$92,000,000 Oregon
Tourist Trade Forecast
PORTLAND The annual influx of summer tourists
will pour about $92,000,000 into Oregon cash registers this
year, a survey of the latest seasonal trends by the Interna
tional Geneva Association, world-wide hotel employees or
ganization, discloses.
The $92,000,000 forecast would place the 1949 tourist-
trade dollar volume at about the .
same level as a year ago, V. A.
McNeil, manager of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce tourist
center, said. In 1947, vacation
ists spent $107,000,000 in the
state.
Hotel and food prices are
largely unchanged in Oregon
this year, Frank A. Ludwig,
I.G.A. executive said. However,
visitors will find some lower
prices for quality liquors in the
state, according to L. Lee Krost,
State Stores division manager
for the Gibson Distilling Com
pany, who said his concern's
Gibson's Selected 8 whiskey is
now selling for $3.60 per four
fifths quart compared with $3.85
formerly.
Hotels may lower prices if ac
commodations are not entirely
filled, McNeil predicted. This
year tourists will tend to spend
more carefully, he said, but at
the same time Oregon business
is certain to be cushioned by the
state's 50 per cent increase in
population since 1940 and the
large number of friends and
relatives of Oregonians who will
be visiting here.
R. S. Kidder, tourist manager
for the Oregon State Motor as
sociation, estimates 10 to 15 per
cent more tourists will travel in
the Beaver State in 1949 but that
each tourist will spend less on
his vacation trip. Transportation
costs in the state will be the
same as last year, except for a
one-cent-per-gallon increase in
gasoline taxes and reduced fares
for "coach service" on Northwest
Airlines planes.
Luggage and sporting goods
prices are 20 per cent lower
in terms of inipoved quality,
Charles Snell, manager of Mier
and Franks depaninent sli.re,
reported.
Tunnel Building Like Life Plus

EVERYONE knows that to dig a tunnel you have to remove rocii
and earth, but most people don't realize that constructing a
tunnel is like life: You have to put in just as much or more than
you get out of it. For example, at Union Pacific Railroad's new
6,700-foot tunnel at Aspen, Wyo., 250 workmen are putting in
60,000 yards of reinforced concrete, 5,000 tons of steel and more
than two years time, all of which with countless other things add
up to a total bill of $8,000,000. The upper left picture is a short
course in tunnel construction. In the foreground is a double curtain
of steel reinforcing further strengthened by steel beams and heavy
timbers. In the background, looking toward the east portal, are V.'.a
810 feet of two-foot-thick concrete lining poured to date. How con
crete is poured is shown in the upper right picture. This main
moth track-mounted form, one of two on the job, is in the shape ot
the tunnel and 54 feet in length. When a section of steel rein
forcing is completed, the form is moved forward into position and
concrete pumped to the top and permitted to flow down through
the beams, timbers and reinforcing. When the section has so,
the form is moved forward. The workmen In the lower right are
putting the finishing touches on a maze of reinforcing woven
around steel beams and timbers. While reinforcing and concret
ing progressed from the east portal, men and machines on ahead
continued to cut through the mountain as shown at lower left.
The mucking machine at the bottom of the picture is located on
the tunnel floor and is engaged in scooping away the lower section
When the tunnel Is completed some time- late this year, Union
Pacific's Omaha-Salt Lake City 1,026-mili "tralnway" will be
completely double-tracked.
