Letter WRITING IS
ORDER NEXT WEEK
Thousands viii Be Addressed
To People In Many
Other States

Everybody is writing them, writing
them, and now it is up to the good citi-
zens of Salem to write them. The great
letter writing week in Oregon will be.
gin next Monday, when it is con
fidently expected that thousands of
letters will be written by business men,
school children, professional men, mem
bers of women IS clubs, and in fact
everybody who can scrape up an
acquaintance or remember any one liv.
ing back east.
The idea is to interest the eastern
folks in Oregon and to especially in
duce them to come this way when do
ing their travelling. incidentally, the
object of letter writing week is to bring
tourist to the state in order that they
may later spread the good news of Ore
gon, and while here, distribute good
ly amount of American dollars.
Recognizing the fact that many are
willing TO write, but cannot express
their ideas, the Salem Commercial club,
as well as the Portland chamber of
Commerce has prepared a series of
letters from which one may take their
choice.
Here is one to a business acquaint-
ance:
"When making plans for your vaca-
tion next summer, why not consider
Oregonl Things have changed consid.
erably within the last few years, and
what you have read in the newspapers
about the scenic wonders of the state,
really tell half the story.
"Of course you have heard of the
Columbia highway, which travellers say
compares favorably with the famous
highways of France. 1t is well worth
a few days stop in Portland to take
this ride, and get an idea what the
road builders are really doing out west.
You know the best engineers in the
world were called in consultation be.
fore the Columbia Highway was built.
"An auto trip around Mount Hood
is also one of the side trips for Port
land and all along the way you will
find first class inns for your comfort.
If you are ambitious to do sme climb
ing, you will have no trouble in form
ing party to climb Mount Hood.
"Salem as You know is in the center
OF the Willamette Valley, the garden
spot of the Northwest. DIR. Hills said
TINS valley should support 100000
people. There are not quite that many
here now, but we do feel that with
this wonderful valley, with the noun
tains on both sides, we can offer You
several auto rides that will show you
more really beautiful scenery than can
be found any where on the coast.
Then right near us is Crater Lake
and Mount jefferson, and a days auto
ride brings you TO the Pacific ocean.
Right on top of all this, we have
the finest summer climate on earth"
Here is a letter that might be ad-
dressed to friend:
"If you are planning your vacation
for next summer, come out this way.
We have the finest summer climate in
the world. The days are clear and
bright in July and August and the
nights always cool.
"Beginning with Portland, week or
two can be spent in the Willamette val
ley. While at Portland, you have the

The Morocco Six. "Whirlwinds OF

and pyramid builders that have ever
entertained in the circus arena or on

Pantages circuit and will positively ap-
pear as headline feature of the show

tumbling Toms. daredevil sons OF the

sions which are astonishing.
Leroy and st. Claire. "The Long

e6y IN an amusing way. Verna Le-
Roy is four feet. four inches tall and
Arthur ST. Claire is six feet even. The
contrast in sizes leads to the billing.
Miss Leroy Is petite and charming,
singing and dancing cleverly. Mr.. st.
Claire Is an elongated comedian who
is we'll liked whether at song. talk or

she renders anna Annheiser" in a
