~ EVIL LAND" is what the
Indians called the Yellow
stone National park, for
they were unable to un-
derstand the wonderful geysers, the
run both hot and cold.
Rudyard Kipling penned a remark
able appreciation of the Grand Can
yon of the Yellowstone when he WIS.,
ited there.
"All that / can say" he wrote, ais
that without warning or preparation
looked into gulf LOO feet deep,
with eagles and fishhawks flying far
below. And the sides of that gulf
were one wild welter of color-crim-
son, emerald, cobalt, ocher, amber,
honey splashed with port wine, snow
white, vermilion, lemon and silver
gray in wide washes.
''The sides did not fall sheer, but
were craven by time and water and
air into monstrous heads of kings,
dead chiefs-men and women of the
old time. So far below that no sound
of It's strife could reach US, the Yel-
lowstone river ran, a finger-wide strip
Of jade green. The sunlight took
these wondrous walls and gave fresh
hues to those that Nature had already
laid there.
Evening crept through the pines
that shadowed us, but the full glory of

Lower Falls aos Feet High.
Few people know that the Lower
Falls of the Yellowstone are nearly
twice as high as Niagara-30S feet.
The government engineers have con-
structed stairways to the better van
tage points. so that the traveller is
afforded a complete Survey of the falls.
1t is probable that the canyon is seen
to the best advantage from Artist
point, on the west side of the river.
From the canyon there are count
less side trips of unequaled beauty. in
Guiding, of course, a visit to "Old
Faithful" geyser. which may be count
ed on to display its charms regularly
every 65 to So minutes.
In this park we find, too, Yellow
stone lake, the largest mountain lake
in the world with the one exception of
Like Titicaca in Peru. The waters
seem to be framed by the peaks of the
Absoraka range, extending south the
length of the lake to Mount Sheridan,
the snow-tipped crest of which is bare

In and out among the mountains, and
on every side there is a most unusual
offering of natural wonders: The Fry
