OLD SIGNATURE OF JOHN MUIR
 GIVEN MUSEUM

YOSEMITE, Cal, Eov. 25. john Muir's signature is on an old Yosemite Valley hotel register which has been been placed in the governments new museum nere The hotel was the La Casca Nevada and was conducted here for several years after 1870. Muir registered at the hotel in 1872 from Oakland, Cal.
 The great uaturalist's love for Yosc- mite. in all its moods, is shown by a letter he wrote from here at that time describing a great storm
 "Wc have had the grandest flood that has occurred in three years" the letter said. More than loo falls averaging near 5000 feet in height sang together in glorious jubilee"
 Muir's account of loo waterfalls has not been duplicated in recent years. Last spring. after the rains. twenty five cataracts were counted on the val ley walls
 Many Europeans visited Yosemite back in the seventies. according to tho hotel registers one party, headed by A. II. T. Bruce If London, in l>15 gave J. C. Smith. proprietor of ta" Cosmopolitan Hotel another valley hostolr. a gorgeous ebony, gold and silver lemon squ.cznr. des.@"rd for ,oncoetion of drinks DOW prohibited. The lemon sluoozor in the museum here.
 An important feature of the museum is a geological collection made by F F.. Mathos of the United States Geological Survey and d start has been made on a collection of chronological and be- tanical specimens
 In the museum also is the only known specimen Of Piutc Indian rab- bit blanket made from the skins of several hundred rabbits. Rabbit blan- kets long ago were replaced by the cheaper wool blankets. Another fea- ture is an old Indian water bottle of lost weave, still soft and pliable and useful despite it's years of existence. The bottle it is thought came from a tribe living near Tulare lake. not far from Yosemite, early in the eighteenth century.
 The museum was established here as part of the National Park Service s plan to provide sources of accurate, in- formation for visitors who see in the parks something more than places of recreation. Ansel F. Hall Yosemite authority. is curator of the museum.

FORT NORMAN OIL FIELDS ENJOY LONG
 PERIODS DAYLIGHT

OTTAWA. Nov. 25.- Presidents of the Fort Norman oil fields newly dis covered in the remote northwest of Canada along the Mackenzie river, forget whether it is day or night This is the result of the long periods of daylight
 It was brought out in an incident re- lated by o. s. Finnie, of the Canadian Department of the Interior, who has recently returned from Fort Norman. On one occasion on his trip, a native accosted MT. Finnie, asking the time of the day.
 It's II o'clock" was the reply.
 Day or night?" inquired the native. with a lanquid glance at the sun which had been shining continually for days
 Mir Finnie explained that the long sunlight periods apparently take away from the natives all sense of time and they eat when they are hungry and sleep when they want to without reference to what elsewhere are night hours.
 Vegetables grow exceptionally well in the far north says MT. Finnie who attributes this to the long days. Pota- toes, turnips. celery and ordinary vege- tables yield excellent crops,
