HIGHWAY DELEGATION GIVEN ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME HERE

One Hundred And Fifty Persons Gather At Natali's Cafe To Participate In Banquet In Honor Of Visitors From Black Hills And Eastern Montana

At one of the most enthusiastic gatherings ever held in Red Lodge, representatives from eastern Montana and South Dakota communities, forming a "good roads" delegation to Billings and Red Lodge, and state highway commission members and engineers Tuesday night discussed a highway program for this section which, speakers declared, would bring a golden flow of tourist travel to eastern Montana from the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Over 150 persons gathered around a banquet table set in the dining room of Natali's cafe to hear the speakers and participate in a general get-together the aim of which was to get local cooperation in promoting the long-proposed Billings - Hardin - Broadus highway, making a short-cut to the Black Hills area.

Dr. J. C. F. Siegfriedt, outstanding as a Red Lodge booster, presided over the gathering as toastmaster. Led by W. D. Fisher, secretary of the Billings Commercial club, the evening's program opened with the gathering joining in the singing of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" and "Montana." Miss Velma Shelly played the accompaniment at the piano.

First speaker to be introduced was S. A. Holt, of Broadus, ex-state senator and former president of the Broadus Chamber of Commerce who attended the meeting as chairman of the delegation from the eastern Montana point. Mr. Holt discussed the proposed Black Hills short-cut, declaring it would reduce the mileage to Billings over the route by 128 miles. He pointed out the benefits of such a highway and showed the results it would have on travel over the new Red Lodge-Cooke City approach way to Yellowstone park.

In concluding, Mr. Holt introduced members of the delegation from his community. They included A. W. Heidel, Broadus banker; E. B. Serrius, Broadus merchant; Charles Scofield, Guy Thex and Ashton Jones, editor and publisher of the Powder River Examiner at Broadus.

Mr. Holt was followed on the floor by L. C. (Red) Morrison, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Belle Fourche, South Dakota, who was introduced as the delegation member who had traveled the longest distance to attend the meetings in Red Lodge and Billings. Mr. Morrison painted in glowing terms the benefits of the Billings-Broadus route, declaring that the rich tourist trade now patronizing the Black Hills area could easily be induced to come farther westward into Montana if suitable travel conditions would be provided in this state. The proposed route, he said, would increase travel into this state to an extent beyond realization, and much of it would be directed over the new Red Lodge park highway.

The Powder River Examiner editor then outlined the points to be touched by the proposed Black Hills cut-off, stating it would lead from Billings to Hardin, cross the Crow and Tongue River Indian reservations and connecting with the Belle Fourche highway at Broadus.

Another editor-speaker at the gathering was R. A. Vickers, publisher of the Hardin Tribune-Herald, who declared that his city was much in favor of the new Black Hills route and was working for its construction.

Introduced next was W. H. Centerwell, superintendent of the Tongue River Indian reservation at Lame Deer, who told the audience that, as a representative of the United States Indian service, he could vouch for the fact that that body was in favor of the Billings-Broadus route and that it pledged its 100 per cent cooperation in promoting its construction. He pointed out the benefits of such a route, not only in tourist travel, but in commercial and industrial purposes.
