Roads association will continue
to render free service to motor
lists over the Yellowstone TRAN
who are held up by accident or other
car troubles while within Shoshone
county. This system was adopted
some five years ago and many tour
lists have received the benefit of it and
as result have been constant boost
ers for this section of the Yellowstone
, trail Since the service was establish
ed it has cost the county association
only about SIS. and as a recompense
every person who received assistance
has been profuse in expressions of
gratitude, and has become a travelling
advertisement for the Yellowstone
trail and particularly that section be-
tween Missoula and Spokane ShO-
shone county is the only section on
any of the transcontinental highways
where this free assistance is provided.
If a car breaks down or is placed out
Of commission at any point on the
trail in this county, all the driver has
to do is to call up the secretary of the
good roads association in this city
and make his troubles known and a
relief car viii at once be sent out to
repair the damage on the spot if pos
sible or if necessary pull the crippled
car to the nearest garage Tourists
from various parts of the United
States have been assisted in this way
and the service has proved to be the
most effective advertisement. the kind
that money can not buy.
To Divert Travel at Missoula
As a means of attracting tourist
travel at Missoula by way of the
Occur dAlene district to Spokane, the
good roads association maintains a
large sign board az Missoula setting
forth the advantages and attractions
Of this route as against the route fur
ther north. This has proved very ef-
fective and in order to maintain its
usefulness it must have a fresh touch
of paint Walter j. Sullivan, who
makes frequent trips to Missoula, was
commissioned to see that the sign is
reprinted.
