The Hood River Nows quotes
Frank Massee, who returned this
week from an Hiitomobile trip
tliru Central, Southern
ami
Western Oregon, :i* follows in
regard to the general opinion o f
the traveling public about the
Columbia River Highway. In
an interview Mr. Massee said:
" I was astonished at the in
terest that ns being taken by au
tomobile tourists i.n the opening
ot the Columbia Highway. We
met scores ot tourists who, as
soon as they learned we were
from Hood River, wanted to
know when the river road would
be open for travel. This question
was asked us by every one we
met. Certainly we do hot real
ize the number o f tourists who
would pass thru Hood Ilive:' if
the road were opened. On the
boat yesterday 10 autos were
shipped from Portland to The
Dalles, and this not a fraction of
those who would pass thru if we
had a road.”
