Thursday. January 27. 1921 Drawing the Tourist At the last convention of the Oregon State 10 lit-»rial Associa tion at Astoria, August 14th, 1920, the subjoined resolution was unanimously adopted: “ WHEREAS: The d e v H o p inent of tourist travel means millions of dollars annually to Oregon, for wdiich the tourist gets bigger value than can be secured anywhere else in the world, now, therefore, be it “ RESOLVED: That we stand ever ready to support the work of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association, and h. lievc that the promotion of tin* tourist travel is a distinct asset to the state.’’ Four years ago Oregon was looked upon only as a state cn the way to other tourist regions, hut today it is the object of thousands of people who will spend their vacation here. Hundreds of letters are being received from all over the Unit ed States asking for information about Oregon from prospective settlers and new residents through the publicity which the Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso ciation has carried on. No high er tribute to the successful ex penditure of this money can he imagined than the splendid edi torials which have appeared in some of the biggest daily news papers throughout the United States add Uanada. This work should not only continue, but it should he enlarged as much as possible, l'odothe same amount of work, even, that the associa tion has done in the past will re- « juin* more funds because of the increased cost of advertising space and of printed matter. I'he state has the cumulative value of the past four years of etfort which is a foundation for the work of this coming and the future years. We have been the recipient lately of bills, bills and yet more hills. Fortunately they are leg islative and not duns. LEND-A-HAND We have received a communi cation from T. S. Dietrich of Portland, on behalf of helping to revive the Oregon state prison paper, “ Lend-a-Hand.” This formerly was published by the prisoners themselves, |but being dependent on outside voluntary subscriptions, was forced to sus pend. We append letters from Governor Olcott and Warden Compton showing the value in prison reform of such a publica tion. The price is SI. 00 a year and subscriptions may he mailed to 'I'. S. Dietrich, 669 Everett St. Portland. We gladly boost the enterprise, for perchance if w*e should ever write unadvisedly with our pen, we might have an enforced sojourn in the state pen. Gov. Olcott writes: “ I wish to say that the magazine “ Lend-a- Hand,” which recently suspend ed publication, gave some highly gratifying service, which 1 think had splendid results both for the men inside the walls and in bringing about a clearer under standing of prison conditions to people outside. A prison paper properly edited and managed I believe to he an excellent asset to the institution and a strong fac tor in the betterment of prison conditions. ” Warden Compton w rites: “ A prison paper is a very nec essary adjunct to any prison in that it gives an added impetus and interest in prison reform; ac quaints the world with character of prison inmates, is conducive to a more kindly interest and ev ery day consideration for prison ers, helps build up faith in hu manity and helps justify the hope that is in them.” “ With proper financial support this paper could he made a great factor in the community and in the state at large. ” For Fruit Growers C. I. Lewis, manager of the organization department of the Oregon (1 rowers Co-operative Association, is still strong for prune, notwithstanding present conditions, He savs that ulti mately. prunes will prove as they have in the past, a gtx>d invest ment. In the planting of cherries, he calls attention to the fact that Royal Anne. Ring and Lamberts are not only self-sterile but that with these varieties must he planted the Long Stemmed Wa terhouse or some other good pollen izer.
