Mf. Dean was seen at the train by the

PLEASED with the splendid outlook for
PARK travel. Il am hurrying back to
Mammoth said MI. Dean. ITO complete
the ar arrangements for caring for the
presidential party, which Will arrive at
'Innabar in the evening of the 2Sth of
May. Since l left the park l have been
informed that consider, able snow has
laiien IN the country south Of the Golden
Gate ana that the temperature has re-
NAMED steadily at point too low to per-
m of any thaNing. II lwever | am en-
tlfeiy sanguine of our success
In getting the party OF distinguished

only three days to remain in Wonder-
land. and it is our intention to show them
as much of the park as is possible to do
in that space of time. The first install
ment of help. cooks, walters. etc, will
arrive at Livingston on the 10Th and will
be hurried to the park. The hotels At
Mammoth and at the Grand Canyon, to-
gether with the lunch station at Norris
will tie fitted up to receive the party.
We expect to please the president and
his guests. and are overlooking nothing
which would tend to make them comfort
able.
Yes, We shall build two new hotels
this summer. The one at Norris will not
be as cOmnodious or large as the ona
al the Upper Geyser basin is to be. ana
We think that we can complete it this
summer. We shall start work upon it
just as soon as the weather Will allow.
You understand that the summer season
in the park is fearfully short and that
whatever is to be accomplished must be
rushed with vengeance. We think,
however, that we can complete the Norris
hotel. The one at Upper Geyser will be
tie equal of any hotel in the park, ana
OF course. cannot be completed this sea
son. We shall have it we'll under way,
nevertheless. When we shall have COM
pleted these two new hotels, tourists viii

and go miles, travelling instead only 20
and 30 miles per day, and finding at the
end of this short journey a comfortable

Asked how many people the hotels ex-
pectel to care for during this season, Mr..

ton to answer. We have no means for
making anything like an accurate esll-
mate. l can say, however. that we ex-
poet TO accommodate 4.30O people dur
ing the summer. When you ask me upon
what l base this estimate. l am com
p6lied to revert to aeneralites. How
, ever. we can tell pretty nearly by watch
, ing the pubic. We shall have the Arion
Singing society of New York again this
year. A large number Of the members
Of the American Medical association
Which meets in st. Paul on the 18th OF
Jure. will come to the park at the end al
their session. A large number of Chris

~ hurt Tuesday eVering at a point near
Coal Spur. five miles west o this city.
The crew to which the two men be-
long. is working al Muir making their

started for this city on their handcars.
The crews of two of the cars became
a triile jubilart and started a race down
the steep grade. The men on the sec.

the first car and soon overhaulad them.
The speed was such that no stop could
be made and a collision was the result
Japs We're scattered all over the right
OF way. The two men who were in
jured We're thrown underneath the de-
rallied cars. Nakasano had his right
foot badly crushed, and Fukuda's arm
suffered similar injury. Besides these
both Japs We're terribly bruised and
shaken up. They were brought to this
city and DIR. r. d. Alton was called to
attend them Next morning they We're
sent to the Northern Pacific hospital at

ly dangerous to necessitate amputation
in either case.
