NATIONAL PARK
HIGHWAY PLANS
TO BE BOOSTED
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 9.—Repre
sentatives of eleven Western states
are on their way to Yellowstone
| park today to attend a conference
i which will open tomorrow, called
jfor the purpose of advancing the
(United States interior department's
(project of joining together the na
tional parks with a motor highway.
iThe meeting will last two days.
Good roads experts, enthusiasts
jand commercial club presidents are
coming from the principal cities of
the West to meet with the national
park service officials. The motor
highway, the first link of which al
ready has been opened between Yel
lowstone and Glacier parks, is de
signed by Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane as a means of
keeping American vacation dollars at
jhome instead of allowing them to
go abroad.
In speaking recently of the need
for the convention, Senator T. J
Walsh of Montana said:
"Governments of Europe are pre
paring for their greatest tourist
years as soon as passports are again
| freely issued. Europe has been
(vastly advertised by the war. Be
fore the war, §250,000,000 was
j spent by Americans in foreign lands.
I Unless the government of the United
| States does something to keep her
people at home, the national parks
and resorts of the West may be de
serted in the years just ahead.
! “Accordingly the interior depart
ment has been aroused to the point
! of meeting Europe’s tourist propa
I ganda. One of the expedients is an
automobile highway connecting the
.national parks and monuments. This
'will help keep the tide of tourists,
which r.cw is turned westward, com
ing our way. The co-operation of
the Western states liberally extend
ed to the Government at this time
will repay them a thousand times.”
To lead the tourist cars from park
to park, big motor busses are to be
! operated over the highway selected
by the Government. Already Yel
lowstone and Glacier park busses
maintain a regular schedule between
these two great parks, making the
two-day trip semi-weekly. The busses
: follow the new Geysers-to-Glaeiers
i trail, which passes through Gardiner
Livingston, Bozeman, Boulder, Hel
ena. Townsend, Augusta, Gilman
Choteau, DuPuyer, and Browning
and gives the tourist a scenic tout
j straight across Montana over the
best roads in the state.
As a preliminary to the confer
ence at Yellowstone park, scout car:
>ifrom Helena and Denver are mak
ling tours between Yellowstone anc
Rock Mountain park, with nationa
park service officials.
As fast as the Government car
act and the transportation systenr
be developed, park busses will b(
operated over the park-te-park roac
j. to tie together Rainier Nationa
park, Crater Lake, Sequoia, Yosemi
te, the Grank Canyon, and, in fact
all the park, monuments and resort
of interest to tourists in a Westerr
i tour.
It is to develop this highway sys
,tem that the conference has beei
j called. The states to be represent
^ed are: California, Colorado, Mon
itana, LTtah, Oregon, Arizona, Wash
lington, Wyoming, North and Soutl
Dakota, Idaho, and Nevada.

NOME ENDORSES
PLANS TO HELP
NORTH FORWARD
The movement started by the Xe
nana Commercial club for the or
ganization of an Alaskan Chamber
of Commerce, composed of the Com
mercial bodies of the various Alas
kan towns, is receiving favorable
consideration in a number of sec
tions of the territory, the latest en
dorsement of the plan having come
| from the Nome-Seward Peninsula
Chamber of Commerce, to which the
local club appealed for co-operation
some time ago.
In a letter addressed to the Xe
nana Commercial club, and read at
the regular semi-monthly meeting of
the organization last night, the Xome
chamber says that the importance
of having a central body through
which to work for needed reforms
and teritorial aids was realized at
X'ome a long time ago, and that an
attempt was made three years ago
to interest Alaskans in the move
ment. “But,” explains the letter,
“owing to our isolation and distance
from the rest of Alaska, our efforts
resulted in nothing.”
“We appreciate,” continues the
letter, “the importance of having an
Alaskan body which could voice the
sentiment of the commercial, mining,
and professional interests, and could
we induce the Government to at
lease give our bodies press rates
over the wires, we could assist more
efficiently and economically all ter
ritorial enterprises, and further the
development of our resources.”
The letter calls attention to a
number of needed reforms, to ob
tain which the Nome organization
would welcome the opportunity to
co-operate. The Xome chamber be
lieves that the adoption of a parcel
post zone system is necessary, and
that the territory should have liberal
federal assistance in road building.
It believes also in the prefection of
a government owned, managed and
operated system of water transporta
tion, the reorganization of the mail
system, the completion and exten
sion of the Government railroad sys
tem in Alaska, and the readjust
ment of the gold standard to the
high cost of present-day production,
either by direct bonus or by sub
sidy.
"We could mention many other
necessary needs for Alaska,” con
cludes the letter, "and local needs
as well, that a non-political organ
• ization could bring to the attention
. of the proper authorities with bene
fit to Alaska, with the assurance
. that results would follow much more
i quickly than under present condi
. tions.”
