WyOmingites Neglect
Park

Nearly five thousand automobiles
entered Yellowstone park during
June. The greatest number from
any state, nearly seven hundred, bore
California license numbers. Mon
tana sent the second greatest num-
Der, more than six hundred, and
Washington the third greatest. less
than three hundred.
Information concerning the numb
er of cars from other individual
states, including Wyoming, during
the month are not available but the
fact that Washington, which sent
less than three hundred cars to the
park, ranked ahead of Wyoming es-
tablishes hat comparatively few Wy
omingites are visiting the park.
There are more than forty thousand
automobiles in this state. Probably
less than one-half of one per cent
of this number entered Yellowstone
during June. At that rate only about
three e cent of the Wyoming cars
would be driven into the park dur
ing the whole of the 1925 season.
We are less interested, it appears,
in the marvellous region which is
within the boundaries of Wyoming
than are persons residing afar from
hat region. Perhaps it is a case of

Ventilating System
Recently Installed
in Strand Theatre

An air washed cooling system
which never permits the temperature
in the building to go over 65 degrees
has recently been installed in the
Strand Theatre building in this city.
With the installing of this system
the advertisement, THE Coolest
Place in Town holds true and resi-
dents of this city can attend the
show and know that they will spend
a cool enjoyable evening.
The system has been in the build
ing for some time but it has been
only recently that the washed air
part has been put in. A large motor
sucks air through sprayed water,
which is in an already cool base
ment. The cool air going through
cold water is further cooled and is
forced through a number of vents
which lead into the main theatre sec
ton. The same number of out-lead-
ing vents carry the air that is in
the building to the outside making
a complete circulation.

Auto Travel to
Yellowstone Park
Heavier This Year

YELLOWSTONE PARK, WYO.,
JULY 21.- Approximately IA per-
cent of the automobiles registered at
all entrances to Yellowstone National
Park during the month of June were
from California, according to the
travelling statistics recently compiled
by the Department of the Interior.
OF the total Abs cars entering the
park, 65S were California licensed
and carried a total of 1,749 passen-
gers.
Montana, the bordering state of
the park was second highest in the
number of cars entering. but carried
a greater number of tourists than the
California cars, their registration
being 632 cars, with a total of
1862 passengers. Many of these
.lowstone and for this reason carry
more passengers than cars from dis
tant sections of the country, espec-
tally where camping equipment is
used by the tourists.
Washington is accredited with
third honors in registration, PA
ars and a total of SIS tourists. Many
of these are listed among the early
preseason travel, before June 18th.
With the first month of the e a
son showing registration from every
state in the Union. with the eXcep-
ton of Vermont and New Hampshire
and from Alaska, Canada and Hawaii
park officials are looking forward
to an exceptional year.
Road reports from every section
of the country, and especially the en-
frances to Yellowstone Park, are
coming in favorable every day, many
Of these route are now known to be
in the best of condition and better
than. at any period in their history.

frequent rains and local showers
during June in all except a few local
tiles improved the range three points
to 80 per cent of normal. A year ago
during this period there was a de-
cline of five points, from 1O1 to 90
per cent of normal. Precipitation
during the first six months of 1925
was below normal in nearly every
section and decidedly so in the Ian
der-Riverton districts. Those locali-
ties having an excess of normal
rainfall are: Chugwater, Beaver,
Laramie, Lowell, Newcastle, and
Sheridan. In most of the deficient
sections, however, grass had an early
start and is making good. Noun
tain ranges are in excellent condi-
ton and stock water is sufficient
for the season. Prospects are very
good for a large hay crop, altho in
some localities the first cutting of
alfalfa is somewhat lighter than at
first expected. The condition of
farm pastures is 95 per cent of nor
NAL, one point above that of last
month.
With an vel abundance of range
feed, cattle have made an improve
ment of one pont in condition during
June, being reported at 102 per
cent of normal now. There was no
change reported in their condition
during this period last year Ranges
were open early the past spring and
with continued favorable conditions
prevailing, cattle have made rapid
gains. 1t is expected that many will
be fat and ready for market early
this fall. Young calves are making
rapid growth, the crop being larger
than the average for the past sever
al years. A few losses from poison
weeds have been reported. Very few
trades have been made but prices
have a tendancy to advance and gen
eral prospects are sopewhat brighter
than they were a year ago. The for
casted production of corn based on
the July l condition is 3,095,176,OOO
bushels compared with 2,437,000, 900
in 1924 and the five year average
production of 2,935,000, 600 bushels
Low priced corn this fall should
strengthen the demand for feeder
cattle as the number of hogs expect
ed to be on hand at hat time is
somewhat smaller than last year.
The condition of sheep remains
the same as the high point of 104
per cent of normal last month. AL
though a year ago the same condition
was reported for July l as for June
/, los per cen of normal. With
the completion of one of the most
favorable Landing and shearing sea-
sons, large numbers of range sheep
were transferred to the mountain
ranges for the summer. The ranges
are reported in excellent condition
and sheep, especially lambs, should
make rapid gains. Lambs are strong
and thrifty, the crop being better
than normal due largely to small loss
es and a great number of twins this
spring. Quite a few losses of grown
sheep from eating poison weeds have
been reported. Fleeces are averag-
ing a little heavier than those of last
year and the quality of wool is good.
Most of the clip has either been sold
or consigned at very remunerative
prices.
The estimated sugar beet acreage
for the United States Is somewhat
smaller than that of 1924, the larg-
est decrease coming from Colorado,
