Vainly seeking to find words to
express their delight in the New
Red Lodge highway, five Eastern
ers arrived in Red Lodge from
Yellowstone Park on one of the
new park transportation buses
Wednesday afternoon and left on
the Northern Pacific Pullman for
further vocational points.
The advent marked the first
Yellowstone Park to Red Lodge
service of the season under the
new pullman program and, if the
Easterners are to be believed, the
ride over the highway ''beats
everything, yet"
What words failed to adequately
express, unsurpassed light of de-
light in the tourists eyes more
than told of the pleasure in
travelling over the highway.
First ones interviewed on the
journey were Mr.. and Mrs. ii. J.
Jansen, tourists from Brooklyn,
N. Y. -. 81. Il
"Why there is absolutely nothing
like. it. We never dreamed such
a truly gorgeous and thrilling
road could ever be built" they
chorused. ssWait until the word
gets around how beautiful the new
road really is-then you won't be
able to take care of all of those
who come" .-*
To Mr.. Jansen goes the honor
of holding tickets No. l and No.
2, the first purchased for the SER
vice coming to Red Lodge from
Yellowstone. He was very en-
thusiastic.
81 wonder if there's any way
can keep these tickets after they
are used," he unused: F'I'd like to
keep them-they'l be quite a
some day. The first
tickets for that marvellous road
are something to keep"

ings, but you can't drive over them
to see constantly changing panO-
rama of gorges and rises-as one
can on the new highway--and

'NOTHING'S WET
HERE Elk CEPTING
"A FEW TONSILS

If Red Lodge has experienced
a flood, the citizens are unaware
of it.
Thus they are amused at an As
sOciated Press story emanating
from Washington, d. C. which
states that Senator James E. Muir
ray announces federal agencies are
taking immediate steps to provide
Assistance to Billings, Red Lodge
and other flooded southeastern
Montana communities" ..-....
While Red Lodge had torrents
of rain the high altitude caused
the water to speedily flow north.
Not even damp basement was
reported here. Rock creek, flow
ing through the city, did not rise
above the banks.
So the citizens request of fed
eral agencies that if they must see
about a flood please help the city
get flooded with tourists.

$50 Men viii Aid
in Cricket Drive
For Rest Re Of June

Word has been received by o.
P. Roberts, county extension
agent, from, Mr.. Harlow B. Mills
who is in charge of the Mormon
Cricket control work in the state,
to the effect that Carbon County's
source of cricket fighters could be
increased to that of 130 men for
the rest Of the month of June,
with no assurance of any further
labor after June 30th. These
men have been assigned by Mr..
Herman Holzum and Mr.. John
Fiveland to certain districts where
the need was considered greatest
by these two supervisors men,
toned.
Some changes have been made
necessary through the reopening
of this cricket project. Laborers
in the cricket control work will be
used for 8 hour days from the
time they are put on the shift, ac-
cording to weather conditions. No
man will be paid if he goes to work
without being assigned definitely
and directly by either Mr.. Herman
Holzum or Mr.. John Fiveland. As
far as possible, Resettlement men
will be used. Very few, if any,
other laborers will be requisitioned5
since the number allowed Carbon
County is now much smaller than
when the peak load was carried
when the cricket fighting was ait
it's heigth. There will be no
changing of time as there was in
the past and if there is any extra
time spent, it will have to be vol
untary labor, other than the g.
hours per day.
Since the cessation of rainy

becoming quite active and are be-
