 The office of the chamber was then in the old First National Bank build ing on the sit$ of fhe Brown Marx building. It was during the Jackson administration that Vulcan, the con ception of J. A.

The Missoula camp was originated
by the Missoula chamber of commerce

it was not until 1921 that Missoula
took real action to make that city a
stopping place for tourists.

Sanitary Methods.
Large cans are placed near the kitch-
en- for garbage and other refuse.
SANITARY precautions are taken, in that
these containers are emptied by the
garbage department nearly every day.
Tourists are encouraged to clean up the
grounds before they leave but the city
also makes provisions for such work.
By keeping the grass green and cut
tourists are more apt to want to clean
up refuse.
In addition to the gas plates, large
oven-like fire places have been built
near the river for campers who prefer
wood fire for cooking and camp fire
at night.
Maps and other information are kept
in the kitchen for free use by tourists
and register is posted on the wall.
Other material may be secured at the
offices of the commercial club where a
free tourist information bureau is
maintained.
Caretaker.
Nearly all camps have caretakers
whose duty it is to watch and protect
tourists and see that their wants are
provided for in the best possible way.
In some cities, this official lives on the
grounds and makes the rounds of the
camp frequently during the day and
night to see that all are comfortable,
w. c. Meinerding, city park police
man, is the caretaker of the Great Falls
tourist camp. He visits the camp

"A Warren G. Harding, then 8
comparatively unknown Ohio
editor, and Oscar W. Underwood
whose leadership of the Democratic ma
jority in the house of representatives
had made him national figure, took
the oath as senators of the United
! States. From that time dates the
friendship that has grown between

A!ndred-to- shot"
In many ways President Harding
and Senator Underwood are alike.
Both are quiet spoken and both are
at their best around the conference
table. They are both men who make
friends and know how to hold them,
both are modest to a degree, both de-
test sham and hypocrisy. One plays
golf and the other does not, both know
all about baseball and both are Ameri-
can to the core.
Underwood Doesn't Play Golf.
The fact that President Harding is
a golf enthusiast while Senator Tn
derwood has never caught the golf
fever is the basis of little White
House story.

where the indications are it will re

Another instance that is recalled OIL
the friendship of these two leaders Of
opposite political affiliations is that
after Mr.. Harding was elected to the
presidency, it became necessary for
the president elect to protect his vote
In the senate. At that time the Re-
publican majority was only two votes,
and Mr.. Harding either had to occupy
his seat or else find some Democrat
who would pair with him. and in that
way maintain the slender Republican
margin of votes. Early in December

Expresses Gratitude.
That same day the president deliv-

pay similar honor to the CORE
spondents who had been his friends
during his active membership of the
senate.
II want you boys to do something
for me-" said Mr.. Harding to the
newspaper men who were crowded
about him, and I will appreciate it
very much. I forgot to say some
thing in my speech in the senate this
afternoon that l greatly regret. I in
tended to express my gratitude to
Senator Underwood for his gracious
ness in agreeing to protect my vote
until my successor is named some
weeks hence. 1t was fine thing on
the part of Underwood, and it was
my intention to express my thanks in
public before the senate. But there
were great many things / wanted to

Of course, the correspondents did rs
Mr.. Harding requested. 1t was just
another little proof Of the friendship
of the two men.
Not a Harding Democrat.
The fact that Senator Underwood is
the warm friend of President Harding
does not mean that Mr.. Underwood is
a Harding Democrat, or that he has
recanted one iota in his intense 10y

president and Mr.. Underwood are as

Helena maintained it's first auto

and a dancing resort. This park has
beautiful trees and a mountain stream

Merchants Bring Camp Near Stores |
The location of the city tourist |
camp at Helena is not good site for |
a camp ground. 1t is situated in the |
heart of the city on barren lot. How
ever it answers the objection of some
Helena merchants who insist that the
camp be close to the center of the
city where tourists may easily trade
in the stores. It's location is also bad
because no camp fires can be built
with safety and the beauties of the
country are lost. 1t is provided with

ennis courts adjacent to Hill Park
near the grounds.
