YELLOWSTONE JUBILEE YEAR

This year celebrates the golden an
niversary of the Yellowstone as
Americas greatest national park.
When, on June 10, the train that
carries the first regular travellers to
the old playground in its gala fiftieth
year leaves Salt Lake City for the
park, at West Yellowstone, every de
luxe car in it's makeup and every
person aboard will be a tribute and a
vindication to a man once called the
greatest liar of his time-the man
who not only discovered the Yellow
stone, but Great Salt Lake as well.
Early in the SOS solitary trapper
pushed through an unknown, Indian
Tested region to the north of the great
TETON range. He had left the country
of the Crows and Sioux behind and,
pushing toward that of the Black
foot tribe, crossed divide and en-
tered a region such as he in all his
wanderings had never before seen or
dreamed of. Below him was valley
from which rose a thousand smokes,
and as his way led him down into it,
he passed hot, bubbling springs and
saw that the smokes were jets of liv-
ing streams.
Coming to the valleys floor, he
stood aghast, for, with a roar, gil
gantic column of boiling water and
steam rose in front of him a hundred
feet high. ..l....
jim Bridger had discovered the
Yellowstone.
Imagine poor old Bridger's predic-
ament when he returned to civiliza-
ton with his tales of boiling hot
springs, "as big as a mans body,
spouting higher than the fagpole in
Virginia City;" of gushing, roar
ing hell back there in the mountains,
filled with wonders such as no man
had ever seen before.
Bridger had acquired reputation
far and wide as the inventor Of unbe-
lievably wild tales with which to re-
gale the tenderfoot. And now that
he had really seen the most marve-
lous thing of its kind in the world, a
thing that out-stripped even his wild
est imaginations, no one would be-
lieve him. People of the day proposed
to carve as his epitaph:
Here LIES Jim Bridger.
But the tales excited curiosity, and
in 1869 David Folsom, C. w. Cook and
a helper named Peterson penetrated
up to Yellowstone Lake, afterwards
crossing over to the Firehole River
and up as far as the Lower Geyser
Basin. They didn't even get as far
as Old Faithful, or see the wonders
surrounding it, but what they did see
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-06-02

was so wonderful that they hesitated
to tell their story to any but intimate
friends lest they acquire a reputation
like Bridger's.
Following them came the Washburn
expedition, organized by Nathaniel
Pitt Langford, which visited Yellow
stone Lake, all of the geyser basins
and Yellowstone Canyon and Falls,
and named Mt. Washburn, Old Faith
full Geyser and other now famous
points in the Wonderland.
AS the direct result of their work
the bill creating the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park was passed by Congress
March 1, 1872.--New York Tribune.

Victim, OF Amnesia Is Again Re-
united With Family; Disap-
peared In Texas.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
Albert Lea, Mimi, November II.
An item in an eastern new spaper
under an Albert Lea, Mimi, date
line was the key which unlocked
the memory of Carl F1askerud, a
victim of amnesia for the last four
years. and resulted in his being re.
united with his family.
According to the story told today
Flaskerud' disappeared four years
ago and was believed to hava per-
ished in Texas food. He left a
wife and two children.
Flaskeruds loss of memory was
due to injuries received when q
boiler exploded on the tug ON which
he was working. He was taken to
Johns Hopkins hospital for treat
ment and was later discharged as
cured. From there he went to Phil :
adelphia, where he was known as
Carl Olson.
The news item this summer re-
called a familiar name and he de-
cided to visit Albert Lea TO see ii
he could not find" himself. When
he got 10 the first station south OF
Albert Lea last Saturday he recog
nized the village. Leaving the train
he walked to his former home
There his name was spoken and
the past cleared.

KELLOGG TO RETIRE
Junior United States Senator Will
Return To Practice of Law

JUNIOR united states senator WIN
Return To Practice of Law
Senator Frank B. Kellogg will re-
tire absolutely from public life when
his term ends March 4, his friends
said today, discounting reports
iIom Washington that he may accepl
appointment as justice of the United
States supreme court.
During President Tafts admin :
stration, they said, Senator Kellogg
v as offered supreme court post
and declined it. He had never been
"a candidate for high office then. He
WAS drafted" to run for the senator
ship six years ago, and felt that in
that position he occupied a place
next in Importance only TO the pres
ident and speaker of the house.
Since election and before leaving
has talked things over with some
of his friends. He told them that he
is through with public life and will
return TO the practice of law with d
sense of relief. He severed his con-
nection with his old law firm before
entering the senate. but probably
will resume that connection after
ending his term.
Senator Kellogg will be sixty years
old next month. His age would be
against his appointment TO the
bench, even if he wished the place.
The matter of age was waived in the
appointment of Chief Justice VIII
liam II. Taft, and might be in the
case of Senator Kellogg. His own
attitude, however, precludes the pos
sibility of his remaining at Wash
ington in any capacity.

cLAGUE ASSISTS VETERANS
Second District Congressman Aiding
Soldier Agriculturists

In the November issue Of the Re-
view of Reviews there is an article
which is exceptionally interesting
telling of how disabled veterans of
the last war are making good in ag-
ricultural pursuits. w..
There are two colonies now OF
veterans in Minnesota which state
is taking the lead in helping crippled
soldiers. One of the colonies is about
fifteen miles south of Minneapolis
which is called the Argonne Farms,
and the other farms for the veterans
are about ninety miles north of Min
neapolis and is called Veteransville.
There are some thirty odd veterans
ing each of the two colonies. Con-
gress is figuring on assisting the
men in their undertakings. The ar
ticle in the Reviews among other
things has the following to say:
"Mr. Clague, representative of the
Second Congressional district of
Minnesota, is supporting the request
of the men at Veteransville to the
Quartermaster General of the Army
for equipment from the army sur
plus stores in the form of tractors,
plows, wagons, fencing wire and
other articles useful in their land
