Salesman for All Oregon Treated From a Material Stan dpoint, Oregon's 1922 Tourist Crop Was Worth $10,000,000 and Its Purchasers Got Value Received. 4 I . Infiocmaikia Taartat l BnnuL 4 What would happen in Ongon K half of the, winter wheat crop of Ore gon suddenly should be wiped out? Calamity would reign supreme through out the wheat belt, and every section of the state would suffer. ' The greatest merchant would feei the pinna and Its reflex would be felt by the smallest Tender in the state. ,. ' Suppose all of the spring wheat, an of the oats and barley crops, and the rye. should suddenly suffer a , similar late.1 uresoa sureiy wouia oe in in last stages of despair. ; ' v., ? . Suppose one-half of the wonderful fruit crop Qf the state, a crop which brines. In ordinary years, . mora than S20.000.000. should suffer from bUght. where would the fruitgrower be. and where would business snerally get off.: All to the bad. It would be a calamity, from which it would take years to recover. Should any of these calamitous hap penings occur in this grand stats of ows.-the Joy of living, in spite of our raear climatic ; and other conditons, would for the Urns being largely be minimised. , f , j , But- Oregon has on crop which qusia in volume of money alone the aggiegat value of several of Oregon's important products of the soil, crops which are looked forward to by thou sands of persona te-prevMo them -the wherewithal to Uve, and upon which hundreds of merchants in everv oit-r and hamlet in the state depend for tneir prosperity, and comparatively 'UtUo Is taougnt or it szoept by the few. I refer to tho 10-million dollar tourist crop which Is ours, and which through intelligent harvesting. " hacke4 up - by comparatively little money, can be vast ly increased m a few years. ., . It geoerallr ts estimated that the iv a crop of tourists in Oregon ws worth to the stats tl0.0OQ.00O. Truly a vast sum of money. Where did It come from, and where did it goT ' It came from the four quarters of the United States,' and from some sections in greater volume : than ; from, others. but every state In' the union sent. tour tats into Oregon this year. The great- to marry their sons nddaughters and est single contributor to the roster of state tourists was. of course. California. Every day during the summer hundreds of automobile tourists entered Oregon through California. Idaho and Wash ington. They went to our hotels or camped in our camp grounds, or spread their tents beside lakes or streams or at the foot of mountains, but they came, and came In vast numbers. That is the important thing. -. What became of the estimated tea minion dollars of new money which this vast herds of tourists left within the borders of Oregon T It was spent with the hotels, with the theatpea, with the sporting ' goods . houses, with the garage man. the grocer, and vegetable seller, with the druggist and depart ment stores, with the gasoline stations and the oil service and battery men, and so on down the Una until the en tire roster of business of every type and character, every form of industry and labor received directly f Indirect ly Its share of the harvest. Not a man, woman or child in Oregon but was helped along the financial road, and for soma the road was very rough at the beginning of the season, but became- smoother as tho.- tourist dollars wiped out little bill and obligations hers and there all along the line of en deavor. -'jri--.fj-' But the tourist dollars, welcome as they may. be and as broadly distribut. sd. are not the only -benefits to bo de rived from such travel, x considerable percentage of tourists visiting the Pa cific coast from east of the .Rockies actually are looking for 'a new place to bans' their hats I they are seeking some place on the Pacific coast where living wiil be more ideal, where the summers are not as unbearable and where the winters are -comparatively mild, there to bring their families, there to create a new generation of .people. - Actual checking by the Oregon Tour ist and Information bureau in 1981 in dicated that four tourists out of 10 who visited its offices in the Oregon build ing were seeking new homes on the Pacific coast. A similar check made at the instanes of the bureau In East ern Oregon Indicated that three and one-half persons out of 10, or' 20 per cent, were on a similar mission,; If. the tourists did not spend 'v dollar la the state, the crop would be worth Harvesting, for it in from tourists that Oregon in the years to corns will garner its greatest number of new permanent inhabitants. The tourists become set tiers, and settlers rear families Oregon Increases in population, and with the increase in population will come that large development which will make Oregoft the peer of any of the Pacific coast states. .With increased popula tion will come a larger distribution of taxes to provide for additional road development and a the improvement of our schools and the development of our towns and cities. ' W seek population. One way to get it. to add to the impetus of the cam paign advertising Oregon, to be con ducted by tb Portland Chamber . of Commerce. Is to cater to ths tourist, to see that he has ample facilities for seeing the Mate, for obtaining full in formation regarding ths resources of the commonwealth ana learning at first hand the advantages this stats holds for new settlers, ths hopes to be re alized and ths promises to be fulfilled. - The above, among other things, waa why ths last : legislature created the Oregon ' Tourist and Information bu reau. "The bureau is giving just such service as waa delegated to it; it is performing u its functions L in a most efficient manner, as Is testified to by hundreds of letters from pleased tour ists and prospective settlers, now in its files, and by the word being epreaH abroad among travelers : that ths bu reau is rendering efficient service - to the tourist. The fact that this year ths bureau has already given persona service to approximately 18,600 persons calling at the Portland office, empha sises the fact that Oregon has takes ons step in advance of any other state la ths onion in furnishing service to tourists. A pleased tourist is a good salesman for Oregon . Not -only was the Portland office an extremely busy place during ths sum mer just dosed, but five branch bu reaus also. gave similar complete and efficient service tq some 10.000 tour ists. The branch Offices were located at Medford, Klamath Falls. Bend, Pendleton and Ontario, like ths Port land office, each branch bureau , was equipped - with - road maps and ' with literature covering the state in gen eral. and a va managed by a Pr' son competent to furnish such inform ation as the tourist might desire. - The remarkable increase; in popula tion in California,' the wonderful agri cultural and industrial development of that stats during the- past 16 . or 20 years, may largely .be credited to the fact j- that .California, mors - than any other state in the union.' has sought tourist travel and has profited by it beyond ths most optimistic dreams of thoss in back of her advertising cam paign. : , Oregon, with mors and better scenery to offer than - has California, with a better all . year round climats, with greater natural resouross awaiting de velopment, can do for herself just what California has dons through advertis ing and. the skilful handling of th tourist traffic, and the work can be ac complished with equal dispatch, if the stats is as wen advertised. -The Oregon Tourist and Information bureau is ons of ths chief mediums for bringing about this most-to-bs-deslred sno. , u:-;. . -.
