The Walton League recently caus-
ed the setting aside of 300 miles of
Upper Mississippi River lands, as a
similar area. This region permits
hunting, fishing and other outdoor
sports, at the same time giving the
government supervision over the area
to the end that outdoor recreation
shall be it's principal or only purpose.
AS soon as the 5000 acres in Jack
sons Hole have been purchased, the
Walton League will be in a position
to cause a bill to be introduced in
Congress to create a recreational area
of the entire Hole, or to take other
steps toward this end.
How should this be done? We are
very anxious to get the opinion of the
Wyoming people on this matter. 1t
seems to be the almost unanimous
judgement of those who have spent
some time in Jackson's Hole that the
Teton mountains should become a
part of the Yellowstone Park. Do you
think this should be done Do you
think that none of it should be a nat
tional park?
Do you agree with the Walton
League that the Jackson's Hole coun-
try should be developed along recre-
ational lines to the exclusion of graz
ing or framing? If you do agree, let
US have your opinion as to how it
should be done.
The Izaak Walton League has no
political, personal or commercial in
terest in what it is doing. 1t is try
ing its best to serve everybody for
the good of all.
We want the best thot of the Wy
oming people to be directed for a
moment to the things outlined above,
and l want to hear from everybody
who has an opinion on it.

SUES TO HAVE DAUGHTER
ADMITTED INTO U. S.
Girl Grew to Womanhood in Po-
Land After Passport Was Given
Her, He Says.

Justice IIits of the District Supreme
Court yesterday issued a rule in man.
damus against Frank Il. Kellogg, Sec
retary of State. to show cause why he
should not certify to the commissioner
general of immigration and to the
Secretary Of Labor that Lewis Fried
man made application in Warsaw,
Poland, to bring his daughter Rosa to
America before she attained her ma
jority. Secretary Kellogg is given 30
days to answer the rule.
The courts citation is based on an
application filed by the father. In
which he sets forth that his daughter
resides at Radum, Poland, and has a
Polish passport, which. if vised by q
United States consular officer, would
entitle her to come to Amer l"a. In
July, 1928, after securing a passport,
the father says, he went to Poland to
get his daughter. She was then un-
married and under the age of Il,
which entitled her to a preference
quota status, he says. Before he was
ready to leave for America, the
father declares, he was taken sick and
could not get ready until January
1925. He then was told that he was
too late, as the daughter would reach
her majority and lose her status be
fore the application could go to Wash
ington and return with approval. He
had to return without her.
Attorneys George f. Curtis and

the petitioner.
