WALLOWA WONDERLAND WEEK.
Starting today this week is to be devoted toward mail
ing a greater Wallowa Lake Wonderland, toward boosting!
It as a vacation land, toward advertising it as a scenic genii
?nd niccca for those seeking the beautiful and unusual in
mountains and lakes.. Wallowa has no superior on this
continent. That is a truth that is realized not only by
the people of Eastern Oregon who know its grandeur but
by all who have visited it no matter where they. hail finm.
It is worth all the development and popularization effort
that can be expended on it.
Actually Wallowa Lake and the beautiful region back
fit make up one of the greatest concrete assets of tho
.jty of Lu Orande and of these Iwoounties. It can mean
'.reniPiidous things in dollars and cents to the business
interests of this section. The ever-increasing stream of
tmnisU and vacationists tbv.t will ln nUrtwled into Wa!
lonu will Bimiiliiie-of 'wealth whose VHlue' we citii'nVii" iiiini
mize. Every citizen of the Iji Orande community is goin-r
to Ik; a direct or indirect beneficiary of this vacation play
ground develorinent. No personal or petty prejudices can
detract from this fact.
This week in Tho Obscnei's news columns we will pr'
iiit many interesting features relating to Wallowa and iu
possibilities for the fuluie. We urge all sincere citizens
to cooperate in securing a greater knowledge of Wallowa
mid a greater appreciation of its advantages on the part
of every member of this and other adjacent communities'.
You are urged to follow Wallowa's development, to lioost
Wallowa locally and with your friends and acquaintances
over the nation. It's an activity that can pay vast rcluiT.d
in community growth mid prosperity.
