Excluding coal. the volume of ali
other kinds of freight offered and
loaded is now greatest in two years.
During the week ended July Is. load
ines Of all commodities except coal
amounted to 1S3,5I3 cars which was
but one percent below the record
week of october IS. 1920 In that
week, loadings showed the highest
total in the history of American rail-
lOading.
Coal loadinGs for the week of July
- amounted 10 1884 cars, an in
crease Of more than $500 cars over
the preceding week. During the cor
responding week last year. however,
coal loadings amounted to nearly
twice this total. Coal loadings, there
fore, are running about one-half of
the rate established in 1921.
All records Of two years are being
shattered by loadings Of commodities
Ike grain, cnhe, live stock, forest
products, and non ore.
During the first week Of the shop
workers strike, loadnSs fell off
sharply % hnt S,319 cars. This was
4 loss Of l5S.000 cars over the pre-
ccd.ng week ended July ! when the

PRESS COMMENT
Fifty Years of Yellowstone

The superintendent of Yellow
stone National park has been pre-
siding over a semicentennlal cele-
bration. Fifty years ago-in 1877
Congress created a national reser-
walton in Wyoming, Idaho, Mon
tana for the use and enjoyment of
the people of the United States. 1t
was the first national park estab-
hshed.
At the time national parks must
have seemed luXuries, and any
form of protection for game or
trees kind Of superhuous activity.
The great need then was apparent
" still the tanning of Amenca and
not its preservation in the wild.
The first transcontinental railroad
had just been built, there were
warlike Indians still in the North
west and Southwest. Oklahoma
was unnamed, Alaska was thought
to be Stewards folly and pine and
redwood were of little more value
than weeds. But Yellowstone was
created, nevertheless, and set a
precedent of the greatest import
ance.
For, in spite of our apparently
ineXhaustible resources, we were
in need of conservation in 1872.
We needed to conserve our game
our forests, our regions of remark
able beauty then lying open to use
by almost anyone for almost any
purpose. Yellowstone was doubt
less an educative influence in the
period preceding the creation of
additional national parks the pro-
lection of watersheds, and the
saving of forests. 1t is today the
biggest of all our reservations
larger than Delaware-and of
them all preserves plimeval Amer
lea best. Nowhere else is there
more variety, and nowhere else
such teeming wild life-elk, grizzly
buffalo, antelope, mountain sheep.
Yellowstone is a symbol ofwork
done and work undone. The i'm
pulse back of Yellowstone keeps US
from the fate of treeless China. 1t
was not early or stron~ enough
to keep US from losing most of our
wild game and most our timber.
Yet the fight for which it stands
is still being carried on, and there
are still important victories to be
won in behalf of conservation of
existing resurces and a restoration
of some we have lost.-New York
