how to elbow on our streets is one
OF the most potent of spell-binders:
especially does it fascinate the east
ner, who never tires of watching the
indians as they pass and repass. He
loves to visit their camp in which he
hnds them sojourning in all the prim-
itive simplicity of the ancient arrow
maker in the land of the Dakotas."
His cup of delight quite overflows
when, gorgeous in feathers, beads
and paint, with swaying bodies and
weird, rhythmic Grooming they give
a war dance on the street.
Without exception the strangers
one meets are enthusiastic over the
Joys OF the plunges. nor do they ever
tire of descanting upon the charm
and beauty of the scenery and the
wonder of Sylvan Lake and Wind
Cave.
This summer has been pre-emin-
entity a season of motor tourists. Hot
Springs has literally swarmed with
travelling automobiles whose occu-
pants are seemingly bent upon having
fresh air and good time with bit
of "roughing 1t" thrown in for extra
measure, as evidenced by the fact
that many of these strangers have
preferred to camp rather than to stay
at the hotels. A third more visitors
than usual is reported at Wind Cave,
the hotels and the livery men, how
ever, have not greatly benefited
therefrom. The merchants have Jared
better, the banks, too, have had q
busy season. A prominent banker
remarked to the writer, "This is one
of the best summers we have had.
While last summer was good, this
has been even better, and considering
the volumn of business we have hand
led this season may be considered
winner"
When the splendid trails and high
ways for motor travel passing thro
Hot Springs are considered, the
prophecy is jutifiable that Hot
Springs will be more and more, If
not the mecca, at least the wayside
inn of the tourist. The principal
scenic highway of the Black Hills is
the Denver-Deadwood,w which is mark
ed with the letter d enclosed in a
triangle.
1T includes the new government
road passing through Sylvan Lake.
Harney Canyon and the mist beau
tiful part of the notional forest The
Omaha. Rosebud and Black Hills
highway is road from Omaha to the
Black Hills through the Pine Ridge
Indian Reservation. Hot Springs is
also readily accessible to the new
Washington highway which extends
from the city of Washington to Los
Angeles. This road is designated by
black and yellow markings which
symbilize the Black Hills and Yellow
Istone Park"

The writer's first glimpse of the
Black Hills was obtained from the
car windows of the train running
between Buffalo Gap and Hot Springs.
We found our supply of adjectives

sides at once. To be in the historic

conducive to genuine thrills.

the beautiful. and romantic vale of

hills, nestled the goal of our pilgrim
