AUTO TOURISTS STIS WT CAME IN CIGPER Chamber of Commerce President Finds Majority Complimentary of Treatment Accorded Them Here That tourists who go through Casper, either going or returning from Yellow- stone’ Park, are greatly pleased with the eamp grounds established here, is evident from the following report of a visit to the camp made by Earl D, Holmes, president of the Chamber of Commerce to Secretary Stafford, He says: ‘Desiring to know how the tourists who are passing through our city felt regarding the accommodations given them I visited the camping grounds t evening. As all know the camping ground is located on the fairgrounds. “Many of our ¢ ns have felt that this was too far away and out to one 'y one I called on was loud in praise of the grounds, stating that the sommodations were ample and en-| 1 because of the quietness, ete. © parties were on their wav east from Yellowstone Park and had come by the vw of ybull, Basin and The nopoli They stated that some of these places had more equipment, enjoyed Casper as much as along the road, They also many tourists’ wanted too much, and did not enjoy life as much as they might. Two young men from Ohio compliniented us on services ren- dered at the chamber headquarters and on the grounds, stating further, that the West gave much more attention to the tourist than the East. “To m mind it only goes to prove that Casper needs the section of land on the south for golf, parks and play- rounds and camping purposes. ‘Bhe city should arrange if possible to secure land to the west of the fairgrounds so as to have camp groun(s with a stream} running through Following is a list of people called on: Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Watertown, D., Dr. W.
