NOTES FROM THE T AUTO CAMP GROUND There was a clean sweep of all the campers who had come to be regarded by camp visitors s as acquaintances, and an entirely new crowd took their places Thursday eyilng. And yet the camp was pretty well filled that nlglit eight or ten cars. By 10 o'clock Friday morning, all these wer gone except one couple from Yakima, bound for Southern California looking for work along the way. They had tarried to give the woman time to di her washing. An elderly gentleman from Port land, who spent a day on our camp recently, a gentleman with business experience and a business eye re marked on the business advantages which Springfields water power af forded. That seemed to be the prin cipal thing that Impressed him here. There were no over-Sunday camp ers. One party csmped over Sunday night. Four cara pulled in during Monday evening. One party consisting of two men and a woman, from Portland, . were bound for Southern California, Another, consisting of a man, a woman and a young bulldog, from Long Beach California. Expected to look out along the way between here and Portland for a small tract oa hich they could ralae poultry and small fruit. A man and wife, in a third car, who had formerly lived at various places hi Western Oregon, and for Bome years back in the Ben! region, had stopped fcere several days ago, gone south and back, and were going down the Siuslaw next. They were looking for land. Portland has municipal lauto camp on which a registration Bee of 50 cents is charged. It is estimated that the proceeds for the three sum mer months will amount to about $2500. and that this will pay for the upkeep of the camp. Travelers re port that in some places in California there is a small charge for camping priveleges. These are signboards Indicating what tourist travel will ; mean two or three years from now.

B. Whitney, who was going to his hay baling work, ac companied by a lady who cooks for tkw crew. The cycle was overturned and all the Monico party seriously bruised. There is a sharp conflict between the accounts given by the two parties: tte Mo.nicos claiming that Whitney failed to signal for the turn into the side street, and Whit ney claiming that he did. Tte mat ter may be tried out in the courts. . Kensington Club Meets The Kensington club spent a most pleasant afternoon Friday at the auto camp with Mrs. H. W. Whitney as hostess.
