From the corners Of all states are
headed tourists for Glacier National
park which is officially open to tourist
travel for the season today. The open
ing of the park means also the open
ing of the tourist season in Great Falls.
For Great Falls is located on five
famous national highways, over which
travel motorists from north south,
east and west.
Indicctions point to q greater tourist
tarvel than last year, according to in
sources. Railroads are anticipating d
banner year, commercial clubs report
that the motor travel is already heavy
in many parts of the country and will
steadily increase through the summer
months.
Expect so Per Cent Increase
Judging from personal inquiries re-
gardirg road conditions and scenic at
fractions in this part of the country and
inquiries and information that we have
received from automobile clubs and
highway associations. I believe that the
tourist travel through Great Falls will
be fully so per cent greater than it
was last year." said l.. E. Jones. secre-
tary of the Great Falls Commercial
club.
That 1922 will be a banner year for
tourist travel over the various trans
of the touring bureau of our organiza-
ton said O.. W. Lewis of the Auto
mobile club of Southern California in
a letter to Mr.. Jones. There will be
q greater volume of travel over those
routes the coming season than any pre-
vious year, if the large number of in
quiries we are receiving daily, both
from local and eastern motorists con-
templating such trips, is any criterion
Everybody Wants to Go West
A paragraph from a letter received
by Mr.. Jones from the Headquarters of
the Theodore Roosevelt International
Highway association at Duluth. Mimi,
says, 'Regarding the tourist travel to
the west this year, allow the writer
to state that from all reports the tour
ist travel will be increased 100 per
cent. Everybody seems to want to 90
west this year and we wish to take this
opportunity to warn you to be ready
to take care of your share"
There will be no difficulty along
that line" Mr.. Jones said. Long NAV
the line of tourists wave We have
one of the most completely equipped
and pleasant tourist camps in the state,
hotel accommodations that can't be
eclipsed in the west and a welcome sign
that is the real goods"
The Great Falls auto tourist camp
was established n year ago and already
has the reputation Of being one of the
