CATTLE WILL CRAZE
IN YOSEMITE PARK

Sacramento, Cal, June ls.--Act-
ing on urgent demands by the state
council Of defense, the United States
department Of the interior has notified
Governor Stephens that sections Of
Yosemite National Park will be open
to cattle grazing as soon as snow is
sufficiently or the range. Followidg
the request Of cattlemen that SEC
tions Of the park be thrown open for
cattle grazing in order to save thous-
ands Of heads Of calves. which other
wise would have to be butchered be-
cause Of the lack Of forage, the state
council asked the department Of the
interior several weeks ago to open .
part Of the Yosemite. It is estimated
that 100000 head Of cattle. which
otherwise would have had to be mar
keted and the sale Of which would
have seriously affected future produc-
ton, will be driven on the Yosemite
ranges this summer.

Some unfeeling railroad ad writer or
other fiction dispenser penned these
words to lure the unsuspecting North
erner to his lair: go South, young man,
where the balny breezes blow, where one
may walk about in natures garden spot
in the habiliments of summer with never
a thought of the wintry blasts Of the
North. But wait someone has exaggerat-
ed grossly concerning this wonderful CHI
mate. In the first place, balmy breezes
are not blowing and from all indications
will not blow until the cotton is sown in
the springtime. In the second place, were
one to walk about in the habilments of
summer, taps would surely be blown. In
the third place, the sentiment has been
expressed that the wintry blasts of the
North are more to be desired than the So
called balmy breezes of the Southland
Be that as it may, we here at 70 are cold
and have been in that uncomfortable
condition for several days yet we are as
sured that this cold wave is to be of short
duration. Praises be!
The programs Of the past week have
been ESPECIALLY good On Monday night
the regular movies were shown with a
