PAVED TO THE PASS
BY WIDDLE OF AUGUST

According to District Engineer
Hodgeman, the gan in the Pacific
highway paving near the county
line will be closed by August Ii
and Ashland car owners will be
able to "slip her into high" and
skim over the pavement all the
way to Grants Pass. The Inter
urban Autocar company is put.
ting on service straight through
to Grants Pass with four round
trips daily from Medford.
incidentally, Ashland fishermen
who have been blaming their i'll
luck on the Ament dam will have
a chance to get down below the
dam without risking tires or de-
tours.

TELL THE WORLD ABOUT
SOUTHERN OREGON.

Southern Oregon can learn val
uable lessons from this years ac-
tivity OF the Pacific Northwest
Touring association. This great
association covering in its terri
tory the Pacific northwest of the
United States and British Colum-
bia in Canada, has during 1920
carried out successfully an adyer-
tising campaign in which the
whole field was impartially in
cluded. There was no hint of
favoritism to any section, there
was no taint of "tOadying" to fl
nancially powerful or populous
districts to the disadvantage Of
weaker neighbors. The reason is
simple, in the fact that nowhere
is the many different pamphlets
published and distributed was
there a mention of locality. All
advertising was general, but the
way was opened for more detailed
facts if the first interest prompt
ed it.
For years live business men Of
Southern Oregon have realized
that our chief need is some form
of concerted action by which the
attractions of the district, scenic
as well as practical, can be plac-
ed before the rest CT the country.
Several attempts have been start
ed, but petty jealousies of local
ity have stood in the way of sue
cess each time, and to date no
such plan has been put into eff
feet. Each community has been
LETT to its futile uu-aided efforts
which have been effectually null
lifted by the Jealous determine
tion of the neighbor that the 9TH
er shall not succeed.
1t is now suggested that il the
policy followed in previous at
tempts to advertise Southern Ore
gon is not workable for the rea-
sons made apparent, the way can
be cleared by forgetting locality
altogether in the course Of gen.
oral advertising. Let there be no
mention of any town or city in
Southern Oregon, but settle on the
plan OF the Pacific Northwest
Touring association and advertise
what there Is here, whether al
falfa fields or snow-capped noun
tains, whether lakes or caves
whether hunting or fishing. Then
If the first audience is interested
let him look on his map and pick
out a town and write there for
further particulars, or let him
come here and survey tho whole
field.
California has demonstrated the
value of development of constant
and big advertising. The Pacific
Northwest Touring association has
shown us the way we can do it.
Now let's quit being kids with our
exclusive cellar doors TO the at
fractions of Southern Oregon, and
get down TO the business methods
our age demands.--Grants Pass
Courier.
