Sociab1ity Tour viii Take
50 Cars Through Valley City

With preliminary details for stag
ing the sociability automobile tour to
Yellowstone park in July settled, new
interest has been injected into the
movement by the news that the Ma
tional Highways association will be
fostering spirit. That body hopes, by
this method, to induce greatest inter-
est in road betterment work through
out the northwest.
With sanction applied for to the
American Automobile association, the
interests of automobile tourists, as
we'll as good roads advocates, are be-
ing welded to insure it's success. There
will be at least so cars to depart for
the western playground on July 20, &C.
cording to w. w. Smith, Of the North
Dakota State Automobile association
under whose auspices the tour will be
run.
Many clubs throughout the north
west have celled for entry blanks, indi-
eating that members Of their respec-
tive organizations intent to participate.
St. Cloud will be represented; Detroit,
Mimi, will have at least one car; Lit
tie Falls motorists expect to send an
automobile representing that city, and
clubs in North Dakota have assured
the promoters that from three to six
cars will represent the larger North
Dakota cities along the route.
! 1t is planned to send a pathfnding
car over the route to Gardiner, Mont,
leaving the Twin Cities about May Is.
| While the directors are already well
marked on the National Parks high
way, the purpose of the pathfnding
trip will be to take notes on places
where road improvement work may be
required. Three automobile manufac-
turers have made application to fur
nish the pathfinding car. This indi-
Gates that the large motor car produc-
ers are evincing much greater enthus-
iasm than had been expected.
Meantime, preparations for the dedi-
cation ceremonies at Medora, N. D.,
are going on. This function, opening
for traffic the new $4,000 automobile
bridge across the Little Missouri river,
will be one of the principal attractions
offered the tourists before they reach
the Gardiner entrance to Yellowstone
park.
Theodore Roosevelt, in letter to J.
P. Hardy at Fargo, has tentatively
promised to be present at this celebra-
ton. Medora was for several years
Col Roosevelt's home and the food of
letters and kilograms from his old
time cowboy friends, Mr.. Hardy de-
clared, has proved too great an appeal
to be resisted.
A committee to have charge of the
tour, which will be purely sociable in
nature, will be named during the COM
ing week.
