THE PEERLESS
BAKERY
About the 20th of October, Mr. F.
E. Bodenhamer and Mrj H. A. -Covey
came to this city from Independence,
Oregonr and opened up a bakery n
the old Statesman; building on 'orth
Commercial street. The store has
been rebuilt so that an' old resident
would not recognize If. The)frdnt
has been remodeled entirely and new
floors', paint and paper have madeflt
look spotless. And spotless itjls In
deed, 'for the, writer found It one of
the cleanest, nicest bakeries he has
been In in mary days, j ' I
The building has a 22 foot front
and a depth of R5 fit and tlie en

themselves on their I "hand-made"

I ACTIVITIES OF THE NOlflil- I
WEST TOURISTISSOCIATION
The year 19 If In future, will be
known as the year, in vrhkih tho-Pacific
Northwest, Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia, decided to go
but and secure its fair share of the
tourist' traffic of Americ. It had
gradually been dawning upon the
people of these three commonwealths
that they had more to attract, ehter
taln, and interest the tourists than
any section j of the North i - American
continent, yet for lack of co-ordination
and of funds, these advantages
have never adequately been, placed
before the traveling public.
In the earjy part of this year; as
the .culmination of a year of persist
ent effort on the part of public-spirited
el Uzens of ,these states 'and this
prvvlnceap association was formed
which secured from the State of Ore
gon "an "appropriaUon ' pt: $45,000,
from U;e state of. Washington $ 4 5,
OpO and from the provlncef 4 IrUlsb
ffcluraUla . $22,590 . (or, a pobllcity
campaign Xor this purpose. , ,
j 'This money was net aaHable until
ayboat the middle of the, year. There
fore, the operations of 'the associa
tion were confined largely to pub
lLclty ifl the Inter-mountaln states to
the east, and to , California In the
sooth. with, the exception v that 'con
siderable publicity was carried .on In
recreation .magazine,'. such as fish
ing, golf, and motoring.
It was gratifying that. ,notwith
stapdlng the war. and all the adverse
conditions resulting therefrom, that
the tourist travel ras heavier the
season Just past than for some yean.
The automobile travel alone was ovar
1 00 per cent greater than that pf the
previous year, and It was very satis
factory to find that this Inereasejwas
principally from the sections in which
the association's adverUsing had been
placed. '.a.: .
Preparations, however, were start
ed for a large- and comprehensive
campaign for the coming year. One
hundred thousand booklets dealing
generally with the whole of .the 'Pa
cific Northwest 'are how on the press.'
These booklets will be fn as condens
ed a form as possible consistent with
the vast territory they have to cover.
PTheyi-will he verr-largely1' confined
to ' reproduced photographs of Its
principal scenic and other attrac
tions, generally be of a jnpt use
ful nature.1 .
FIt special booklets . ate 41 so on
the press dealing with motofing. golf
ing. fishing, yachting1 and mountain
eering. In l the Pacific , Northwest
These, booklets have .been , prepared
chiefly for the purpose of being rent
to ailof thoserbohall reply Jo iha
advertising of the aasociation. and
who naturally will .want to -know
something, of this country before de
ciding -to spend their yacaUon here.
It is the .purpose ,of , the. associa
tion not slm ply to have tourists pat-s
through the Pacific ortwe$t, Ibut
to make it .known throughout I the
length and breadth of this land; es
pecially vto f the Wealthy classes.- that
this is , )he . section in which peopl-J
in wll-toi-do circumstances may., with
their families, spend : the whole , of
their summer vacation. :
It Is felt that a family may spend
a month In any one , section of our
country, and , for twenty years, af teri
wards, spend a month each year In
another section of the country, and
still . feel that they, have ,not xhautt
ed Its possiblllUes as a. vacation re-;
sort. -V' - . f - r -f- ' . - ;'
, In fthe coming year a tentative
plan, of campaign I has heen.prepar' d
which probably is' the moat extens've
ever carried on. by. any section of the
United States o.r Canada.' It wl'l em
brace all the methods of modern pub
licity although Its most ;domhaat
features will . be , advertising n ;tho
great national . magazines jud ; Jn our
most dominant national daily ,aew .
papers. ... j',. -
This .plan has . been , aibmJtted . to
some. of the greatest advertising, ex
perts, in. America and. in Canada and
to many of the passenger iraf lie man
agers f the big rrallronds who have
for years had control of' large dver
Using funds, and .,wbo Jjww the kind
f -advertising.'' tbat , Is . effective, .and
the media ; In which this .advertising
produces the- best-rejntUa. i It-Is gra
tifying; to the association, to find that
these: genUemen , have endorsed In bo
.uncertain -way the testatlv' plan now
in course of preparation.
.in.addlUon to this f plan-of ,puWi
elty. ; arrangements i.have 'been .made
for. representaUves In varioua parts of
the Ignited States, to act for? the asso
ciation in the distrlbotlon of. Its; liter
ature and In giving replies to Inquir
ers. ( The Pacific Northwest . will be
well w represented throughout the,
tourist seasons In Florida" and tt,At-,
untie City. ":'i;r Vp i' ' r .
Arrangements have been made by
which the principal railways! serving
the- PacltlcJorth west will co-ordinate
their advertising for the coming sea
son ywithi that of the association, so
that vwben the campaign i begins it
will make a solid and combined, at
tack on the traveling public; -
It ia; f eltf that i this is the . psycho
logical moment -when the v Paclf ii
Northwest should . put forth ; all : it
energies There are so many coun
tries closed to travel, that thep.ubJJc
mnsti find new avenues, they rust
find new t destinies. they, must find
new scenes and new obJecUve points!
and, therefore, the campaign carried
on by the association wall appeal to
these people is ; 'pew;- country - in
which they, may ? reenperate rand" til
which they -may. regain i.theirhealth
and secure more incentive In the-pco-
secatlon of their daily work, .'y
To Imagine tbat the jpeoplo of tne
United States and of .Canada during
these times of stress and bf anxiety,
mast forego vacations is unthinka
ble, because If ever there was a time
when It 'was necessary' for the buslf
ness man to travel and take a -vacation
in order. that he. max maintain
his poise and a bright and cheerful
outlook. It Is now.
Through the trip recently made by
the secretary to the eastern states
the co-operation of the tourist agen
cies, those who manufacture tourist
travel, has been secured as never be
fore. For the first time In history
specially conducted and independent
tours: exclusively to " the. Pacific
Northwest will be .Incorporated In all
the publications and travel " books
Issued by these agencies. '
Jn the . operations of the associa
tion we have induced one Of tfie most
eloquent and. forceful orators In the
Pacific t 'Northwest, Mr.Frank Branch
Riley, to place his services at our
.disposal as lecturer for three months
and to take . with him .one of the most
.wonderful sets of pictures ever com
plied through the influential centers
of -California- and of the east, so that
he may place before the .wealthy men
who compose the membership of our
exclusive clubs and before the busi
ness men and traveling public of the
large centers cf popuiatlcn In the
most idemonstratK'e form all the ad
vantages .. Vhlch the : Pacific " North
west has to toflei.'l ... V.
Jn China an.d Japan, where ,the.re
! a verv larre leidtire class amonest
'he Occidentals, who find it neces
sary to take a. vacation every few
years, ,the association Is also carry
ing on an exte.nlre campaign In tho
leading newspapers and through their
principal social and commercial or
ganizations. .'.,! rb' ''".:':',"
A special effort Is also being made
to procure an enormous automobile
travel. duUnrthe'cwnlng season, A
slogan has ''been adopted for "One

of .this campaign, the co-operation of

It is anticipated, that the high ways
and by-ways of Oregon. Washington,
and. British Columbia will oe literally

automobillsts from all secUons of the
United States. It Is .well known that
-a tourist Js a forerunner of the 'set

the manufacturer, and the permanent
resident, and-it is anUeipated that
not only will thH section benefit Im
mediately financially from the pres
ence of . these people In , thejr midst;
but our-latent, natural resources by
this means will receive the greatest

paign .have been . already , more than

that -iaot less than eight thousand
Canadians will, spend their winter in
the Pacific sNoryiwest. - ilt is esti
mated 'that each one of them -.will
spend net less than $50,, on his trans
portation and berths, making a total
of something like 4$406,0QO, and If
this .la (the jamount they spend on
their trancportaUon alone. It is only
reasonable to .assume i that at . least
five times this amount will be spent
In the time', they remain In the North
west, .which vwIIl .vary , from one to
four ..months,, making , .a -total of at
least $2.000,000. This Is all new
money.; 'r ' ';;;'" .
