amateur symphony orchestra; to ar ford an opportunity for ensemble play ing under competent leadership for the more serious minded amateurs. All in- struments including piano will be rep resented except the saxophone as only classical music will be on the carefully selecter program. A novel feature is that there will be talks regarding the different composers and their work 50 as to afford the student a clearer under standing and appreciation of the ideas expressed by the masters.
 The Birmingham conservatory is to be commended for it's pioneer work and efforts to bring good music into the homes of our city, and it is to be hoped that this innovation will find the hearti- est support of all amateurs. A very moderate tuition fee should make this offer doubly attractive. Those desiring to avail themselves of this opportunity may enroll by making arrangements with the secretary of the Birmingham conservatory, who will also be glad to supply additional information regarding this course,

atory Of Music Organizes
 Orchestra

The announcement elsewhere in this paper by the Birmingham Conservatory of its decision to organize an amateur symphony orchestra under the able leadership of MT. Harry Schmidt is one that is sure to arouse much interest and enthusiasm among Birmingham music lovers and amateurs.
 Mir. Schmidt, who has held such i'm portant positions as violinist Tn the opera and symphonic orchestra of Petersburg, Russia; Dorunund, Dussel- dorf, Cologne and Helsingfors, Finland, before coming to this country IS well known to the Birmingham public as an artist of pleasing personality. He is quite enthusiastic about the new or sanitation: "Right here in Birining- ham, he says, we have any number of amateurs of sufficient training and technique who would make excellent material from which to build up an orchestra that would be credit to the community" But the main point is, how beneficial such an opportunity would prove for the individual amateur. He may not be aware of the fact him. self, but all trained musicians agree that nothing helps the amateur as much as orchestra work, in fact it is the only way for him to acquire the polish and musical understanding that differen- tiates his playing from that of the pro- fessional musician.
 In, European countries where music in the home and ensemble playing by amateurs is practiced more widely than in this country it is matter of com mon occurrence to find these amateur orchestras in the smallest towns contrib uting in no small way to the entertain ment of the community at the same time filling many hours with genuine enjoyment for the players themselves.
 This then is the purpose of the new

1t is reasonable to predict that
practically all of these travel
discouraging influences will be alb
sent next year and that Yellowstone
National Park travel will exceed
100000 individuals. Government
authorities in charge Of the park,
the public utilities Of the park, the
railroads reaching its various en-
frances. and gateway cities and
towns are preparing already for
travel such as the Yellowstone re-
gion has never before experienced.
OF the total travel this year A.
054 persons came by rail, 100,1S5
by automobile, 225 by motorcycle,
and 1859 on horseback and on foot,
and preseason unclassified 1924.
The rail travel of 41,054 persons
compared with last years figure of
44,S06. The 100,1S6 automobile
visitors came in 30,6S9 cars. Last
year there were 91,224 automobile
visitors in 27,359 cars.
The Cody Gateway, or eastern en-
trance proved the most popular for
automobile tourists. $3.50 cars,
carrying 32,2S5 persons arrived
there during the season, compared
with $3.50 ears with 1850 persons
at the West Yellowstone Gateway
or western entrance; S,199 ars with
26,553 persons at the northern en-
trance, holder of this record last
year, and ASH cars with 9,76S per-
sons at the southern entrance.
The western was the most patron
lied rail entrance. Twenty thous-
and four hundred and nine visitors
arrived there by rail; compared
with 13,439 at the Gardiner Gate
way, $500 at the eastern entrance,
and 207 at the southern.
The automobile travel totals in
clude LIB cars and 2,317 visitors
who entered the park more than once
during the season.
Visitors to the park came from
every state in the Union, from Alas
ka, the Philippines, Hawaii and the
Canal Zone. and from twenty three
foreign countries, including England
and seven other countries of the
British Empire.
Illinois again leads the list of rail
visitors, $500 residents of this state
having been classified: New York
Is second with 1888 visitors coming
by rail. Ohio third with Bis, and
Pennsylvania fourth with 2,9OS.
One-fourth of all of the visitors
coming to the park by train came
from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio.
Montana leads the list of states
sending travellers to the Park in
their own cars. having 1855 Of her
citizens registering at the gates dur
ing the summer. The second larg-
est number of motorists, S.7S7, came
from California. In rail visitors
California ranks sixth. as 1t did last
year.
There were 123 makes Of cars in
the park and five makes Of motor
cycles.

tering the park in a single day in

MONTHLY MEETING COUNCIL
HELD WEDNESDAY LAST WEEK

The monthly meeting of the City
Board of Trusees was held Oct.
first at the city hall. Besides the
disposal of the routine matters and
many other small matters which
must always be taken care of at the
monthly meetings, the Board heard
two representatives from the Wyom-
ing Poster company of Casper. The
representatives were sponsoring n
move whereby they hoped to get a
franchise to put b~illboards in the
city. the billboards to be put on va
can't lots and other places of advan-
tage to advertising. The Board took
the proposition under ADJUSTMENT
and asked the representatives. to send
a copy of their contract with Casper
to the Board. There was some hes
itancy in considering the PROPOSE
ton for there is a move all over the
United States to get away from clut-
tering up the highways and cities
with many unsightly billboards, thus
~detracting from the beauty of the cit
les. The representatives were sent
to see II. Larsen, President of the
Chamber of Commerce and to report
his ideas. as representing the Cham
Der of Commerce, of the plan.
Another matter which was present
ed by Jack Sheahan, Chief of the
Rawlins Fire Department. was for
tho retiring of the city fire truck
which is badly in need of new tires.
Other than being in need af new
tires. practically all the authorities
on fire truck efficiency and up-keep
advise the placing of pneumatic tires
on the trucks. The Rawlins truck
now has solid rubber tires and as
long as the new tires are needed. 1t
will add to the life OF the truck to
equip It with pneumatic tires. This
proposition was also taken under ad-
yisement for 30 days.

ed the various gateways. This re-
cord was not broken in 1924. The
largest number of visitors entering
in a single day this year was g.
$50 on July 22nd. On each OF II
days, over 1000 people entered the
park. and at the height of the g a
son each day from 5000 to $4,000
were enjoying the park. using hotel
or permanent camp service, or camp
ing out in the big public camping
grounds and using their own equip
ment and supplies. 1t Is estimated
that $4,000 motorists camped out
in the public camping grounds.
Fishing was excellent all season
and over $4,000 trout were caught,
Nearly all park visitors were fort
innate in seeing big game animals in
their native haunts. Bears were par
ticularly numerous in all sections
of the park and gave %boundless
pleasure to travellers along the
roads.

Yellowstone Park
Travel Was 144,15S
Persons This Year

YELLOWSTONE PARK, WYO.,
OCT. Again, during the season
of 1924, all Yellowstone National
Park travel records were broken, &C
cording to official statistics COM
pilation of which has just been COM
pleted.
The total travel was 144,15S per-
ons compared with 1882 in the
season of 1928. OF the total 1894
persons arrived prior to the official
opening which occurred on June 20.
The increase of 5,S06. or nearly 5
per cent, over last seJson's total
travel is regarded by park officials
as an excellent showing, taking into
consideration the facts that cool
weather prevailed in the eastern and
middle western states during most
of the summer; that in the far west
ern states. exceptionally dry weather
conditions detrimentaNy affected
general business and farm condi-
tons: hat hoof and mouth disease
in California, which state always
sends thousands to the Yellowstone
each year. retarded travel from
this great Pacific coast section: and
finally that European steamship
rates were reduced to- such a figure
as to induce travel to Europe that
would ordinarily have come to the
national parks including Yellow
stone.
