TO CALL MEETING.
Need For Quick Action on the Advertising
Of This Valley and About What
Is Needed at this time.

their own in addition to the Trans.
Continental posts and upon these
posts will appear the mileage to
points and between points. II
Saratoga will call a meeting of the
live people and set a date to take
some action on this matter we can
get our mileage upon those posts,
and this feature should by all
means be attended to at this time
and should not be overlooked for
the value it will mean to MS all
The Elk Mountain people intend
to get out literature containing all
the information possible relative
to every feature of the country
from Cheyenne to Salt Lake, and
we want to be in on that with both
feet. Some of the leading men
here should compose themselves
into a committee and take it upon
themselves to arrange a meeting
here about the 18th of April and
have some of the Elk Mountain
people over and go over the matter
of what kind of literature this shall
be and what it shall contain and
put up their share for the cost,
which will not be much, as a great
many of the automobile agencies
and supply people will take enough
advertising space to nearly pay for
this matter.
The matter of the mileage should
be taken up now and not wait until
this meeting In April, as the Elk
Mountain people want to put the
mileage on the posts at once. The
other matter of literature and law
can come up at the meeting a lit
tie later. Are you on or shall we
let this golden opportunity go by.
We:can be left out if our citizens
want us to be, and the rest of the
people along the route can handle
the matters for themselves. 1t is
up to us to move now or hold our
peace forever. Following is a let
ter from VIM. Sodergreen relative
to this matter, from the Elk Noun
tain Commercial Club:
Mr.. Dana s. Crawford, Saratoga,
Wyo.
Dear MI. Crawford {:
At a recent meeting of the
Elk Mountain Commercial Club
we reviewed the work of the past
season that this Club accomplished
on the roads and we were highly
pleased with the large amount of
work that has been done for the
amount expended. Our Club tho
not very large has done a large
amount of good and lasting work
and we believe that should Elk
Mountain and Saratoga work to-
gether on road matters it would be
a great benefit to both places. 1t
is possible to make the route thru
the Rattlesnake Pass, one of the
shortest routes to Saratoga from
the east with a very little amount
of labor. We would be willing to
cooperate with a like Club Of
Saratoga on making a good road
every foot of the way to Saratoga
Without a doubt it would bring
many outsiders into the PlattS
Valley that would otherwise &c
right through.
1t would seem that working to
gether we could get out a pamph'
let advertising the resources of the
both places and it would aid ma
terially in getting results. There
are thousands of people in the eah
who would be glad to learn of th'
possibilities of the valley for a VS.
cation trip. 1t would be well t.
see to it that these people ar.
reached with the proper advertise
ing matter. There are a numbe
of things that should be taken nj
that would be of mutual interes
to both places and would be tn
best way to get down to the rea
issue would be TO have a join
maat;no in the near future WheI
