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,-
1855 feet. The west slope Of this range
contains the headwaters Of the Vel
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 (13,741) and Mount Mo-
ran Q2,1OO). Grand Teton has been
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 Vel
lowstone. 1t is supposed to number
about $1,000 head. AS national parks
upon establishment automatically be-
come Wild animal life sanctuaries, en-
i 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 rhe 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 its 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
its influence has been world wide. The
world saw in it ii new thing in civili-
Zation-the establishment of a public
playground in perpetuity for the peo-
pie of IA 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
