Hunting The Difficult
The coming of scores of automobiles each day
from California, tourists seeking something differ
ent, prompts ug to wonder how many of these tour
ists have really seen their own state.
The large majority of them probably have tra
versed the main highways, visiting the main cities,
and the major scenic attractions of the state. How
ever, it would probably be safe to say that only a
very small per cent of those who come to Oregon, or
make long trips to other states, have gone to the
trouble to visit the isolated spots in their own
state, where usually many of the most beautiful
scenery and attractions are to he found.
Apply the same principle to Oregon. How many
of the hundreds who annually go to other states in
quest of something different have visited the iso
lated parts of Oregon where really many of the most
wonderful scenic attractions are to he,found!
There are many native Oregonians who have
never seen«.the Pacific ocean from Oregon land—yet
who have traveled hundreds of miles to California.
Many Southern Oregon citizens have never gazed
upon wonderful Crater Lake. The Lakeview and
Eastern Oregon country is alien to hundreds who
have always' contented themselves with trips up and
down the Pacific highway. Mqnnt Hood is known to
only a few, except as viewed from a distant paved
highway. Dozens of other scenic attractions in Ore
gon have never been visited by a great majority of
Oregonians.
Yet, practically all of these make long trips each
year in quest of something different, while it woqld
take almost a lifetime, figuring one trip each year,
for a person to' visit all of the scenic spots in Oregon
alone. We do not know our own state as much as
we should.
The Nickel Cups
Sunday, while showing some of the Shenan
doah Valley visitors about the city, the writer stop
ped at the Lithia fountain in the park. Having for
gotten about the nickle-in-the-slot cup arrangement,
the writer had not supplied himself with sufficient
nickles.
•With only two nickels in his pocket and four
ladies in the automobile, it was necessary to apolo
getically ask one of them if they had two nickels
with which to procure the two additional cups so as
to furnish each an individual cup.
One of the women looked at the slot machine
and remarked: “ That’s peculiar?’
*
She no doubt did not object to spending the
nickel, but it is not difficult to imagine along which
line her mind was working.
Entertainment Missed
Monday many commctng were heard in Lithia
Park because of the fact no entertainment had been
provided for the hundreds who had gathered there.
The crowd did not want a rip-roaring, wide-open
celebration—just some little program which would
have been a welcome to the visitors and added mer
riment or amusement to the day.
Ashland must realize that, regardless of the
number of celebrations in other regions, Lithia
Park will always attract a large number of people
who prefer the beauty and charm of the park to any
celebration which is offered them elsewhere.
It
would be only fitting for Ashland to alwuyg prop
vide some program for the visitors in the Park
on July Fourth, as an appreciation of the visit of our
guests.
We wonder if in 20 years from now wo will
look back and think how modestly women used to
dress.
Hindenburg wanted to get to Paris by Christmas
but Lindbergh got there without trouble before doc-
oration ¿toy.
There is many a close shave'twix the cradle and
the grave for men and women these davs.
Practice does not always make a lawyer perfect
but it frequently makes him rich.
