Aware of this fa0t, virtually every section of the United States each year spends thousands of dollars devel- oping and advertising its own particular attractions. Klickitat county, and for that matter this entire Mid-Colum- bia area, is fortunate in having a tourist attraction of the magni- tude of MaryhiU Museum. Though this privately owned institu- tion was first opened ire the public 'less than a month ago its effect on tourist trade in this area has been tremendous. During the Museum's first three weeks of operation nearly 11,000 people came to view its exhibits. A great majority of these visitors were people from outside Klickita county and many of them were from outside the state of Washington. Naturally the Museum isn't the only beneficiary from this tourist trade. Every garage, service station, auto camp, hotel, confectionary and restaurant along the line shares directly in the dollars spent by these thousands of tourists now passing through this county. Indireatly the money left by this ever growing caravan is divided even further. Stores, markets, creameries, bakeries, dairies and ultimately the local farmers who supply much of the food sold to the tourists all sharing and will continue to share in the profits of the 1940 tourist crop. Widely known even before it was opened May 13, the Mary- hi}l Museum has been publicized n tionally through newspapers and magazines. The Washington State Progress Commission is now featuring the Museum in its national campaign to bring tour- ism to this state. Residents of Klickitat county should take ad- vantage of national advertising campaign and cooperate with it. A tourist trade, like any other crop, can be made to pay larger and more lasting profits if cultivated properly. O Let's "Keep Washington Green" THE "KEEP WASHINGTON Green" campaign started this month by Governor Martin merits more than mere lip service by the people of this Utate. ' The fire season is now at hand. In Klick- itat county and elsewhere in th'm Pacific Northwest country sev- eral minor forest fires have been reported. Forests provide 60 per cent of Washington's industrial pay- roll. In addition 30 per cent of the people of this st e earn their entire livelihood from forest industries. A great percentage of this state's revenue for support of its schools, highways, social security program and other governmental functions come directly from the forests of Washington. Every resident of Washington must share his individual por- tion of the responsibility if the G(ivernor's campaign is to be suc- cessful. One carelessly tossed match or cigarette can nullify the efforts of hundreds of conscientious citizens and destroy thousands of dollars worth of forest resources. As a good citizen of KlickRat county and the state of Wash- ington do your part in this campaign to "Keep Washington Green." O PraiseFor The State Grange WITH POLITICIANS ON every hand trying to ride into of- rice war psychology it is reassuring to know that one stable, sensible organization--the Washington State Grange--has not been stampeded into believing the United States should foot the bill for another European crusade. America today has great need for organizations like the Wash- ington Grange. This county cannot afford to rush headlong into another costly European war merely because we are swayed by understandable sympathy for Frane and England. Our 1917-18 adventure has cost us $57,000,000,000 to date, not to mention the human loss. " Whenever people plunge into the economically unproductive ac tivity of organized destruction that is war, everyone loses, ev- entually and forever. Contrary to the couragous words of many of our campaigning sta tesmen, the easiest way we Americans can lose democracy at home is by fighting far itabroad. O Street Improvements Are Appreciated BECAUSE A LITTLE oil can keep down a lot of dust dozens of C ldendale ho,asewive this week are saying some nice things about the city councilmen who authorized the surface treatment of more than u mile and one, half of graveled streets. The cost of this oiling project was slight in comparison to the benefits involved. Mbney for the program accrued to the city from the Washington state highway department. The oiling work was done with state highway depa ment equipment operated by a highway departmer t crew. Streets oiled in this project will be safer, wiIt last longer, and will be far cleaner than they formerly were. Because of Golden- dale's unusually high percentage of Impulation gain recorded in the current census this city in the fature should receive a considerable increase in ffas tax money from the state, or without this additional money, however, Goldendale shotfld be able to add to its improved street system each year.

The intending settler passing by Hood River would never suspect that back of our pretty little town is one of the nicest and most productive valleys in the Btats. ~leither would he suspect that the country tributary to the town w~ of extended area, clime,te are similar to ours and it has like us a future as a summer resort. Trout Lake and its tributaries sit- uated about thirty miles from its mouth, furnishes the very best of trout ~ishng, and the numerous set- tlements are the best evidence of the productiveness of the soil. Its straw- berries, like ours •stand shipment, and its fruits cannot be excelled. The Jewett nurseries are situe~ted near its mouth, and the trees from it have a reputation unexcelled anywhere.- Hood River Glacier.
