TOURISTS LIKE CAMPS
Travellers by Auto Have Warm Spot
IN Their Hearts for Towns Look
Ing After Their Welfare.

Motor tourists have a warm spot
In their hearts for every town and
city which maintains tourist camps.
according to Karl Pearce of Drum
right, who drove through Tulsa this
week with n fellow student OF A. K
N. college on his way home after
a summer vacation trip to Colorado.
Tourists, Pcarce found, go out OF
their way to visit cities having
camps, especially those rumored to
be exceptionally well equipped. They
remain longer in cities so equipped,
incidentally spending more money
as well as more time there. And they
are always careful to tell fellow
tourists about the Joys of the camps
in certain cities pearce declared
that tourists making use of the
camps are grateful for the privilege
though they have little opportunity to
express appreciation, and that the
city which affords them space for
parking their cars. camping out and
cooking is listed in their recollection
In the red letters customary to
pleasant remebrance.
The moral of Pearce's discourse, as
delivered at the Automobile club
garage. was to the effect that though
not a Tulsap. he would advise, speak
ing from personal experience, that
Tulsa establish a.suitable tourist
camp, as II would be beneficial TO
both city and its tourist traffic.

two years has been made in the
sawmRls In the Pacific Northwest
