The Best Advertisement
The benefit that Wallace is now re-
ceiving from the heavy tourist travel
IS a complete vindication OF the pre- q
dictions made by the good roads
boosters in giving financial support
to the Yellowstone trail and in Great j
ing sentiment in favor of better s
highways through this district. The @
benefits are shared by the entire dis 7
trict for aside from the cash the ]
tourists leave in the various towns {
along the line, the courtesies shown G
them and the splendid camping ia
cilities provided for them at Mullan.
Wallace and Kellogg and the infor-
nation they gain regarding the dis r
trict all combine to give them an in
teresting experience that will be re-
lated to other tourists whom they O
meet and to their friends i'm far away lis
states This is the best ADVERTISING II
that can be had and it is the kind Il
that money can not buy. Perhaps the C,
man who has given most time to ad- O.
gooating good roads i'm Shoshone a.
county and to pointing out the ad- G..
vantage of securing the Yellowstone u
rail through this district is f. e ST

association. He is naturally much d,
ratified with the stream of travel to
