ifornia has four times the population of Oregon. That's one
advantage. And the summer down there is four times as
hot as Oregon winters are cold. That's another advantage.
The fact that one small city determined that a half million

California visitor in one year helps substantiate these ad-

The best that

The better and more attractive we can make the various
avenues of approach to Oregon, the letter off will we be.
A few Oregonians are going to take advantage of tlve
avenues to wander outside temporarily, we adinit, but
thousands of people in other states not so attractive will
grasp the same advantage to come in. And that business is
tremendous for Oregi-n, if we but realized it.
Ta'k to the hotel men in La Grande, the garage men. the
grocers, the restaurant keepers, the tourist camp oporatou.
the filling s.atin owners, the drug store proprietors, the.
various places of business offering those items of merchan-!
thse or seivicc fn' which the motorist has use. They do not '
make a definite check, but they can tell you the tremendous'
mnount of money that must Ih spent here each summer sea-j
son by touri.-U. A half million dollars a year is quite '
paysv'!. We have only tlmv M.vntls gieater than that in '
Grande and we are as pnmd of them as Punch. Yet the
visiting motorist brings such a payroll here each summer.
;.!id gos by too htt'e uppiwiatod. j
Tlie business brought by motorists frtm other states is:
growing each year. Oivgon's fame in climate and scenery
is gtiwing. And the stivngest influence in favor of a trip'
to Oiegon is the excellence and extent of Oign highways.
A goxl investment? We cannot see how the state can make;
a belter ice- from a business standpoint. I
