MARION, OHIO. August 3. The
necessity of candidate Harding's
abandoning his front porch campaign
for more strenuous methods is being
seriously considered by republican

than two speeches a day.

BEND S SUMMER
TOURIST TRADE
AT ITS HEIGHT
HOTELS CROWDED AND
MANY CAMPING
ALL ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Central Oregon Gets Good A1
tiling Through Letters and
Cards of Vacationers! Con- '
tlnues Through Augu.it. ;
Tourist trade through Bend is at
its height with indications that it wilf
continue strong throughout August
and the early part of September.
The gasoline shortage has Its effect
in lowering the number, but on tho
other hand it causes some ot those
who do come to stay longer and get
better acquainted with our town and
locality .
The number of tourists who regis
tered at the hotels last week la es
timated at 180. There is no way ot
computing the number who passed
through who are camping on tho
roads, but remembering that many
people prefer to travel that way, it
is certain that the total number ot
tourists who visited Bend during the
week was well over 200. .
Most of these people are coming
from California and other western
states at present. Tourists from the
east will probably be numerous later
In the month. Ten or twelve car
pull up before local hotels every ev
ening, with anaverageof fourpeople.
Registration at all ot the hotels
reaches capacity almost every night,
and as there are few salesmen on the
road at present, it is safe to pre
sume that a large percentage are
tourists.
Not a day passes but several parttea
visit the' mills and other Industries
here. Leaving out ot consideration
the amount of money spent in Bend
by these tourists, which is considera
ble, the advertising value ot our
tourist trade is inestimable.
A significant fact In regard to the
tourist traffic is the appreciation
with which they regard Bend and the
surrounding territory, and the en
thusiasm with which they write to
their friends in the east and else
where, of the scenic wonders and ot
the wonderful possibilities of this
district. This is not a mere surmise,
not less than titty post cards, pic
tures of the inn, the mills, and
scenic views taken near here, are
mailed from the Pilot Butte Inn
every day. These cards do not go to
nearby towr.s, but to the east nnd
south, where numbers ot people are
learning of Central Oregon and ot
Bend. i
AUTO LICENSE MIX-UP

That Bend Police Department Is On'
Job Discovered By Pendleton
Banker Error Made In Salem..
That Bend may be a small town

an error In the secretary of state's
office and his statement was con
firmed by a wire from Salem. While

towns in the state with his car but
never before hud tho mix-up in the
license been discovered.
