tourists return with interesting bear
 stories. At meal time bears venture
 near the hotels to get the garbage and
 they are som etimes seen In other
 places. Back in the woods, dwell Mr.
 and Mrs. Bruin, and their progeny,
 but they have learned where garbage
 ttblts can be found and on their daily
 excursions to get this food they are source of enjoyment to lookers-on.
 Seats are erected short distance from the hotels at the edge of the woods, and here one may sit and watch Bruin eat his supper As he comes down from hLs forest home. &C., ccmp2nicd by various members of his family.

Park were their friends, but they bear evidence of good treatment in their sleek coats and fat bodies.
 Every year the beautiful deer are seen along the roadways and near the hotels. During the fall. winter and spring they are familiar feature on the parade ground at Fort Yellow stone and they seem less timid than the elk, which are apt to seclude them selves in the valleys and timber. But a short ride from the hotels will usually bring a herd in view especial ly in the vicinity of Shoshome Lake and Hayden Valley. By some marvel the animals seem to adapt themselves to the automobiles that now take the place of the Park coaches. As one skins along in these cars there are certain retired portions of tho Park where one can see the beavers at work. They seem to be rapidly multiplying though many have been shipped to city parks or approved preserves At Yancey's there are many colonies of these beavers in the brooks and they can be seen cutting down trees, swim ming, laying in their winter food and doing all sorts of chores as they frisk about their dams, houses and slides.

U. s. STEAMER IS
 SUNK; 10 MISSING

Washington, July 19.-The Amer. ican steamer Westover, an army SUD- ply ship manned by navy men, was torpedoed and sunk in the war zone July II, while bound for Europe, the navy department was advised last night by Vice Admiral Sims. Ten of- ficers and men of the crew of 92 are missing.
 No details were given in the navy departments announcement, and the circumstances under which 82 off cers and men of the crew were res cued or whether the submarine was sighted and fired upon by armed guards is not known. The Westoyer was of 4,270 net tonnage.
 The missing are Assistant iPaymas- ter Robert Herbert Halstead. Lansing, Mich.; Ensign Ralph D. Caldwell, Woods Ford, Mich; Chief Machin- ist Mate Frank w. Hollowas, Wash ington, D.

the graceful deer, hundreds of striped antelopes. dozens of big horn sheep and thousands of elks who ramble about, feed, and do not seem timid at all. Early in the morning the big hay wagon starts out from Mammoth Hot Springs, near Fort Yellowstone, and carries alfalfa to Gardiner, and as soon as 1t approaches the elk and antelope begin to appear. Sometimes they come in stately file, with every appearance of a stylish dinner party, and at other times they mess together in groups of hundreds. Or they stand in line and wait patiently until the wagon starts on its rounds of scatter ing feed. They never push eacn other, never quarrel. ard pay no attention to sightseers or phctGg e phe $, though when they finish eati..;.,; they sta,,d and look at the onlookers refcctively and perhaps the deer kick up their heels and run in sheer playfulness As the Park is surrounded by four national forests the question of whether part of their area could be used for graz ing has been discussed, but rAe diff. culty of adequate protection has been the main trouble.

hundred were killed in one winter, the teeth extracted and the carcass al- lowed to rot on the ground Great nerds of these elk can be seen by travellers grazing on mountain sides and the graceful animals are petted whenever they come near enough to the hotels to become accustomed to people. It is somewhat difficult to estimate the exact number of these or other animals in the Park-espe- cially as the elk are in two herds the northern and southern-mainly distinguished by their wintering grounds. Recently, members of the Forest Service, the Biological Survey, National Park Service and Boone and Crockett Club made a survey.
 Animals Fed In Winter
 Though most persons see the anil mals of the Yellowstone in summer there are certain enthusiastic animal lovers who go to this remarkable Park in winter that they may see them as they come to Gardiner, the entrance t' tho Park to get tho alfalfa hay which the Government harvests each year for winter food for the Park animals. Though in summer all kinds of animals roam in the higher parts of the Park, the winters are so severe that they are glad to come dowr to ge' food. So at Gardiner, ono con zee

 summer visitor can experience little
 danger in plucking the many gorgeous
 wild flowers that make the roadside radiant.
 It is worth a trip across the con- tinent to see the animals in this Park, and ono can always be sure of few geysers thrown in for good measure. And yet, this wonderful spot, more wonderful than similar areas in New Zealand and Iceland, lay hidden for long years, while a tide of trappers, explorers and hunters surged by and beyond 1t. John Colter of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first white man to record a visit. This was in 1S046 and along in 1S40 James Bridges saw some of the geysers. but 1t remained for the Washbrun-Doane Expedition in 1870 to give the first authentic account of this wonderful place. It took many years for people to believe that such wonders existed on this continent though a member of the American Fur Company tried to give an idea of the marvels in small paper published in Buffalo in 1s42.
 Though there are over thirty we'll known geysers in the Park the animals appear totally unaware of their exist ence unless 1t be that they are prudent enough not to get close to the hot waters. Here, in this Yellowstone Park. which Is located at the headwa- ters of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, we have not alone some of the most marvellous of known geysers, but the largest game preserve. It Is in- to all of the American peo- pie. for 1t is the home of animals which otherwise would become extinct and be known to future generations only by name and picture.

 The following property shall be ex enlpt from taxation: Public property used exclusively for public purposes churches and parsonages used eX- clusively as such; school buildings apparatus, equipment, income, ma terials, grounds and permanent en- dowment funds, not invested in real estate, used exclusively for the main- tenance and use of libraries and insti- not for private profit of any person or corporation"
 It seems probable that this much of the article will stand as the propon- ents of the different views have ac- cepted it as compromise measure.
 It does not include however, provi- sion for a graduated land tax, for which provision will be submitted by the special committee to whom the subject was referred. The proposal agreed upon follows:
 "The law making power of the state may, in addition to the regu-. lar tax imposed thereupon, provide for a graduated excess tax on land values alone, exclusive of improve ments, where the aggregate values Of such lands, exclusive Of yimnrOve- ments. owned by person. firm, asso- oio eff poration exceeds the sum of $1O,OO0. No such tax shall exceed in any one year the rate of five per centum of the value of sait. lands exclusive of Improvements. nor shall it be levied against any homestead, regardless of value; provided. that no tax shall be collected under this provision with in five years from and after the adop- tiOn of this constitution"
 The following proposal by Dele gate Nelson of Mississippi, was re- iected hy vote of ca to 26
 "The failure of any person, firm. corporation, or association to prop erly list his, it's or their property for taxation according to the provisions of this constitution, shall forfeit to the state the value of such property be any kind of indebtedness, failure to properly list the same for taxa. tion shall forfeit the owners right to collect the said indebtedness.
