Ashland, Ore, Monday, Dec. 4, 1916
TOURIST MONEY is NEW MONEY

A project which will have strong
support when it appears before the
legislature next January, is the re-
quest of the North Pacific Coast
Tourist Association for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 per annum for two
years. The money is to be used in
securing fair amount of tourist
travel for tho northwest.
In gambling terms, the project con-
templates betting $4,000 against
the possibility of securing $5,00O,OOO
or $1O,OOO,OOO.
To a gambler that would appear to
be a good bet if he lost.
Colorado and California are bet
ting larger amounts each year and
are winning right along. These facts
encourage the belief that Oregon can
interest tourist travel if she goes af-
ter it in the right way.
The riGht way seems to be well in
dieated by the methods used by Cali
fornia and Colorado. Both maintain
eastern offices where bright repre-
sentatives are located to hunt up the
travelling public. Advertisements di-
rect inquirers to their eastern offices,
while affiliations are maintained
with all travel bureaus and railroad
agencies. The literature they dis
tribute concerns the entire state Of
Colorado or California, as the case
may be.
Oregon has heretofore relied on
community effort for advertising.
Each community has gotten out its
own booklet, but has never had any
organization for distributing it, or
for reaching the travelling public.
The North Pacific Coast Tourist
Association is to advertise all north
west attractions as one tour, and all
advertising booklets will cover the
high lights of Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia It will have
eastern offices and first class repre-
sentatives.
Under this system it seems reason
able for the Oregon promoters of the
association to claim that they will be
able TO bring 1OO,OO visitors to Ore
gon.
The assertion that each visitor will
spend at least $50 is admitted. That
means 100000 new dollars in Ore
gon. If 100000 persons spend 500
each, it means $1O,OOO,OOO Of new
money.
That means that tourist travel,
even In the modest amounts Of num-
Der and revenue first cited above,
would be worth more to the state
than the total apple crop; more than
the prune and the grape crop com
bined; almost as much as the value
Of the salmon caught in the rivers.
There is no reason why Oregon
should not be as successful in reach
ing the tourist as was Colorado. In
that case the value of the tourist crop
would be more than is brought to the
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-12-04
OUTDOOR ASSETS.

Eugene Register: in his address
at the Chamber of Commerce day be-
fore yesterday, William L. Finley ut
tered some truths about Oregon's
outdoor resources that are not as
generally understood as they should
be. For example, he explained that
the enforcement Of the game laws
ought to be made a matter of busi'
ness development rather than of po-
lice power. The more game there
is in Oregon's woods and the more
fish there are in Oregons streams
the more sportsmen will be attracted
here year after year, and sportsmen
spend much money in the localities
they visit. Thus the man who helps
in the enforcement of the game laws
is merely doing his share toward
making business better in the state.
Maine in the east and Colorado in
the west have long understood this
fact and profited by it. Mr.. Finley
asserted that sportsmen spend $780,
100000 a year in Maine, and it is
probable that these figures are un-
der the actual amount rather than
over it. For years Colorado has
profited by a reputation for abund-
ant game, and this reputation is jeal-
ously guarded. Yet neither Maine
nor Colorado approaches Oregon as a
hunters and fishermans paradise.
The man who is accustomed to fish
ing in Oregon streams would hardly
feel that Colorado or Maine fishing
was worth his time.
The same principles hold good in
relation to Oregon scenic assets. AS
stock in trade to lay before the men
and women of less favored states
who are seeking a place for de-
lightful outing, they are extremely
valuable The Mckenzie and Will
lamette rivers alone are assets that
in the coming years will bring good
returns to this part of Oregon, A
considerable part of the wealth of
the United States is concentrated in
the flat and comparatively uninter-
esting middle west, and as the years
go by more and more of the people Of
the great interior country will visit
Oregon in order to enjoy its beau
ties.
No comprehensive scheme Of Ore
CONS development can overlook the
states outdoor resources. The tour
list and the sportsman are good
spenders while they are here, and in
the majority of cases they are men
of the type that Oregon is anxious to
interest. Our resources have hardly
been touched as yet, and we need to
interest men who will help us de-
velop them. It makes little differ
ence how such men are brought to
the state, providing they can be I'M
terested in the business possibilities
that are offered here, and it is prob
ably easier to bring them in as tour
lists or sportsmen in the first place
than in any other way.

Heard and Overheard
(By Lynn ID. Mowat)

Writing poetry is pretty much like
being magician, to our way OF
thinking, after six weeks close OBJ
servation. If you are not good
enough TO get by as a first-class ma
giciah, you can still hold down time
on the big circuit by billing your act
as an exposure of the tricks of the
greatest magicians of all time"
Hence in order to qualify as an ex-
posurer we will build a poem before
your every eyes without any attempt
to deceive. You will notice that both
our sleeves are rolled up so that
there is no opportunity to slip any
thing either up or down them. Here
goes:
My eyes are blurred with scalding
tears,
(Now, OF course you understand
that they are not really blurred, but
one has to use a little Imagination.
Besides, if tears were scalding some
women would be in hot water all of
the time"
My mind oppressed with sorrow;
That's another small deceit, but
permissible under either poets or
peddler's license. Some would spell
oppressed "opprest," but since Teddy
jumped the ticket we are agin' sim
plified spelling,)
Ny heart is full of grewsome fears,
1T took us a long time to figure
out the meter of that line. That's
the reason the French have it all
over us as poets-they teach them
the metrical system in the schools.)
| may feel worse tomorrow.
(There really isn't a lot of sense
to this last line, although it may
turn out to be true, but you see we
had to find some word to rhyme with
sorrow, and nothing that we can
think of would do except morrow and
borrow, and of course it would be
to see anyone to borrow
from if ones eyes were blurred with
scalding tears)
See, there is nothing to it.
The management has asked us to
announce that the Ladies' Aid will
put on Uncle Tom Scabbin" tomor-
row night for the benefit of the piano
fund, and that two weeks from next
there will be a motion pic
