The Spokesman has received a
copy of the automobile map of
Mount Rainier National Park, just
issued by the National Park Ser
vice. This map shows the location
of the hotels, checking stations,
public camp grounds, garages, and
other points of interest to the mo-
torist. On the back is small map
showing the principal roads OF
Washington in their relation to
Mount Rainier National Park. The
new hotel and camp at Paradise
Valley should draw many motorists
to this great park, as the various
classes of accommodation enable
the tourist to live as cheaply or as
luxuriously as he desires. Any mo-
torist intending to visit the park
may obtain copy of this map free
of charge by addressing the Ma
tional Park Service, Washington,
