Half Way Station Needed.

One of the great needs Just now
of the public and a profitable open
ing for some enterprising citizen is
the establishment of a feeding and
lodging station on Clay creek on
the route to Two Buttes.
Hundreds of teams and drivers
have to stop some place on this
route every week. and all would
gladly pay reasonable price for
comfortable lodging for themselves
and teams. Besides this many pas
sengers are forced to stop every
day at some place on the route and
at present there is no adequate ac-
commodations for them. This is
not a temporary business. but as
soon as the present work is over
hundreds of families will move on
to these lands to farm and prove
them up, and these will make the
business continuous.
The Bowler Automobile Co. has
established regular passenger SER
vice from Lamar to Two Buttes. and
there will soon be special telephone
lines in, and these improvements
will cause an increase in the al
ready heavy travel along the line.
There is big opportunity in this
line for the man who gets in right
away.
