similar distance and duration that l know
of in the civilized world; while the discOm-
forts, often amounting to positive misery In
the hot season, are but poorly compensated
for by the sheared and pruned beauties
offered for the enjoyment of the tourist in
return. Of the great cliffs and noble water
falls l can say nothing, as they are too
mighty to be disturbed by the destroying
hand Of man; so TO feebly praise them for
being unmolested would be merely an im-
pertinence. 10 their real and unsurpassed
grandeur an admiring world has already
borne sufficient testimony.
In the course of conversation at the
Stoneman Hotel with one OF the parties In
interest In the valley l was Informed by
him, with reference to the cutting of trees
and clearing of the fine shrubbery, that it
was done 10 show more of the walls, and
that "the tourists didn't come to see the
trees; they came to see the rocks" LII this
is the sole reason for the policy of destruc-
ton at present at work in the valley il Is a
fatal mistake. The tourist makes the jour-
neY to see oSemite as whole, and not TO
be made TO look at portions of it through
the crude eyes OF any inexperienced aud
certainly impairment parties who may
usurp to themselves the privilege of telling
others what is best for them. The desire of
all strangers is to see the Yosemite they
have read such euloguBs and panegyrcs
Of, and bot a cropped and mutiIated area of
dlsfgured trees and meadows which would
b. considered disgraceful if found upon
any private estate in Great Britain. To me
1t seems that it would certainly be better If
the valley we're again returned to the Gov
eminent of the United States. MS the man
agement would then become at once
more liberal, as well as expert. which
seems impossible under its present
system, while at tile same time Its
locus would be removed from the political

rs At home. The contrasting effect
/ these continually recurring assem- blages OF
such peculiar looking structures as scarce
! ever eve rested on before 10 such exalted
locality, with the majestic nobleness of
| cliff and mountain all around, is in the
nature Of vivid nightmare. How il was
possible for such clumsy and tasteless
structures to have ever been erected by any
Intelligent individual or bodies of indi-
YldualS, or how It WAS possible that any
controlling executive could permit the erec-
ti0n of such graceless habItations in such
place as Yosemite Valley, as is the Stone
man Hotel, together with tie army of sheds,
outhouses and stables that lie scattered all
about it and also lower down in the valley. II
must surpaSs the powers OF mind OF any
intelligent being having ordinary taste to
conceive. Can il be possible that it is an
axiom in America, or this portion of il, to
first destroy and make barren and lay waste
the ground upon which you Intend to build
your habtation? Such has certainly been
the motif about the Stoneman Hotel. What
we saw about this unhappy spot prepared
/ our minds in measure for the lameuta BILE
mistakes which we beheld further on. After
| we had made the conventional round Of
! trips and seen the sights usually shown to
tourists, we determined to stay a while
/ longer and do The valley on foot for the pur-
! pose Of observing for ourselves its wayside
