AUTO BUNS" MEET
WITH HARD LUCK
Tourist Camp Association Fixes
Charge of Fifty Cents Nightly
for Use of Auto Parks

e5as of tourist, who lolled in comfort
at the expense of enterprising COM
munities during the summer months
as he piled his trade, sold his wares
or picked up odd jobs as they pre-
scented themselves, is going to have
harder Shedding in the future. It's
going to cost him so cents for every
: night he spends in an automobile
camp. and that so cents is going to
look mighty big to a lot of them.
Ono of the most drastic steps taken
by the delegates to the Pacific-Rocky
Mountain-Northwest Tourist Camp
conference in Spokane last Saturday
was the fixing of a fee of so cents
for each car each night, with limit
on the time any car is permitted to
remain in a park.
This action was aimed at the auto
bum" reports from the larger tour
list camps being that scores of these
tourists have cultivated the habit
of making use of the auto camps dur
ing the summer months and permit
ting the communities maintaining
the parks to provide fuel and other
necessities and comforts for them.
Pullman was represented at the
conference by Professor o. L. Waller,
and SO other delegates were in at
tendance from ali parts of the west.
A permanent organization was ef-
fected and rules for camps were es-
tablished, with view to standardiz-
inz the equipment and facilities as
nearly as possible.
Each community, it was decided,
shall become member of the con-
ference by payment of an annual S.
fee. Tourists will be charged so
cents for each car each day at the
camps. The necessary equipment of
the camps was determined.
The Spokane chamber of COM
merce will have executive direction
Of the conference for year, and will
cooperate with the Seattle organiza-
ton in carrying out it's policies, chief
OF which will be a regular bulletin
service by which members of the con-
ference will be advised of the pres
ence of "undesirables" in the region.
The report of the committee on
standardization of camps, presented
by Ronald f. Chapman of Seattle
committee secretary, outlined these
requirements, and was adopted by
the conference:
