an energetic worker for the extern
sion movement. Mr.. Albright stated
that decided land in a national park
was a very common occurrence, that
over $1,000 decided acres rested in
Glacier national, which can only be
excluded from the park over the
protests of the land owners
improvements i'm Yellowstone
Road Improvement have gone for
ward in Yellowstone during the
present year, and many changes will
be noticed by the park visitors an
other season. The lake shore road
is about completed, eliminating the
hot, dusty stretch from the Thumb
to the lake, and doing away with
an IS percent grade, one of the
steepest in the park. The new road
skirts the lake and furnishes the
tourist a new and delightful variety
of mountain scenery.
A project is to be started next
year, beginning at Sylvan lake and
reaching to within the eight or nine
mile post of the loop road. This
project is estimated to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and will
be a great improvement ver the
present route. A survey was made
this summer for a new road over
Sylvan pass, which when completed
will be on a higher level than the
present pass route, and instead of
the 16 per cent maximum grade
which it now has, the new road
will not be over six or seven per
cent at any point. -Four miles of
this road. as surveyed, is estimated
to cost at least $4,000 per mile.
The Cody road is a popular one
now, but with the completion of
the Sylvan pass road, its popularity
will increase MANIFOLD, and the
eastern entrance will be an attrac-
ton equal to the park itself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albright left Friday
morning for Mammoth, going via
Sylvan pass. The snow is getting
deep in the pass and it is very lik-
ly that the Albright party will be
the last inc to enter the park from
the east gate this year.

ALBRIGHT ASKS SUPPORT
PARK EXTENSION PLAN
CONTINUED from Page u

iSOutlnutQ HUN age -
If the park extension plan goes
through, the law is to embody GER
tain restrictions relative to the ad-
ministration of the annexed terri
tory by the park service. In the first
place no automobile roads are ever
to be built in the Upper Yellowstone
and Thorofare sections. No hotels
or concessions are to be sold which
will mar in any way the virgin for
ests as they exist today. These are
some of the requirements which
are being asked of the service be-
fore n aid is given in the extern
sion plan. Supt. Albright stated that
a well improved trail is to be even
tually constructed, leading from the
north eastern boundary of the park
at Cooke City, following along the
high divides to Yountz peake To-
Gated at the southeastern extremity
of the park. The development of
trails for horseback trips is to be
one TO the activities of the Yellow
stone in future years.
Another plan which the park ad-
ministration has in mind, is the
OF all guides sort
of ex officio officers in the park,
and will be permitted to take hunt
ing parties to and from the hunting
fields, through the park, and to
transport game through the park
and carry arms without the necess-
ity of sealing the guns as has been
required.
Mr.. Albright in closing his re-
about the park extension,
asked the people to give the matter
their sane and reasonable consider
alton. He himself. a park officer.
had nothing to gain by the change.
but that in the interest of greater
development of Yellowstone park,
the new project was an important
one All the land, with the excep-
ton of not over foul hundred acres
included in the proposed enlargement
is federal land, from which the
state is receiving little or no rev.
enue at the present time, and which.
as a part of the National forest, is
administrated as such. He stated
that the wner of the 400 acres
of land in question, is very anxious
to be included in the park, and is

MRS. HALLS LEGION
BENEFIT ARMISTICE DAY

Plans are going rapidly forward
for the annual benefit dance
given by Mrs. Lulu Hall to Fred
Coe Post No. 20, American Legion.
Mrs. Hall has sponsored a benefit
dance each year for the veterans
of the World war, and the enter
tainment planned for this year
promised to eclipse any of the pre-
vious efforts.
The dance is to be held at the
on November 18th, Armis-
tice day evening, and many special
features will go toward making it
a dance long to be remembered.
The stage is to be arranged as to
represent an army camp scene with.
camping equipment and other dec
orations to bring out the best eff
feet. 1t is to be mess time all dur
ing the evening, and army eats
such as hard tack, beans, sandwich
es and coffee are to be had in
Each year Mrs. Hall superintends
these benefit dances, personally
meeting all the expenses, and turn
ing into Fred Coe Post treasury the
gross proceeds of the dance.

SOUTHPORT BOY ACQUITTED
HORSE STEALING CHARGE

Leslie Billings, son of Mr.. and
, Mrs. Ernest Billings of Ishawooa
was completely exonerated and ac-
quilted in the justice court of G.
A. Marston on Friday of last week
of all the charges which were made
against him in complaint signed by
William Peterman also of Southfork.
After the prosecution had pre-
ented its only witness, Evan Hol-
man, and the complaining witness,
and they had been cross examined,
the county attorney moved for a
directed verdict of acquittal from
the jury.
The ease grew out of the death
of a colt, said to be the property
of Mr.. Peterman, which had been
picked up alongside the road by
the Billings boy, in a dying condi-
ton, and taken to the n of
his father, where every effort was
made to save its life. With he
death of the colt charges were
preferred against the lad. Holman
testified that the colts mother was
locoed, and that probably the colt
was in the same condition, which
explained its emaciated condition
from starvation. Peterman testified
to the ownership of the colts moth
er, but that he had never seen the
colt.
There was no attempt made to
discredit the boys story and it is
unfortunate that a young man of
his years should be brought into
court facing such serious charges.
In the dismissing of the case, the
costs must be borne by the COM
planning witness, part of which were
covered by bond when the case
was filed. Attorneys 'Greever and
Goppert were counsel for Billings.
