LETTER NO. 2.
All over Oregon this week, people of our Hlate aro writing to friends
ami acquaintances in the East, in.tho attempt to establish a friendly feel
ing for our section, ns a mighty finq pluce iu which to spend this year's
summer holidays. It occurred to mo in this connection, that you might
look with favor on coming out this way for your vacation, if I took the
liberty of calling It to your attention.
Oregon will take great pleasure in seeing you, ami I feci sure you will
take great pleasure in seeing Oregon. The summer months, which ore the
dog-dnys elsewhere in the universe, are the glory days with us.
It la curious to my mind that the traveler, touring for pleasure, so sel
dom comes to Oregon. The state hns many attractions in the way of fine
scenery, and the sports of road, field and stream.
Many easterners who pnsscil through on. the way from the Fair last year,
expressed surprise and pleasure at w hat they found here, ami urged us to
make Oregon more generally known as a Mecca for holiday seekers.
Won't you romo out and look us overt Plouse ask me for additional
information. .
Yours truly,

stronger, . -Out
where the smile dwells a littltf
longer,
That' where the West begins.
Out where the sun's a little brighter,
Where the anew that falls is a tnl'lo
winter,
Where the bonds of homo are a wee bit
tighter,
That's where the West begins.

LETTER NO. 1.
Dear 1
Almost every year, iu obedience to the wholesome law which imperi
ously demands n change for tired mind and body, you go snmewhero to re
lax, 'do you notl May I take tho liberty f suggesting Ontgon, for this
yearf
1 am going to ay nothing of Oregon's "unexcelled climate" or "unex
ampled scenic, beauties," because I know you would rccogui.e that sort f
talk as "press sgent" "stone-ago stuff." But Oregon would be really
new to you, and there are many things hero of more than usual attraction.
We believe wo have ono of the finest motor rides in tho uouutiy in the fa
mous Columbia ltiver Highway, for Instance.
And eertnlnly Crater I.ako a curious sheet of water lifted high In the
Cascades, In the mouth of an extinct volcano Is one-of the world's won
ders. The federal government In recognition of this has designated the snr
' rounding region as a national pnrk. And these aro but example of a long
list with which I might furnish you.
Plenso do not dismiss the matter hastily; but ask us for additional In
formation even if you think the chance.' of your coming to Oregon this
year is remote. Oregon seeks to make known it various rliarms, as we
bregoninns believe that the traveler, out fur relaxation and recreation,
will lenrn to love her as we do.

Dear 1
In easting about in your mind for a new place In which to spend the
summer vacation period, I wonder if you ever thought of Oregon. Probably
not, a Oregon ha never boosted herself into public notice in this regard.
May I not suggest Oregon for thl yoart
Almost anything iu the way of entertainment your taste suggests can
be satisfied in Oregon. Mountains or seashore, motoring or boating, rod or
gun, scenery or sport, climate or freedom from insect pests Oregon baa all
the facilities.
Then ngnin It would all be new tj you, Oregon is decidedly "differ
ent." The Oolden West doe not take it name solely from tho shiny metal
dug from tho carta. The West is golden in quite another manner tho gold
of good fooling, and the gold of feeling good.

We are just awakening in Oregon
to the fact that aside from our wonder
fully agreeable summer climate which
is neither too hot nor too cold, t lint
we nlsn hnve right at our doors the most
wonderful scenery in nil the world. The
Columbia trip from Tho Dalles to As

can you match it f The new Columbia
river highway up nnd down tho river
from Portlund now finished nnd to be
dedicated next summer, is declared by
many travelers to be unmatched any
