cottage and fitted 1t up with a splen-
did range. cupboard, dishes, cooking
utencils, screened the window and
door, furnished record book for
tourists to register in, also forty feet
of rope for swing and twelve signs
to advertise the free auto tourist
park. Further needed improvements
will be completed during the week.
This park is proving a splendid
advertisement for Blackfoot. Last
week a California car stopped there,
both going.-to and returning from
the Yellowstone park and were very
profuse with their praise and appre-
citation of the accommodation ex
tended by Blackfoot, saying that ex-
Guiding Boise, it was the best on
the route from California to Idaho.
OF course we accepted this flattery
with grain OF salt, but last night
car from Turin, Iowa, and another
from Sterling, Colo, both bound for
the Yellowstone park, registered in
our park, and when the writer inter-
viewed them both parties said, "Oh,
we were told in Basin, Wyo., that

ground until we struck Blackfoot,
Idaho, and to be sure and camp there
going to and returning from the
Yellowstone. The writer asked who
gave them this bit of information
and the reply was, why, Cali
fornia car, going to Kansas, and lall
of us took their advice" Verilly
news travels by auto wireless. Let
us all rejoice it's praise instead of
censure:

playground equipment.
The following recommendation
were presented by the v. l. S. to
the mayor and city council for con-
sheraton.
We recommend that the night
sprinkling wagon sprinkle the road
way in the city park at night.
That the care-taker be invested
with police authority in the park
without extra compensation for said
duty
That night police be put on duty
during the tourists season and assist
in moving the lawns as we'll.
Reasons night police is neces-
sary:
To maintain order.
To prevent hoodlums destroying
property and committing other law
less acts.
To direct tourists where to park
cars.
To unlock the park cottage for
use of late arrivals.
To prevent campers from setting
up camp stoves.
Could assist in moving lawns.
See that campers obey park regu-
lations concerning disposal of papers,
cans and other refuse.
The V. l. S. have the misfortune
to have three tables broken by hood
lums dancing on them and over-turn-
ing them, also one settee.
1t pays to advertise! Within an
hour after stating we needed fuel
at the park, for the convenience of
tourists, Mrs. e. Pearson furnished
and delivered a truck load and Mr..
Peterson Of me Bybee grocery
phoned that he would supply us at
any time during the remainder of
the summer.
