•’RIDAY, MAY 12, MIS. GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL HIGHWAY IS SECURED OY ACTIVITY OF CODY CLUB PRESIDENT HOLM’S Back of every enterprise is a man who sees visions and dreams dreams. The George Washington Transcon tinental highway was planned to run from Savannah, Georgia, to Seattle, Washington via. the Black Hills and Miles City, leaving Cody out of the route entirely. By mere chance the publicity reached Gus Holm's who at once got in touch with the organization which is associated with him in promoting the Black and Yellow trail and finally was able to get Mr. Duffy of Buffalo BUFFALO COMMERCIAL CLUB, Buffalo, Wyoming. April 28th, 1916. Dear Mr. Holm's: I have just received a letter from Mr. Duffy in which he has out lined the results of the meeting at Omaha on the 24th. It seems that there was no intention on the part of those promoting this proposed highway of extending an invitation to Buffalo to attend this meeting, or be represented there. Mr. Duffy states that through his credentials from Cody only was he able to secure a seat in this convention, and that there was no other Wyoming delegate present. However, he writes that he was able to Becure representation for Buffalo in connection with his representing Cody, and that the George Washington Transconti nental Highway will pass through Buffalo and Cody. The Nebraska people had a scheme to keep the line entirely out of the Dakota region and put it into the Miles City territory, but that was unsuccessful and the road will follow the Black and Yellow trail practically the same as it was originally mapped out. This highway was organized and incorporated in the sum of ?5,000.00. Vice presidents were elected representing each state traversed ly’ t he highway. Mr. Duffy was elected vice president for Wyoming. It is now necessary for the towns of Cody, Buffalo, Gillette and Sundance to get together and hold a meeting at which ways and means must be decided upon to pot the highway in good condition so that it will be acceptable to the Executive Board when they make their initial trip over the route some time in July. Just as soon as Mr. Duffy returns from the east where he went on business, which will be about the first of the month, we will write you further in regard to the matter. \ Yours very truly, JOHN C. FLINT President. Wyoming to Play a Part in the National Program Industrial Preparedness During the past year, under the influence of the engineering aspects of the present world war and at the suggestion of prominent statesmen of the country regardless of political alliance, a movement surrounding the governmental departments of the ar my and navy has resulted in the for mation of an advisory body entitled: 'The Naval Consulting Board of the United States,” of which Thomas A. Edison is the chairman. This body is composed of the most eminent en gineers of the country and among its services already performed it has for mulated and presented to the govern mi it an elaborate scheme of organ i.iing into a systematic fairic all the industries and natural resources of the- country need in lime of defensive war. This scheme is known as •The Organization tor Industrial I'm paredness.” Heifers and Cows For Sale tJWe have on our ranches 5000 head of cows and heifers for sale in any number, from one carload up.

NEWTON, Mgr. to attend the meting at Omaha last month. He furnished the gentleman with the necessary credentials to represent Wyoming and as a result of his ac tivity the road leaves the Black Hills and takes up the route of the Black and Yellow trail and goes thru the Yellowstone park via. Cody. The story is best told in a letter from John C. Flint, president of the Buffalo Commercial club addressed to Mr. Holm’*- In carrying out this proposal a let ter was sent by President Woodrow Wilson to the president of the Amer ican enginering societies, asking that they name a board of directors in each state. Complying with this request of the president, the engineering societies which represent thirty thousand members, named the following as the Wyoming board of directors for in dustrial preparedness and associate members of the naval consulting t-oard of the United States: Chairman, P. N . Nunn, Casper; secretary, N. D. Waltman, Casper; treasurer, P.. B. Moudy, Laramie; pres manager, Edward Gillette, Sher idan; field manager, E. G. Iloefer, Laramie. F. ;• .! * frst time in the history of tiii ■ c cn.ineers have been | c-d! j■: a ! to its aid. Their NORTHERN WYOMING HERALD services are needed by the govern ment in the performance of a most important patriotic .work. They have been asked to aid in the laying of the foundation of our structure for. national defense. Upon every one of them there rests a personal responsibility. The country needs their services, the president has ask ed for it, and the governing bodies of the engineering societies have con fidently pledged it. Brief outline of plan for invento ry of industrial resources available for the support of the army and na vy of the United States: The organization under each state board of a corps of field aids selected from the combined membership of the five technical societies within that state. The issuance by the naval consult ing board to each state board of com plete information as to the work in hand, the objects to be attained, sug gested methods of procedure, lists of members within the state of the five technical societies and all available data as to the resources of the state. Examination by the state board of their teritory with reference to the number and geographical distri bution of industries with relation to the field aids available for the in ventory. Issuance by the state boards to the field aides of instructions and blank forms as supplied by the nav al consulting board. Examination and checking by the state boards of all completed field reports. Following up men to see that reports are sent in properly. Checking reports and supplying any data lacking before sending them to consulting board. The continuance of the organiza tion thus formed in order to insure to the government the backing of the full industrial strength of the coun try and to secure for the largest practical number of industrial con cerns such an fflnount of government business as will keep them in touch with the requirements of the army and navy. In order to obtain the necessary co operation of manufacturers and the public in general, there will be re leased in due season for country wide distribution a statement giving an outline of the entire movement..

FINISHES HIGH SCHOOL Harold Larson, at one time a stu dent in the Cody schools and employ ed as a deliveryman for the Newton Company, was graduated from the high school of Wausa, Nebraska, yes terday. Invitations wree received in Cody by a number of his friends. Chancellor Avery of the University of Nebraska made the commencement address. PROPOSE NEW GATEWAY Red Lodge is the latest aspirant for a gateway into Yellowstone park. Their route will lead up Rock creek canyon, said to be very picturesque and altogether interesting, and con necting with the Sheridan trail on the top of Beartooth mountain which runs to Cooke City. The entire distance would have to be traveled by a pack train as an automobile would be out of the question. This handicap alone will prevent a great amount of busi ness going the Red Lodge way with the keen competition the scenic road Cody has to offer and the connecting good roads into Billings The time will likely copie when the forest service will open the Red Lodge trail with an automobile highway which would give a well pat ronized circuit which would enable autoists to enter one way and come out the other.

You will want such a complete change of environment as will drive out every thought of work, and free your system from the torpor of monotony. Glacier Park will give you such a deep, high and wide picture of nature’s magnificence as to calm your mind, worn with petty worries. Glacier is the indescribable climax of the grandeur of the Rockies. Here you penetrate into localities of hidden mountain lakes and into the depth of forests; you reach mysterious sources of cascades and torrents tumbling from melting glaciers. You zig-zag over mountain passes along government trails that yield to the beholder such glorious per spectives of weird topography in countless hues—that word painting or any kind of a painting seems cheap and futile. This is, too, a delightful vacation land. Here are resources for every tourist. “Good management and good nature”—is the Law of the Park. PLet me send you Glacier Park publications; they will make to you a strong appeal to renew your energies L. GENERAL PASSENGER AGT., IM4 Parma m Street, Omaha, Neb. T. F.
