It was drawn for the Casper Motor club in spirit of fairness to the towns on both the routes from Shonshoni to the park, and it is new being dis- tributed by the Denver Tourist bu reau and at all of its branches, You will notice that this map not only shows all of the towns on both routes to the park, but gives the names and locations of the two new hotels that were built last year for the benefit of tourists. One of the folders enclosed by Mr. Bare, is a splendidly printed and illustrated folder published by the Rocky Mountam Highway asso- “Ng, ciation at Laramie, and this highway all the way from Denver to park, and does not show the the lowstone highway except as a very fine line, It also gives details of mileage of the Rocky Mountain highway, and no data whatever of the Yellowstone highway.

Mr. Fred Patee, Casper, Wyoming. Dear Mr. Patee: I appreciate very much your favor covering in detail the situation at Casper relative to the routing of tourists from Denver to Yellowstone National park, and I am very glad, indeed, to have you call our attention to the fact that there is no read between Thermopolis and Lander; also to have the information relative to the road from Riverton to Lander. I have called all of the above to the special attention of the information clerks in the office of our tourist bureau and I sincerely trust that the very fair way you have handled this matter will accomplish the big pur- pose you have in view; that is, to bring a greater co-operation between the muntfcipalities in Wyoming. I have made a very careful in- yestigation since my return to Den- ver relative to the information given out by the various bureaus in Den- the tourist bure: u— Something New In Casper Road—Call or Send for Us DAY or NIGHT Pathfinder Accessory Shop “Invite Us to Your Next Blowout” 419 EAST SECOND AT YELLOWSTONE Automobiles PHONE 1112 CASPER, WYO., SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1923.
