"The Yellowstone Trail Mr.. Coo

selling tourists travel. It has been
estimated that a party of three per-
sons travelling over the trail, spend
an average of SIS for each 1926 miles.
This shows that. with the thousands
of tourists who each year travel over
the trail, the trail is a paying propo-
sitiOn.
In 1920 Mr.. Cooley said $4, 1865 ,07O
was spent on new construction of
road IN the trail, while $36O,64 was

ed "a hours in the city, trading with
the merchants.
Proposed plans and the budget for

chat the Yellowstone Trail is a bust
ness organization, he said it is a
business that will never fail and
stock in which will always increase
In value. The tourist business over
the trail, he said, is increasing each
year.
Mr.. Wiley compared the Yellow
stone trail to the other two coast-t0-
coast highways, the Lincoln and

On its Improvement, the Yellowstone
