      Tourists Pass up Butte as Camping Place, They Claim Those Who Do Stop Say Word Has Been Passed Along to Stay Away

      That the word has been passed along by some tourists not to stop in Butte because the camping grounds facilities were inadequate...

      Mr. and Mrs. Otto Steuer and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hucke with Walter and Harold Hucke of St. Louis, camped at the playgrounds last night, while one of the cars was being repaired. They are on their way to Los Angeles, where they are planning on making their home. From Kansas City, Mo, they took the Golden Belt route to Denver, where they were delayed two days on account of rains, then on the Pike's Peak highway to Fair Play, Sol. Over the Hoosier pass, Rabbit Ear pass and the Steamboat Springs trail they went to Rawlins, Wyo., where they found the roads in poor condition on account of heavy rains. The party then traveled over the desert roads through the oil fields of Wyoming to Cody, where they struck the Yellowstone trail. At Cody they stopped in one of the best tourist camps of the trip, they said. While they were at Cody more than 60 tourists stopped there for one night.

      From Cody the party entered the Yellowstone park through the Shoshone canyon pass, which is said to be the most interesting part of the park. While camping in the park for 10 days, they visited the many interesting places. THe road from Gardiner to Livingston is in a bad condition, according to reports of the St. Louis party. Saturday night they camped at the Three Forks tourist grounds and made the trip from there to Butte Sunday. Mr Steuer said that the road between Whitehall and Butte was the best he has driven over during the trip. The party will leave this morning for Spokane via Anaconda and Missoula. When asked about the fishing conditions Albert Hucke said: "We have seen large numbers of fish in these mountain streams, but if must be spawning season as the fish would not bite at any kind of bait we tried." Mr. Hucke said that they were at the poorest camping grounds yesterday that they had camped in during the month they have been on the road.
