that was to be barred. These reports,
at first incredible, were SO persistent

Matheson Mr.. Matheson told me that

Automobiles Are Nou Barred From

BY r. r. I'Horr1nedieu

many old people who are doing the val
ley that it is little dangerous to have
automobiles cavorting around there.
The elderly tourists travel from place
to place on the backs of horses and
mules. Generally they are afraid of
the horses and mules, the latter in turn
are afraid of the automobiles, not be-
ing on terms sof close intimacy with
the motor car. In consequence, when
an automobile puts in an appearance
there is something doing. Should one
of the four legged transportation We
kicles take fright when on the edge Of
a precipice, loss of life might result.
For this reason the federal authorities
cannot be blamed for wanting to pre-
serve peace and quiet in the valley.
The advice to go into the Yosemite
by train still holds good"

about the outlook for railroads i'll
the country rises a clear note of hope

this year and some for next year VIII
be carried out as originally planned,
