3 TOURISTS TURN TO SCENIC NORTHWEST Display Spaces in Eastern Papers Appeal to Lovers of Stream and Forest. OREGON GIVES ITS SHARE Association1, Concluding Its First Year of Activity, Expects Heav iest Tourist Travel in History of Nation p It's a cinch that In Eau Claire, Wis., j or Jn Bangor, Me., the folks know more t about the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association and its purpose than do their distant cousins of the land from -whence It hails. And the reason is that, while the "f association has been rapping insistently ll on the doors of the East, it has had but J little to say about itself in Oregon, - Washington and British Columbia the three commonwealths of the scenic In - ternational Northwest for which it is jj consistently working. - The association has nearly concluded i'lts first year of activity.

Pages and half pages have been 11 liberally used in the principal maga ',j zines, but particularly in those which appeal to the lover of streams and p1 woodland, of strange mountains and i cool trails. Motoring magazines have Jllbeen extensively -used to carry the story 15 of the Northwestern tours, while pub lications appealing to the Interest of -f the angler and the mountain-climber t4 have carried the call. Stream and Forest Attract. -j Not through this medium alone has the invitation been extended, for the association has not ventured to carry all of its eggs in one basket. It has j Issued five special booklets, after the .-style of the railway folder, rife with ij, clear half-tones and information. There 'ls one on motoring, another on moun tain climbing, and others on yachting, fishing and golfing. To a carefully selected list of tour- ists who have been accustomed to XI travel in Europe and to other scenic sections of America, has been Issued a special invitation, under the seal of iithe governments of the three common wealths; Oregon, Washington and Brit ZJlsh Columbia. n"In extending the inclosed invitation at this time." reads the card which ac ijcompanied these, "it is desired to im 3 press upon you that it is a patriotic -duty to become more familiar with the l extensive natural resources and latent wealth of this continent, and that there j is no better, quicker nor more thor ough means of doing so than by visit ";lng its various sections. The wonder- ful scenic attractions, with the diver '2sified character of the outdoor recrea Jtion in the Pacific Northwest, are more ;than sufficient to warrant the spend ing of a vacation here, especially If by so doing it will be possible for you Tto gather at first hand valuable infor-j-mation of the resources of the country through which you pass and learn "something of the richness and beauty Of this 'Farthest West " Southern Hotels Crowded. During the Winter season the hotels '"'of Florida and Cuba were crowded with tourists, whom a special effort was made to reach. At the entrance to one 'iof the largest of Florida's fashionable "resorts stands a billboard 80 feet long "depicting and describing the attrac tions of the Pacific Northwest. Printed matter was distributed at these resorts nnd on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, --IJ. J., is established a special bureau, " with enlarged photographs of North 'western scenic attractions and with a Tfupply of the five booklets. The repre sentative In charge reports that the bu-- reau has proved popular and resultful. A campaign has now been started to bring the motorists of California to the "-Northwest. Similar endeavor will be made to bring the traveling public of .iuunictnii unu ttajuining states to ine "three commonwealths this Summer. Success has followed the efforts of '-the association in several important ..r instances. Joining with the press asso ciations of Oregon, Washington and '-British Columbia, in an Invitation to ' visit the Northwest, it has prevailed -upon the National Editorial Association rtto hold its next annual convention in ' the three commonwealths, by a "con-i.";vention-on-wheels" plan. Its secretary, Herbert Cuthbert. attended the recent session at Hot Springs. Ark., and re- "ceived the acceptance of the Invitation, - Personal Campaign Success. The association also brought about a movement to have the delegates to the -, National Advertising Men's Association who will meet in iian Francisco next ijmonth, travel via the Northwest. Most of the delegates will come through the f; Northwest, spending considerable rfme JT here. Those who go via San Francisco ;;will return, in a majority of case "through the Northwest. Si' The association is convinced that Its ;;best advertising medium is the lecture ' tour of Frank Branch Riley and Frank t!l. Jones throughout the East. Thou J sands of letters have been received by 'Northwestern people regarding, this tour, i-iuneireas or columns or news paper reviews were given to the lec- T'.turers and many requests have been "mane ror return engagements. As the result of the tour Mr. Riley has -had two offers from Chautauqua as H'sociations to present the Pacific North-west's attractions before their Eastern audiences. eo weu was me lecture re delved that Samuel Hill, while in Call- J fornta. telegraphed Mr. Riley to come, with his scenic views, and speak before - several organizations in that state. Mr. T Riley has just returned from that trip. " A report made recently by Herbert V Cuthbert. secretary of the association, to the officers and directors, discusses 'Cthe prospect of transportation facilities Z and Is of heartily optimistic tenor. "At the beginning of this year, n writes Mr. Cuthbert. "the association was confronted with a very difficult k, question and one upon which, naturally, there could be two opinions. It was very difficult for each individual di rector, in his desire conscientiously to carry out the responsibilities devolving upon him, to determine whether or not OREGOX DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TOURIST ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS WAGING AN EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN FOR TOURIST TRAVEL TO THIS SECTION.. ml );-!- M )- SI n l ll V tv II J y I ) : : -' r . 1 IF"' V; yfT-: v 'X ;:1 " ; rf -P' I v ' ' L .

MARSHFIELD, Or., June 15.. (Spe cial.) The Coos County Taxpayers' League is rapidly gaining members. Last night, when the league met at Co quille for the purpose of choosing can didates for County Judge and Commis sioners, there were 250 people present. The organization is promoting a re call of all members of the County Court. Mayor George . P. Topping, of Bandon, was nominated to oppose Judge James Watson. John Yoakum, of Co quille, opposes G. ' J. Armstrong, and Neva Harry, of Sitkum or Brewster Valley, will run against Archie' Philip. Much dissatisfaction was expressed about the buy today because the meet ing at Coquille thoughtlessly named all three candidates from the Coquille side of the county and gave the northern or Coos Bay district no representation. Those who dixctissed this mistake to day declared they would, not . support the full ticket, some saying they would support Judge Watson and others that they would stand by Commissioner Philip. There is some talk of holding a spe cial election, but the county court is credited with objecting to tjhis proce dure, claiming the expense could be greatly lessened if the election was held simultaneously with the general election in November. Several wordy altercations occurred during the meeting, between former District Attorney Lileqvlst and Frank B. Cameron, who printed the Agitator here for several years.

This interesting and remarkable state ment was made by Mrs. Hester E. Nap per in an Interview at her residence. 1020 South Second West street. Salt Lake City. L'tah. recently. "Kver since I was a irirl of sixteen. Mrs. Napper continued. "I have suffered from stomach trouble In the form of gastritis and other complications, which as I grew older kept fcettin? worse. boon after meals my stomach would fill with aras and bloat me lit. causlnc almost unbearable pain, and a pressure around my heart that almost cut off my breath. I couldn t est an apple or aa oranare without It inak!nr me almo.c. deathly sick, and milk was Just Ilka poison to me. I had no appetite at all. could eat no meats of any kind, and for years 1 simply suffered agony; At times I was almost prostrated with headache and my nerves were all shat tered. I waa so nervous and miserable. I could get no rest day or nlarht ar.4 felt tired and worn out all the time,' Last Fall my condition became so se rious that my family was alarmed about me. I had riven up nearly ail hopes of ever getting relief and was really afraid I would soon die unless X could get something to help me. APont the first of January I read the testimonial of a party I know and who had gotten such wonderful results from Tanlae that I decided to try it myself. Well, if Tanlac had failed mo I don't know what 1 would have done, as I think I had tried everything else. But It hasn't failed me. I'm thankful to say. On the other hand. I feel Just like a new person since taking It. I didn't reel much beneilt irom my first bottle, but by the time my second hottle was gone I felt a general Improvement. My appetite picked up and since that tim I have had no more pain or smothering spells. I have taken three bottles now and can sleep all night long, and that tired, worn-out feeling has left me. I am not the least bit nervous any more, and my stomach Is in such fina condi tion that I can eat meats and anything else I want without the slightest dis comfort from. it. I find real plej-or now frt living, as I'm able to work, mttu since Tanlac has done so much for me 1 feel like I ought to do what I can to let others know about it. - Tanlac is sold In Portland by the Onl Prusr Co.
