Tourist Camp
Opened For
NeU Season

Casper's tourist camp entered
upon its third season this morning
when it again opened for the recep
ton of tourists. Many persons
travelling through Casper were no
slow to take advantage of the OPP
p%ortunity given them when they
found at tho chamber of
headquarters that the camp was
open and that they were welcome
to stop there subject to the usual
rules and regulations.
Because of the great expense IN
keeping up the camp the commit
tee in charge and the city council
AVE agreed that a nominal charge
should be made each day. For the
first three days n a shall be
charged rs cents per day. For the
next three days II shall be charged
SO cents n day. One dollar a day
shall be charged for the next eight
days or fraction thereof.
The increase in rates according
to the period one stops at the camp
is thought advisable SO that the
greatest number of persons possible
may be able to get the benefit of
the camp. Fourteen days has been
set as the limit for q car to stay at
the camp.
