Record Tourist Travel
WITH drought in the summer, blizzards in the winter and
dust storms in the Spring and Fall, thousands of people
of the Middlewest, have decided to pull up stakes and go West
this summer.
Some of them plan a round trip journey; they intend to
look over the Taeifie Coast, before deciding to settle in it.
Others pln to put their belongings in a trailer, and "stake a
claim" somewhere the other side of the Rockies. Still others.
intend to take advantage of
marginal lands, and establish rural homes in Oregon and Wash
ington. There will be many, also, who attracted by low railroad
fares, will come west to see the San Diego Exposition, and
before returning will visit Oregon.
In other words, everything points to a record breaking
tourist travel and eastern migration to the Pacific Coast this
summer.
It is not too early for the state chamber of commerce and
the local chambers of commerce to prepare for meeting the
situation, and gaining the maximum benefits for Oregon,
from it.
A Tip to
WE BELIEVE the Southern Pacific can render a real service
tn this section of Southern Oreoron. and also increase
passenger traffic on its Siskiyou line.
People coming to the coast via the railroad will.not be as
much interested in speed as in seeing the country. But under
the present S. P. schedule and

of the Natron cut-off!
A change in train schedules
enjoy the glorious Siskiyou panorama, from an observation
platform in tha daylight, and
tha slanting rays of the rising or setting sun, would interest
every tourist, and give them some idea of the character, the
scenic and natural attractions of this section of the coast, in
stead of none at all.
FOR THE advantage of few

Siskiyous, the views of Mt. Shasta from a thousand different
angles, and the beauties of the Cow Creek canyon and the
Umprpia Divide.
With Crater Lake as an added
the S. P. could, by FLAYING UP THE ATTRACTIONS OF
THE SHASTA ROUTE, treble the passenger traffic over the
Siskiyou grade, and thus be justified in running, between Med
ford and San Francisco, something more than a spur line
"accommodation." which can only crawl through some of the
finest country on the coast, after the shades of night have
fallen.
AT LEAST it seems only proper, that the S. P. give its patrons
a FAIR chance to CHOOSE between the two routes

know and LET THE WORLD KNOW, there are two routes,
and that aa far as seeing the country and enjoying the western
scenery is concerned, the Shasta has it over the Cascade line

A Mental
THE present situation, economically, ia pretty accurately
summed up in the statement that business is much better,
than business sentiment.
For months now, practically every statistical service in the
country has presented facts and figures showing steady im
provement. There is plenty of money, there is no absence of
credit. In some lines new prosperity records have been estab
lished. In a majority, conditions are vastly better; in none are
they WORSE, and yet,
No accurate observer can deny that psychologically the
country as a whole is still in the doldrums, dissatisfied with
the present and fearful of the future. The true Big Business
optimists like Henry Ford, can be counted on the fingers of
one hand. In the matter of morale, the average business man,
as the cash register chatters and tingles, continues to lean
against the wailing wall and weep.
There are prohahly as many explanations for this strange
condition as there are experts to make them.
Some say it's the currency; others, international trade;
others, (he basic industries; others, politics, and still others,
claim there is no concrete cause, the whole thing is merely
psychological.
HPO OUR way of thinking, the last named have the best of it.
The PRESENT situation strikes us as being largely a case
of shell-shock. It ia not what we are ACTUALLY suffering, or
enduring NOW, but the alter effects of what we have suffered,
and above all, what we FEAR we may suffer in the future.
In other words, American business at the moment, is essen
tially a "mental case." The great need is not this panacea or
that, hut a clearing of the national mind, of the debris of th
late catastrophe, and a more wholesome, more courageous and
more sanguine point of view.

A CTION on Oregon'a road program
ts la slowed, th headlines tell us.
Lack of Information regarding federal
grants to th states under th new
work-relief program Is said to b re
sponsible for th delay.
Too bad. Still, we muat remem
ber that FIVE BILLION dollars Is a
lot of money. Knowing Immediately
whereaU of It is to be spent, and
how, Is probably beyond the capacity
of any set of men on earth.
So let's be patient.
DELEGATIONS from all over Ore
gon attend the first meeting of
the new highway commission, all In
tent on finding out what can be done
for their sections In the way of road
building.
That la proof, If any were needed,
of the keen Interest In highways,
even after all these years of highway
building.
The whole five billion dollars of
federal relief money could be spent
for roads and still we wouldn't have
anywhere near the roads we still wsnt
and need.
THIS Insignificant writer, for one,
wishes the whole five billions
were to be spent on rosds, thus pro
viding needed employment for labor
and marketa for building materials,
as well as providing ua with some
thing tremendously useful In return
for the money.
But if wishes were horses all beg
gars would ride.
A CUBAN boy a civilian, not a
soldier dies before a firing
equad; the first civilian thus to die
since Cuba, with the aid of the Unit
ed States, threw off Spanish rule.
In aU this welter of complaint
about the Yankee Imperialist, let's at
least remember that when America
went to war with Spain back In 1808,
she DID at least end the hundreds of
years of bloody misrule In Cuba and
give the Cubans something better
than they had ever known before.
That Is something.
SAD headline: ,
"Schoolboy Quarrel Leads to
Shotgun Slaying at Burns."
Two boys, aged 12 or 13, fought, one
using a knife and the other a rock. The
father of the boy who used the knife
refused hotly to believe his son would
do such a thing, and in the ensuing
quarrel hla anger rose so high he
seized a shotgun and killed the man
he was arguing with.
When a fight, of ANY sort, starts,
nobody can tell where It. will lead to.
Ye Poet's Comei
Life's Storms
Once I found & beautiful lily,
On a bright morning In May.
Its head erect, Its perfume sweet,
It smiled In the brightness of dsy.
But low, the storm clouds gathered.
They bent Its stately head.
When I passed again tn the evening
The beautiful lily was dead.
Then I met a fir young maiden
amlllng
With th dreams of youth.
Her eyes were like the starry heav
ens. Her heart was the hearth of truth.
But the storms of life swept o'er her.
Leaving her lonely and spent.
Till her heart was crushed like th
lily
Her form with life's storms was
bent.
So the Illy and the maiden which
God had made so pure;
Had lost their sweetness and beauty.
With the storms they could not en

That the maid and the lily fair.
Might dwell again in the lend eternal.
Where no storms are over there.
