CIRCLE TOUR
FOR TOURISTS
JUDGE v. II. STONE OF LANDER
ADDRESSES CODY CLUB
MEMBERS

The building of an INLAND EN-
pire" in northwestern Wyoming and
the developing of the ''circle tour
for park visitors were the subjects
used by Judge V. II. Stone when
he addressed the members of the
club on Monday evening at a
dinner served by the members of
the Methodist Aid. Judge Stone is
"a prominent attorney of the Ere
mont county town, and is a ready
and fluent speaker. He has been
filling several speaking engagements
at Casper, Thermopolis, GreybuII
and other towns in the Big Horn
basin.
Judge Stone predicts that the
1925 season will see the greatest in
lux of tourists Wyoming has en-
1oyed an the history of the state.
and he is urging every means of
entertaining them that they may
stay within the boundaries of the
state as long as possible. Denver
claims that the tourists left $40
100000 in Colorado last year. Judge
Stone declared that Wyoming had
everything to offer these visitors
that Colorado has. and a great deal
more. He is advocating the circle
which If use by the tourists
VIII Keep them in the state twice
as long as should they enter or
exit from N of the other gate
ways. I'm Lander and out Cody"
or In Cody and out Lander" is the
slogan which Judge Stone SAYS Is
being used down in his county and
ne is urging that the entire state
use influence to keep tourists on
Wyoming roads.
Judge Stone is a LAWYER and n
farmer. He is also a booster for
the auto tourist, for to this Lander
booster the tourist represents on ad-
ditional crop which may be harvest
ed at a time when it will moi inter
fere with other state industries
The tourist not only represents an
additional crop to the people of
wyoming, but he furnishes the state
one of the things most keenly need
home market for much of
its produce. The farmer should be
as anxious for the tourist as the
townsman, because the tourist con-
sumes his products and leaves cash
behind to pay for it.
The Inland Empire" which is a
creation of the Federated club of
the Big Horn Basin, is something
which should be developed to the
full In northwestern Wyoming. The
counties of the Big Horn county and
Fremont county comprise an area
in the state which represents every
industry in Wyoming. 1t is an en-
pire in itself. 1t represents a por-
ton of Wyoming which has attrac-
lions enjoyed by no other state in
the Rocky Mountain region, and with
a closer organization, better buying
and marketing facilities, it can build
a power in the state which will de-
mand attention. Judge Stone is
talking "Wyoming's Inland Empire
wherever he goes, and boosters such
as he will do much to make it a
reality.
Judge Stone is a versatile sneak
er. While he came here to speak
principally for a closer cooperation
In this section of Wyoming, and for
greater activity to get the auto
tourist headed thru the state, he
told some very interesting truths
relative to the Wyoming pioneer. OF
the sturdy quality of the men who
have pioneered America and Wyom-
ing; of the Thorobreds and the
Scrubs, whose qualities he has made
a keen study. He is a very inter
esting speaker and the members of
the Cody club keenly regret thai he
could not have talked longer on
Monday evening.
h ladies of the church served
a very fine dinner which was fully
enjoyed by those present.
