MANY TOURISTS

THESE DAYS

The annual spring trek of eastern
tourists has begun in earnest, accord
ing to filling station proprietors. The
last three days showed an increase in
ears stopping here to refuel. The
hotels report unusual large numbers
of families from out of the state on
their way to the coast.
The coast to coast mixers, in full
regalia also are becoming more APP
parent each day. This morning no
less than five were noticed on their
way out of the city with packs on
back, khaki clad and booted.
AS is usual each spring the deco
rated flivver is with us. And the

'Tis said, by the mixers, that
grabbing a ride is becoming more
difficult each year. 1t used to be
that all one had to do was to sit
by the roadside and look tired. \

the long road to the Pacific would
thus be travelled easily and COM
