Checking Stations To Be Re-Opened Record-Breaking Influx of Tourists Expected This Summer Anticipating a record-breaking influx of out-of-state visitors to California during the coming tourist season, Governor C. C. Young instructed Frank G. Snook, chief of the division of motor vehicles, to have all border checking stations re-opened May 1st. Governor Young is so pleased with the service given visiting motorists by these stations last year that he believes they should become a permanent feature of the division's work, serving in a measure to provide the state's official welcome to the visitors. "Let courtesy be your watchword." Such was Young's instruction to the motor vehicle authorities. Special emphasis was placed on the advertising value of giving out-of-state motorists a favorable first impression of California. "The real purpose of the border checking stations should not be to harass visitors with detail and 'red tape,' but rather to provide them with vital information about California's motoring laws," said Governor Young. The stations are located at Yunna, Daggett and Blythe in the south and Clam Beach, Dunsmuir, Donner Lake and Myers in the north. These points are located strategically with reference to out-of-state travel, being on the main arteries leading into the state. Snook announced that crews of at least three men each would be maintained at each of the stations during the tourist season. These men will be given special training in handling the tourist travel and giving the desirable information. Visitors permits will be issued at each station entitling the visitor to remain in the state six months without securing a California license. Maps of all department of public works, in a recent address at Riverside, discussed in detail the methods that are being employed to keep scenic highways of California from being marred. On lands privately owned, near highways the department endeavors to persuade owners to refuse to use their property or to lease it to be used for any purpose that would obstruct the scenery or mar the picturesque views. While California is pursuing this course vigorously, it must be said that the movement is just beginning here. Nevada, therefore, comes in for some audacious exploitation by the national bureau of public roads. A report from this bureau says that Nevada is the only state in the Union that enforces measures to preserve the scenic beauty of the roads from advertising signboards. This report indicates that Nevada grants no permits for the erection of any billboard, sign or other form of notice or any location which may measurably destroy the natural beauty of the scenery or obscure a view of the road ahead or of curves and grades to intersecting highways or railroads. It is unfair to the motoring public says this report from the national bureau of roids, that the very industries which depend upon the highways for their whole business should be the worst offenders in erecting and maintaining many disfiguring signs along streets and highways of the country. CALIFORNIA RAISINS Some of the drama back of the California raisin industry as it is today is given by J. M. Leslie, president of the Sunnold Raisin Growers' Association, in an article in the April issue of the Union Pacific Magazine, incidentally to the celebration of Raisein Week, April 22 to 27. Not long after the Civil War a California gettler named Thompson sent as far as a vineyard near Constantinople for cuttings from which to grow raisin grapes. Hat was the beginning of one of the popular kinds of California raisins—the Thompson seedless Daggett and Blythe in the south and Clam Beach, Dunsmuir, Donner Lake and Myers in the north. These points are located stragetically with reference to out-of-state travel, being on the main arteries leading into the state. Snook announced that crews at least three men each would be maintained at each of the stations during the tourist season. These men will be given special training in handling the tourist travel and giving the desirable information. Visitors permits will be issued at each station entitling the visitor to remain in the state six months without securing a California license. Maps of all roads in the state will be kept on hand to give the motorist road information service. No literature of any kind except official state bulletins will be distributed at the stations. Records of the division show 176,046 out-of-state cars were checked through the border stations during the tourist season last year. Of these, 81,785 came through the Yuma station, 55,452 came through the Daggett station, and 26,982 through the Dunsmuir station. BIG SCENIC ASSET California is beginning to safeguard its scenic beauties, to be seen and enjoyed by those who traverse the roadways of this state. The state department of public works is driving signboards, email refreshment stands and unsightly cabins or shacks back from the scenic highways, wherever it is possible to do so. The law adds in this in that it provides that all structures and signs may be forbidden on highway rights-of-way. B. B. Meek, chief of the state de- Some of the drama back of the California raisin industry as it is today given by J. M. Leslie, president of the Sunnold Raisin Growers' Association, in an article in the April issue of the Union Pacific Magazine, incidentally to the celebration of Raisin Week, April 22 to 27. Not long after the Civil War a California getter named Thompson sent as far as a vineyard near Constantinople for cuttings from which to grow raisin grapes. Hat was the beginning of one of the popular kinds of California raisins—the Thompson seedless—and it was one of the important beginnings of the entire industry in California. It was about a half century ago that the industry really got under way in this state and by the end of 1878 the crop amounted to about 500 tons. By 1892, Mr. Leslie writes, Spain, the old-world leader in raisin production, had been displaced and California growers supplied the world with more than 30,000 tons of raisins. And now 250,000 tons—500 million pounds—are produced and sold from California annually. This crop supplies 90 per cent of the raisins eaten by the American people annually. This great agricultural industry hold each year in Fresno on the last Saturday in April, a festival that has come to be recognized as one of the distinctive and outstanding pageants in America. All of the state of California joins in helping the raisin grow observe the Raisin Day festival, and the nation observes 'Raisin Week.' Man yof the cities of the state send colorful floats and uniformed marching codies for the parade, which is a feature of the festival.
