"Tourists see things differently" said Miss Korden. "Oftcn-tinies we tell a tourist that the road to a certain point ia good, while to the noxt person at the counter Imiulr Ing as to the same road we may say that It is not so good. This may seem like a contradiction, but nevertheless when dealing witli thousands of tourists annually one must of necessity acquire an in sight of the point of view of the tourist desiring Information. A road considered excellent in Mon tana may not seem so good to the Oregonian who confines his travels to the hundreds of miles of Im proved highways In his homo slate. On the other hand the tour ist who Is accustomed to driving over really bad roads will think that a gi uvel road, even though badly rut led or corrugated is a fine thoroughfare, so In giving out Information we attempt to give it out from the perspective of t he tourit who is to use the road."
