a place to build their fires and also !
to harbor their machines.
I was Very agreeably surprised 1
when I came in by the’way of Cody
to see the little plan they have there;
and it could very well be followed
by many other cities along similar :
lines. Y.'e have all heard in the cities
of the different uses the school houses i
are put to during the vacations, for i
recreation purposes, but I don’t know
of another place where their plan has
been carried out. As far as I know
Cody is the first to start it. The
school house stands in the center of
a block with ample ground around it
which is open to motorists who come
in and wish a camping place. All
around the outside edge of this
square they can place their machines
underneath the trees. The janitor,
who is one of the most genial men
that you could possibly meet, stands
ready to look after every want, pro
vides them, for a few cents, with nec
essary wood to make their fires.
The use of the basement with sani
tary facilities is available and in
rainy weather they can sleep inside.
At one edge runs an irrigation ditch,
which supplies them with the best of
water.
Plans should be made all along the j
highways for such camps. In one j
case a man has actually given a cer
tain portion of his forest to be used
for just such a purpose, and it just
shows what the possibilities are and
what might be developed by making
such camps along the Park-to-Park
highway. In Denver the city parks 1
provide places where the motorist
can be taken care of and those who i
wish to travel this way can and i.
doesn’t hurt the hotel in any wav
cither. It helps the whole garni
along the line.
I have endeavored in this rather
long discussion to tell you what vvt
are doing to mah the parks popula:
with the motorist, and what we ex
pect to do in the future; to place be
fore you the position of the park ad
ministration with respect to the park
to-park Highway; to pledge my sup
pi rt and assistance in this enterprise
Our work, 1 have pointed out, is still
in the parks themslvep, yours in con
ni cling the parks; ours to encourag.
travel to the parks by publicity and
by other methods, yours to thought
fully assist the tourist and keep him
in the righ frame of mind as he goes
frnrri park to park; ours to provid:
a> imodatii ns for him in the parks
o; ortunities for him to camp out
wi.h his own equipment or visit the
hi. els and camps, yours to establish '
nv nicipal camping parks with prop
ei facilities for the tourists who may i
linger in your towns and cities on his I
way to parks. <
May vi all succeed, and in succeed- I
i prov! that the “See America <
I-"rst” movement is, from the point t
of view of health, recreation and :
v, allh the most important propa- I
g.mda in the nation today.

The Woman’s club of upper Sage
met at the home of Mrs. E. Lindstrom
yesterday afternoon and Miss Mabel
Wilkinson made an address on the
benefit of Park county’s free public
library to country woman. The meet
ing was well attended and Miss
Wilkinson’s talk greatly appreciated.
The effects of Wyoming’s salubr
ious climate were again demonstrated
Wednesday by the arrival at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Christie of
two wee, winsome little lassies—
twins, they are, and each one is
pretty as a picture and as chipper as
a cricket.
F. W. Kurtz the plumber is in the
hospital at Billings where he was
taken Sunday evening suffering with
a serious attack of appendicitis. An
operation was perfomed Monday and
late that evening a report ’•cached
his family to the effect that he was in
a very critical condition and another
operation would probably have to be
performed. Later however, more en
couraging renorts were received and
an early recovery may be hoped for.
Members of the Cody Trading Co.,
frree have become im> u?d with the
idea that they are some lull players,
and have issued a challenge that will
probably result in an interesting
game. The first challenge " < '3u r *d was
to the whole town but upon more
mature deliberation the Trading Co.,
boys decided thev were taking in most
too much territory, so they have re
stricted their challenge to employees
of establishments in Cauj Handling
the same lines as the Trading Co.

It is desired that every state tra
versed by the National Park-to-Park
Highway shall have full opportunity
to organize and participate in the ex

5. We further recommend that a

resented in the same manner as pro
ided for the securing of executive
committeemen.

Term of Office
e Upon motion made by E. T. Gr >u-
fKeen Judges
of Value —
Do not go by comparative
prices. Quality merchandise is not built
down to a price, but up to a standard.
THE HOUSE OF KUPPENHEIMER
in making clothes for men and young men,
tolerates no compromise on quality.
Every bolt of cloth before acceptance,
■.-..ft***;?* . r must pass the most rigid of tests—many woolens common
in trade are rejected as unfit to carry the Kuppenheimer
label. The same high standards are in force with every
operation through which a Kuppenheimer garment
passes.
Is it any wonder that a Kuppenheimer
Suit gives longer wear and holds its original style and
“hang for life? We invite special attention to an as
sortment of summer-weight woolens in stylish Flannels
and Saxonys in greens, blues and browns at
$lB to S3O
well it was decided that the vice pres
idents and directors elected at this j
convention hold office until the next j
annual meeting or until their success- ■
ors are elected and qualified. '

Adjournment was taken as provid
ed by the action of the convention.
| Cody Backed the Enterprise
Cody and her business men have
played no small part in the organiza
tion of the Park to Park highway.
Backed by the leading business men
Gus Holm’s and L. L. Newton have
sufficient publicity to attract the fed
eral government, governors and con
gressional delegations of nine states
and secure the front pages of the
metropolitan press.
The organization will require fur
ther sacrifice and hard work on the
part of those directly interested ip
putting Cody to the front and bring
ing the auto tourist of the east to the
west for his summ»r vacation, accord
ing to President Holm’s, and in ac
cepting the presid»ncv of the nat : ona!
organization he did it believing his
home town was supporting him in the
movement.

ON PARK TRIP
(Continued from page one)
ened at a stalled automobile, in
which a party of Oregon tourists
were seeing the park. They had
stopped to repair a tire. The ani
mals shied past the machine and bolt
'ed down the trail, which is quite
steep at that point, and rushed past
another coach, whose driver had suf
ficient presence of mind to keep to
the outside of the road to prevent
the runaway from dashing over the
high cliffs.
Presence of mind on the part of
A. L. Westernhagen of Fargo, N. D„
who was in the rig ahead, probably
saved the occupants of the runaway
rig from instant death. He request
ed the driver to run his rig to the
very edge of the precipice to pre
vent the runaway from going over
the big cliff. In the rig with him
were Mrs. S. E. Peterson of Great
Falls, wife of the secretary of the
, press association, Henry Marsh of
, the C. I. Johnson company of St.
, Paul and his wife. The runaway
! rig missed them by scarce an inch
To have been touched would have
meant a deathly plunge 500 feet be
low.

CALLS FOR BIDS
A call for bids has been made tor
the construction of an addition to the
Powell school house. While the plans
have not yet been perfected, it is un

contain at least four new rooms. The
board has arranged to carry on the
construction work without interfer
ence with school routine and the new
building will be ready for occupancy
early in the winter.
