I , A renewal ot tlie county library has been urged on tnc
couify court for the second consecutive year. Mothers and
teachers from various parts of the county see need for greater
librai'y facilities. They are interested in the mental welfare
and development of children of the county. Certainly noth
ing (J more important. Certainly the interest of mothers and
teachers in thus seeking to better future citizenship deserves
encouragement. The cost to, the county would not be great
and&he six per cent limitation would, amply allow for so
small an increase and permit other projects as well. The
couit. will not 'make a mistake by squeezing the county li
braij into the budget for next year.

he '(development of Wallowa county is as niuch a jnat-
it coifcern to the people of this section as the develop-
of Union. . Ilailroad building contributes to develop-
but not always in the direction anticipated. Consider-'
jUie pitiposcd routes of a cut-off for the Union Kacific'
tho Lewiston territory, .the Grande Ronde Ilivor route
would appeal, we believe, more strongly to Wallowa county
citiriis than tho road down the Snake river. In the first.
pla'c,,' the Siiitke' River "road might, at' the particular ijointl
oppttsite Wallowa county's border, go down the Idaho sidei
i for Wit! sake of construction expediency, which Avouldnot be
of great benefit to Oregon. Without a direct connection with
aii-rctciision of the Joseph branch-which is not likely the
1 direct benefit to Wallowa county would bo limited to a small
. anion lit of territory along the river, territory that would be
jdraificd of . its products into Idaho and Washington. The
Grafede Rondo River route, on the other hand if a shorter
railiine into the Lewiston country is an actual public ncccs-sityj-would
provide the same saving of distance, would be
ptissjblc with many millions saved in construction, would j $1,119 box.
opcrt a vast territory rich in timber that would foed the
'mills of Wallowa county, and would give a more direct and
generally beneficial outlet to the north. The advantage to
Wallowa county of the latter, route seems much the greater.

, A Canadian newspaper rcmai'ks,. with1 considerable satis-
i faction, that the third-largest industry in that country. is the
"toijiist industry," and its- gross receipts are second only in

1928 foreign automobile tourists nearly all Americans
spcit limit1 than $2(10,000,(100 there, and the amount is much
gremer this year.
o that's what our people are when they divc across the
border raw material for an "industry." Hut it's just the
same if they drive around in their own country. The biggest
tourist industry in the world is right here at home. And here,
as in Canada, sometimes the home people fail to get their
riglvlful share of the profits.
' 1 "?The large .cities," says the Canadian paper, "are alive
to tbe importance of the industry, and tradesmen are on the
hleij to secure as great a portion us possible of the money
whifjh the .visitors are determined upon spending. Some of
the wnmller communities which are suffering a loss of gen
einl'proKperity from the competition of other centers might
well' take into consideration the question of obtaining a larger
sharic of tourist trade by catering especially to the needs of
visitni-Si .Many a small town or village which can never hope
to become a big commercial center has scenic and other fea
luroK which, if properly made known, would make a strong
app&tl to the visitor."
; Qur small towns for a while were threatened with ruin
froiji'losing their accustomed business to the big cities, after
lhe automobile made il easy for local patrons to go and buy at
11 dilance. lint the same travel facilities that took customers
away may also bring customers from afar, in greater nuin-liei-s;
Right here may be revealed a trade secret which many
small towns do not seem to know. It isn't plastering a town
all tiver with ugly posters n.nd sticking a glaring, smelly gas'
station on every coiner that attracts tourists ami gathers in
theij' money. It's making the town pleasant to look upon,
so that the casual visitor wants to stop there. The people
froi the country may wish to travel to the city, but it must
be ramembercd that city people hit for the country and there
are u'cautages both ways.
