THE VALUE OF CONCERTED ACTION

The Echo News, of esteemed contemores of Una
a county, in its last issue had lengthy editorial the value
of concerted action and took the Echo people task for slit
ing quietly by and allowing the cities of Pendeon Pilot Rock
and Heppner to walk away with the tourist travel which the
News maintains should go through Echo.
Says the News "The Blue Trail is much longer than the
Echo road but its boosters claim for it the advantage of be-
ing better road This statement has been so generally
circulaedy by interested parties that much travel
being diverted from the Echo route This is good iustra
ton of what be accomplished by concerted action Not
understanding the fact that reputable auto drivers who have
been both report the Blue Trail be much worse
than the Black Trail and many miles longer the commercial
organizations by working together have succeeded in sending
much travel that way
Whether the commercial bodies have been as untruthfu
in presenting the of the Blue Trail the travelling public
the News maintains is not for to say. We will say
however that since the last concerted and really the first
cered efforts of Pilot Rock and Heppner bring travel this
way the Blue Trail has been alive with tourists Some
praise the road and others condemn it. 1t appears to be
largely matter of opinion None of the roads good
they should be through Morrow County this time of year.
But started to say in the beginning results obtained
through exploiting the Blue Trail only show in feeble way
what be accomplished through concerted effort There
many things right here at home that of Importance
than the tourist travel Matters OF vital interest to
general citizenr Let profit by the things pointed out by
our Echo friends and go after Of the things that
neare to being absolute necessity for the future commercial
progress and prosperity Of Morrow County
