" paiialon that was being contemplated, the

, .W.t!i n partneiv he hnught out an old
conservative agency which by uncensinr
application was gradually "built up until
!( representation . Included nineteen
national flro underwriters and one of
the old-line life insurnpne companies.
' Durant was responsible for- the B-llIng,
hla partner for the "inside" work. As
a -rer 't of hla ever widening contact
- lth Flint's business men it was only
nstnral that the former should gravitnla
into real estate; this he did, undertak
ing -both the development of farm lnndn
which wero sold on ensv terms to pio-l
uecrlng farmers and the - erection of
bouses and buslnrss Mocks.
About the period of which T am writ

vately owned corporation, hud, through
a aeries of unfortunate steps, reached a
stage whlre It was neither paying a
profit nor fuucMnnlng to the. natisfnetion
of th cltlxens. W. C. Pnrnnt was aiik

"Few reallre t-Hat the linking of Cali
fornia, treitrni and Washington end
Hrillsh t'olumbla forms the greatest
highway achievement on the- Ainci-h-an
continent." ,
This was the statement of- Herbert
Ontbbert, executive-secretary of the lii-
o'fip- .Nortnwest Tourist Association or
Oregon, Washington and ltritish Colum
bia, who was a visitor iu Kngene a few
duys ago -and -who spoke before the
Chamber of Commerce while-here.'-
"This great highway," declared Outh
bert, '"is 1,8(10 miles in length and Is
iisved Its onllre length with th excep-
tion of 200 miles. It traverses a coun
try of ttin(ch)ess beauty witii aa ever

' "N'ofc only is this the great highwny
of America; but it is the longest jiaved
rmd And "the most scenic in -the world.
In addition to the Pacific highway, there
is( another scenic route of vast interest
to tourists' which runs through the in
terior of Oregon und Washington and
Into the eastern part of British Colum
bia, the' two making -the most delightful,
automobile trip for the people of f,iie
south in summer and the people of
Ahe north in the winter.1 ' .
7 - Travel Increase1
,' "The development of automobile travel
in the' Pacific northwest since the Inau
guration of the Pacific Northwest Tour
ist association has been most phenomenal
due very largely, to intelligent national
advertising of - this ' association. Hlx
years ago when ' -ssnclation was or
ganized there wore few automobile tour
ists -and no automobile caripH. TiNt year
not less thnn 1150,000 automobile visi
tors and there are now in' the Worth nnt
less than 231' eumps. v "! !
"in VK1, 4tlo,WJp persons registered iu.
thehe camps, and durini tbe vast few
years there has oeen' an increasing im-
provement in npieis nna many new re
torts have been bnUt to take enre of this
travel, '' -' , . , .
''Diwitfg the pant) year this influx
of visitors has been such that new mci i
thods of 'transportation have had to hi
devised, especially in iho way of ferry
service. An exceUent forry has lseii e
tublished hfgween Anncortcs and Van
couver Island which was made iiccessary
iu order to get closed onrs onto the is
lahd. This year there will be a new ser
vice iiisngiirnted by the Canailiun Pa
cific from liellingl.am to Vancouver Ia
Iiii'd. landing at Sydney, 1H miles from
Victoria, There will ulso he a new ser
vice from J'ort Townsend to- lCdinonils,
which will give tourists the clioli-e of 11I
tcrnate routes. The snnic" company ,h:is
riode arraiigcmeats for a special boat
from Vancouver and Nulmo .-for; the same
purpose,
"The provincial, government of llrit
ish Columbia will onei: h- iiow-reatl frftm
ilnnff to Windermere in Kustern ltritish
Columbia which will afford a wonderful
trip through Portland. Seattle and Spo
kane into tlie Canadian Itockies. -.. '!
Cuthbert estimates that MO.OOO visi
tors will tunc the Pacific norihwest thii;
year. . ' '
. "Unfortunately," he sr.id, "the asso
ciation will, not ho able to carry on op
erations as in previous yenrs because
funds were not made available by tbe
Uelslature of Oregon and, of course, as
each stale joined in finnncing the 'or
ganisation, when one failed It nuliirallr
followed that the whole financial fnbilc
trnmbled.- This action was not through
any failure to appreciate, the efforts of
the association, but merely on account of
the wave of agitation to cut down stht"
appropriations and because the governor
of Washington vetoed the appropriation
for the same cause last, year, .
