Salem The state's third largest industry, the visitor and travel business, from all indications' promises another record year, possibly even larg er than last year's record ol S121.000.000, the Travel Infor mation Division of the Oregon State Highway Department an nounced this week. Beginning at S25.000.000 in 1935, the travel business in Ore gon has consistently increased each year through the coopera tion of the people of Oregon, chambers of commerce, high way associations and the Travel; Information Division. Millions Rtad of Oregon I This year Oregon travel and j vacation facalities have been publicized to a total of 88.099.-; 509 magazine and newspaper: subscribers. Full page color ad verttsements have been run in' such magazines as Saturday Eve- j ning Post, Holiday, National i Georgraphic and Coronet mag-j azines. In addition many other ' magazines have published black; and white Dnd two color, one " and two-column ads telling the; Oregon variety-vacation story, j A total of 37 209.709 news-i paper subscribers have been ln-j vited to take Oregon vacations ! this year in an advertising cam-; pa:gn stretching from coast to i Both newspaper and magazine f co?st. ' Both newspaper and mag-l asking potential Oregon visit-j ors to send for free informs j tion from the Travel Informa l tion Division in Salem. These' coupons have produced over 85 000 enquiries thus far this' season and promise to bring ov-j er 10.000 more before the end of the summer i Littraturt Mailed I The Travel Information Di i vision distributed over S00.000 pieces of literature last year I to persons wanting Oregon in formation on everything from climate to dude ranches. Hun dreds of these are answered by special letter with specific in formation on travel and vaca tion facilities. Thousands more are sent a 32-page four color booklet showing the highlights of the Beaver State's vacation wonderland. A form letter en closed in the booklet asks en quirers to write for more spec ific information after deciding what they want to see and where they want to trvel in Oregon. The Travel Information Div ision has found that the visitor industry is one in which every one in Oregon shares and every dollar that comes into Oregon from out- iot- state is above and beyond the normal in-state income. The restaurant man shares by selling more meals, the farmer shares by sell ing more food to restaurants, the automobile owner shares by obtainining better hich ways through visitors' gas tax and everyone eUe shares as the tourist dollar rolls around the slate. Mora Forecast Through the continued coop eration of Oregon's visitor hosts the people themselves the state's third largest in-j dustry promises even larger re turns in the future. Already the j Travel Information Division is I planning next years advertu-l ing campaign which will invite j millions to enjoy the natural, wonders of the Beaver state, j And next year ever a million out-of-state cats will cross Ore-j gon's borders to enjoy the! state's modern facilities and! vacation pica-ures. Ho'pitable Oregomans will be readv for them. Hands Placed Over Eyes, j former Robbed of $4,000 Louisburg. X.

Death has struck again in our little community, this time in a car accident with Bobby Rom inger being instantly killed when the pickup he was riding in wnh two other local boys turned completely up side down crushing him. It seems the boys were coming south on the Beagle road when the car bit some deep ruts and loose gravel cross wise throwing it out of control. The lad driving the car known here as a careful driver was heart broken over the tragedy but anyone not familiar with the road conditions at this point could have had the same thing happen to them. Tee community deeply sympathizes with the grief stricken family In the loss of their son. One cay last week Mrs. Don Wheeler who lives in the west end of the community heard a disturbance in her back yard and on investigating saw her house cat and a large rattlesnake having a little quarrel in a few feet of the house. Tne snake with his rattles buzzing was all cocked and primed and ready to strike, while the cat kept reaching out and dodging back seemingly daring him to strike and the snake apparently real, izing that if he did and missed, the swift moving cat would ' pounce on him while he was ex tended and before he could pos sibly get back into coil. About this time Mrs. Wheeler who had quietly went for the necessary tools returned wear ing a pair of boots and armed with a shovel and while the snake was still occupied in try ing for an opening with the cat a well directed blow with the shovel ended the battle. Mrs. Wheeler didn't tell us where the ranch dog was during this time. GREYHOUND More Travel Extras ' No fxfra Cost I Yes, bigjer value! Wore service to mere" pi:es finest buses. Best drivers.
