TELLS OF ADVANTAGES
OF PRESIDENTS VISIT
(By Lewis B. Schwellenbach)

(By Lewis B. Schwellenbach)
The trip on President Roosevelt to
the State Of Washington was com
plete success from every point of
view. AS his hosts, know the people
of the state. regardless OF political
opinion, will be glad to know of the
Presidents qualification with the re-
ception he received. In every part of
the State he visited, the cordially OF
our people was demonstrated. 1t Is
well for people throughout the coun-
try to know that the citizens of the
State oil Washington did evidence this
enthusiastic response to the visit of
the President Of the United States.
From selfish point of view. the
President IS visit was most useful. lie
brought with him a train-load o
newspaper men representing the pr: 9
in every portion of the country. To
say that they were impressed by the
beauties of our scenery, the abun
dance of our resources and the OPP
portunities for development within
the State is to put it mildly. Many of
these men and women had never Wis
tied the State de Washington before.
In most instances, their impressions
were either vague or unfavorable. To
have them actually come here and see
what we have here will be of untold
benefit to the State. Millions of dol
lars spent in advertising would not
have produced the results obtained
from the visit.
The fact that the President spent
four days Within the State is, in itselr
a compliment to the State. I do not
stress the Importance of the effect of
the visit upon the President himself.
With the President, the visit merely
re-affirmed the conviction which he
has had for many years concerning
the State of Washington 1t was not
necessary for the President to come
here in order to find out about our
State. I never leave the President
without feeling Of amAzement at
| the detailed nature of his knowledge

The true source of petroleum had
been found. A new epoch in history
had begun.
The fantastic boom that followed
soon led to a violent conflict be-
tween oil-drilling farmers in West

transportation interests seeking to
wrest control of the industry from
them.
