YELLOWSTONE PARK IN DECAY.

no Improvements Made for a Year-SOme
Suggestions Onered.
An important report on the condi-
rion of the Yellowstone National park
was made to the secretary of the in
terror recently by Capt. G. 5. Anderson,
Sixth cavalry, acting superintendent of
the park. Capt. Anderson says the park
has received no improvement the last
year, because the Northern Pacific rail
road, the principal stakeholder in the
park association, has been unable 10
spend money on it. He says there is
great need of new hotels and lunch
houses to accommodate the class OF
visitors who have abundant means.
There is large class of visitors who go
through the park in camping parties in
charge of licensed conductors. The au-
thorities in charge of the park confess
that these parties annoy them not lit
tie. They are careless about their
camp fires and continually threaten
serious damage by fire. Another thing
that ought, he thinks, TO be CONSOLE
dated under one control is the Yellow
stone lake steamboat fran, hse. The
present steamboat company desires to
rush tourists through the park, as il
receives the same pay whether the
stop-oyer privileges are Granted or not.
The hotel people. on tht other hand,
would like to prolong the stay of the
visitors. Thus there is clashing OF in
terests. Although the area of the park
is greater than that of the state of Cor
necticut, but $4,000 has been for sev.
eral years allowed for its protection
and improvement. This year $4,000 IL
available. Capt. Anderson THINKS
100000 ought to he appropriated fo'
about two years, and then the roads
could be completed and surfaced with
stone. This, he supposes, would antici-
pate and stop the demand for trolley
roads.
Poaching has gone on during the
year as usual. Ten carcassts of buffalo
were found last summer. One man was
caught with four buffalo heads i'm hi,
possession. Four arrests were made
and the parties fined $50 each. All
kinds of game, except buffalo, are in
creusing in the park. A herd visited the
corral provided for their shelter last
winter, but wandered of again
Scattered lunches have been seen and
II is possible that there are so in all in
the park. Capt. Anderson says il is
doubtful problem whether he will be
able TO save them. Nature and man are
both against them, he says.

"To what am indebted for the honor
of this call?"
1t was Mrs. Ellen Mary Ricketts, who
spoke. She held in her hand the card of
Mrs. Eliza Jenkinson, which had just
been laid on her desk by the Office girl,
for the card was followed almost in
stantly by the entrance of the person
whose name it bore.
There was really no necessity for the
use of the card, either, for the Two had
frequently met.
Mrs. Ricketts, was the candidate for
congress of the optional headgear party,
while Mrs. Jenkinspn was the non.

Hire an intelligent, honest man to as

slow, canvass among the farmers.
The attempt to deceive about the
quality Of an apple in this day and age
is so thin that il deserves and is sure
TO receive contempt. Common prudence
would dictate to one who is a stranger
that he should deposit his receipts

HOW TO PACK BUTTER.

1t Can lie Kept Sweet and In Good Order

Butter is never so good as when used

flavor, which soon passes away and is
never present thereafter; but butter
properly made can be kept sweet ind

Get the butter in good condition as
soon as possible after churning and
pack it firmly in gallon or half-gallon
Jars. Those containing five or six
pounds are preferable. When the Jars
are bought ask the seller, as he marks
the weight of each, to number them, so
that.a record of the amount of butter
in each jar can readily be kept Pack
the jars level full, tie a round piece of
strong. thick cloth over the top and
