SAN DIEGO. Jan. 2S.--This was the
final set day of entertainment arranged
by San Diegans for the delegation of
100 Oregonians. 1t marked the end
of three pleasant days filled with cor
diality and hospitality on the part of
the San Diego chamber of commerce
and appreciative recognition by the
visitors from the sister state.
Most of the visitors went to Los
Angeles tonight.
The bay and the beach has made
lasting impression on the visitors.
Their eyes are continually turned that
way as are their thoughts. The charm
of San Diego lies there, aside from
its equable climate. and aside from at
tending divine services the delegation
devoted most of its time to the ocean
attractions.
In parties they wandered up and
down Coronado beach, rode leisurely in
poats, fished, chatted and whiled away
the hours
The Oragonians have found much
in Southern California to admire.
They Learn Lessons
"Old ocean and the attractions of
the sea appeal to mo most strongly"
remarked II. Claussenius, jr., Port
land plumber, with the party. Your
California beaches are a vast fortune
in themselves, because they afford un-
limited pleasure to the tourist. They
have every facility for enjoyment that
man and capital can supply. Those
features lure visitors here and make
the fame of the golden state world
wide.
"Up in Oregon we have splendid
beaches, but many of them need to
he developed, built up end advertised.
That is one of the problems for the
Oregon Development league to study"
"You Californians have made a study
of the fine art of enjoying oneself"
remarked Hal Patton, leading states
man of Salem, Oregon, whose family
homestead is being sought by the state
as a permanent executive mansion.
"a man who let's monotony bother him
in this state must be a freak. You
have amusements for young and old,
grave and gay, cultured and uncul-
tured, sports and educators. There
isn't any desire of mankind, apparent
ly, that cannot be appeased on this
coast.
Read Human Nature
'T suppose this is an outgrowth of
the tourist business and the many and
varied ideas brought here by visitors
from all over the country and Of the
world.
"You shrewd men and women have
anticipated the wishes of the travellers
and have anchored many as permanent
residents.
1--WE of Oregon have delightful
country with much to see and to amuse
and now that we see the game we will
try to emulate you Californians And
in the future we will show you the
art of having a good time from our
standpoint"
A N. Moores, another Salem dele
gate, says the souvenir postal card
craze and the newspapers have done
much to spread the fame Of California
and he proposes to advocate more of
that sort of publicity.
The efforts of Philip Stein, an Ore
gon promoter who divides his time
between Portland, San Diego and Los
Angeles, and Clyde Warf1eld, a Los
Angeles ticket and tourist agent, had
much to do with organizing the party
of ITO that left Los Angeles for San
Diego and they were given a vote of
thanks.
To La Jolla Caves
Most of the party today went to see
The train left at 9:10 a. M. a special
reduced rate being made with stopover
privileges. At La Jolla the visitors
were guests of a club.
Seventy of the party participated in
the trip Saturday to Tia Juana, on the
Mexican border. They went by train,
returning at noon to National City,
where a special train later called to
convey them to the Sweetwater dam.
The Oregonian yell was one of the
farewell features of the stay, Messrs.
r. S. Farrell of Portland and Hal Pat
ton of Salem proposing it. Mr.. Pat
ton also made an impromptu speech,
thanking the chamber of commerce, the
San Diego Street railway and the
owners of launches for courtesies.
