Our Possibilities
“ This is a great country,” ,as a slogan, has
become rather universally adopted in this region. In
fact it has come closer than any other slogan or
advertising campaign to express the true sentiment
of thought and opinion of southern Oregon.
This reminds us of the need in southern Oregon
pf some organization which would speak for the
fentire area, the location of probably more scenic
attractions, beautiful highway drives, prosperous
cities and other features • which tourists want to
Bee than in any other equal area in this country.
Equally interested in the development of this vast
scenic wonderland are several towns in California,
Which should be willing to join with southern Oregon
communities in telling the world what we have^—and
telling them in an effective, not a halfhearted, way,
R8 the individual communities can only do when they
het along.
It would he difficult to define this area, to lim it
Its bounds; but merely as a suggestion, a tentative
outline is used.
\
Begin at Dunsmuir and go north on the Pa
cific highway to Roseburg, including Weed, Yreka,
Hilt, Hornbrook, Ashland, Medford, Central Point,
Gold Hill, Grants Pass and Roseburg, with many
resorts and amusement places along the route.
Klamath Falls, Crater Lake, Chiloquin and Diamond
Lake, Lake of the Woods, the Lakeview country-
east of the Pacific highway—with the Green Springs,
Medford—Crater Lake Klamath Falls—A shland -
Lake of the Woods, ahd later the Weed—Klamath
Kails roads Connecting that vast treasure trovd of
spots to lure the tourist with the Pacific highway.
Grants Pass, Oregon Oaves, Crescent City and many
other attractions West of the Pacific Highway, which
the magnificent Redwood highway has opened.
This is the barest skeletoU of the possibilities in
this area and could be added to indefinitely—Rogue
River, Klamath River, various mountains and dozens
of other attractions, all combined making a lure
which it would be difficult for 'the tourist to resist
Efforts have been made, it is true, to organise
the district, notably the one two years ago when
The California-Oregon Power company agreed to
generously contribute to a collective fund for the
benefit of the entire area. Petty jealousies and
trivial imaginary difficulties arose ana were exag-
grated by various communities, and the result was
as has always been a failure.
There must be a psychology in inter-community
organization /md boosting that we do not under
stand. How does southern California—where every
community almost is different from every other com
munity, where there are dozens of highways, each
with a certain claim of being the gateway tp this
and that, dozens of cities offering special attractions,
seacoast and mountain and plain, small cities and
large cities, where there is every element which
should engender jealousies if they have any right at
all to exist—unite and say southern California, not
Los Angeles, Riverside, Santa Barbara, not seacoast
or mountain, city or urban.
They have found that the tpurist is not seeking
just merely one locality, one city, one kind of
scenery, or an individual attraction—that ho wants
