Blackfoot Judged on Ba-
sis of'Park Accom-
modations

ground for tourists is creating an
asset of good will to an extent that
is source Of constant surprise. Ev-
cry night the park is a resting place
for dozens Of camping parties, and
they take every opportunity to give
expression to their satisfaction over
the accommodations furnished. AT
every camping place up and down
the line for hundreds of miles camp
ers are telling one another that
Blackfoot, Idaho, is such and such
a fine town and has such fine
place for tourists to stay. People
make long drives to get to Black
foot on that account, or if they ar
rive here early they remain because
it is such restful place. They like
the shade and the sod, the cook
house with its big range and fuel
supply right at hand, and the easy
trip to the stores if they want to
shop or go window gazing. They
stroll thru the residence district and
study the town and it's fine homes
and brand Blackfoot as good place
to live.
If person will spend few min
utes among the campers at any time
they will make such remarks as,
I'VE came 25 miles out of our way
to spend the night at this place.
I'VE drove two hours after stopping
time to get to this camp" "We are
going to lay over for while, it is
so fine.''
