Chamber Hears Plans
For LOIO Pass Caravan

Officials of the u. S. Bureau
of Public Roads will accompany
the tour, as will movie stars from
the RKO lot in Hollywood.
Disclosing these plans to the
members of the Kennewick Cham
Der of Commerce Thursday, Mrs.
Margaret Thompson, secretary of
the conservation league, extend
ed an invitation to Kennewick
residents to accompany the trip.
She cautioned, however, that
persons making the drive should
provide their own transportation
and camp equipment. Meals will
be available at points along the
caravan route.
A program highlighting the
need for the proposed Lewis and
Clark tourway will be presented
at Sacajawea Park upon the ar
rival of the caravan on the even
ing of Thursday, August 2, UNI
der the direction of Hill Williams
of Pasco, president of the Lewis
and Clark chapter of the North
west Conservation League.
On the following morning, Mrs.
Thompson said, the caravan will
roll on toward Lolo pass, and
Missoula, which should be reach
ed on Sunday, August 10. A
representative of the u. S. For
restry Service will accompany the
tour to guide the party and to
point out noteworthy aspects of
the projected route, which will
follow almost exactly that taken
by Lewis and Clark in their his
toric exploration Of the North
west.
The Lewis and Clark memorial
tourway is planned as a great
limited access highway, Mrs.
Thompson told the Chamber of
Commerce. Recommendations of
the conservation league, call the
exercise of the utmost care in
protecting the natural scenic beau
ty of the route, and for the plan
ned and orderly development of
businesses at designated points
only.
'sProper road protection" Mrs.
Thompson said, "is a responsible
lily of the state, because the
state has a great investment to
protect"
She estimated that the pro-
posed tourway would attract a
volume of tourist travel that
would sky-rocket Washington's
present 80 million dollar tourist
industry to a possible 160 million
dollar business.

Asked what price the same steer
might have brought in 1899 he
believed it would have sold for
little more than a third of that
price.

IMPROVEMENTS
The bank has improved its SER
vice for depositors to the ex-
tent that deposits may now be
made by mail for the conven-
fence of patrons. However there
are many business places that
stay Omen until late hours and
are naturally faced with the situa-
ton Of fiding some means to pro-

We doubt if there is a publisher
Of a weekly newspaper in the
state who even knows how to

such a device might prove help
ful to many local business men.
