J tend, Ore. has the best place, and while I am not fully posted in de tail, I know there is a man in ch Jrge of the parking and that water and gas are furnished by the jA' at 2!j cents per day per machine or'party. Every one camping wants to reach Ashland and it is becoming the best known town along the line. We had heajd of it before we reached the town, but not wishing to camp, were not interested. However, no sooner had we arrived in town and stopped to buy some films than a man step ped up to the auto and offered to pilot us around the town and espe cially to show us their auto camp grounds. While he was talking with the rest of my party, I went to buy the films. Having paid my bill, the clerk began telling me about his beautiful city and urged that I drive around the auto camp before leav ing. I walked out to my machine and found Mr. Ussher, the telephone manager, already in the machine and ready to show us around. Can Pasa dena beat that? ' " 'This took 45 minutes of time well spent and we left Mr. Ussher wearing a smile of appreciation. " 'No auto party can stop Id that city without leaving some money with some merchant.'
