West Virginia has the finest all
the-round health resort in the North
at White Sulphur Springs" said Sena-
tor Elkins as he talked with friends
today Of his trip. But ! doubt very
much II the people OF the state gen.
orally stop to think much about 1t and
to fully and proudly appreciate all that
It means to the state. Its near loca-
ton to the big Eastern cities is great
advantage. 1t is easy to reach with
out long hours Of travel and is the big
gest and the best place to spend hu--
ried weekend for Eastern people that
l know Of. The state may be said to
be full Of springs and health-resorts
which, good roads would do more to
develop than anything l know OF.
West Virginia should build good roads
and make a bid for the automobile
tourist trade, thereby developing these
resorts, and everything else. With
good roads inviting motor tourists the
annual profit to the state and its peo-
pie in dollars would, ere long. be in
calculable. Whoever it was that de
scribed our state as 1.-THE Switzerland
of America" LETT nothing more to be
said. There is no scenery east Of the
Rocky Mountains to compare with that
which West Virginia offers. ! would
like to see dozen great highways
criss-crossing our state. I can thin!
of no better investment for our state
to make"
