are about the center of fertility and

The National Park of the United
States was the principal object of my
trip. | expected much Of it and was
not disappointed. 1t is located in the
midst of the Rocky mountains, about
5000 feet high. There, three of the
great rivers rise, Missouri Cumber-

to both oceans. 1t is full of small riv-

Modes of Travel in Park.

and are responsible. There are four
or perhaps six different firms or indi-
viduals authorized to take visitors
through. Some have permanent tents
and others move their tents daily. Be
sides these there are two companies
that are connected with permanent ho-
tells, which are so distributed that each
evening after days travel a hotel is
reached. The hotels are large and first
class, having accommodations for
about four hundred guests at one time.
They are about six or eight in num-
Der and are located near the most in

Of much interest. especially the Old
Faithful inn, built of native logs. 1t is
about three hundred and fifty feet
long and spiendidly accommodates 400
guests.
The drive is made in old time
stages, each carrying eleven passen-
gers and the driver. who controls four
good western horses. The whole dis
lance is one hundred and fifty miles,
and is covered in five and half days
Twenty miles is considered a good
half days drive, and each day the
drive is shortened.
"On the whole the arrangement for
taking TOURISTS through is very good.
The expense for the hotels and drives
for five and half days is $50 and for
the drive and tents $50. For these
amounts everything is furnished and
good accommodations.

water every hour. The water is gen
orally clear, although some are mud
seysers and others look like cooked
mush. They are found in many parts
of the park and in all forms. They
may be called water volcanoes. The
common theory is that the water from
| Yellowstone Lake, lake over twenty
miles long, finds it way down into the
earth to where the heat of the earth
expands the water and it is belched
forth in steam and boiling water Most
of the pools of hot water are about
boiling point, The rushing streams,

There are many wild animals in
the park. The bears come out at the
hotels in the evening and eat the gar

are seen on the trip through the park
The company with which we saw the
sights of the park owned between 700
and 800 horses which they had in
service conducting their business. All
provisions and supplies must be
freighted from the outside as no rail
roads are allowed in the park. No
automobiles are allowed to enter. but
