tinent the snow having been show eled from the pass between Saltese. Montana and Wallace. Idaho. and | from Snoqualmie Pass in Washing ton. The lateral from these trails leading south from Livingston to the north entrance of Yellowstone Park is l in better condition than it has been I for several years past. It is highly I praised by tourists now in the park. | The approach to the northwest en- trance of the park from Bozeman is not open. but early in July will be 1 available for motorists. The roads leading to the western entrance. at West Yellowstone. Montana. are dry l ing up fast, and travellers report the Madison valley road and the NiEi- lante Trail by way of famous Nir- 1 ginia Pass the old placer mining camp. as being in very good shape The vigilante Trail is being re- marked. However. the roads des- cending the Continental Divide from Idaho into Montana near the west entrance to the park are still muddy and slippery and chains are needed. This road wilr be reparied very soon by the forest service, which has made a special allotment of road funds for this work.
 The approach roads in Idaho. es- pecially the main highway from Salt Lake City to the park. are in excel- lent condition to Ashton, Idaho. Most of this main highway Is paved Be tween Ashton and West Yellowstone the road is rough in places. and. as } already stated, on the Montana side of the Continental Divide is still quite muddy. Construction work is in , progress on the Idaho side This is a federal aid project, which when com | pleted will have cost approximately , $190000- It is expected that most of ? the work will be finished this year. ? i Then the approach from Salt Lake f City to the park will be above any Q sort of adverse criticism The branch a road from this main north and south Idaho highway leading through Teton n Pass into the Jackson Hole. thence r to the south entrance of the park. will 3 be in excellent condition for trave e by July l.
 t In Wyoming. every mile of the Tel d lowstone highway from Cheyenne ts y Cody is under state maintenance. ane e with tht exception of short stretche, near Shoshoni and near Lost Cabir k on the alternative route in that sec . tion of the state are in better con. IS dition than ever before. The wins - River approach to the south entrance 5, of the park, by way of Twogwote' l. Pass. will be open for travel by Jul, | h 10. Much construction work will b in progress on this road during tn l. summer but good turnouts are be e ing prepared and a comfortable tril k. over this approach road seems as l- sured.
