PAIGE BLAZES
FAMOUS TRAIL

| Our empire builders are as ac-
| lively engeged in the western coun-
! try as in the days of the early set
tiers. Most of the work Of linking
| the little known sections with the
open world in this age however, is
confined to highway construction.
Where railroads have proven that
paths can be forged through to great
! fertile districts or beautiful scenic
sections, the peoples of those parts
are engrossed in building automo-
bile roads that will attract the most
eXacting tourists. Thursday, Jan
uary %, 1924, marked the sending of
| the first automobile over the Wind
| River Canyon, Wyoming road. a sec
| ton of the Yellowstone National
Highway.
Make Historic Trip
| Behind the pioneer car We're 81
! other automobiles and nearly 100
persons enjoying historic trip
| through this beautiful scenic gorge
| five miles from Thermopolis. AS it's
| name suggests this is a city which
owes its existence largely to bottled
| up hot water. a part of which flows
from the ground in great fountains.
| The citizens are doing much toward
circulating proof of the healing pow
| j. possible for other Americans to
| enjoy the beauties of the section.
The new highway, which will be
| formally opened in May or June, is
also the last link connecting the
rich Big Horn Basin with the rest
OF the world. 1t Is a section COM
prising four countries hitherto iso-
lated from the rest of the state with
the exception Of one or two months
in the summer.
There were formerly only coupe
of passable roads even at this time
Of the year over the veritable noun
tain wall which surrounded the basin.
Break in Huge Wall
Only at one point is there a break
in the huge wall-the grand gorge
known as Wind River Canyon where
the Big Horn river finds it's way
through. At many points the canyon
was so narrow that solid cliffs OF rock
rose sheer from the waters edge on
either side.
A railroad building its continental
line through Wyoming found the
canyon the most serious obstacle
with which it had to contend. The
water grade through Wind River
Canyon was tried and IL miles or rail
through the gorge was built at what
was then considered an enormous ex-
pense. The railroad officials were
thoroughly satisfied as they consid-
cred that It give them the best
southeastern northwest line across
the continent.
When a highway was considered
into the Big Horn Basin only the
same course lay open. The story of
the building of this roadway reads
like a romance, Obstacles regarded
as beyond the ingenuity of man were
overcome. Financial. as we'll as
moral backing was required from the
entire country through which the
Yellowstone Trail was laid out.

Essex and the type of car known
as the coach. The coach is Hudson
Essex. and Hudson Essex is the
coach.
THE Society," Of /Automotive En-
gincers now has recognized the
coach. and has formally defined II
as distinctive type. But the best
definition is the one given by Hud-
SON. Essex when they invented the
coach. 1t is a car which gives
closed car comforts at open car cost.
There is a Hudson Coach and an
Essex Coach. They are just alike
in their comfort, their durability
end their all season usefulness. The
Essex Is just so much Hudson, and
a man can make up his mind on
whether to buy a Hudson or Essex
coach purely on the issue Of how
much he wishes to pay.
1.-The Coach is an exclusive Hud-
SON. Essex product. Despite the
popularity of Hudson Essex open
cars and the Hudson sedan, the
coach Is the car which makes up the
very great bulk OF Hudson Essex

Prince of Wales
Prepares for Trip
To United States

London, Aug. Ply A. P.)-The
Prince of Wales spent an uncommonly
busy day packing his personal belong
ings for his second trip to the United
States and receiving many OF his init
mate friends who called to wish him
bon voyage"
At 10 o'clock this morning he sud
denly found it necessary TO make more
purchases of various essential travel
ing articles, notably Of suitcases TO
hold his many belongings. He da shed
into Picardilly, driving his own little
two-seated motorcar, and rushed up to
sedate little leather store. There he
startled the employees by hurriedly
asking for the manager and exclaim-
ing; II am in a terrible hurry. 1 want
some more cases to pack my things in. &"
After looking at several travelling
cases the prince selected two, paid for
them, after declining the shopkeeper's
offer to send them to Wales home,
grabbed them in both hands and trot-
ted back to his car. Then he drove
back to st. James Palace to resume
his packing.
At Southampton tonight everything
was in readiness to receive the heir to
the British throne on board the liner
Berengaria when he arrives there early
Saturday afternoon. The last touches
were put today on the special decora-
tons which have been carried out on
board the ship.
The Cunard company has taken the
greatest pains that nothing should be
omitted which might make the princes
voyage a pleasant one. The entire suite
which the royal passenger will occupy
can he isolated at will from the re-
| mainder Of the vessels accommoda-
tions, but it is fully expected that the
prince will participate in the custom
airy life of the liner and will take his
meals in the regular dining room.
