Want Square Deal From Missoula
and Spokane.
DR.. f. L. Quigley stated that in
conversation with tourists camped at
Plains. Mont, a few days ago he was
informed by them that they had been
advised in Missoula to take the nor
thern route to Spokane, that it was a
better road than by Wallace and
shorter. He also said that tourists
camped in Wallace had told him that J
efforts were made in Spokane to di- |
vert them to the northern route by |
way of Standpoint, making the same
representations regarding the road as
compared with the Yellowstone trail
through this city. Dr. Quigley said
that he had recently been over the
road between this city and Missoula
and a few days ago was over the
northern route between Thompson
Falls and Dixon, Mont. The road
over there he said was in places prac-
tically impossible, generally narrow
and difficult to travel. The road be-
tween this city and Missoula is so
much better that there can be no i
comparison. He also called attention
to the big signboard at Missouri di-
recting tourists through Wallace which
is in the wrong place and suggested Y
that it be changed. AS to the propa- :
ganda at Missoula and Spokane, DR..
Quigley thought the board of trade a
should take up the matter with the a
commercial bodies of those cities and
insist that discrimination against the q
route through this city be discon- /
tinued.
President Mackey said that there is n
no doubt about the discrimination, o
but he was doubtful about being able 5
to stop it, The Yellowstone Trail n
association might help.
+. E. Stone stated that similar
complaints had been made to the Ma .
uonal Parks highway. and that or
ganization, in order to determine the
results of such propaganda, had plac-
I'd a man at Cataldo bridge and one Il
IN the northern route near Standpoint
'or the purpose of checking for one Il
lay These observations showed that
f unfair methods were being made to
livert travel over the northern route, r
{ was not proving successful, for on
he day mentioned 416 foreign cars
,assed over Cataldo bridge. while on
y 65 were checked on the northern Il
quite. Mr. Stone stated that so per ci
ent of the travel is passing over the az
'ellowstone trail through this dis p
riot fc
M. A. Corner expressed the opinion
hat Wallace is getting its share, and fo
uggested that as a further attraction CO
o tourists the board should prepare -
or next season by featuring Lookout 70
ass as the lowest and most attract rs
We from a scenic standpoint. tn
The discussion closed with the c CT
doption of a motion by d. H. belong of
the secretary to write the
hambers of commerce at Spokane pc
nd Missoula calling attention to this w
discrimination against the Wallace ju
QUITE asking an explanation and re- da
Nesting it's discontinuance. OIL

ayment of the rent under the lease
( the hall was finally disposed of by u

notion by Mr. Rossi that the treas

rade refuses to recognize any further
ability This motion was unanim- w
