President Harding, In announcing this admin
istration policy, was not anticipating popular de-
mand so much as answering 1t. The truth Is that
the American people have within the last three
years adopted our nineteen national parks as
part of their conception of the greatness of their
nation. Hands OFF, applies to the national
parks as well as to Old Glory. They are eager
to defend them and to keep them inviolate. And
they have developed organized strength through
the affiliation of dozen nationwide organ
izatons to that congress shall legislate wisely
concerning the national parks. The announce
ment of the conservation policy was received with
nationwide delight. The national park enthusi-
asts hoped that the conservation policy would be
broadened to uphold Secretary Lanes important
plank.
Yellowstone also gets into the limelight this
season because President Harding paid it a two
days visit on his way to Alaska The Presidents
party went in and out through the north entrance
and did about $50 miles of motoring in seeing
various points Of interest. On the Continental
Divide they drove through snowbanks. The Pres
fdent went yachting on Yellowstone lake-un-
damned. He saw many wild animals and fed
gingerbread and molasses to a black bear and her
cub. He saw the Painted Terraces of Mammoth
Hot Springs. Old Faithful geyser spouted $50
feet into the air every sixty-flve minutes for
hm-as 1t does for every visitor The photograph

Mrs Harding. under escort of Superintendent Hor.

the sight-one Of the grandest and most beau
tifpl In the world.
Just sixtythree yearS-1S07-1S70-were re-
quired to put Yellowstone the map; the Ameri-
can people simply wouldn't believe there was any
such place. The Lewis and Clark expedition of
lS04-06 passed close by it, but the Indians never
mentioned It, considering 1t the abode of EVIL

Golfer, a member of the party who went back
to trap beaver discovered it In 1907 Upon his
return to St. Louis in 1910 the people dubbed II
"Colter's He'll" and laughed him and his tale out
of court. James Bridger redlscovered 1t about
1928 and the public said Just another of Jim
Brdger's big yarns" The gold prospectors Of
1862 described 1t and were set down as liars. II
took the Washburn-Langford expedition Of 1870 to
make the people believe in Its wonders. The men,
bers Of that expedition were for pre-empting the
scenic points and making their fortunes Cor
nellus Hedges rebuked them and proposed the
national park plan-the first in all history. The
park was established by act of congress In 1872
and Yellowstone celebrated its sem-centennial
last fall.
Yellowstone contains 3,84s square miles-S114
in Wyoming, 1893 In Montana and SO In Idaho.
Big as 1t is the plan Is to enlarge It by the addi-
tion of many square miles to the south-the Jack
son Hole country. which contains Jackson lake
and the Teton mountains and is a natural part of
the park.
