Tour letter' is so luU of persuasive ness and of the spirit of your great state that if it were possible to say now I would come out in the Summer I would certainly do, so," says John K. Gore, vice-president ond actuary of the Prudential Insurance Company, of Newark, N. J., who advises that he is going to take the liberty of showing Mr. Wells' letter to some of his friends who may come to Oregon this year. Samuel H. Troth, treasurer of the Provident Life & Trust Company of Philadelphia, declares that it would give him great pleasure to visit Oregon this year, and adds that he "will bear the big State of Oregon in mind" when framing his vacation itinerary. John B. Lunger, vice-president of the Equitable Life, reports that for several years he has wanted to fish the Rogue River, and then go on into the lake country for some of the big "rainbows" that abound there.

His son, who is 1". is -urging his father to pass a month or two in the Oregon woods this Summer. "While the pospect is tempting' writes Mr. Wilcox, "I fear I cannot do so. although my son may work it out for himself, at some point on th Rogue or McKenzie River. If you have any literature on the sub ject send it along. My wife and I are not yet through talking of the pleas ures of our last trip to Oregon." "I have been in Oregon sufficiently to appreciate the beauties of the state." Vrites Walter C. Faxon, vice-president of the Aetna Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn. "I wish I could send my car out there and devote enough time to tour the state properly." Similar expressions are contained in all the other replies received 'by Mr. Wells, who anticipates a steady proces sion of Insurance officials through the state during the next few years.
