The majority of the elk in Jackson
Hole range during the summer and
fall on the Wyoming State game
refuge, which lies between these
two proposed park additions.
This refuge has been closed to
hunting for many years. The crea-
ton of these parks would undoubt-
eddy make it advisable hal the state
game commission open to hunting
certain areas in this refuge. This
would practically benefit the people
of middle and eastern Wyoming as
it would give them a much better
hunting country than what they
have at present.

Undoubtedly those who spend Their
summers here return to life's duties
better men and better women.
But the tourist who pays so lib
orally will cease to come If we des.

When you gaze at the Teton
Mountains from a distance they look
grim and bare. But when the bold
ones climb back far or enter those
frowning gorges they find many
sweet surprises. There are lakes and
lakes unnamed, waterfalls that leap
so far they end in spray, cliffs with
yawning caves and slopes so density
carpeted with flowers that they
perfume all the air and always there
is the expectant thrill of seeing
bear. deer, moose. elk, or mountain
sheep.
Let us turn the administration of
this region over to the n national
bureau that promises to keep it for
ever just as it existed when our pio-
neers first gazed upon it.
For ages the Teton peaks were

with no equipment and no training,

Nerve to burn it with, in Two

Legion of Honor Medals for a

worth two quarts of Iron Crosses.
Englishmen have even been known
to sacrifice their afternoon tea for

after the war an American private,
occupying the Ruhr, went into a
German Restaurant and asked for
a glass of Milk. He couldn't make
