In the near future. the tourists camp
reserve provision. Instituted Hast year
to encourage tourist traffic through
the upper peninsula, is beginning to
take definite form
Realizing the inadequacy OF Clover
lands hotels to accommodate any
greaf increase In the tourist traffic.
ehe camp reserve project was sug-
ykested In the tourist trafic, the camp
reserve project was suggested early
last year, not only as solution to
the accommodation problem, but as
an additional attraction for tourists

throughout the several counties OF up
per Michigan, the plan will provide
one or more camp reserves In every
county, where tourists. enroute from

Delta county has set aside Luding-
ton Park. near Escanaba. as suit
able place for such a reserve. The
park. owned by the city OF Escanaba
rs ftted with flowing water, electric
lights, bath house, band stand, ten
mis- court and children's playground
AN ideal spot for the purpose. Situat-
sed near Little Bay De Noe the site al
so offers excellent opportunity for
fishing, swimming and boating.
With several possible sites under
consideration Marquette county has
mot, as yet, definitely decided upon
any one. although the bathing beach
at Champion, declared to be one OF
the best In the peninsula, is looked
upon favorably.
A meeting OF the county committee
appointed to act In the matter has
been called for the near future by w.
j. Wiseman, OF Marquette, chairman
and It Is expected definite action will
result. Several other suitable sites
are up for consideration.
The advantages OF this provision IS
clearly seen Not only will II serve
to tide the various cities over this
critical period when hotel construc-
tion, at the present price Of materials,
is temporarily curtailed, but It will
also serve to drive home to the visit
ing tourist the beauty of the country
and the interest and cooperation
which the people are showing in en-
couraging tourist traffic.
The tourists camp serve project
Is being carried out in conjunction
with several other interesting fea-
tures relative 10 the anticipated in
flux Of tourists this year
Garage owners and automobile deal
oras are cooperating, through the
medium Of the Nationla Automobile
Dealers Association, to render bet
ter and more efficient service. Golf

tically every prominent city in Glow

the visitors. Extensive road repair
and construction programs, made
possible by the success of the bond
ing issue In the recent elections. are
in progress in practically every coun-
ty. and various other features are
being worked.
"All roads lead to CloVerland" ia
the slogan, and nothing is being left
undone not only to encourage tourists

ditlons, generally, so inviting as to
induce greater development and to
!, invite new settlers from outside
