HEAVY RAIN In PARK
WARMLY WELCOMED

A heavy rain in Yellowstone park
was hailed with considerable enthus-
iasm by park officials last Friday
inasmuch as it greatly reduced for
est fire dangers and furnished hope
that range for the thousands of
game animals will be available this
season.
The rain after one of the
driest months in the history of the
park, May having been the driest
of n month in the last 80 years.
according to records of precipitation
kept at the United States weather
bureau at Mammoth hot springs.
The drouth which was broken
Friday has been a source Of appre-
hension to park officials, who feared
that the dry weather would destroy
the usual forage grass and many
the elk and bison herds within the
park would suffer severely during
the coming winter. Although tourist
parties number but few at this time
of year, the constant danger of for
est fires due to the dry weather has
caused the ranger force to be in
creased and tourist travel was dis
couraged to some extent until after
the drouth.
The rainstorm was preceded by a
high wind which lasted the entire
forenoon, it was reported, and tel
ephone communication to the west
side of the park was crippled as a
result of the storm. The road from
southern entrance in the Jackson
Hole district was reported passable
for the first time Friday. although
officials state that the southern en-
trance will not be open for tourist
travel until June 10.

Matching a baby chick from a dou-
BILE yolked egg and which is tn
possessor of four legs, one member
of the extra pair attached to the
back just below the wings and the
other just below it. At the time
of writing the chicken was lively
and apparently healthy. and If Mrs.
Mouat is successful in bringing it

worth considerable to her from a
financial standpoint, while this Is
a particular variety of ~"yellow-leg-
ged fries" would undoubtedly be
come popular among the poultry
