬ ed lot of people you will never find than the inhabitants of this section. Such industrial centres as Camas, with its great paper mills; river hamlets coaxing the erratic river to yield them a sustenance; dairy farms whose silken-coated cattle can find no fault with life; and a score of other occupations, including that of supplying the needs of the tourist; these will give you a tangible idea of the limitless breadth of that word “American.” Many nationalities are represented in the records of property owners. It is no uncommon occurrence for a rancher to speak good American to his family, yet voice his senti¬ ments to his errant team in expletives of Slavic, Croatian or Latin origin. You will know you are get¬ ting near Camas long before you see it, that is, if the wind blows in your direction. The 364 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST 6. Good dirt road. 6.9 Now being surfaced. 7.

The same conditions of soil and climate obtain here as those of the famous Hood River valley just across the Columbia, and the quality of the fruit now being shipped from the matured orchards of White Salmon is equal to that of its friendly rival, the “Hood River apple,” if in less quantity. You cannot afford to miss a visit to “The Eyrie,” and if time permits, a 25-mile run to the ice caves and Trout Lake will show you scenery the memory of which may make many a weary mile over less favored coun¬ try seem less tedious. Hood River, just opposite White Salmon, on the Oregon side of the Columbia, is a beautiful little town sur¬ rounded by highly developed orchards and farms, and the most entrancing scenery. The fruit growers are well organized, and there is no such commodity as inferior apples or strawberries ever offered for sale under the jealously watched and great¬ ly prized Hood River Valley ! trade mark.

It is tl county seat of Multnomah county and lies on the Willamette riv< just above its confluence with the Columbia. Its population, estimate by the compilers of the city directory, who include immediate subur) not within the city limits, is 270,527. Portland’s position near the confluence of two great rivers gives a water level route from far into the interior. This brings a heavy tra fic to Portland at a minimum of operating cost. This fact, together wr Portland’s fresh water harbor, the only one on the coast, means th Portland will be the great shipping point of the Northwest. It is alreac the chief lumber shipping point of the world, and is the chief wheat e porting port of the Pacific Northwest, handling the bulk of the gre crop produced in the Inland Empire (Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washin ton and Idaho). Portland is famous for its roses. Nowhere else do they reach t perfection they attain here. Climate and soil are ideal for their grow and the city is one great rose garden throughout the summer months. Four great transcontinental railroads enter Portland upon their o\ rails and others have traffic arrangements whereby they enter this cil In the first class are the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Orego Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. and the Spokane, Portland & £ attle. In the second class may be mentioned the Canadian Pacific, Gre Northern and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. All the railroads Oregon connect with these trunk lines. Various electric lines enter t city, among them being the Portland Railway, Light & Power Compan; interurban lines to Oregon City, Estacada and Troutdale, and the Oreg Electric Company’s road to Salem and Forest Grove, besides the Unit Railways line extending toward the Tillamook country. Portland has an excellent city traction system comprising over 2 miles of track. All the city lines are electrified. Several lines of river steamers ply the Columbia and Willame* rivers and their tributaries, carrying passengers and freight. Portia is the center also of large coasting trade, with steamers running to Sj Francisco, San Pedro and all Oregon harbors. There are steamship lii in operation between Portland and the Orient. Portland’s wholesale a: jobbing trade is very large. This can never be taken away from her cause of the advantageous geographical position the city has at tidewaj with the great tributary country at its back. This jobbing trade embra< all lines of merchandise. Each passing year shows a handsome g: in volume. Portland is fortunate in its water supply. It is drawn fr Bull Run River a splendid mountain stream, by gravity system. 1' water is remarkably pure. Private corporations supply the city w electricity and gas. Rates are reasonable and the service good. Elect power is brought from near-by waterfalls. Gas is manufactured b from crude petroleum brought from California in cargoes. Because of pure water supply and healthful conditions, Portland has a death ra which is among the lowest in the country.

The Capital Highway is routed along the beautiful Terwilliger Boulevard, from which a most magnificent panorama of the city and the valley of the Willamette riv¬ er unfolds itself as the road winds around the steep syl¬ van slopes of the west bank. The road is a fine wide con¬ crete highway as far as New- berg. Exactly sixteen miles out of Portland SIX CORNERS is reached. This is just what the name implies, three through roads crossing at this point. Here is a fine camp¬ ing spot, under a sheltering grove of tall trees. The en¬ terprising store at this point caters to tourists’ camping re¬ quirements, and allows the use of the grove free. Between this and Newberg the route lies through a very rich farming country. The number of well kept farms is remarkable, and some of the farm houses are almost better described as mansions. Per¬ haps one of the happiest con¬ ceptions in what a prosperous farm of the most advanced type should be, and what is possible in the way of beauti¬ ful yet simple design in spac¬ ious luxurious farm homes, is that of Orevania, a lone establishment to the right before Newberg is reached. Those who find pleasure in driving along country lanes bedecked with wild flowers, will do well to cross the river at Newberg, and follow the winding road to St. Paul, a little community that boasts of the oldest church in the state; this road surface is SALEM 2 Beyond Salem.

The home of Dr. Johr McLoughlin, built in 1829, is preserved as a memorial of s notable man and a pioneer oi the Oregon country. Within its walls many oi the laws of the state were framed. The first Protestant churches west of the Rockies were etstablished at Oregon City, which also is the hom< of the first Masonic Lodge ir the state. The Falls of the Willamette are seen to the west.

Between Oregon City and New Era are beautiful vistas of the Willamette. New Era has extensive peach orchards, which have given the name of “Peach Blow Curve” to a bend in the river at this point. At Canby there is a remark¬ able view of Mt. Hood, fifty miles to the east. At HUB¬ BARD, in a grove of ever¬ green trees, is a mineral spring with waters of medi¬ cinal properties. On the sky-line to the east, Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson rise high above the foothills. In this district extensive lo¬ ganberry fields are to be seen. The loganberry was produced by crossing the red raspberry with the California black¬ berry. Not only are the dried logans in great demand, but loganberry juice is be¬ coming increasingly and de¬ servedly popular. Salem, Oregon Salem, the State capital, is essentially a home city. It was settled in 1834, by Jason Lee and other missionaries. Willamette University at Sa¬ lem is one of Oregon’s pio¬ neer schools. To the west, as the train enters the city, may be seen the Capitol and the Supreme Court Building. To the east,, a mile or more distant, are located the Ore¬ gon State Hospital and the State Penitentiary. As the route leads south¬ ward through Turner there is an unobstructed view of Mount Jefferson and Three Sisters, about sixty miles to the eastward.

PORTLAND T 0 CALIFORNIA LINE 385 Eugene, Oregon Eugene is the county seat of Lane County and location of the University of Oregon. The city is substantially built, with good hotels, neat business streets and fine residences. It is an im¬ portant shipping point for manufactured lumber and farm products. The Univer¬ sity buildings and campus are seen south of town di¬ rectly west of the track. Eugene is the starting point for good hunting and fishing grounds in the foot¬ hills of the Cascades. The McKenzie River joins the Middle Fork of the Willam¬ ette River three miles south¬ east of the city, and with smaller mountain streams and lakes in the foothills the region affords excellent sport. Eugene is a city worth stopping over a day or a week or more to see. Its very evident air of prosper¬ ity and business activity, its exceedingly well regulated civic affairs, and its beauti¬ ful shaded streets kept so immaculate that even the ap¬ proach to every garage lacks the usual trail of oil drip¬ pings, all these indicate to the tourist a city where life is made worth living. And the indications are not misleading. Many a city with but a tithe of the nat¬ ural attractions and advan¬ tages of Eugene and its won¬ derful surrounding country, would get out a most lavish and highly colored book or brochure setting forth the allurements of the commun¬ ity to the outside world. Eu¬ gene, however, takes anoth¬ er course; the Commercial Club is more concerned in taking care of the tourists and homeseekers that even now tax her hospitality to the limit, than in attempting to make a sort of Coney Isl¬ and of their beautiful city. Of course, Nature has been kind to Eugene. She emptied one of her cauldrons of molt¬ en rock near the river a few odd millions of years ago, and it but remained for the Eugene people to set up a reservoir on this chunk of basalt, scratch the surface a bit and plant a few growing things, start a few Fresno scrapers in a “Here we go wm 386 THE PHO TOMOBILE TOURIST 00 Park.

But aside from the fruit growing business, Medford has plenty of support. It has grown so rapidly and has been planned so well that it has become a natural com¬ mercial centre for every com¬ modity. And as a tourist stopover point, it has much to com¬ mend it. The city has laid out, too, an elaborate auto park, fitted with every modern conven¬ ience. The fact is, whatever civic improvement is found to be advantageous in other and larger cities, is almost immediately adopted by Med¬ ford. The enterprising citi¬ zens of Medford are deter¬ mined to be in the van of progress. From this point and Ash¬ land, a few miles south, the tourist starts for Crater Lake.

The titanic convulsion that formed this remarkable beau¬ ty-spot no human eye wit¬ nessed.

Judg¬ ing from the pitch of the remnants of its outer slopes, scientists conclude with rea¬ sonable certainty that, if re¬ constructed, its s n o w-c 1 a d peak would rise from seven to eight thousand feet above its broken rim.

The wa¬ ters are usually placid, gleaming as though glazed by the sun, and in this mir¬ ror of Nature the reflections stand out with astounding distinctness. Of this feature of Crater Lake, Joaquin Miller wrote: “Fancy a sea of sapphire set about by a compact circle of the grizzly rock of Yosemite. It is great, great; but it takes you days to see how great. It lies 2,000 feet un¬ der you, and as it reflects its walls so perfectly that you cannot tell the wall from the reflection, in the intensely blue water, you have a con¬ tinuous unbroken circular wall of twenty-four miles to contemplate at a glance, all of which lies 2,000 feet, and seems to lie 4,000 feet, below.

D. MOWAT If, dear tourist, you must hurry through to make some scheduled point; if you must arrive in San Francisco be¬ fore the boat sails or in Port¬ land before your cousin is married, turn off the Pacific Highway before you strike Ashland and take the dirt road that winds its way along hills on the North Side of the valley. It's longer, but a time saver if you are in a hurry. You won’t be able to resist wasting a few hours or at least some valu¬ able minutes if you stick to the pavement and run up against the attractions which Ashland offers to lure you from the straight and nar¬ row road. You will “stick to the pavement and take a chance,” you say. All-right friend, others have tried it and failed. Listen just a minute, and let me tell you of the snares which nature has set in Ash¬ land to lure you into idling here.

In this park, and within a block of the Pacific Highway, may be found great bubbling springs of a palatable soda water, a wonderfully medicinal Lithia water the like of which ex¬ ists in but one other known spring in the New World, and a soft and drinkable cold sulphur. A riot of woodland beauty, tumbling waterfalls, clear, ice-cold springs o f pure water, lakes and ponds and flowers and shade. At night hundreds of elec¬ tric lights strung in the trees make the park a fairy¬ land even more beautiful than by day. And did you say you had your camping outfit along— the “original” free auto¬ camp of the Pacific Coast. But shucks, if you are camp¬ ing of course you have had fellow wanderers of the great highway tell you to “be sure and camp at Ashland.” Last year an average of forty cars a night stopped with us and all of them tell us the Lithia park camp is the best on the Pacific Coast. Maybe that camp you stayed in night before last seemed pretty nearly like the best you have ever run into, or maybe it is the camp that you have at home, we won't argue with you but just in¬ vite you to turn off the high- 404 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST way at the little Plaza in the center of town and drive straight i through Lithia park to the auto-camp.

Perhaps you will wander down into town and see a movie in the pretty Vining theatre, have a little bite or a dish of cream at one of the confectioners, maybe take in a dance if you are young and your feet just won’t behave when the jazz band plays. Then, before we forget it, there is the jitney which runs from the auto-camp to the Sulphur Natatoriums of the city. There are two of these, the largest sulphur plunges on the coast, and where you can have a tub, a shower, a swim, or all three for a small In Free Auto Camp, Lithia Park, Ashland, Ore. mice.

If you aren’t camping, there are hotels where you will be treated ight. “Have you still got that ‘hurry on’ bug?” Let’s put it up to you this way: 406 THE PHOTOMOBILE TOURIST IF YOU CAN STAY FIFTEEN MINUTES Turn off Pacific highway at the Plaza in the center of town and drive around the lower park which opens off the plaza.

Before you, for your eyes are turned to the South, loom the Sis- kiyous, just a few miles away by the splendid highway where we leave you, and “over the top” is California, the Land of Heart’s Desire, where “every month is June.” The great Douglas firs you have seen in Oregon will give place to the giant Sequoias of Yosemite; the Washington pine will be supplanted by the stately palm; the inimitable waterways of Puget Sound and the Columbia will be offset by magnificent roads everywhere. Everything is different, everything has its own peculiar charm in the golden state of the Argonauts.
