Dear RBY ,
Sit down before you get to the bottom ot t he page
and .ee who this letter is from , otherwise you may pas.
out and injure yourself .
I ~ve been foroed to spend much of my dayl ight time
out at town during the past few weeks , and by tho time I
reached home long atter da7k each n1ght I have been just
too bushed to wri t e any letters .
I w111 start by g1v1ng you my imprecsions of the
Trecker contraot . 1 . I teel that t here Ihould be a detinite time limit plaoed upon the filming of this project. 2 . I feel that M . Treokers minimum expense of tourty
r
dollars a day is a littl e out of line , unless of oourae he
i . expect ing to take his whole f am11y on a nioe vaoat10n at
our expense . J . I do not see why M . Treoker ahould be given
r
full and tinal aWlhori ty aa to what soene9 should be filmed,
and as t o what is finall y ed1ted into our film .4. I cannot
see why we shoul d suppl y Mr . Trecker w
1th aPPl'ox1matoly
eight thousand feet of f11m from which he will make a t1nal
f i lm ot less than three thousand feet for us and t hen m
ake
his own uso of the other five thou8& teet of film from
nd
Whioh .evernl area !'1lms oould very m,ll be made at our expense . In short I feel that t hi s oontract i 8 all in favor of
Mr . Treoker , and does not give U8 suffi cient proteotion .
Ilow for the ent1re promotion pr oject . Martin has t he ahow
on the road . He 1. up in Jaokson now, and fl>om his letters
and the money he has sent in I believe that we are at l a st
cn the way with 1t . Last week he sen t 1n $245 . 00 in oash
from a few he oontaoted on the way up throU{;h Montpelier
and Afton . He seems to be very enthusiastio about the Whol e
thing, but wanted this time up here to feel the program out
where the clubB were str ong, in or der to develope hie presentation botore he star ts out in earnest . A l in all I teel
l
that we are go1ng t o be suocessful with the whole thing . It
may take more time than we antioipated, but I am oonfident
that if we work hard a t it we will make it a suooe.s .

Ernie forwarded your letter of the 7th( addressed to Bentley and myself)
up here to Edmonton.
By now , you have no doubt reoel ved mine of the
8th br1.Dg1.Dg th1.Dgs upto-date as of that writing . At the moment there is very little else to
add except that things have sone off to a fairly good start here in
Edlllonton oonilider1.Dg that this is a large oity way up at the jumping ott
plaoe into practioally no where , and the end of paved roads in the Provieno8
Tourist tre4.
re to date has been so inoidental that even the motel
operators do not have "~aA understanding or appreoiation of the potential
and seam somewhat amaze'" to learB what similar oities in the States have
been able to aocomplish. The whole area is louzy RICH with oil money ,
whioh makes tourism l ook unimportant , at least at the moment . In faot the
Alberta Government just last week paid a "profit ehsr1.Dg" dividend to
every adult oitizen in the Provinoe ••• • 20 . 00 eaoh for a grand total
of 11 million. This was the oitizen' s split of profits aocumulated by
the Provinoial Government from Govt . Oil leases .
-
Have been work1.Dg with my su agent , Ed . ZllZZO: Leger who will oarry on
atter I leave . Only about halt a dozea memberships pioked up to date , but
like any large City it is a slow prooess . The population is 248 , 000
spread out over 42 . 6 square miles .
Have three pioture sponsorships at • 300 eaoh in the works v/hioh should
oome to a d'finite deoision by TUesday (the 17th) and then I will take
off leav1.Dg Leger to follow up on membership and listings .
AS 0 the Convention" .ws ••• wl have nothing new sinoe my last letter .
Last Sunday even1.Dg I wired \'lalt nng at Jaokson to advise me via letter
as to general progress and list of roservations . The reply may be av Galgar
by now awaiting my return , as I had planned to be there myself today.
I am going to oall Ernie tonight , and a ilvise him that I w111 be a couple of
days late and IP' there is a l etter from Jaokson will have him Dx read
it to me over the phone . I t I ge t any intormation from tonight ' s oall
will inclose i t with this before mail1.Dg . It not , will ad v ise you as
soon as it does arrive .
The way it looks now, I may not get to Jaokson until about the 30tll.
as it is too far to oome baok up here , and I mus t therefore get Alberta
tied up , piotures and all before I leave . I t the Jaokson folks have gone
ahead and done anything as per plans , a week will be ample time to get
the whole oonvention pllllgram polished off in good ahape ••• 1t they have
laid down on the .1 o~hen it will be another story Whioh I hate to even
think about .
Somehow , I will mannege to get a bulletin into the mail over this n en
week-cnd , whioh v,Ul be just two weeks before the oonvention . Am writ1.lls
key people in the Livingston to Logan area today urging tham to Drganiae
per&onal solioitation for convention registrations to all olub ~bdrs
etc .
Am ino+osing copy of a letter to
lyn Sergeant 'J! t he Arizona Development

Look~ like a tull week is time to get an a ir mail letter trom Jaokson
to Calgary. So ••• here I sit right on the spot a thousand miles trom
Jaokson with the oonvention opening three weeks trom today , a bulletin
to get out , and no intormation.
J!'rankly, knowing alt iJ)Cl ng , this situation soares hell out ot me, and
while it burns me up to have to put the ASsooiation to expense whioh
should be unneosssary, I do not see how ~ can possibly wait any ~onger
tor some word about the Convention p~ess , 80 I have plaoed a oall
tor Mr . King. There was no ..
answer , so I will keep on oalling
until I get hold ot him.
I want to get this letter to the P. O. sometime late toda¥, and it I get
hold ot King betore it has to be mailed , will inolude the Conve~ion
intormation . It I "do not hear trom him betore this has to be mailed , "
will get another letter out to you at onoe atter I have talked to him.
Ernie mentioned that I have mail trom you at Calgary which he will
torward today , and should reaoh me M
onday or Tuesday I'o!!ot knowing the
contents ot thiS mail , I oannot oomment on i t at thia wrltlng ~ ~

Sunday P
10:00 P .M. now , and I
w.o..J
r~~
just called W
alt again , but got no
answer . Earlier this afternoon Mrs . King told the operator
t hat W
alt was out hunting , and had a oooktail party date
this evening , but was expeoted home by nine- thirty.
Guess the old boy must hat;e had one too many and Mama
joined him, so will now wait till morning .
W
ill advise you soon as I hear trom him.

Re I Report No. 5-0
uu .. unlllllla .. u ..
Dear Bentley;
Inclosed are two reports • •• one listing paid. salell and. collections , and the other the
contracts accepted for tu:Jrure paymSlt .
This is the genera1 type ot torm which I plan to use aa a remittance adYia. in sending
the orders. They will also serve as a statement of commissions due me as well as a
statement of membership tee money owed to the parent organization on the sales included
in each report . For reference purpoaes , each rep:lrt will be munbered. in the upper right
corner and in each case the number w111 also be the dat. of the report which _111 make
them eally to tile .
up
On this first report No 5-6 I have brought the entire operation/to date by including
everything that has been tumed in 110 far . Since I plan to send theae reports in every
rew days , or at least once a week in the future, I w111 probably coneolidate the pa.id
and future ordera on the lIame form using a space at the bottom. to list the future' . Thill
bottom portion could alWayll be detached. 11 you prefer to keep separate files on the two
types of contractll .
In order to keep Bill Baas out of trouble, it will be hec easary to send the membership
dues checks to ms so that I can supply the list of memberships covered, and remit t . Bill
_ in the usual manner on my regular "Remittance Advise" fol"&.. Wake these checks out to
the International Asan. and. always make a notation on the check including my report number
like this •••• " 4 dues No 5-0" • You can mark your check number on your copy of my report
showing the date the item waa paid and I will do the same on rq copy of the report and
this will give us a simple but easil)' audited set of double records . Aa soon aa I get
time , I will unload the duplicator and run off a batch of these forma so that our aystem
will remain uniform.
On the coll1rlissions , we will use the same aystem. For my record I plan to use a double entry
ledger sheet and with each report sent to you I will. make a charge against the Promotion
Fund(Report No 5-0 ••• •• $J77 .JJ) and will enter a credit as the itemd are paid.
In order to .peed things up, I am going to make every effort to secure lcae sub-agents.
It possible, I would like to leave a coiple working here down South while I am up
North during late June, JUly, and August . These agents Will eubmit their reports to me ,
and I will include t heir business along with mine on the reports I send to you . All
commissions will be paid to me, and I in turn will pay my own sub-agents and keep my
CMa books and recorda on these transactions .
As to my debt to the Committee for advance draws • •• I dis cussed this with mr additor
before leaving Salt Lake and he advises me as follows: In keeping my tax records , he
will list this aivanca as Ugross incoman(which it really i8) and then balanc e the dtem
by charging it off as "expense" as it is rapa1d by me . To keep the record simple and 8>1"8
accurate, he recommends that I repay this advance in instal1.m.enh by personal check
rather than have it deducted. !'rom eamed. conmis3 i ons . If I am correct, this figure is
$ JJ.2O. 77 ( $ 1200 draw plus S 220 . 77 ""Peo.e advance) . It TOU &Uoo that t his oy.tem
will be satisfactory, I will enter the item on my ledger as a liability under "accounts
payable tl and will li.:quidate it by check in installments at intervals and in such aJD:)unts
as I can afford. :tty contract calls for this debt to be refunded out ot the final
settle:nent of total comniss i ons earned, but I believe it will be better for i l l concerned
to work it as suggested. above and start. paying it ott as s oon a.s I get my head above
water . It you choose, you could endorse rq cbecks and send thea on down to Bill BaS 8
as a means of liquidating the debt to the International Assn. It w111 simplify :your
accounting to pay rrq c011lDissions in tun as each report i8 received in keeping with the
"pay as 1OUu8GII system. Otherwise you would probably have to set up various "reserve
funds l1 to cover th1a and other liabilities which could become quite complicated in time.
P.S .
I will send notices to tne "Future Pay" a ccounts prior to the due date.

Inclosed are two Adve rtising orders- one from the JEWELL MOTEL with check
for $ 50.00 at tached and the other from the SWISS MOTEL with the notation
thet Mr. Emil G1euser hes agreed to mail his check to you within 30 days.
On W
ednesday, after leaving Dogan, I attended the Lions Club meeting at
Paris and solicited their 8uppor~ • All members present more or less
ag reed that the Club should spend around
250.00 to sponsor 8 picture
of their
Cavern 1Ibich they operate during the Summer as e fund
ra1s1ng proJeot. The matter was referred to the Boerd of Directors for
final deciSion, and a special mee ting of the Board w1ill1 be celled within
B few dfWS . They hove around . 750.00 in their speoial ·cavern Fund" and
our chances look good on this deal, e specially s1nce Mark Pugmire, Smith
Gertsllh , and seversl others of the Direotors are egler Members, and
are strong for the Idea.
*
After the Lions mee ting I wes invited to tell the story to
t~e
Board of
Direc tors of the Be8l" leke Valley Dalrym anB Coop Assn. who were allo
meeting Wedneeday nigh t. The Coop i ndioated thet they wouJdsupport the
Program, but wIll decide the amount at a later date . Mark 's dad is •
member of the Board, and M
ark w111 follow it up.
W heve set up an appOintment with the Bear Lake County Commissioners
e
for Monday. Frank Sor g at. has helped to or ganize a deleg ation w
hioh will
include repres entatives from the Montpelier Chamber of Commerce, .everal
89 1 er members who are pretty heavy taxpayers, and representatives of the
Paris Li ons Club will also a ttend. W plan to ask the Commissioners for
e
a few hundred dollars to publioize the ares and sponsor a pioture of
Bear Lake in the brochure. The Commission hes vote. money to support
similar projecta in the~past , end Fronk seems tot~ink thet we will
ge t something f rom them,
Hed planned to get on over to Afton Smurday, but have stayed over in
Montpelier to attend the M
onday Commission meeting. Del Taysom has
arranged to g et the Officers of the Star Valley Club toge ther to meet
wi th me on Tuesday for the purpose of planning a fund- raising drive in
Star Valley in aupport of the Promotional Program. I will try to pick
up s few listings from some of the pre sent members a nd ge t the Club
star ted on a campaign to raise a o ommuni ty jack- pot .
I will then try to get Jackson Hole set u. the same way ••• picking up
wha t li s tings I oan in a ooup1e of days and try to get the. Club to follow
thru with their County Commission end other prospeotive supporters .
I have, of course made other contaots with individual members here in
Montpelie r, and heve a few promise. of future support. Ross Clerk, for
example wants to weit until his father, who i s out of town at present
gets a chenoe to look it over.
During this next week, I hope to get things started pretty well from
Montpelier to J eckson ao that so. . progress will be made while I am
working down in Ar izono .
Should be seeing you in Logan the end of the week, or Mond ay AM at the
very latest.

Dear Bentley:
The deal with the Yellowstone Park Co , Hamilton Stores , and H~ines
Studio is in the work. but we will not know the answer for a week
or so "
Due to .eriou. illness of the !I"I father of the Y. P . CO . President
and the rush of the .eason in the park , it became impo.sible to get
them all three together , and from the way thing. looked , this could
never be accompli.hed on a matter of this kind ••• • o I did the next
best thing .
Don .atkins , the public relations man for the yP CO . spend. considerable
time in the Park and sees a l lot these three men from time tmtime .
r have appointed him as a sub- agent to follow thru on the deal, which
he has agreed to do . It will . Ie co.t a commission , but will be the
be.t way to handle it , because I could probably .pend a week running
them down , and he bump. into tham by accident .
In the meantime , I got a .tart in Gardiner. Charlie ~ ~ tin came down
trom Livingston to the Chamber meeting , and we got some resul ts as
you will I. note"trom the report.
I called Ernie S~an , and learned that he will be out of town for
a week , but is etpecting me around the 15th to 20th . He .aid that he
will be able to spend some time with me then , and that it would give u.
plenty ot time .ince motel. there do not clo.e till about the middle of
September .
In the meant~e , Charlie will .pend .ome time with me in Montana
getting a start and will help me try to locate a sub- agent to follow
thru while I am in Alberta. IVe are of cour.e a.suming that the vote
on the increased commission will be favorable . I also mentioned this
to Ernie , and he thinks we m18ht be able to locate .omeone to sell
the individual li.ting. and .olicite member.hip in Alberta after the
key contaots have been made .
There i. a big potential here in J a ck.on Hole yet , but .low work
due to the ru.h and contusion . Look. like I will have to do what I
can pp until about Thur.day ot next week , then fini.h up Gardiner
on Fri . and Sat . and go on up to Living.ton on Sunday for a few day.
with Charlie who will probably travel a. tar north with me as Great
Falls . Then to Alberta .
It I am able to locate .ome .ub-agents to leave behing in Jackson ,
Montana , and Alberta , we will really be in business but I KNOW
they are going to be hard to tind , even with an attractive commis.ion
to otter .
Shoot my check back via air mail a. soon as po •• ible and also any
dope you may have on the progress of the ballot etc. ! I thought that
Ray may have called you) .ince I have had no word .

Dear Bentley:
No wor ~ having been received regarding the outcome of the ballot on the
increased sales commission , and in ~iew of the fact that Cecil Grad was
ready to go t o work , Er nie decided to phone Ray to find out how the
matter stood so that I would be a position to negotiate with the man .
Ray advised us tha t the necessary six (2/3) ballots had been cast in
favor without a It NO" vote except Charlie Martin , who thru error had
signed in the wrong space . Charlie intended to vote "YES" , and advised me
that he had done so when I was in Livingston . He is sending in a new
ballot properly ma'rked to ma.ke i t legal .
On the strength of this information , I have proceeded to hir e Mr . Orad
and, and am running classified ads . in Great Falls and Livingston .
On the attached report , I have listed the "sub- agent" sales first and
drawn a . . 7. sub- total showing the 50% ba siness . My personal 33 1/3%
business follows with the total commission due (both kinds) listed at
the bottom. This I thin~ will work out O, K., unless you have other ideas .
On these orders , I worked with Orad helping him make the sales etc . but
had him sign the receipt part of the order which will indicate to
you that they are "sub'!'agent sales" For auditing purposes , the signature
of the sub-agent on these and future contracts will be your authorization
to pay the 50% s~es commission under the terms of the revised contract .
~
Speaking of the contract , I guess Bill Bass never found the two copies
Ray claims, he mailed for signature . Fortunately , I retained a third copy
and will d~aw up something new. including the amendment . This I will do
as soon as I find time , and send them along to you ·for approval . You then
can send them down to Ray for signature • •• or it there is any p6int in
question , you and I and Ray can work it out when we meet in Jackson.
*************
In making out this report , I have assumed that by mow you have mailes
the commission due on Report No . 8-17 send a week ago Monday from
Browning , and therefore did not show it as a"balance duel! on this
current report .
Char l le Martin called me here inhaggary the other night to tell me that
the Chamber boa~d had not been ~ble to meet yet , as they had planned ,
so in the event you had been holding payment waiting to include the commissi
on the Livingston CLof C. grant , wait no lomg*r • Funds are low , and
.
getting lower , so shoot up a check for the works including this No . 8- 27
report right away , as it wilm be a hell of a tight squeeze until these
prospective $ 300 checks begin to roll in . Exchange is at an all- time
high , and it costs $ 1 . 06 in good old U. S . currency to buy a Canadian
dollar bill .
You will note that most of these "checques" as they call them up here
Iii
have instructions written on them to the effect th~t they are payable
~i
in II U.S . Currency" • On those which do not carry this notation , you
should get an extra premium o~ anwhere from 4% up upon deposit at Logan.
Ernie and I will be back in Calgery Friday , the 30th, and I will have to
get up the ug report for Bil~BaSS , so don ' t forget the dues ~heck also .

]'ROM : M. B. Cantwell
SUBJECT : Special request re payment of commission mn three financial
grants included in Report No . 8- 31 , attached .
************************************************************************
Since the first of August , the majority of my time has been spent in
concluding Convention arrangements at Jackson t preliminary"missianaryU
effort in Gardiner , Livingston , Choteau , and Great Falls Montana and here
in Alberta working with sUb- agents and making key contaots with Vice- Fres .
Saean in Calgary , Red Deer , Banff , and Edmonton.
Considerable of my time was wasted at Jackson in the non-productive job
of getting the Convention arrangements brought to a head in which I was
a victim of circumstances beyond my control which offered no alternative
except to stick it out . I can assure you that our Convention arrangements
would have been in a sad state by now had I not stayed with it .
The missionary work done in Montana shows promise of resUlting in
tangible support when I have the opportunity to follow thru .
. W.""
To date the potential support in Alberta , and the favorable reception
given indicates a final total far in excess of Ernie's most optimistio
estimate .
Three sponsorship grants of $ 300 each have been given final approval
and tour others , also for $ )00 each , have been favorably recommended
and are now pending official approval . Sub- agents have been apPointed
in Calgary and Edmonton( The President of the local Motel Assn. in each
City) and some 15 lines of listings by new members have been either
paid for , or pledged pending a follow- up call . In addition , solioitation
has been started on several other sizeable financial grants other than
those mentioned above but as yet have not attained a secure enough
status to be reported as ~potential" at this time .
!
•
In spite of all this good work , we have taken in very little tlcash money"
as of now. I am sure it does not require a detailed explination as to why
we cannot put the "rush act" on these organizations or high pressure such
customers as the Provincial Government, Chamber of Commerce , and Calgary
City Government into upsetting their normal accounting routine by insisting
that they hand us the cash with the order . We are happy to have our grants
officially approvea with payment to follow as soon as it can be cleared
thru channels .
As a result of the foregoing , I have been unable to hold up my ob ~ igations
at home which has aggravated an already strained situation since it was
never in our plans that I was to spend weeks on end away . During the entire
month of August , I have actually only received one check ( $ 200-Report
No . 8- 1) from the Promotion , and have only a total of $ 185 actually
due from reports Nos . 8- 17 , 27 , 31 a major portion of which is owed to
sub- agents . I am therefore in a serious and embarrassing financial position
requiring immediate relief .
In view of all the above , I am faced with the necessity of making this
speCial requewt to the effect that I be paid the commission on the three
financial grants included on the attached current report now, rather than
waiting until the checks ~ have actuall y been received , which would of
course be the normal perceedure .
�BENTLEY MITCHELL
August 31 - Page 2
All three of these grants have been officially ap proved , and the checks
will be mailed as soon as they can clear routine ac counting proceedure .
The contracts inclosed do not contain actual signatures for the reason
that you simply do not insist that people like Provincial Ministers
"sign onn the dotted linelt and in the case of City Council meetings
and Chamber meetings , the mat l.. er is approved by motion following our
presentation and diSCUSSion! which usu~lly takes up more of their time
than they had planned , and t woUld not therefore be good ju4gement to
intrude further by holding the meeting up to get a contract signed .
I have no reason whatsosver to expect that you would doubt my word
regarding these contracts , but from the standpoint of providing you
with moral support , Ernie has suggested that he also should , as a
Corporati on Vice-Presi dent verify the
my request . His letter is attached .
contracts , and endorse
As your authority in this matter I quote from the minutes of the Directors
meeting at Afton which authorizes our committee to !tdo all things necessary
in the pranotion , production t and completion of the program , etc" and also
deSignates you to administer the financial transactions . Burnett's official
resignation will soon be on file to facilitate his replacement , which
leaves a three man committee , and I am sure that Frank would not oppose
a little detail matter of this kind .
I was very much m4fraid that a situation like this would eventually come
up , and that ' s the reason why I' was anxious to set up some sort of a
finance plan , in the case we han a lot of business pledged for future
payment ••• n&
tes , however would not apply in the present case , since the
payment of the grants will follow shortly , and it is not a case of the
sponsors being short of funds .
The $ 300 . 00 commission ot these grants will just pass thru my hands
to take the pressure off at the moment , and will therefore not put me in
a comgortable position for long . While we are on the matter , I would
therefore like to request that you also consider the possibility of
making it routine to pay commissions on these larger contraot s in cases
where the grant has been officially and finally approved and the matter
of issuing the check is in the works . I persobally cannot see any possible
objection to it , aw long as the ac count balance can afford to hol d the
bag for a week or so until the check arrives .
From my standpoint , it woul d take a great load off my mind, especially
since I will devote most of my efforts in the solicitation of these
large chunks now , and leave the line listings tor t¥e sub- agents to tollow
up . This is the only way we will ever get the job done .
From all indications , we will usually have to wait a short period for
the check afeer the grant haw been approved which would kee~ me in hot
water most of the time . Traveling expenses total practically $ 100 per
week , and I have obligations of about $ 400 monthly in Salt Lake City ,
so you can see where I really have to keep it comming in to enjoy any
peace of mind . In addition, I will be moving pretty fast, and even after
you receive the checks , you would in m
ost cases have to ~ wait until
you heard from me in order to send the commission. On my reports , I will
always be able to give a current address , and could get my commissions fast
if you were to pay on approved contracts upon receipt of the report .
�BENTLEY MITCHELL
August 31 - Page 3
Anothe» advantage is the fact that I would like to be in a position to
give my sub- agents a check for their commission as soon as they turn in
the paid orders . This will help keep their morale up and on the job.
5 it is now, I cannot afford to do this , and have to ask them to wait ~
until I get it back from you and Bill Bass ••• I can ' t send the membership
fees to Bass till I get it back from you , so it makes it a hell of a long
way around the pond ••• and it will get more involved the more sub- agents
I get and leave mil es behind me . If I can get full commissions advanced
on my good contracts , I could probably be able to payoff the SUb- agents
and hold the bag until I get it back from you .
I hope I have made myself clear ••• this letter is getting pretty long
and invol ved . This request applies ONLY to good contracts in cases where
the grant has been approved , and the check is to tollow in short order .
It does not apply to the "future payment contracts" where the guy is
short of money and promises to mail the check in 60 or 90 days . On these
I would not expect commission until the bill . . is paid .
Ernie and I made a fast two day trip up to Edmonton and Red Deer U • '3
rushing back to attend the Calgary Commissioners meeting on Friday . I
have one or two deals to follow up here in Calgary right after Labor Day ,
which will fin i sh me up here . Ernie and Cecil Grad will follow thru in
Calgary , and I will p . ~ ceed to Red Deer for a day to make some motel
calls and then on to Edmonton to folloY! up on several grants that are in
the works , and train my Sub- agent there . Then to Jasper , Banff , Ft . MacLeod
etc .
I will have to stick around Calgary till I get hold of a good chunk of
money , so will conclude by ask ing you to wir e me the $ 300 requested on
the Report 8-31 grants , care of the Hepburn Motel . Also please include in
the wmre any commissions still unpaid from the two previous reports in
the event these checks have not been mailed , as well as the. 30 on Grad ' s

Arri ved in Ca~ary as per schedule Monday the 18th . found that Ernie
had a busy p~gram ~aid out. I had written him in advanoe asking him to
keep an eye open tor a sub- agent . and thru his efforts we were able to
sign up 01" Mr . Ceoil Grad , operator of the Gradell Mote l AND President
of the M,cel Association of Calgary . He is a very energetic sort of a
fellow .1th lots on enthasiasm , and popular with Calgary operators as
Well AS other businessmen.
He cannot , of course spend full time solioiting memberahip but wi ll be
able to do a good job for us since his court is small enou&b that his
Wifeland dallghter can can be left ti se" alone for hourjJ.. at a timBo
H e a so can make good. use of t~e money he will earno

o~g sn8%s an~ lining up picture sponsorship .
We have three pictures pretty well sewed up in Calgary at $ 300 per , but
final action is pending on eaoh with the decision to be reached within
the next few days, we hope . The1 are : the Chahber of Commerce ,
the
City of Calgary, and the Stampede and Exhibition Board . Meetings have
also been set up with several other organizations including the Alberta
~~~\ ~l Associatmon , the Restaurant Assn . eto .
The door has also been opened
with the Canadian Pacifio R. R. which operates the hotels at Banff and Lake
Louise and I will follow thru wit¥ th~ when I visit these resorts next
week o
Tomorrow ( W
ednesday) Ernie and I will go to Ed~onton where a meeting of
the local Motel Association has been called for us W
ednesday evening .
On the way up , we will attend a lunch at Red Deer . Thursday , we have
appOintments to meet Dan Campbell , head of the Alberts t ravel Bureau,
and the other Government brass . Dan has phoned us several times regarding
ideas he has on how to get some pretty go ~ d money out of one or more of
the Petroleum. Companies , and is quite excited over the whole deal .
All in all , we ha ve a wonderful potential lined up , and unless it all falls
down around out ears will cut a nice bit of hay here in Alberta .
}
The reception DaB been great everywhereo •• due to Ernies advance efforts
and popularity AND the fact that these people are apparently ripe for
this promotion. The ver y thought of several million, people visiting
Yellowstone each season ••• practioally in Alberta ' s front yard thrills them
with the possibility of attracting a percentage of these Yellowstone
visitors into Alberta .
We have had a million dollars worth of publicity and the inclosed EDITORIAL
from the Heral d , Calgary ' s leading daily newspaper would indicate that
we are turning out a pretty good selling job . It ' s really something for
a large daily in a City this size to give unqualified support to a promotion
in it ' s EDITORIAL colums (Salt Lake Papers please note)
IF we are lucky enough to secure anotheb top - notch sub-agent in Edmonton
this will take care of the two major large Cities where the going is the
slowest , and I will be free to cover the smaller communities and resorts
once I have spent a few days breaking him in . Cecil Grad here is Calgary
is about ready to go it on his own . These men will continue to work right
up until pr ess time with Ernie to give a little prod if they begin to
lose interest .

It has been said many
than mankind can never be
islated into goodness, and most
often the phrase has been used
in reply to well-meaning but
misguided minorities which
seek to impose their own defi·
nition of goodness on whole
populations.
Many of these groups operate
under some form of religious
sponsorship, and thus it was
teresting to observe the
marks of one Calgary mini'ste
on the subject during
day sermon.
Rev. C. A. ~~~,~lle~~~~~:'~
of Sl. Stephen's
Church, re-asserted the
sibility of goodness by
and he commented that
movements which seek
remove abuses, without
jog acceptable
.
themselves destined
tual disintegration.
The truth of Mr.
statement has been
before. Prior to D",hibl
the U.S. there were
abuses of the liquor
as there are today, but
stitute offere.dd~sii~n:i~;rC;'~ '
row-minded r
cd equally unpopular
suIt was more abuse
and prohibition's
itably followed.
Mr. McMullen m,.vll.,1e
thin~ing purely in
convinced that what
are getting is better than
they are giving up . It
be futile, for example. to
a law requiring everyone
~ .. '"enQchurch. The probable
would be to impair the
respect which churches
command in Ch ristian society.
The same thing is true in the
broader application of Mr. McMullen's message. If laws are
passed which penalize everyone to prevent abuses by a few,
then the law and the groups responsible for its creation will
both fall into general disrepute
and disfavor.
Laws there must be, to punish people who offend society
by unacceptable moral or physical conduct. The public supports. in fact demands. such
legislation. But the public will
not endorse laws which penalize everyone and Umit individual freedoms, unless it is convinced that the laws are sound.
The public must be convinced
o[ the basic need for any given
law if it is to succeed in its
purpose.
If one individual's behavior is
socially inadequate, it is pointless to try to improve him by
punishing someone else whose
behavior is perfectly all .right,
and this is the point which most
social legislation fails to consider.
When people improve, it is
by an inner conviction

Tourist Gold On The Trail Of 89
With a little imagination, and
by co-operation with US. and
Mexican tourist centres, AIberta could benefit greatly
from a scheme to promote the
"trail of 89."
The 89'ers International High·
way Association has been form ed with the idea of making a 6,500 mile route from Mexico to
the jun ction of the Alaska highway north of Edmonton a popular tourist route. Alberta's
Highway No.2, the main northsouth route in this province is
part of the picture.
As has been pointed out frequently iit these pages the pattern of tourist traffic is changing. Where once the best roads
to the few good mountain re·
5:orts led through Alberta, now
there are alternate routes and
alternate mountain resorts. The
province of British Columbia
has started a vast new highway
program and its interior resort
areas are developing rapidly.
Highway 97 runs through the
centre of B.C. from the U.S.
border to Alaska and in the U.S.
it runs south to California. At
present it is receiving publicity
and support from tourist groups
along the way who hope that
they will encourage much more
traffic over No. 97 Some of that
traffic might come to Alberta,
normally.
We are not suggesting that
there is not enough to go around,
or that Alberta should get in
some sort of petty fight
B.C. The thing is that Alberta
must make every effort it can
to cash in on the tourist trade
in spite o[ changing traffic pat·
terns. The Highway 89 plan is
one way in which Alberta can
get the advantap:e of widespread
publicity for the resorts and
facilities it has to offer the tour·
ist..Ken -Liddell, Herald columnist. who has devoted a. good
deal of attention to Alberta's
tourist problem, noted in a recent. story on the 89'ers Association that the plan is to divert
U.S. tourists into a north-south
pattern rather than an eastwest. The number of tourist
automobiles entering Yellowstone Park in the U.S. this year
was 1,000,000 by August 1. If
one car in three could be diverted to Glacier Park in Montana
then into Alberta via, say, Waterton, it would be a tremendous
boost to the Alberta tourist industry
Martin H. Cantwell, executive
secretary of the association is
visiting in Alberta tr.ying to get
groups and individuals along
Highway No. 2 to join the association. It would be very
much in Alberta's interest to
give him full co-operation.
Mr Cantwell says selling the
value of the tourist business is
a communi ty - to - community
problem. His remarks underline the necessity of a tourist
promotion bureau [or Calgary.

Dear Ray:

Have "holed up" here at Browning over the week end to try and get oa ught up
on letter writing and detail work , billing delinquent members , eto.
bet ore orossing the border Monday A. M to keep my appOintment with Ernie

at Calgary. Wlll probably have one hell of a time with the ouetoms

duplicating maohine , two foot lookers tull ot eto . eto., and all sorts
ot m.1soelaneous oar tons and paokages .
W
ith the Auguet Bulletin, Meeting Notioe , and billing put ot the way I
hope not to have to unpaok the whole ottioe again until I return to
US soil. Will try to get by with just answering mall that is luoky • • ••• ,
enough to oatoh up with me, and conaentrate on selling memberships and
advertising. Getting the oonvention plans brought to a head and getting
out ot Jaokson sure slowed things up.

I have been in touoh
th Ernie by phone , but a present have no idea
what suggested program he has planned tor me , and knowing nothing about
mail routing up there will have all mail> sent to the Hepburn. Ernie will
always know where to reaoh me .
I t either you or Bentley have written me regarding the outoome ot the
ballot , it has not reaohed me yet.
Upon leaving Jaokson , I gave
Livingston as the tordwarding address , and lett instruotions at Livingston
to send it on up to Calgary. It will take s everal additional days tor
mail to clear thru this routing , but I will eKentually get it at Calgary.
Bentley advieed me that he had talked with you by phone and that b the
ballots were mailed , I know that Ernie was out ot town tor about a week
and with the possibility that some ot the others might also have been
away, it oould happen that the neoessary six ballots have been slow in
arriving.
In antioipation that the response will be in tavor ot the proposal,
I ran ads . in the Livingston and Great Falla papers tor men , and also
wrote a letter to Er nie asking him to try and line someone up who oould
tollow thru in Albsrta after I have made the ksy calls .
In the best interests of both the ASsooiation and myselt I will try to
olose allot the deals with Chambers ot Commeroe eto . where a sizaabls
sum is involved mysel t so as to keep them in the )) 1/3~ braokst . There
may be a tew Oases where we will have to pay the 5~ on these , but I
will make every ~ttort to hold it to a ~

This is true ot even small communities like At~on , M
ontpelier , eto . and
will oertainly be even mor e so in the larger towns where you have less
luok ginding the boss at home , and have an unlimited number ot prospeots
to work on.
I have spent far too muoh time in some of the towns worked , and then with
the thoughts ot the long trail ahead sending oold ohills up my spine have
pulled out knowing t hat plenty more business oould have been picked up
if I dared stay longer.
The only answer geems to be to find someone in eaoh general area who
oan do tp;efollow- up work in his own town, and up and down the highway
in nearby towns. I f I oan find a couple who can make good in their
own area and have enough oonfidence to lullh" gambl e that they can make
enough to stand traveling expenses, I would enoourage them to move along
with me . I must , however a void the mess ot taking mea on the road who
might get finanoially stranded . I would be responsible for them , and to
date it has kept me plenty busy trying to support myself .
I got three answers to my adv. at Liv1ngston ••• none of whioh were suitable
prospeots f ~r the job , I just spent the night with Diok Fergus at G eat
r
Falls , and had to move on early tile next morning to keep a date at a
Chamber of Commeroe meeting at Choteau. The adv . had not finished 7MX~
running; and I left instruotions to have the replies, it any , sent to
Calgary.
,
For the present I must concentrate on getting Alberta cleaned up. ASI
head back down thru Montana , I will attempt to make the key oontaots
and l eave a sub- agent behind to follow thru. Charlie M
artin would Ao it
if could get away. Li ke everyone else up this way, he is havlnk help
trouble during the rush season . He had planned to oome north with me
for a stop at White Sulphur Springs , Great Falls , and to attend the
Chamber meeting at Choneau . ~ At the last minute , his night cook
went on a drunk , and Charlie had to work the shift , and is still probably
actiilg as manager by day and oook by night unless he has found another
chet .
Charlie spent considerable time with me during the several days I spent
at Livingston. The Chamber there is in poor tinanoial condition , but will
go for • 300 . 00 for a picture . The board is to mee t this week, and will
probably send in half then, and the rest in Ootober when the new fiscal
year starts . Charlie agreed to pay his $ 7; . 00 19;8 Chamber dues in
advance to help make up the first . 1;0 without running the ao count too
low.
About 2; turned out at the Chamber meeting in Choteau . W have no members
e
there , and it is a pretty good town of about 3 , 000 pppulation . They took
to the idea pretty well, and at their regular meeting on Tuesday ot this
week will appoint a membership oommittee , and also discuss ways and means
ot sponsoring a picture . Like a lot of Chambers, they h a ve appointed
Q.""H I ..... "' . . .. oomitties before , and little it anything happened according
to the ourrent president , so unless this time is different , I will probably
have to do the job over again when I return , and oan spend some time
following thru. The speoial 89 ' er meeting was Friday , and I oould ' nt stay
over till Tuesday, but lett all neoessary material etc . They will write me
after their Tuesday meeting , and Charlie will oome up and give th6ir
oommittee a push if he oan get off the night shift in his kitohen.
�J
I do not have too muoh taith that advertising in the papers will get
good sub- agents , as I have been thru this betore on similar projeots .
As a rule, ads. do not attract qualified people , beoause most everyone
who oan make a suooess ot this kind! ot work already has a good jo~ and
it ' s ea~y to pi ok up some pretty sliok oharaot ers it you 're not very

ay has been anxious to hear what Enrl.e has to repo'rt , an:! also if Bill Bass had sent
you the $ 4:"'0, so I thought I might as ,.,1111 ~end out a lit u.e report to all of the
Directors , which will also !lerve to bring you up-to-date .
e
Ernie sent his 30 for the adv. plus hie additional years nues in the form of a
postal money order made out to me p ~rso~]y , so I have attached my check for the
advertising nxmey. Bass a <lid his balance W.3.S dOVin to atxmt $ 20 a h h l{ after sending
you the check, so I \'1111 turn Ernies dues in to him .
I am pushing thL'lSs along as fas:t as possible , and as stated in my report will
r.vtke some contacts next week locally with whateverb I can scrape together to work
with . The Advertising order blanks, at least will be ready.
I have learned from past experience that Bailey gets considerably upset i f you try
to rush or push him . He has , of course, an artistic tempenpent , and while he is far
from being a sloYI poke, he takes great pride in the quality of the work turned out,
ani the bestxxx.: way to get along wit.h him is to give him the facts am instructions ,
and then keep out of his hair .
Looks like Ernie is doing a bang up job of pavine the way for me in Alberta. . ~';iah
SOlle of the others would take a hint . I really expect, ho\'Iever that ixx I will fet
good support froll them when I work their respective areas .
s you note fran the copy of a letter R~r sent you , Bill lialtz has come back into the
fold , ani in his letter to p~ he pledged good support .

Dear Bentley:
Had & date t o.' meet the man from the Thunderbird Inn over in Williams at 10 8.111.
Sunday , and planned to get back to Flagstaff by noon ani write you a ,long report
on acj1Tity down here to date . The gtl3 did1nt show up until three in the afternoon,
so I ~ent Ilost ot SWlda,y viait1ng with Ray instead• Wi JJ. !!h . r .f.orO d,. " h O

T he' ?
, inclosed ia the businesa actual..l.y" signed up .. . but does not include
another $ 300 which the Presscott Chamber ot Comnerce bas pledged ( by Bill Fraser)
who does not want to sign the order until otticia.l..l1 ok ' ed. b)" his advertising
cOlDnittee . He guaranteea the deal will go thru, but wants to run it thru his
comdttee for polic)" reasons .
This report does not indicate i l l of the ground
work that has been laid down here , however, for follow-up thia late Summer or
just after the Convention. All of the Chambers of Ca.unerce have been . . . . . .It
contacted. with the exe aptian ot Phoenix, and m st have ¢ 'a '
p
indicated. 80_
t1P8 ot support , either financial , moral , or both when I return.
The Jereme Historical SOCiety had planned. to give me a check for the $ 300, 'bu.t
have just learned that they will have to pa)" count)" taxea on some of the buildings
they have '
, 'g boU&ht in their effort to preS8M'8 the "Ghost Toll'll" • Being a
non-profit Corp. they had. not planned on this , and so are a little tight at the
ooment . They will theretore probably pay it in three installemnts of " 100 each
starting in June or JUly . Their president said he would write am advise me as
aoon as they getl cleared up with the Tax bo...1l"d , which wa.s to be in a faw dqa
after their June 1 .eeting, so there .may be some information waiting tor
at
Salt Lake. The Williams C. of C. nas turned the $ 300 contract over to their
treasurer, who will m.ail the check when he p8J"s the June bills . Ray says he usually
gets aroum. to it sometine aftar the Jliddle of the m:>nth, so that should be in
before long .
.e
There are a few of the" FWrur8 Pay" contract8 due about now, and I will not
send bills for two reaaoe. First. , Some ot them ~ have mailed ~ checka by
now, and I will be passing their door wi thin the next wi thin the next ten days ,
and w1ll drop in on them.
The Convention has been set tor Jackson, and I had planned on just sending out.
a story to all of the papers at this time , and then announcing it in a bulletin
as soon as some of the details havet been worked out at Jackeon . Ray felt ,
however that some sort of an anl'rJunc ement should go out to the members right .
awq, 80 I got out the inclosed post card to saTe time, but it still takes the
best part of a d8J' by the time l'OU run tbaa oft and. address all of them.
Plans for the Summer are as follows:
Will leu'e Flagstaff Wednesday ( June 12) and make a tew calls on my wa.::t back
planning to arrive in Salt Lake City this week-end . Will have to spend two
or three days at home, and will then try to finish up the double spread for the
Idaho-Wyoming area, working betwean Bear Lake and lacks on •
In order not to be stuok in Salt Lake City for a week or R>re getting out the
Membership Roster, I plan to arrange with Lee can at the Star Valley Independent
to print it which he can do while I am. working in the area. . It will b e handJ' for
me to drop in ard. OK the proof s etc ., since I will be working close by.
After that , llontana, Alberta, etc . as outlined. in my letter of lla;r 26.

spend. a few hours with you
we can be sure to make connections .
As you said in your laet lett8I" , IpOney will have to rollin a lot faster , and
I frankly believe that it will once I get up where the season is on and can st\rt
the solicitation of a "door to door" b&8ie cleaning up eaoh town as I go .
Up until DOW, I have been jumping around, most of the time in areas where we
have little or no membership , trying to hit the high spots " and 18,1 some ground
work. I suppose this was necessary, and R 7 ' F hope that the time and expense
involved in this trip Sl)uth ldll eventually pay oft as I have not come close ...
"breaking even" on the actual business written down here .

Dear Bentley:
As you can see from the reports , I have worked my w&7 down thru Southern Utah
hitting; some of the high spots . Could have probablJ' pi_ked up a fftW more advertising
contra.ets but it is too early in the season, and I was getting too many "Future
Pay" orders . None of the Club Presidents, except Owen Walton at Panguitch had made
an:r effort to contac:b delinquent mem.bers , and as a result I fo~ far too ID8ll1
manbers who are or will be excellent prospects for advertising , "
's
due
to be suspended and left out of the Membership Roster .
While it broke my heart to have to spend the time, there seemed. to be nothing else
to do but try am contact as many as possible and get,.., them. back in good. standing
as we will need their support . J.[oney is still vtJry tight in Southern Utah , but I
was able to collect dues fran quite a fn, and. most of them. promised to support
the brochure later when we conduct the thor ough solicitation in the area .
I talkod to RaT last night for tho first ti... sineo arriving in Flagstaff. Ho teab
that it would be wiSB to postpone the movie making untU next !n..;:ner i f nec. ssar)"
since this is a two year program • •• or at least until we can "pay as we go". I am
not speaking for him officially, as he will probabl1' write his opinion to you and.
Burnett but am passing the information alone "off the record" in case he does not
write for a few days .
I will make lIome of the ke,. calls here in Flagstaff and work down 89A expecting
to arrive in Wickenburg Saturda,.. Ra,. will meet _ in Phoenix on Uondq A.lI . and
go with Jle on down to Tucson to see how much help we may be able to enlist frc:o.
Bill Waltz and also to Nogale3 to meet Silva aDd Kyriakis in an effort to get
me started off right in the Tucson-Nogales area . He will then return to Williams .
I will work the area for all it is worth, and if i t is paying off, will probably
spen4 the rest of lla.y' down there. If I tina it too slow, I will have to jump back
to Flagstaf't-Grand Canyon area tiber. things are beginning to pick up. At any rate
I lIIlst start North in June to take full a.cH"antage of the season.
I do not know what ~ recent correspondence i f any you have had with R4tY about
finances , and he did not mention it 1n my bait! visit last night . Neither do I lOlow
for sure just how much mone,. you have lett, or what Bill Baas will have after he
pa;rs tbe April bills Which will include a s1aa.ble printing bill for the stationery
and hit him prett,. heavy for club refunds .
Ila;r wrote and asked. me to come down to Arizona just as soon as I felt we were in
a position to afford. it and in my answer I pointed out that .h1l.e we had made a little
financial gain on rq northern trip, you had been required to pay DIY final draw of
$ 622. 77 out of the mney I brought in from advertising due to the fact that the
parent orgnaization had not supplied the remrln1ng $ 700 of the operating capital .
receiving
I also pointed out that I would now have to depend on ' ;f It I ~ rq conmissions as
earned in order to finance continued operation whict) would be ok as long as ,.ou
have the money to pay off, and you would of course been abl e to do so in full
had it not been necessar.y to ~ the $ 622 . 77 out ot advertising revenue.
At any rate, I will have to have some mne,., and I guess the onl.,. thing you can do
at the moment i s to send. as JIlUCh of the $ 377.33 conmission as ;rou can possibly spare
at this time and pra,. that I can keep enougtl colDDing in to hold things together for
another 30 da;ys .
Frankl,., I do not have much faith that we will hit bi g money until I return to the
Jackson Hole area and on up North in June . It should really pour in then if it is ever
going to 0

There are selreral reascos why lcl do not expect business to be too good. on this trip
dOJfIl here .
The threat of the Black Ca~n Highway being designated as US 89 has everyone between
Flagstaff an! Phoenix up in the air.
Except for Wickenbrg, we have practically no membership south of Flagstaff which
make the solicitation in Tu.c~son and Nogales strictly IIcold turkey" requiring
the double job of selling the idea of joining the orgabisation in addition to the
advertising support . You cannot expect prople like BUl Waltz, SUva, and Kyrlald.s
to actually get out and. hit the street, even it they wanted to , 80 in spite of their
ld..nd words , good wiehes , etc. it will still probably rsain pretty much cold turkey.
wil..lIt'
As for Wickenburg, our one bright spot, Bill Bass has passed. the word along to Ra;y
that the Hwy. 93 boys have juet working the town over to the limit on a new 93 brochure
and he thinks it would be poor judgemEnt to try to work right behirxl them. They just
left town this week, I understand.
In spite of all this , W8 will get some business . If I did 1nt think so, I would have
never come down. What I mean to point out is that this *, next 30 days will be tough
going and. l'Ie probably won ' t get over the hump untillfell along in June.
I guess thats about the story as of now, and I had bet tar get this into the mail
and go out looking for a few bucks .
I will be in Tucson Wonday sO you can address me there IICare General Deliveryll .
Send along a check for what you can spare along with your conment8 on the suggestions
regarding the report and booking systEID. Air_mail should make it ok .

Dear Bent leYi
Had planned to add a l ittle more to the note regarding the payment
of membership dues t o the parent organization, but got to the bottom
of the page befor e I realized it .
The only way I can proteot myself, and guarantee a true balance
between Bill ' s annual report and mine, 1s to us e the "remittance advise"
system listing all member4hip fees collected, and get a signed receipt
from Bill for each transmittal of funds from my office to his . This
gives me a set of "fool Iroot" records tor auditing purposes r egar dless
of differences which might appear when the two reports a r e compar ed
beuause the re ceipted remitta nce advises would i ndicate which of the
two reports ar e in error .
IDhe only way , therefore that I can r ecord membe rships on his books
is to send him the mone~and getlt his receipt • •• that makes my
re port of total pa i d membership for the year j ibe with his financial
st a tement of revenue received . It wi l l look better to the auditing
cOmmittee , and elimina te the possibility of misunderstanding and error
if we follow thru with this same system.
In most cases now, I am gett ing the membership tees and adve rtlsKlng
payment in two different checks , which will save work tor you a nd
simplify y our bookeeping . I will continue to du this whenever pos s ible •

Commissioner Satterthwaite invited us to attend the Rich County
Commissioners meeting on W
ed, July 3 aaa ask for some money . M
ark will
go for sure, a nd will try. to take a d elegation from the Utah end of
the Lake . It being the day before the Fourth, he may not ha ve much
luck in r egards to a delegation because allot the resort ope rator s
I contacted down that way a round Garden City wer e af r aid that they
would be t ied up checking in the ir r eservat ions on Wednesday o In view
of the fact they I plan to sol'vi t e ALL of the 89 ' er County Commiss ione rs
in Utah it is impor tant that we meet with succcess in Rich County
as this would r esult in setting a favorable pr ecedent, and probably
int_uence the decision at Bome of the other s . At the moment the chances
don ' t look too good that I wo uld be able to attend this meeting , but
when the day arrives , if there is any possible chance to fit it in , I
will try to go along and give Mark a little moral support . I just migJt
decide that a couple hundred picked up down there
on

on the eve of the ir most hectic and busiest day of the season .

There is a letter from Ray at Salt Lake which I had my wife read to me
last night . He has written to Freeman regarding the visit to Arizona

Dear Bentley and Mark :
Am happy to report that , while I am not running ant foot races , my
old ti cke r has started to s e ttle down a bit . You can see that I am
still a little nervous by the sloppy typing on the report . I see my
doctor again Friday , and will have better understanding of my true
condition theno
Eaoh day , I am feeling better . Can you
~1inxx
feauure me on two cups of coffee and one pack of cigarets per day?
Can ' t even believe it myse l f .
W ll give Bentley a ring as soon as the new dummies are ready , and
i
we will start working on Logan and Ogden.
I was wrong in thinking I could get a better price on the tracings .
Have shopped
about ~
and think the best deal is to try and jeVi Dick
Bailey down a bit . A fast and GOOD job is most important . Am going
to see him later today, and if he will meet us half way , will give
him the job . We need these in a hurry.

Dear Senator Watkins:
Apparently the resolution of the 89'ers International
Highway Ass'n, Ino. refers to the potential Snake Narrows Projeot,
Idaho-Wyoming, whioh the Bureau of Reolamation is ourrently
investigating. This study includes investigation of the Alpine
site on the main stem of the Sneke River about three miles
upstream from the Idaho-Wyoming border. A dam at this site
would form a storage and regulatory reservoir and appears to be
the one to which the 89'ers are objectIng.
Reclamation's investigation also inoludes the study of
alternative dam sites on the several tributaries to the Snake
River in the general vicinity of the Alpine si'l;e in the atteillpt
to find sites of a less oontroversial natu1'e whioh if developed
might provide adequate regulatory s'oorsge in Ueu of a dam at
the Alpine site.
During the course at this study Reclamation 1s cooperating
with various interested authorities of the State of wyoming and
others with the objeotive of de~loping a projeot plan which
would be agreeable to the greatest number and have the least
adverse etfect upon the area. On the basis Of present sohedules
a planning rsport containIng oonclusions will not be oompleted
tor about two years. Prior to oompletion at a planning r.eport
by the Bureau of Reclamation, all interests will bave an
opportunity to review the results at the investigation and to
submit opinions. These opinions will be given oareful
oonsideration before reoommendations are formulated.
As requested in your letter of October 24, 1957, ~ are
enclosing the oopy of the resolution for your use and files.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
Fred G. Aandahl
Assistant Secretary at the Interior

Dear Senator j4urray!
nU' 0 Cm'ties has requested me to reply to your communioation
of October 23 and letter of Qctober 14 from lIlr 1:Iartin Ho Cantwell,
executl va secretary of the B9' ers International HighYlay

Resolution No. 1 reoommends the improvement of U. S. 89 in
Wyoming between Alpine und Jacksono This section at U. soo 89 is
included in the Federal-aid primaxy system and also in the
Foresot highway system which establishes its eligibility for
improvement with the particij)ation of these Federal hi(!hway funds
if requested by the State, Inasmuch as the State initiates
ind.i vidual proj ects for highway improvements involving either of
these funds, it would be appropriate for the Association to
direot its presentations to the \(yoming State Hi(!hway Department .
Resolution No.2 protests the possible improvement of a route
extending from .\shton. Idaho. through Cave Falls. ',;yomin!;, to
Uo S. 89 at Flagg Ranch south of the Yellowstone National Park.
Idaho state Route 47 is included in the Federal-aid secondary
system between U. S. 91 and the Targhee National Forest and the
State has recently improved this section by the placing of a
bituminous roadmix surfecing with Federal-aid funds participating
in the oost. This same seotion of Route 47 and its extension to
the ,IYOming State line is included in the Forest higllway system.
The State has not included in its our rent program imvolving
Forest highway funds, any projeot providing for the improvement
of the balanoe of this route o The extension of this route into
Wyaming t'rom the Idaho State line through Cave Falls to U. S. 89
as referred to by the Association is not inoluded in a Federalaid system. nor the Forest higb:way systamo 'fherefol'e, improvement
of such eo route would not now be eligible for participation of
either ot: theBe Federal I!i(!hway fLtnds in the cost.
Vie appreoiate the Assooiation's interest in these matters
and are forwarding oopies of this oorrespondeno9 and resolutions
to our field offices having jurisdiction or Federal-aid matters
in IdahO and :1yoll1Ulg tor tbeir InforJna tlon.

Dear
!""'. Cantwell:
!Jr. Curtiss h~:,s requested tie to reply to your letter of
October 14 enclosing copies ot three resolutions adopted October 8, 1957
by the G9'ers Internntlonal Assooiation Inc o
Resolution No. 4 protests the oontemplated improvements
extending from Aehton, Idaho, throll&h Cave ,'alle, '/yoming. to U. s. 89
at Flagg lWnch south of the Yello\'IDtone national Park. Idaho State
Route 47 is inoluded in the Federal-aid secondary system betiYlean U. s.
91 and the 'farghee National Forest. and the State has reoently
improved this section by the placing of a bitlwUnous road-mix
surfacing with Federal-aid funds partioipating in the oost. Thi"
same section of Route 47 and its oxtension to the Wyoming State line
is included in the Forest hillhwey syst8lll. l'he State hae not included
in its current pro3ram involving Forest hi~way funds, any project
providing for any improvement of the balance of tilis ratite. The
extension of this rotlte into Wyoming fram the Idaho State line
throU&h 8ave Falls to U. s. 89 as rcfer£ed to by the Assoaiation is not
included in a Federal.aid systeo o~ a Fores·t Hiehway system. Therefore, lmprove.tl8nt of such a route would not now be eli31ble for
parUcipatlon at either of these Federal. hiGhway funds in the cost.
Resolution lIJo q 8 .l'ccOlfllilends the improvement of U. S. 89 in
ft-.l"izona between the cities of Ixescott and ;ackenburg ol This section
of U. s. 89 is included in the Federal-aid primary system "hich
establishes its eligibility for improvement with the participation of
Federal-aid funds i t requested by the State and matched with funds
under its control, and if approved by the Bureau of Public Roads.
As the State initiates projects for highway improvements involving
Federal-aid funds, it would be appropriate for the Association to
direct its presentations to the Arizona State IllghVlay Departlllent at
Phoenix. The Association may be assured 'hat Publio Roads will give
prompt attention to any request received from the State tor
particIpation at Federal-aid funds in the improvement at this route.

there hav e come to a dead standstill . I did not hole him. on the phone
to GO into all of the details , but did ask him i f he could take off a
couple of days to work with me if I came down .
He said that he could make it any day after lbnday, eo I will. take off
for Richfield !.:cnday afternoon to be reedy for him Tuesday roorning .
This means that I will have to postpone ~ trip to Logan until I return ,
but I feel that it is important to take advantage of Ho:ner ' s offer to
nake the rounds 1fi th me .
If 'you will drop me a line giving the balance in the Promotion Fund, I
will figuro up what Accounts Receivable we can be sure of, ani try to
arrive at eome idea of what we can expef t to have available for the
brochure. I ... 111 then consult Dick Bailey am Paragon Pr ess and find out
th e most brochure we can expect to get for the money .
"t/ith this information, I will come on up to Logan
ani you and :L:ark and
I will nak:e a dUinite deCision, an::1 get into production.
I am worried plenty aoout how Ernie is going to take the letter I wrote .
It was a very ha..."'<i letter to write , and. I am afraid that he will think
that we let him down ... I wonder if it would be a good idea for you to
call him soften the blow a bit . He is a swell guy J and roally has gone

Dear Sr . Gandara
President Bentley Mitohell and myselr recently visited
Yazatlan to oonter with our Mexican Direotor , Sr . Guillerao
Freeman. W hod planned to rly in ur . U1tohell ' . private
e
plane whioh would have given us plenty or twe to also visit
with you in Hermosillo . W were , however prevented rrom
e
mak1ns the trip by air due to bad weather , and had to spend
rive days out or the seven we had available on t he road via
automobile .
e made a brief stop 1n Hermosillo , in the hope that we could
meet with you , but were dissapointed to learn that you were
not available at the time . i.e deeply regret thea oiroumstances
whioh prevented us from meet1ns you personally , but w1l1 ette
to expla1n in this letter the matter whioh we had hoped to
d1souss with you .
Inolosed is the "dummy lay- out" of a oolorful "Gu1de to the
Soenio Highway of Three Nations" whioh we plan to distribute
nation- wide here in the United States , W
estern Canada aod
IIexioo soon . You will note that this broohure will contain
sevoral pagss in FULL C<JLOR depiotins so.. of the most popular
tourists attraotions 1n all three nations .
Most important of a ll , we have divided our enti re hlshway
system Into six individual recreation areas , and have devoted
a double page to eaoh . Eaoh of these areas represents an
outstandins vacation destination in whioh a family oould spend
their holidays of three wseks • • • • or three months .
In order to publish this beautiful International broohure ,
and finanoe the pl anned distribution of 150 , 000 (or more)
oopies from ooast to coast , financial support in the amount or
$3 , 500 . 00 is required from eaoh area in support of it's
double pass . This support is bSins obtained from Hotel and
Motel Assooiations , Chambers of Commeroe , eto . in eaoh of the
Sta tes , and the Provinoe or Alberta in Canada . Othor support
is bSins subsoribed by individual busineos establishments .

oertain that many of them. oan be persuaded to extend their winter
vaoation trip into Mexico as a result or this brochure , to say no thing
or t he additional thousands f rom all 48 States and Canada who will receive
this guide .
The s pa oes marked ott on eaoh double page will be piotures of various

about the Cities and acoommodations oftered . These piotures wi ll be in

W teel contident that the Senora Hotel Association will also want to be
e
represented in this tine book , and perhaps some of the individual meobers
will want to have a picture of their Hotels inoluded .
W respeottully request that you bring t his matter to the attention ot
e
your ASSOCiation , and individual members wherever possible in order that
Sonora may be well represented .
All of the supporters ot this broohure are putting up the money in
advanoe , in order that we cen pay tor the production ot the brochure as
we go along . This is neoessary due to the tact that the International
Associetion is unable to tinance a projeot ot this size whioh will total
some 20 , 000 . 00 .
In eaoh oase , pleass send us a good olear photograph ot the piotures
desired , and also include a short description ot eaoh . The pioturos , a s
I mentioned above are priced at $ 300 . 00 each , which is extremely
reasonable when you consider the International distribution the brochure
will recd ve .
Again , "e regret that wo were unable to disouos this with you personally.
Since we hope to hav the brochure oft tho press , and ready tor distributionoarly in Juno, 0
t ime is very' ahort , and we will appreoiate hearing

Complete copy, layouts and . . . pictures will be in the hands

working the sections up as fast as poss ible . I have been held up

According to my records there is $ 1716 . 59 undeposited funds in the

and were able to renew most of them in addition to .Licking up several
new ones . Only sold two listings , but expect ~ 300 from the Chamber of

'ls yet have not heard what the Flagstaff Chamber did .
,Iill write more detail after a few days in ,ickenburg , and will oall
you before I leave.
�Prescott J Ariz .
February 15 , 1958
Dear Bentley:
Will try to bring youl up to date on happenings since I feft you
in Richfield .
Stopped overnight in Panguitch , and had a talk with Owen ,ialton , the
President of the Club there . Owen was of the opinion that~he best
thing to do is to a bandon \he Bryce Canyon Club . Says he h~ s never
been able to get anyoDe oU3to a meeting , and has no time to work on
it . They only have a few members paid up , so 1 agreed with h~ .
Next morning I picked up several dues . ', la s surprised that Allen Cameron
(Burnetts father) was so cold to the 89 'ers •• •had quite a time talking
him into paying up . Everyone is flat Me l• • broke in Panguitch at this
time of year , but I may be able to pick up a few more on my way back .
Stopped to see Del Robinson as I pas s ed thr~ Kanab , but he was away
on a W
inter vacation . Left a bill for his dues , and a copy of the
Club by- laws , and so will have to see him on the way uP .
Spent a couple of days in Flagstaff trying to stir up some interest
in the brochure . Hal Jaokson , Secretary of the Flagstaff Chamber seems
to have lost all interest in the 89 ' ers • •• at l e ast he took a very dim
view of our chancDs. to get anything out of the Chamber . He did ,
however finally consent to me taking it up with the Chairman of their
Advertising Committee . I went over the promotion with this guy , and left
a dummy and a written presentation to be taken up before the Chamber
Boarl!. meeting today . :1111 probably get the news in a few days , and I have
a hunch that it will be bad .
Stopped at Jerome to see what they intended to do about their picture ,
The Historical Sooiety would like to have the picture, but are in bad
financial straits due to a recent tax proposition that practically
cleaned out their preasury . I suggested that the Verde Valley Chamber
might help on the picture , a nd they are gp ing to see what can be done
about . There is a possibility that I may save this situation if I can
find the time to re- sell the entire deal, and get the Verde Valley
Chamber interested .
Hagerman was on his way to Phoenix for the week end when I checked
in , and I only had a few words with him. He don't sound too hot , but
I will see what I can do with him when he returns M
onday. I gigure that
I might as well put it on the line ~ to the effect that the Directors
are expected to pitch in and offer a little help locally . This mi ght
scare him off , but I don ' t see how I can expect to get much cooperation
out of Prescott i f he won ' t front the deal a bit .
Practically all of the Prescott members a re delinquent past 60 days .
I talked to Bersanek , President of the Club , and he is in favor of
dropping the Club , and did not even offer to renew his own membership .
They have never held any meetings , a n~Lnever will get any cooperation
as long as Bersanek in the lead man . ~ ill talk to Hagerman about this
M
onday , and see what he thinks .
Bill Frazer , Secretary of the Prescott Chamber practically promised me
a • )00 s ponsorship last Spring . He still thinks that they will go for
it, but cannot sign up until after their Board Meeting on March 11 .
Looks like Glacier Park Co . will go for $ )00 :':F I
that they will get an even break with Yellowstone.
can satisfy them
�---2--I can ' t understand Glacier being so jealous about Yellowstone . I'll
bet plenty that they would have very rough going if it were not for
the millions
. that Yellowstone brings into Montana • I won ' t tell
them this , ot c~urse , and wiOl try to get them sweetened up to the
point ot writing the check.
Had a letter trom Bill Bass crying about how bad things were in Wickenburg
this season , and expressing the opinion that we probably could t nt expect
much cooperation t here . So what t he hell?
Phoenix, like Salt ,take City has many highways, and tor this reason
we h~ve never had Bnt support the »e . Looks like our only chance there
is to hit the Chamber, and the Arizona Development Board tor a good
chUnk . If this fails , I don ' t know what to e~pect . It would take two
or three months to make any kind of an effective Canvass O the motels
t
and cafes . I might be able to hire a sub-agent or two , but judging
from what my present agents are dOing , I don t t have much faith . As
you probably know, I sold practically every order tor my agents in
Alberta .
Have you heard anything from Freeman yet? It not , I suggest
you e~ther wire or call him and see whats cooking . He never
Ray ' s letters tor months until he tinally wrote and said he
hospital . It we are going to get this brochure out on time ,
Mexico in it , there is no time to lose .

Frankly , Bentley , things look pretty rough here in Arizona at this
wtiting , sinoe we have lost practically all of the leadership and
support we had here two years ago . Everyone along US 89 between
Flagstaft and Phoenix are scared to death that the Black Canyon Hwy .
will get the 89 number some day . It may not be as bad as I t h ink ,
and may turn OuD O. K. , but at the moment I teel pretty blUe about it .
My main worry is that I am in such bad tinancial shape that I ' ll reach
the end of my rope soon unless something breaks . L don' t Doubt but what
Richtield will come thru O. K. as Homer prOmised , but that ' s in the
fut ure as is the prefc ott Chamber and the Glacier Park Co . I am wondering
it anything has come 0 a head yet in Logan . If ym could get a difinite
u
commlttment out ot t e City and County , the commission on that deal
might save the day .
'Nill conter with Hagerman Monday , and then start out to see what I
Can do with about 20 delinquent members here in Prescott. Then to
rlickenburg .
Am staying at the Apache Lodge in Case you have any thong to phone
abou t ,.. . or the mail address is "Care General Deli very , Prescott"
.vill probably be here until about the 19th . or 20th , and will
leAve a forwarding address . \Vould like to hear from you .
Regards,

Dear Bentley:
Vlill get this in the mail this afternoon , in the hope that i t will
reach you Monday .
I was pretty well set a week ago to get back into the harness • • obut
seems like it never rains but what it pours . A week ago today , Mrs .
Cantwell was involved in an auto acc l dent • • • made a total l oss out ot
her car , and nearl y killed hersel f • • • but came out luckY with only
a few cuts. br uises , shock , etc . Has been discharged t rom the hospital ,
and is now getting along pretty good .
The insurance Co . has been waiting for verif i cation on the policy ,
which they expect will arri ve tomorrow ( Monday) . I f so , I will have
t o spend Monday getting the claims settled etc. If the paper s are not
ready t omorrow , I will take off for Logan Tuesday A.M. anyway , and
will wai t to settle the claims when I get baok .

I will not be able to start South until ~ut the firs t of Feb . , as t he
doctor wants another electr o cardlgraph i
t;;tore
he turne me l o ose . He
says I am f eady to go O.K. , but want s thi s final check i n order to
better advise me on just how str ong I can go it .
In the me abtime , I thought I might get some work done i n Logan ••• piok
up a few members, and talk to the City and County Commissioners . Also
I feel very strongly that I should run up to Jaokson . With the extra
f ull col or page in t he new layout , I have a verl strong hunch that
the Jackson Vlinter Sports Assn . might go about, 500 f or a color
t picture . Thought I would call Fred Hauchens, and see if he can get
a meeting togbther towards the ene of the week , at which time we
could read a ll the letters received in regards to the Resoly tions ,
which aught to put the Jackson folks in a good mood .
Have made duplicator copies of t s e most important letters which are
being mailed out to all sponsors of the resol utions , and all Directors .
W l l give you yours when I see you , also copies of some correspondence .
i
The new dummies worked out pretty good , and between the wife and I we
have pasted up about fifty copi es , which will be available to mail
or leave with prospects .
There are so many things to talk about, that it w
ou&dtake all day
if I were to try and get it in this lette r •• • so will wait till I
see you . While we are toget her , we will draft up a letter t o 81' .
Freeman .
Got a l e~ ter f rom Homer Bandley .•• says he 1s ready to go to work .
W
onder if it would be possible for you and I " 0 fly down and see him
together before I hit Arizona . Just a thought • •• thint it ~ver .
I figure I had better h i t pretty st raight for Presco~~ when I leave ,
not wasting much time 0:0. the way down . Then to Phoenix and Tucson .
Should be done I n Arl xona by the end of Feb . and then . inish Utah in
M
arch .
', all be seeing you TuesdajJ A. M. If you don ' t ha1>pen to be home Tuesday ,
it won ' t make any di f ference , as I will go right ahead making some cnlls .
However , it you should happen to plan-O il to be away most of the week,
call me at home ( CR 7- 0260) Monday ni ght .

Dear Bel!tley:
The best , and only eM airpo',rt in W
ickenburg is at the
FLYING E ranch
about three miles ,lest of th., town , and a couple of miles off Hwy 60- 70 .
On your chart , you will see
another airport close by at the Rancho
de los Caballeros . This fi~~ld , however does not have pumps and service .
I went out to the Flying E t( ) see i f it would be OK to land there . I
thought that perhaps it was
limited to guests of the ranch . They will
be glad to have you use tr~e field •• • in fact most everyone landing at
'ivickenburg uses it .
�Dear Bentley:
Cardson, Alta
November 1) , 195 7
This is just about the first evening I have had f Bee sinoe arriving
baok in Alberta, so will try to bring you up-to-date on a few
miscell aneous mat t ers .
CHECK AND ORDERS INCLOSED
I finally got the forms made up whioh I will use for remit~anoes under
the new system. I have started you a file folder on them, which is
being mailed under separate cover in a large envelope . For security
reasons I thought it would be best to send the check air- mail in this
letter. W
hen this arrives, it will explain the breakdown on the $ )00
check attached . ~ ,I .. )
I have another report started on additional business secured here in
Alberta which I will hold up a few days until I pic~ up a couple of
ohecks.
ALBERTA MOTEL CONVENTION
Ernie and I both feel that our representation at the Convention built
a lot of good will for the 89 ' er • • We were quite dissappointed that you
were unable to m
ake it , because I am sure you would haTe enjoyed making
some of the contacts . I had the opportunity to become very wel l acquainted
with the Hon. Russel A. Patrick, Minister of Eoonomio Affai r • ••• so well
in fact that he has started to call me by my fir s t name • • • also Ed . Bryant ,
the Advertising Manager of the Province whom you and I talked to at
St . Mary . He asked to be remembered to you. Also made another good friend
in the pers on of E.J . Madill, the new American Counsul who recently
replaced Mr . Oakley ••• you probably also remember meeting Oakley at St . Mary .
Most of the City Offioials , Chamber of Commerce offioials , and Motel
operator. from Calgary , Red Deer , and Edmonton that I had previously oalled
on were present and all seemed surprised , and greatly pleased that I
had returned for the convention . We did ' nt talk any 89 ' er business except
informally , since there was a very heavy agenda . The 89 t ers were, however
given top billing by vi»tue of the fact that I was seated at the head
table on all four of the "eating oooasions" along side of the Hon . Mr .
Patriok , who was the bigge.t bra •• there which I am sure rai.ed our stock
a few pOints on the Canadian market . In fact I could actually FEEL
our prestige growing •• , you oan always sense this sort~ of thing, it ' s
hard to explain ••• just litt~e things like people going out of their way
to be intriduoed to you , e tc .
So much for that .
NEAR FDTDRE PLANS
Ernie was of course very busy all week , as many ot the out or town
delegate. stayed with him, and some remained an extra day after the
Convent i on was over . W did, however , clean up a tew odds and ends
e
at Calgary, and pioked up .ome additional business • • I also got the
* ) 00 deal from the Calgary Stampede Board on the move, and their
agency i. forwarding the pioture and insertion order to me at Great Falls
this week (so they promised).
Mr . Ryerson Christy of Cards on was eleoted President of the Assn. to
succeed Ernie, and he invited me to come to Cardson M
onday evening the
11th to attend the Rotary lunoh Tuesday, and the C
hamber meeting last
night . Got $ 50 from t he Chamber la.t nite, and today the Mayor pr omi.ed
at least anothe~ * 50 from the City of Cardson.
�- - 2--The president of the Cards on Chamber called Waterton Lakes , and set up
a meeting with the Waterton Chamber for tomor row night ( Thursday) . He
plans to go over with me .
These are the small communities , and we can ' t expect too much this late in Ek
the season , as they all have the long winter ahead, but we are a t least
building some good bridges an~ making friends and conneotions.
So , Thursday at Waterton, and follow up perg aps on Friday, and then to
Ft . Maoleod Friday evening and Saturday . Lethbridge probably over the week
end , dOing ..xx what I can on Monday, and then baok into Montana .
Tims will not permit much in the way of securing individual members in
these smaller to\ms this trip ••• it wo ~ ld be a s l ow process since the winter
is cloSing in on them , and the Arizona advertisements have started to
appear in the papers . About the most I can expeot to accomplish is to
get a XXIX._ finanoial grant ot some kind trom the Chambers , and oities
wherever possible, and pi ok up the odd mambership here and ther a.
If the tour this comming June is succeSSful , and I can arrange to
remain for a few weeks and follOW up with a membership drive in all
areas visited, I suspeot we can make a real killing .
CAllELCADE NEXT JUNE
this time you have probably reoeived the suggested line-up from
Ernie . It is , you must admit, a very ambitions plan , and I sinoerely
hope we can get good support trom all s1des to make it a success .
Ernie has his heart set on it , and I fear that a failure would just
about break his heart . He figures that the cost for the five days
after entering Alberta, meals and l odgings inoluded , would probably
not exceed around at $ 25 per hea4 ••• and I don ' t know where in hell
anyone could get a 1200 mile . . . oonducted tour of the Canadian Rockies
any cheaper , SO it really does have possibilities if we all get on the
ball and promote hell out of it .
By
We composed quite a pointed letter to the Gr eat Falls Chamber of Commerce,
more or less making it c ibear that the" volume partioipation" wOllld have to
oome from Montana, and asking their pledge of all out support . Ernie sent
it out on his stationery, a entioning in a oasual way his oonneotion with
the Tourists Committee of the Calgary Chamber, all of which sort of putt
Great Falls on the spot to do something about it ••• you recall , of course
hearing Dick Fur~us tell how Great Falls does everything possible to
oultivate Calgary , and Southern Alberta.
I plan to give this tour a big initial plug in our December bulletin ,
and we must tigure out ways and means of sell ing it strong , to mambers and
non members alike . It would be a very economical and worthwhile trip for
anyone , and these Canadians will really rol l out the red carpet .
NEW DIRECTORS
How about these guys? In the event you have written me care of Ernie, he
will forward it, and I will pick it up on Saturday at Lethbridge .
We are a l l practically out of stationery , as the last printing was limited
due to the expected change involving Burnett . Ernie want s to write a lot
ot letters , and I am down to just a few s heets . In oase you have not
already writ ten me on this, please try to get me the dope as soon as
possible .
�----2----BULLETIN
I made the deal we talked about with the Call boys at the Star Valley
Independent to ge,t out the printed bulletin tour times a year. Their
price is lower ~ ~ I ever got in Salt ~ake. About $ 80 . 00 tor a
thousand copies plus cost prioe ~n the ~ngravings used . They can buy these
outs tor about one third the price we would have to pay otherwise . The $ 80
includes putting mas on the address lables • • • and they would mail them
from Afton using a bul k rate permit . W would , of course have to pay the
e
postage . No envelopa would be required, which is a savings of about 2!¢
per bulletin.
Would like to have pictures of our new directors for the De cember issue,
which is another reason why we should be hearing from them at once .
***********
Its almost midnight, and I still have several more letters to go, so
will come to a dead stop right here . W
ill try to write OFTENER , and not
so much in the future .
My next address will be " General Delivery". Gre at Falls .
Will stop in Browning, Choteau Bab , -4Jlr.l ldQI I~ on the
way down , expeoting to arrive In Great Falls about Thursday of next week .
