region a place among Americas
Fairgrounds which is of great in
terest to the easterner and it is
up to the dude rancher to keep
alive the interest in frontier lore
through prope advertising. Gov.
Frank c.. Emerson of Wyoming
told the members of the associa-
ton.
The Wyoming governor spoke of
the recreational facilities of the
two states and gave his impression
of the west when he came to his
state 80 years ago after finishing
college. The thrill of the wild
western country became known to
him the first winter he was in Wyo-
ming, he said, and it was not with
out a great degree of fascination
that he lived in the mountain
country.
Retaining the SAVIOUR of the old
west. it's Indian lore, pioneer tales
and incidents of the days which
the easterner usually connects with
this country. is a problem of the
dude ranchers. the governor said,
referring to the delicacy of the
situation arising from the fact that
other Industries and must
be developed and a "happy medium
impression must be made upon the
easterner.
Every section of the country
has something of benefit to the
nation" Governor Emerson said.
"Out here we have the great out
of doors and we are putting this
great to count. This seem
cry Of the mountain regions and
it's recreational facilities will not
depricate to a great extent as a
Ass and there will be increasing
numbers of those who come to see
us. The things that appeal to the
rest of the world when thinking
of the west + those which they
already have in mind as character
istic of this country-the Indian
lore. cowboys and tradition of the
west. The problem is to know
how far to so in advertising the
old west and not have it over
shadow the other things we have
here"
I'VE want to develop all our
and industries, but we
also want to keep the tradition of
the old west alive"
The question of rates was briefly
discussed. 1t was the general opin-
ion that charges were a matter for
each member to work out, but at
tention was called to the fact that
the conveniences which were now
being installed by most ranches
call for higher rates and hat the
dudes" are usually more than
willing to pay for these. Other
questions discussed were personal
liability for accidents to employees
and visitors, and fire insurance
rates on ranch buildings.
Forest Men Speak
A discussion of problems of mu-
tual interest to the forest service
and the ranchers was held with
three supervisors, r. T. Ferguson
of the Beartooth forest. Fred Agee
of the Big Horn forest and ]. N.
Langworthy of the Shoshone forest.
taking part in the discussion. Pro-
cedure in taking up subjects were
discussed. including arrangements,
for joint meetings of advisory
boards of stockmen's associations
and representatives of resort own
ers, to work out points of issue.
Alva A. Simpson of the Custer
forest attended earlier meetings.
Mr.. Lansworthy in asking for
cooperation in working out these
problems, said thai livestock men
who have held a sheep or cattle
range for long periods. would in
general be protected in their prior
ity, and that the government, by
granting long leases, had embarked
on a policy of greater -permanency.
The government, however, does not
desire TO increase stock range be-
yond its present holdings at the
expense of wild life. The two in
dustries must adopt a policy of
live and let live and be willing
TO adjust their conflicts, he said.
Governors of both Montana and
Wyoming gave recognition to the
Importance of the dude ranch"
industry in the two states by their
attendance Saturday. Gov. Frank
G. Emereon of Wyoming arrived
from Sheridan, Wyo.. early in the
