OF YELLOWSTONE CALLED PLUM L0C0' WHEN
 HE DESCRIBED THE CEYSERS

me the biggest liar west of the Mis- you bunch of cowstall bums!"
 Those cowboys who lived after Bridger were willing to admit the righteousness of his story. They were the first to see Yellowstone after word was sent out that the great park was in the making. The playground of Gods Country" found by Jim Briger, their pal, was to become the most famous spot of scenic beauty on the face of this mans great, green, gor- geous earth.
 But Yellowstone today exceeds in beauty the wonders of it's embryo being as described by Bridger. Things of beauty are there now that never were seen by the cowboys of Jim's day.
 And some of the things described by Bridger are not there. Nor were they ever there. The trees in Yellow stone are not blue, and the sky is not pink, and the water in the great lake is not the color of red ink, and the geysers do not spout molten metal Further, there are no grizzly bears poking their noses from woodland crevices at passersby The "denizens of the woods" now are hapless bears, tanned to meet the demand of modern days.
 On June IS more than 100000 wis .itors from throughout the world are ex- pected to view the exquisite beauties of this great park. The semi-centen- Inial celebration will begin on that date, in accordance with Congressional bill, passed in March, 1872, which cre- ated the park.

ASHTON, Idaho, June 7.-Labeled as the biggest liar west of Missouri" ;" Jim Bridger, cowboy, died twenty years before the world learned that he told the truth.
 Bridger discovered the natural won- Park. Riding out over the "rim of nowhere he discovered boiling water spouting from the earth and saw ten drills of smoke towering toward heaven.
 Cowboys didn't talk much back in the sixties" But Bridger did talk. He told his comrades about the won ders he had discovered And, in cow boy jargon, he was given the merry ha-ha!"
 Plum loco," derided his pals of the corral. "Daffy as the demented granddad of an alligator-crazy as a brunei"
 "Loco," explains Philip Ashton Rol- lins, Princeton graduate, who has writ ten a history of cowboys and their ways, means madness. The boys all thought Jim was loco because he told them he had seen geysers gush- ing up steaming water from the bowels of the earth. It sounded like an Ara bian Night story to them.
 And so Jim was branded the big gest liar west of the Missouri That appellation clung to his memory for twenty years after his death.
 "The truth of his discovery now is given to the world in Yellowstone Ma tional Park. His story about the gey- seys proved real. Jim Bridger discov- cred Yellowstone National Park and didn't know it. He was laughed to scorn by his playmates of the plains"
 In 1869 c. w. Cook and David Fol som, hearing the persistent stories of Bridger, decided to investigate. They rode out to the land of the geysers and discovered what now is Yellowston National Park. They were followed by the Washburn expedition, members of which conceived the idea of a national park. Their idea was capitalized, and near Madison June tion today you will find marker dat ed September 19, 1870, which sets forth the national park idea. In the party that conceived the idea for the birth of Yellowstone Park were Gen. eral H. D. Washburn, Lieutenant G. C.. Doane and several civilians.
 Were Jim Bridger alive today he might slap his riding chaps and chortle at his fellows of the corral:
