trails and plenty of mountain climbing.
The territory to be added contains
approximately thousand square miles
and is known to big game hunters as
the Jackson Hole country. 1t contains
the sort of scenery that Yellowstone
lacks. The Absaroka Range along the
east boundary contains several lofty
peaks and Younts Peak runs up to 12,-
165 feet. The west slope Of this range
contains the headwaters of the Yel-
lowstone river. The south boundary
runs along Buffalo fork to the Snake
river at Jackson lake. The west line
runs along the Teton range. Included
in. the addition are Jackson lake,
Grand Teton (13,74D and Mount Mo-
ran (12,10O. Grand Teton has been
a famous landmark since the early
days of the fur trade and Jackson
Hole was the last refuge Of organized
bad men, cattle rustlers and horse
thieves. 1t was unknown land when
Yellowstone was established in 1872.
The Jackson Hole elk herd is an en-
tirely different herd from that of Yel-
lowstone. 1t is supposed to number
about $4,000 head. AS national parks
upon establishment automatically be-
come wild animal life sanctuaries, en-
largement of Yellowstone would save
the herd.
The addition of the Jackson Hole
country will work many changes in
Yellowstone. A planned feature is an
automobile highway from Moran to the
Cody road, around the east side of
Yellowstone lake, thus making third
loop. A hotel will be established on
this loop north of Jackson lake. The
south entrance will be developed The
automobile highways to Victor and
Lander, both railroad points, will be
improved. Improved highway connec-
ton with the Lincoln Highway will
be made to accommodate private au-
tomobile travel. These improvements
to the south entrance will give it at
least it's full share of travel. The
south entrance route is the shortest
between Rocky Mountain and Yellow
stone. Presumably automobile camp
ers will find the addition the most de-
sirable part of the park.
The fame of Yellowstone National
park has spread over all the earth and
it's influence has been world wide. The
world saw in it a new thing in civili-
zation-the establishment of a public
playground in perpetuity for the peo-
pie of a nation. The world found it
good and the example has been fol-
lowed by many nations, with others
now making ready. The United States
has now eighteen national parks, with
five or more in prospect.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-31

The park lies principally in the
northwest corner of Wyoming, but laps
over little into Idaho and Montana.
It's area is about 3,343 squares miles
or 2,142,7 ,720 acres. It's altitude is g.
600 to 11,000 feet. There are four
entrances: Gardiner on the north; ;
Cody on the east Moran on the south,
and Yellowstone on the west. All ex-
cept Moran are railroad points. In
1918 the travel by entrance was:
North, 1854; east, 4,401; south, 542;
west, STOP.
Tourist travel goes over belt road
which forms two large loops, resembles
lures of the north two-thirds Of the
park. Three-fifths of the tourist travel
| is by private automobile and the pro-
portion is growing larger each year.
Yellowstone Lacks Scenery.
This, then is the lay of the land.
Yellowstone is by far the biggest Of
the 18 national parks and is the best
developed. It's geysers are as unique
as the big trees of Sequoia, the lake
of Crater Lake and the canon of Grand
Canon. Why, then should it be en-
larged by the addition of territory to
the south approximately equal to one
third Of it's present area?
The comprehensive answer is: The
Yellowstone is too small. The natural
question: then, is, Why is the Yellow
stone too small? There are several an
swers, including these three:
Because it lacks scenery.
Because the region to the south is a
natural part of the park.
Because the elk to the south are in
danger of extinction.
Yellowstone does lack scenery Of the
majestic kind. It's peaks are not lofty
and rise from high plateau. Its gey-
sers, hot springs, paint pots, etc., are
freak scenery. In short, the Yellow
stone does not hold the tourist. In the
days of the stage coach it took the
tourist about five days to see the Yel-
lowstone; then he was ready to leave.
Now the automobile has cut his stay
in half. And he is not likely to re-
turn. In strong contrast are such
parks as Rocky Mountain and Yosemite.
There the average stay is at least two
weeks, while many thousands go regu-
larly every season, stay a month or
more and look upon the park as their
summer home.
The official attendance figures tell
the story: Yellowstone, last four sea-
sons, 51,895; $3.50; 35,4O0; 21,275;
Rocky Mountain, $1,000; $1,000; Ill.,
1856; 101, ,497. The 1918 decrease in
both parks was due to wartime condi-
tions: increase in railroad fares and
government encouragement of pleas
ure travel. The travel by private au-
tomobile held it's own. The hotels in
Yellowstone were not open.
The national park service would
change the Yellowstone conditions and
would begin by enlarging the park.
In addition it has extensive plans for
making the Yellowstone attractive.
These include golf, tennis, improved
fishing, model automobile camps, new

Plans are being made to establish a
pictorial record of the work women

ton of employers of the country in
assembling these pictures.
Thousands of hats discarded bv
English women are exported every
year to Brazil, where they are eagerly
bought by the Indians. The feathers
and other ornaments on the hats are
taken by the men, and the bare straw
shapes given to their women folk.

for a new life belt for novice swim
mers that consists of a broad strip of
canvas with sealed metal floats at the
front and back.

earth and the most famous Of big
game preserves, will probably receive
large addition of territory to the
south from the Sixty-sixth congress.
A bill for this addition was introduced
IN the last congress, was passed by
the house and was shelved in the SEN
ate in the confusion of the last days of
the last session.
Yellowstone has most romantic his

John Golfer. We bought the Louisi.
ana territOry-the land between the
Mississippi and the ROckies-of Ma
pOleOn in 1902, without knowing any
thing about this garden spot Of the
world. The Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton of 1804-6, which made the round
trip from st. Louis to the mouth of the
Columbia river to find out what we
had bought, passed within few miles
Of the north end Of the park without
even suspecting its existence. Golfer
was one Of the party and secured his
discharge before reaching st. Louis to
turn back and trap beaver. Golfer re-
turned to St. Louis in 1910. The pub
Tic laughed at his story and derisively
dubbed this geyser land "Colter's
He'll" Only one man believed him
his old commander, Capt. William
Clark, who put his 1907 route on the
official map of the expedition.
In the '2Os James Bridger, the IA
nous plainsman, rediScOvered ,"COl-
ter's Hell" and told Of it's wonders.
But Bridger was a genius in telling
"tall yarns"-his obsidian cliff, and
hot spring stories are classics in the
West to this day. "Just another of
Jim Bridger's yarns" was the popular
verdict. Prospectors who flocked to
the region during various gold excite
ments discovered the Yellowstone the
third time. But it was not until 1870
that the country believed in "Colter's
He'll" Then there was popular enthu-
siasm and in 1872 the Yellowstone was
set aside by act Of congress as a ma
tional park-a public playground for
the people of the United States for
ever.
Millions in Improvements.
During the first Ia years of it's ex-
istence as a national park Yellowstone
was administered by civilian superin-
tendents good, bad and Indifferent.
Congress sometimes appropriated
funds for the park and often did not.
BY 1886 conditions were so bad in the
park and poachers were killing off the
big game so fast that the management
was turned over to the army. The
army record was excellent. With the
creation of the national park service,
two years ago, exclusive control is now
In this new bureau Of the interior de-
partment, which is charged with ad-
ministration Of all national parks.
On the whole, congress has been fair
ly liberal in appropriations. These to-
tai 1880, ,523.94 to July 1, 1919. There
are 27S miles Of main and 25 miles of
secondary road and nearly 400 miles
of fairly well-marked trails. Fifteen
ranger stations are maintained; these
are connected with headquarters near
the north entrance by 27O miles Of tel
ephone.

BRIDEGROOM.

Contrary to general opinion, "bride-
groom" has nothing to do with groom.
1t is from an old English word guma,
a man; hence brydguma, the brides
man.
