YELLOWSTONE NEEDG MONEY One Good Highway Best, Says Fred Patee, in Disscussion Wind River Project By FRED PATEE Information from Denver that contracts have been signed for the construction of 150 miles of road on the Wind River project in Wyom- ing shows that the things I have been telling Casper folks for months are coming true. The Yellowstone high- way is going to have a strong com- petition for the Denver tourist bus- iness unless the business men along the route of the Yellowstone highway get up end fight for their rights. Here is, $250,000 of good money going into a road that is absolutely lost so far as any permanent good is concerned. Of course we cannot prevent the Lander people from having their quota of the bond issue that was voted last April in accordance yjth law, but they are teking that money and scattering it along sixty miles of highway that there is no imme- diate demand for when the state as a_whole needs a permanent Yelicw- stone highway, and not have a dozen trails that will be good only a few weeks at the very most, of each year. Two hundred and twenty-five thous- and dollars will build at least twelve miles of good cement highway that will last practically forever, while that much scattered over a sixty mile road only makes a right of way to-pave later on. When Mr. Gardner was president of the Northwestern railway, before his death, he had a corps of engi- neers go over the line of the route of.this road and make an estimate of the cost of a road from Lander to the south gate of the park, with a view of having an automobile route established so that the railroad could advertise a thru route to Yellow- ‘gtone park, and sell tickets to Lan- der and the park via the automo- biles, but his engineers made an ad- verse report, saying that nothing but ® permanent highway such as cement would be advisable on that road. Mr. Gardner told me thet they gave up the project with great regret as they were very anxious to get the busi- ness for the park that could have been secured thru an advertising campaign such as the road was will- ing to go into. And here they are spending $250,- 000 on this very same bit of road for a sixty mile stretch and letting the Yellowstone highway, which is a state road, off with a twelve mile bit of improvement. I say the towns along the Yellowstone highway should wake up, and see that every dollar of the $6,800,000 that id available under the road bond act, baring only the proportion that goes to the coun- ties that are not on the highway, is spent”on the. Yellowstone “highway, and not scattered “along its length eith— but spent in permanent road as fhr as it goes. : . Harry Burhans said before the Camber of Commerce the other that the tourist business of Colorado was more than $40,000,000 ‘per year. Doesn’t Wyoming want half of that money? Wake up and meke a/réal honest to goodness campaign for it and BASE CAEIEEY can get ‘it, every year. CHANGE IN FORD PRICE UNLIKELY pacar, Is Behind V With Orders; New Contracts to Be Nego- tiated August | No change in the price of Ford cars is expected with the negotia- tion of new contracts on August 1 according to Earl C. Boyle, agent, who bases this assumption on the fect that the motor company is 100,- 000 cars behind on its orders, and no cut in price is necessary in the business-getting policy for the new year. Inasmuch as it is not the prac- tice of the Ford people to hike the cost, no revision in the opposite direc- tion is anticipated. Nothing further has been learned of the prospective manufacture of a cheaper car by the Ford company, no announcement other than the pre- preliminary statement of several months ago having been issued, It is unlikely that the new car will make its debut dyring the coming year. Ford automobiles continue in un- precedented demand here, as shown | by the fact that three carloads were received by the local agency during the week and other shipments are enroute.

TIRE SHIPMENTS SENT ALL PARTS OF STATE Tire shipments from Casper to various Wyoming points touched a new record during the past week as a result of the Boyle garage secur- ing the state agency for this popular brand. Indications are that distribu- tion from Casper will prove highly satisfactory and the business is one which will grow to large propor- tions during the present season. cour; : ' ch and t . THE UNIVERSAL CAR’ The Ford Sedan, with its exceedingly comfortable and refined furnishings, its neat appearance and every-day-in-the-year utility, is an especially attractive motor car for women, meet- ing so fully all the demands of social and family life—a delight to women who drive because of the easy, safe control. Sum- mer and winter it is always ready—never a doubt about that nor any fears for trouble on the way. Then the cost of opera- tion and upkeep is very small. Sedan, $875.00 f. 0. b.

There are very few people in this part of the state who fully realize the wonderful power that lies under the hood of the little Maxwell. All we ask is a fair chance to prove what a really wonderful lit- tle car we have to offer the motoring pu blic. It is a real pleasure to own and drive a Maxwell for you feel so sure of your car and of your ability to meet any emergency. A real pleasure car means a real business car and these are just the qualities that you will find embodied in the, Maxwell. Everybody come out on the 13th, it will be worth your while.
