THESE TOURISTS

THESE TOURISTS
It would be q very fine thing Il
all those who hold to the notion
that the tourist industry is of nc
great value to a state, could read 8
Seven-page letter which came to the
State Progress Commission this
week in reply to a QUESTIONABLE sent
to all those who asked for Wash
ington information this year.
This lady from Iowa described
her trip through Washington in a
most interesting manner and cash
registers were ringing all the way.
Her family came in through Spo-
kane and they bought q lot Of
clothing to replace things stolen in
Yellowstone. At Grand Coulee they
bought more things and are COM
ing back when the dam is COM
pleted- she named dozen cities in
Washington where they stopped
from a day to a week, including
Chehalis. and in each place she
mentions purchases that were made.
These purchases included Just
about everything any normal fam
lily would buy and in this case even
q doctor got some Of the tourist
money. This family was In Wash
ington for about six weeks and they
rang cash registers from one end Of
the state to the other.
Multiply this by 794,560 and It is
not difficult to get at some notion
OF what the tourist business does in
the way Of ringing cash registers in
Washington. And, 1t should be borne
In mind that there are q lot Of
echoes from these first jingles from
our visitors.
A vast amount Of employment re-
suits from this business, taxes are
paid, wages paid, goods purchased
and so on through the entire ga
NUT Of bushes through the circu-
lation Of dollars.
Last year the tourist business
dropped more than SIS, zoo, 900 into
Washington cash registers and
those dollars turned over q good
many times in rolling around the
state. Is one way or another, we
venture the assertion that every
cash register In Washington rang
at least once because Of them.
It might be well to realize that the

Business Outlook
For Third Quarter
Is Considered Bright
Some Leaders Predict
industrial Activity
To Gain IS Pet. Over 1888
- the Associated Press.

~ tne AsSOCldteu rreSS
NEW YORK, July 5.-Rising
business trends in the United States
during the next three months, bar
ring a European war, were forecast
in Wall Street circles.
Some trend watchers predicted in
dustrial activity for the third quarter
might average as much as Is per
cent higher than in the like period
last year.
Moreover, it was the view of many
that September would witness rise
in business of about 5 per cent over
that seen last month. or around the
fastest of the current year.
The Associated Press index of in
dustrial activity, with 1929-30 as
100, has been edging upward for
seven week and stands at 886 COM
pared with 679 at this time in l938
High Point in January.
The high point hit by the index
thus far this year was $40 in the
opening week of January. There
after activity slid off in a gradual
decline until 1899 low of 81.8 was
recorded in the first week of May.
Then, the following week, the index
started upward in the series of ad-
vanceS that boosted the measure to
Its current level.
Had it not been for disturbing DO
lltical news from Europe the jan
uary-May tapering might have been
much less, some observers insist.
Clouding the early 1889 months were
events leading to absorption by Ger
many of Bohemia and Moravia,
which unsettled business confidence
and discouraged forward buying.
Today new European crisis is
clouding the outlook-the German
clamor for the Free City of Danzig
and a highway across the Polish
Corridor. With Great Britain and
France stiffening defenses and in
slstlng the totalitarian powers must
shelve aspirations to acquire by
force or threat new territory at the
expense of smaller European coun-
tries, the question bothering Amer
lean businessmen is whether the
dif1erences abroad will be adjusted
without war.
Home Outlook Bright.
The home industrial outlook is
regarded as bright. Machine tool
makers are turning out dies for
1910 automobile models, which may
be shown to the public late this
month or early next and start roll
ing down factory assembly lines
shortly thereafter.
Retail trade is holding up we'll
despite cautious wholesale buying.
Dollar volume of department store
sales Is topping last year. Food
sales currently are equaling or
slightly exceeding the like days of
1898.
In luxury lines, piano prices have
been lifted. The fur industry Is
anticipating a q per cent rise in
autumn sales.
Electric power output. now STEP
ping along l3 per cent above a year
ago. is gaining impetus from ex-
panded industrial takings and the
stringing of new rural wires in the
West and South. Steel mills prior
to this holiday interrupted week
were operating at 543 per cent of
capacity, contrasted with 28.7 per
cent year ago. A sharp rebound
is predicted for next week. Railway
freight loadings in the latest re-
ported period touched a new 1899
high, and ran IS per cent above
1898.
