1s—A “Seeing America First”’ Interest in the western auto tours| has been stimulated by reason of the action of the department in charge of in permitting auto the parks this year throughout the entire season that the weather conditions will allow the safe use of cars, and there is a concerted movement among the organizations which have in hand the construction and maintenance of cross-continental auto routes to take care of the gen erally anticipated large auto traffic across the United States during the hot months. 1 al auto traffic of the States going west is carried | over the central western routes (the | Pike's Peak route, the Midland trail | and the Lincoln highway.) These great trans-continental high- | ways converge at Salt Lake City and | Dgden, Utah, and continue as the Lin- | coln highway to the coast From Salt Lake City and Ogden the Salt Lake-Yellowstone highway runs in a enerally northerly direction through'| tah and Idaho, and carries the com- bined traffic of these routes to the Yellowstone National park. Auto| travel entering the park from the| northern routes is picked up at Yel-| lowstone entrance and carried to Po- catello, I¢ )., the junction of the| Idaho-Pacific route to the northwest, and on to the branching off point on | the Lincoln highway to be routed east | or west, as the case may be. Along it and its auxiliary high- ways, leading into every section of northern Utah and southern and cen tral Idaho may be had some of the finest fishing, hunting and scenic sec tions of the great northwest, second only to, and in a great many instances | rivalling the interest features of the great Yellowstone park, Upwards of $5,000,000 have been spent to place the highway from the reat Salt Lake to Yellowstone in perfect condition for auto travel, An organization designated as the Utah- | Idaho-Yellowstone Highway associa- ' tion, composed of prominent citizens of the two states, work in conjunction with the constituted legal authorities in the seventeen counties along the | route to patrol and maintain the high-| | way to accommodate the heavy traffic | over it. Along the highway from Great Salt Lake to Yellowstone, through Utah and Idaho is so much to sce that it| | all cannot be taken in on a single trip. From Salt Lake City, through | ! Ogden, past Ogden and Weber Can- ns, the Inng white road leads to ‘rllhnm City through intensively cul- ' tivated farm and orchard land, which | hugs the base of the snow-capped | Wasatch range and gently declines w the great ? ke shimmering to the west—then over the tinkling mountain streams and great, green stretches of th: sunkissed Cache and Malad val- s, that climb clear into the foot hi{l of the adjoining mountain range, lage and fertile farm land, criss- crossed with the never- endmg irriga- tion streams—or by way of the great, deep Bear lake and the fertile ficlds of Bear Lake valley, until the pictur- esque drive through Portneuf can- yon, along the placid reaches of the river and by water fall and beaver dam, farmhouse and dairy ranch, be- tween the tall mountains and fugh ‘brupt lava phalanxes brings you into bul , bustling, growing Pocatell, and reat Oregon Short Line railroad { uu Jlishment, the hub of the Harri- man system, In succession you cross the Fort Hall Indian reservation, riding alon, the old Captain Bonneville trail, an pass through the gl’olptfl)lfl cities of the great upper Snake River valley, the granary of Idaho. Off to the right the Tetons rear themselves above the clouds and away to the west the Sawtooths form a purple back- ound for the setting of the beauti- ’;l picture of the valley of the wind- and tortuous Snake, Sefore you realize you find yourself climbing into the foot hills and civi- lization slipping away. The highway to Warm river, climbs vide, and you look down : ln the yawning canyons of the Snake xnvcr and Warm river, two white ! strips of foaming waters, dashing to- ward the Columbia. Far below the | valley stretches and spreads before | you like a multicolored fan., Ahead fand a half mile to the left are the two great falls of the upper Snake. The highway is now traversing the Targhee National forest, and soon emerges into the Island park country, ! the home of Mrs. Harriman, on the ! Morgan - Guggenheim - Harriman es- ! tates, Judge A. S. Trude of Chicago, { and others, who maintain large club- houses, summer places and temporary ! camps. Across Island park the highway fleads through dense woods, inter spersed with open parks and mead- ows. You cross stream after stream clear and sandy bottomed, full of scurrying trout, You pass Big Springs, where the huge springs gush from the mountainside to form the head waters of the Henry's Fork of the Snake river, cross the Snake river at Flat Rock (if some inviting camp spot bas not yet caught fancy) bouch inte Hex flat, at the base of grand ol e mountain, | skirt ll-\,.H end the pass over the Mo o divide and [ park) a beautiful landscape of city and vil- | Sarz Laxe Yeriow- Stong HigrwAY ALONG SNAKE RIVER SCcENE ALoNG SALz-LAKE -YELLOWSToNE.

C. Friend, general sales man- ager of the Mitchell-Lewis Motor company, is y on an extended trip to the ]'mlfit coast. The big increase in the Mitchell demand the necessary increase in the produc- tion, the coming out of the new model and the preparing of plans for a continuation of the aggressive Mitchell selling campaign have been factors in delaying his annual w ern tour to the big Mitchell distribu- ters on the Pacific coast. With the big Mitchell advertising campaign under full sway, the in- creased consumer demand has largest dealer demand from the Pacific coast the Mitchell has ever experienced, and with the rapid broadening of the \hlrhl” selling orgs tion on the coast h come the necessity for closer super- vision that only Mr. Friend with his wide experience can give, Mr, ¥Friend will spend some three weeks going over the field carefully with the Mitchell representati studying the selling problems p. liar to the west coast states and re- distributing the factory representa- tion, something made ne ary by the broadening field of demand for the Mitchell product.
