KIWAN|S B
HEARS REPORTS
ON CONVENTION
Election Of Durham as
District Governor
Great Victory.

The election of Harry B. Durham
to the governorship of the Colorado
Wyoming district OF Kiwanis is a
great step toward solidifying the
clubs of the two states and destroy
ing state lines, according to Kiwan-
ian Harry Enix OF Denver who was
present at the luncheon of the
Casper Kiwanis club today. The
Denverite paid n splendid tribute
to Mr.. Durham and to the Casper
club.
THE Casper club must be a
model for the other clubs of the
district to work toward said the
district governor when called upon
to speak. Mr.. Durham was hailed
with rising reclamation.
Reports on the convention re-
Gently held in Cheyenne took up
part of the luncheon period today.
It was brought out in one of the
reports tina the Kiwanis club Is not
a luncheon club and is possessed
of a function much greater than
merely getting a group of men to-
Eether for a social hour. The
K1wnnis work among the under
privileged children will be stressed
in the future.
The Rev. James w. Kramer was
n guest at the luncheon today. DR..
Kramer spoke on "Honest-to.God
Men," His lecture though neces-
sarily brief because Of lack of time
was forceful and convincing.
Brotherhood such as Kiwanianism
stands for and such as the church
stands for was an important phase
Of his argument big Jim ex-
tended an invitation to the Kiwanis
club to attend his sermon at the
Baptist church tomorrow night at
which time he will take the trinity

HIGHWAY WAR

State Law With Penalty
For Misrepresenting
Roads Is Urged.

THERMoPoLTs. wyo., Sept. IA.
1t Is understood that people living
In towns along the Rocky Mountain
highway leading to the southern
entrance Of Yellowstone park and
others living along Yellowstone high.
way leading into the eastern en-.
trance are clamoring loudly for n
state or federal law or ruling that
VIII make 1t a misdemeanor to mis-
represent a highway.
During the tourist reason 3ust
closed the chambers of commerce OF
Lander and Riverton, Fremont
county. established an Information
bureau at the junction point In the
highway between Shoshoni and
Bonneville where the road from Cas-.
per leads in. Tho bureau was in
charge of a man who was paid for
directing as much travel as possible
Into the southern entrance, accord
Ing to statements Of the chambers
of commerce of Thermopolis and
other towns in the Basin
This information bureau was
doing business only a few days until
the chambers of commerce of Cody,
Greybull. Basin. Worland and Their
mopolis combined their forces and
established another bureau of the
same kind just across the road from
the Lander-Riverton outfit, the man
in charge of the latter established
tourist directing Institution singing
the praises OF the eastern entrance
to Yellowstone park.
For awhile n merry wnr was
threatened and some whopping
stories were broadcasted regarding
the goodness and badness of the
roads to both these ~entrances to
Yellowstone park.
Just when 1t appeared that a con.
hict In earnest could not be avoided,
rature took a hand. the floods broke
loose. the country in the vicinity of
h information bureaus was de-
vastated for miles and highways In
every direction were put out of
business. Many tourists headed for
Yellowstone park. hearing
ated stories Of the flood, beat It
back to their homes or changed the
direction of their tour leaving the
information bureaus fighting for a
tourist trade that had fallen away
to a skeleton of Its former self.
Now the people living along the
roads leading to both these en-
frances to Yellowstone park claim
that their tourist business has been
affected because of the condition of
h highways being misrepresented
and they + seriously considering
a law that will fine a man or put
him in jail for incorporating the
condition of highways.
According to those who have had
experience with tourists road CON
ditions r much a matter Of the
mind. What one traveller will refer
to as a devil" OF a road another
will smile at and say 1t isn't so bad
not half rs bad as some other
road he has been over. Even state
reports. where efforts at impartiality
are made. r not always accurate
because frequently those who report
the condition of highways to state
bureaus are not adverse to making
long guesses or taking it for granted
that everything is all right.
