o. August ]. ,L.,... zoe
,rsi boz he has been trying to CON
20 every Secretary OF the interior
80, motorists should be allowed 10 see
-. wonders Of this great scenic re'''-
ysiion. c-.--.. .., .Lo
,,,,,;ot. q few days ago consented TO
~ 49,. he park. in order 10 get nd OF
NV ina, it is opened. of course
| ,,Ao6v who owns a car knows how TO
is situated in the extreme north
1 v,,,srn corner Of Wyoming ard those
vbo contemplate taking II m on their
,,,rscontineYtal trip 10 the Panama
p,sife Exposition should not fail 20
,nov Al least one week TO see its mani
isld beauties.
n tbey are going in midsummer from
,bs Esst 70 might be well 10 head Tor
Chieaco. thence northwest TO Mime
,rsiis ano along the Northwest Trail
~ Livingston. Mont. from which point
,hsr NAV turn southwark and ru0
ff,y.three miles 10 Gaiulner, the
northern entrance 10 the park.
II they DO not care 10 60 80 FAR north
As Minneapolis ,hey can take more
direct route from Chicago to Omaha
and cross Nebraska 10 Cheyenne, Wyo.,
where they viii meet the Yellowstone
"ationsl Highway, none too good al its
1t. 10 Cody From Cody they would
.rf wonderful run Of tfty-three
nj les to the eastern gateway OF the
rark. now called Pehaska Lodge.
After seeing the park II they wish TO
continue TO the fair they can make
eu. on the western side Of the park,
and drop down along the eastern edge
OF Idaho 10 the Utah line, and thence
through Ogden 70 Salt Lake City.
From Salt Lake there IS q good road
west 10 Ely, where tourists have the
option Of reaching the coast either
through Reno or southwark 20 Les An
le.es. The Reno route is the direct
one 10 the fair, and II also affords an
opportunity Of stopping long enough
20 get q divorce, IL being assumed that
10 lFsnscontinental tourist will 60 10
al the trouble 70 drive TO Reno with
0yi availing himself OF its full benefits.
There is still another way to reach
ihs Yellowstone and elimir ate Chicago.
This would be: To Cleveland. thence to
Indianapolis Kansas City and Denver,
where the tourist would turn north TO
Cayenne and again use the Yellow
stone National Highway.
A. L. WestgarL. tour director of the
National Highway Association and
iaiaer Of trauscOntlnental touring, says
he thinks the Northwest Trail that is,
The route from Chicago TO Minneapolis
and thence through North Dakota and
Montana to Livingston and down TO
Gardiner would be the best route for
Eastern tourists going 20 the park
s.-und the FIRST Of August. This would
axe them IN al the northern entrance,
but there is as yet no positive infor-
nation from Washington regarding the
admission Of motors through this en-
trance. II may be that all motor tour
1873 viii have 10 enter through Cody
and Pehaska Lodge.
Nr. NeStCard does not cnthuse over
ne so-caIlcd Yellowstone National
Highway running from Cheyenne 10
Cody.
Mr. Batchelder avs he understands
rom the Secretary Of the Interior that
az motor traffic entering the park must
leave in one direction. and the automo-
e'les viii leave Pohaska Lodge one
hsf hour in advance Of the horse
uraWn stages. which will continue TO
ftun' Tor non-motoring sightseers, over
heir regular routes.
An effort win be made later TO OBJ
IAN from the Secretary Of the Interior
more definite details for Eastern tour
ISIS who wish 10 tour through the yell
oVsione country this summer.
