By FRANK JENKINS In this space yesterday, the tendency of tourists to rush through Oregon at high speed, with relatively few stops, was discussed. How do we know they do? Research carried on in 1958 by the traffic engineering division of the Oregon high way department indicates that in 1958 the average length of stay per tourist car was 3.8 days. The average number of miles driven in Oregon last year per tourist car was 472. If you are going to cover 472 miles in 3.8 days (includ ing the intervening nights) you're going to have to keep moving. Why try to stop them? Why try to stop them? The answer is provided by the same research, which turned up these figures: The average number of per sons per tourist car in 1958 was 3.2. The average expendi ture per person per day was $6.16. The average expendi ture per day per car was $19.71. The computed number of tourist cars visiting Ore gon in 1958 was 1,803,465.- Put it this way - in round numbers. If each of these 1, 800,000 ; tourist cars could have been ; induced to stay ONE DAY LONGER (at $20 per car) the adition to Ore gon's economy would have been 36 MILLION DOLLARS. That isn't hay. T et's carry these figures -M little farther. The research by the traffic engineering division of the Oregon highway department indicates that 43 per cent of Oregon's tourist visitors last year came from California and 23 per cent from Washington. That amounts to 6 per cent of Oregon's total tourist trav el. ' It can be assumed that prac tically all the California visit ors drove across our State of Toffprson It is a reasonably safe assertion that the bulk of . Oregon's Washington visitors drove on into California, crossing our State of Jeffer son en route. , To be on the safe side, lefs assume that a million tourist ran from Central and South ern California and the state of Washington drove across cmithpm Oregon and Far Northern California last year At $20 ner day, assuming that we could have induced all of them to spend an addi tional- day in our area, mat would have amounted to 20 iwTT.T.ION dollars, That isn't hay in our part of the country.
