4 to Spokane.
According to the appearance Of
4 tourist traffic and reports from those
who manage to get through to Great
Falls, many cars are being held back
by bad roads which have been e%ndanger-
ed and made rough by the recent rains
i in all parts of the state. Even the
graveled surface highways, in some sec
lions, make travelling unpleasant be-
. cause of ruts made by cars which drove
7 through during and after heavy rains.
Tourists seem to favor the northern
highway through the state and. those
who are bound for Glacier park and
the western coast, pass through Havre,
and ship their cars across the southern
( end of the park from Glacier park
station to Bolton.
They All Come Back
"They all return to Montana if they
have ever lived here and left" said
G.. e. S%teinberg, who passed through
. Great Falls last summer with all his
belongings, bound for "G1d's country"
because of bad crops and business con-
ditions in general.
There seems to be something about
it that makes you come back, despite
the several adverse conditions which
have been encountered" he said. Mr..
Steinberg said he was going back to
farming where he left off" because he
has faith in the state and would not
be contented elsewhere.
Mr.. Steinberg and family are motor
ing from Silverton, Ore, to Havre and
stopped at the tourist camp Saturday
night. He said the roads are fairly good
although made rough in places by the
recent rains. The crops look good every
whore and that indications point to a
bumper crops all over the state, ac-
cording to Mr.. Steinberg.
Gallon anE Half of Oil
"You won't believe it, but we have
come 1,40O miles between Great Falls
and Omaha, Neb., on exactly one gal
Ion and a half of oil-and in a road
louse,," said III. Ii. Eschle and Fred
Anderson. who are IN their way to
Glacier park. They came to Great
Falls by the way of Billings. Sheri-
dan, Wyo., and Lewistown. They say
the road from Lewistown to Great
Falls is fine except for about IA miles
this side of Lewistown. where the road
is rough and hard to travel over. THE
road from Roundup to Lewistown,"
they said, SIS just like a boulevard"
They said the crops look fine wher-
ever they have been and that many
tourists are going south over the Lew
istown-B Billings route. But they adj
wise no one to go east over the Yel-
lowstone trail because the weather has
turned the road into a veritable stretch
of mud.
On Way to Pine River
Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. MacLahan of
Lewistown nave been touring the CEN
trail part of the state and are pass
to Pine River. MINI. where they in
tend to stay for a few years. until
conditions open up better for the build
ing crafts in Montana"
They reported the road between
Stanford and Belt is quite bad because
of rain but that the highway from
Belt to within four miles of Great Falls
is the best they have ever been over.
The four miles leading into Great Falls
from the east needs much working ard
is IAN unwelcome sign for tourists
they said.
. The crops in the Judith Basin coun-
try are in fine shape but not g, far
advanced nor as healthy loo {

way from Havre to Great Falls. At a
point between Fort Assinniboinc and
Fort Benton. she said, the road has
been virtually washed out and it is
dangerous for tourists to attempt to
pass. She told of numerous oars
which pass through Havre on the way
to western points instead of the south
ern and central routes. which were used
more extensively last year. They came
to Great Falls because there is a Cad
lilac service station here and they COM
on the Great Falls tourist camp
which. they said, was the best they had
visited on the trip.
