realize the responsibility we have assumed in
endeavoring to make the copy readable. •
Notion# ago we read an eastern bank'ad­
vertisement in which this sentence was used :
“This'Institution Has Achieved the Recognition of Leadership.”
That, of course, is an achievement worthy
of eiriulation and one to which we naturally
aspire, and while we are thus aspiring one of

Herbert Çutbbert, formerly esecu­
tiva secretary of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association and now publicity
manager of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, in two addresses here, one
to lueiultera of Jbe Chamber of Com­
merce and the other to members of
the Tuesday Lunch Club, enthused
local folk over the value of scenic
asseta. In hia address at the lumii
club Mr. Cntliliert praised the city
council for its action in proceeding
wltii the purchase of the 37\4-acre
tract west of the city for automobile
park purirases. He declared that he
was the initial exponent of the BO-cent
per day charge for motor tourists at
municipal automobile parks. He de­
clared that the city had made a 'mag­
nificent buy; that the perk would ]>ay
for itself in the course of time.
Mr. Cuthbert declared tbat the city
would have a decided need for this
automobile jmrk for the next five
years; that afterward private -enter­
prise would carry oil tbe development
of auto parks.
“Gpd has been good to yrm folks in
the Hood River valley," d<>ciared the
publicity man In the course of his
Lunch Club address. “You have ev­
erything that one might wish here in
your valley. You approach as closely
an ixissible to the Carden of Eden
You have oporto, scenery and health­
ful recreation.”
He prslst-d the public spirit of the
city nnd valley. He Mid he was, al­
ways glad to come to Hood River be­
cause of Iasdic Butler, who was for
seven years a director of tbe Pacific
Northwest Tourist Association?
“Tn tboae seven years," said Mr
Cuthbert, “we learned to love Mr.
Butler and the Hood River valley be­
cause of the wonderful stories he told
of it.”
Mr. Cuthbert praised the spirit of
cooperation that exists tietween the
Chamber of Cnmmrnv and Lunch
CJtib. He declared that the local
chamber Is unique in that it has one
of the largest per capita financial
supports in the country. It derives
he said, an approximate >3 per head
from the --nutation. Mr. Cuthbert
commended the Wlyeast Club for the
work it has accomplished in the ex­
ploitation of Mount Hood scenery.
He gave the highest' praise to Kent
Shoemaker and the American Leglop
for the unique annual Mount Hood
outing, which ha cited resulted In a
record number fthren'dine a glacial
snow peak last summer.
Mr. Cuthbert at the chamber meet­
ing Monday night outlined tbe plans
of the Portland Chamlier of Commerce
to expend >300,000 in bringing tour­
ists to Oregon. He declared that no
effort will lie made to bring the east­
ern and middle western population
away from their homes as prospective
land settlers, but Mid that many of
them will remain as residents of the
dqnd of their desire. For that reason
lie urged on the local chamber mem-
liers the advisability of tying in on
the campaign for bringing in tourists
with a land settlement committee.
The chamber, too, eras nrged to pay
attention to methods of attracting the
tourists on their arrival. Mr. Cuth­
bert esti-mated that 1,000,000 tourists
will visit Ore-on this year. In the
year 1925. he predicted, the tourists
will be Increased another 20 to 25 per
cent Last year, when more than
.100.000 tourists came here, Mr. Cuth­
bert said, they left >18.500,000 in the
state of Oregon.
— “This money docs not all go to the
hotels.” said Mr. Cnthbert. “aa some
folks think. I have found that the
hotel man gets only about 15 cents
of each dollar. The rest goes for
labor, for fnrnitnre, crockery, garden
truck, poultry and such items. It
gets a wide distribution throughout
the community.”
Mr. Cutbliert touched on the spirit
of depression that has permeated
Ore-cn districts to a large extent:
tlie assertion that one cannot make a
living on Oregon land. He declared
that he had not yet been to any place
where one could not make a good liv­
ing. He urged Oregonians, however,
to pattern to a larger degree in their
enthusiasm after Californians.
"If we. ’as Oregonians, will enthuse
over our assets as Californians do
over theirs.” said Mr. Cuthbert, "we
will forge ahead. And we can excel
over California: There Is not one
single tiling tbat grows in California
and that also can be grown here that
will not yield a higher quality of
pro^nqi In this state. And here in
Ort-mn let us not make fun of our
rain. Wp have loss than the rest of
tlie world thinks, hut it is golden rain.
California would like to
our rain.”
At the Lunch Club address Mr.
Cuthbert declared that Hood River
had Just started to cash in on her
scenic assets. He cited that Mount
Hood would be to this city what
Mount Rainier has been to Tacoma.
He cited how a material portion' of
the Portland chamber’s >300.000 fund
would go toward the exploitation of
the ColnmMa River highway and
Mount Hood, thus giving Hood River
the privilege of great benefits.
At the close of the Lunch Club
meeting Mr. Butler eulogized Mr.
Cuthbert.-declaring that he'Vraa one
of the best known advertising men in
the United States.
The school board of District No. g,
comprised of tbs city and surrounding
suburban area., hft» culled a
meeting of citizens at the high school
audltc-inm for next Monday night for
discussion of a proposal' that the
school district take charge of •nd
finance supervised recreation for ehil-
dreu of the community.
"The members of the board
carry out the wishes of the people of
the ciufonunfty in the matter/ said
Hupt. Cannon.
The following statement was pre­
ruled to the press by the school
board:
As published in your paper two
weeks ago the communication of the
general committee signed by Rev.
Lindley H. Miller, chairman; C. II.
Vaughan, Fred H. Bell, <). H. Caatner
and Alliert T. Case, was taken up by

lar meeting. As your reader* will re­

communication were the following

PLANS COMING ALONG
(he I. O. O. r. grand lodge here May
10 to 22 inclusive are beginning to
shape up nicely and the community la
commencing to realise what this wiU
mean to Hood River. The coqyen-
tion committee of Idlewilde lodge ex­
pects from 3,000 to 4,000 visitors here
during tbe four days, which means
(hat every citizen must cooperate with
the lodge to make the convention •
success.
Householders will be asked to open
their homes to the guests and each
one is asked to provide lodging for as
many aa he can. Any who desire to
furnish meals, preferably breakfasts,
may do so, but with (he hotels, res­
taurants and different organizations
furnishing meals down town the eat­
ing situation will not present such a
problem aa that of ’-■•-tng. It should
tie understood that the lodge ia not
asking for free accommislations for
anyone. The delegates wUl come pre­
pared and expecting to pay for their
meals and hslging. A maximum rate,
however, will be net so tbat there will
be no cause for complaint of over­
charging. such »as some cities have
lieen accused of during large conven­
tions.
Auto owners will tie asked to donate
use of their cars for the convenience
nnd pleasure of the visitors; for tak­
ing those who come by train from the
registration headquarters to their
lodgings upon arriving In town and
for short sight seeing trips. It is alss
plauned, provided enough cars are
available, to take the entire conven­
tion at one time for a trip up the Loop
highway as fnr as the forest bound­
ary. or possibly down Into tbe Bast
Fork canyon. If car owners cooperate
to make this a success it will be the
outstanding feature of the convention
and be of inestimable advertising
value to the entire valley.
<t ia estimated that the convention
will lente upwards of >30,000 in Hood
River which will surely mean some­
thing toward the prosperity of the
community. In addition to this the
beneficial results from an advertising
standpoint will be Incalculable.
As the citizens of Hood River are
becoming acquainted with the magni­
tude of this convention they are get­
ting whole-heartedly back of it. Hood
River has never yet fallen down on
any undertaking, tint as this la so
much bigger than anything under­
taken in the past It is up to everyone
td extend his fullest cooperation and
support.
The housing committee ia at work
now on a survey of the town to see
iiow many people we can accommo­
date. We know that you are all will­
ing to cooperate with Idlewilde Lodge
No. 107, I. O. O. F. If by accident
the committee should miss you please
call It. E. Steele and give him a list
of your rooms.
Are you still thinking about the
apple slogan? If so. keep it up. Look
for full particulars in next week’s
papers.
