Ore, Jan. 9 (Special) Notwithstanding business coed:- tions of the past year, the annual ' flew of wealth from Oreron's tourist ! traffic continued to pour into the i state. Figures compiled by the ad vertislz and promotion department- of the Portland chamber indicate that auto tourists nstmg Oregon. ' in 1931 spent between S30.0CO.O00 and t25.0CO.000 in the state. - This is lite gold from a mine new wealth to Oregon brought from outside sources, it is pointed out- by mem bers of the advertising and promo tion, committee and by directors of On-to-OregoD, Inc. For the firsi 11 months of 1931. tctal of 90.839 cars were registered as rotors in Oreeoa. an. increase of 619 cars over the corresponding pe riod of 1930. It is estimated that not more than 0 per cent of the Tisuisg cars actually rectster. This being true, the total Tisiung for the first 11 months of the year was 139. 705 cars. These machines brought in an average of three persocs per car. a total ot 419.115. Estimating an expenditure of 87 a cay per person and a stop of sev en days, the total money spent by these auto tourist visitors was S23. 721 ,635 for the 1 1 months. This does ncs include the 66.000 persons brought into Portland annually by stge lines, nor the big ToJume of tcunst trsific that comes by rail. Incidentally, a surrey conducted ty the advertising and promotion department of the Portland chamber last fail would indicate the average tsiT-e spent by visitors as consider ably mere than seren days. Of 2000 persons addressed by questionnaire. 147 responded that they had visited the stite stnee receiving chamber literature sent them as follow-up material to On-to-Oregon s advertis ing in caUonal publications. These 147 represented 493 persons, aa vir tually " every inquirer visited the state in company with from one to fire companions. Their answers also showed an average stay of 105 days. The Seattle chamber went further in a similar questionnaire, asking persons to give the amount they spent. Those answering this spase snowed an average of 810.75 a day. The spent in that region was aUghtly under that passed in Ore gon. t-v fi- rhjit the automobile tounst traffic to Oregon not only held up to but passed last year's (for the first 11 months.

As an ex ample of the place Oregon holds with other states, we learn that Klamath Palls, with a record of seven fatal I ttles last year, and a population of I less than 20,000 has proportionately . tho highest traffic fatality rate In America, the ratio exceeding 33 per , IOC.000. Los Angeles has the larg : est fatality record for any large i American city, but Klamath Palls exceeds even their ratio. AERIAL HEARSE USED JACKSONVILLE. Pla..
