I'Yoni Hie press reports received lYniu N-ileiu it seems
that tlie legislature is in a' most fa iiialilo frame of mind
towards 1 lie bill ajiiiropriatin ii(),()(l(i which to
Itnild the Valor lake lioulovnrd. Like the wildest dreams
of youth, it seems too jjood lo he tj'iie, Still, when I ho
advantnuosof such ii road are remciiiliereil, il is easily
to he Been what: nrnuiiicuts are at luid for the const nic
t iW of sueli'a road. One i Is hid lo reflect on the extra
ordinary movement froiii all over the country to Cali
fornia during the jiast ' years, where I hey have tin iillrac
lion of one of (he greatest; and most heaiitiful valleys in
the world-- (he Vosemife. ' " t ' ' " ' '
This, movement lias hecn for (he greater pari in the
shape of, tourists' excursions, similar to llie thrones mi
grating yearly to southern I'nrope. However, they dif
fer in one respect --visiting Kurope they are tourists, pure
and simple; while those who have visited California have
sneeiiinhed to I lie climatic, scenic and other charms of the
stAte. They have remained to hnild mighty cities, to plant
countless orange groves, to j'oree the Rear state to the fore
when compared with her sisters id' the coast.
With the const ruction of n boulevard to wonderful
Crater lake, Oregon will contain a magnet that will at
tract a vast army from all portions of the United States
yes, from all parts of the civi.ilcd glohe. hi Ihe past
there has heen a constant migration to Oregon of those
who came to bolter their condition financially thai his
evolution has heen, and ever will .be, a slow and painful
operation. I!ut (hose who come for aesthetic reasons are
cultivated, well-to-do, and often wealthy. They will come
to see; seeing, (hey will he charmed: charmed, they will
remain. The stump of their virility will be on the hind and
will find its expression in mighty cities.
Xot alone will the tourist lie charmed vi!i he;mtf;il
Crater lake. Aside from this, southern Oregon can tender
him the finest trout streams for his fly, Ihe finest game for
his gnu, admirable opportunities for investment, mid one
of the finest climates on earth. The easterner's complaint
has ever been that southern California weather i-; too much
of a "sameness." Here we can offer him the Irippy me
dium the climate thai is never too hot or too cold.
With the construction of the Crater road will dawn a
now era .for southern Oregon. Too long has the matter
been neglected.
.1 ' V.t XIUITY (!' Ol'IXIOX.
In most of the states at this time the most concurrent
consideration and action is being given direit primary
legislation. Although the direct primary is sli'l in the
experimental stage, nu-st of the governors of the various
states have recommended in their messages to t!io legisla
tures now in session the enactment of new lav oi amend
ment of those already in force to accomplish this end.
And it is significant that not a state official, of tried re
sponsibility, has advised a return to the old form the
convention system.
In Minnesota, where for some time this la lias been
in effect, (iovernor Johnson approves the priu iple and
urges improvement, lie says:
Wlialecir criticism may hart Intii intuit. jis! or ee

urn iiri'im. but in the states nhere the primary election
laic has been extended n nirersnll y the most ron-plete sat
isfaction obtains.
In other states the governors have, in tlir majority of
cases, urged the matter, t iovernor Hughes of Xew York,
(iovernor Vassey of South Dakota, (iovernoi Warner of
Michigan, t iovernor Marshall of Indiana, (iovernor Fort
of Xew Jei-M-v all of these either press the enactment of
new laws along this line or declare the system will lie a
success with further extensions. Xot one would take a
step backward.

It might have ln-eu that more of Mod ford's citiens
would have visited Salem Wednesday had it Ihhmi generally
known that the bunch was to have been invited to attend
the banquet given by the Salem board of trade to the '2"th
legislative assembly tkat was probably worth the trip in
itself.
