will be active and aggressive in the
interests of the first Montana dis

ond thousand protests, and committee

Y. N. PARK TRAVEL
RECORDS Smashed

Travel records of Yellowstone Ma
tional park received an almost unpre-
cedented smashing during the 1925
season, according to official statistics
just compiled. From every standpoint
this has been the most successful sea-
son in the history of the great park.
The total travel was 187,807 per-
sons, as compared with 154,2 ,282 during
the season of 1925, the highest pre-
vious travel record. There was an
increase of 33,525 people or about %
per cent, over the total travel of last
year.
The travel this year is classified
as follows: Rail visitors 40,960, mo-.
torists 141 ,449, visitors on motor
cycles 194, visitors on horseback and
afoot, 2,118, and re-seasOn visitors,
unclassified, 3,O86-tot"' 187,8O7.
The total number Of rail visitors
was 40,96O, as compared with z4,78t
last year, showing a decrease Of s.
826; this was due to the fact thai
very few conventions were held this
year on the Pacific coast or in ths
Inter-mountain states. Regular OF
non-convention rail travel was heawiel
than usual.
One hundred forty four thousand
seven hundred twenty-nine auto Wis
itors toured the park in 44,472 cars
as compared with 108,242 visitort
travelling in 3S,194 cars last year.
The Cody or eastern gateway wa
the most popular entrance for aut
visitors; 51,619 persons travelling i
1876 cars were admitted at this en-
trance during the season, as compare
with 1888 persons travelling in Ia
919 cars admitted at the West Yel
lowstone or western gateway; 29,Sz
visitors travelling in 9,314 cars admit
ted at the Gardiner or northern gate
way, and 1880 visitors travelling

mont. SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA wins
initial SUCCESS
Great Credit Due Prof. Adam,
Director, and Donald Kintz,
COncertmeister

Successfully surmOuEting the varI-
GUS difficulties that usually beset the
organization and initial appearance
of such a venture, the Montana State
Symphony orchestra, under the direc-
ton of Professor joseph Adam, head
of the music department at Montana
State college, Monday evening gave
a splendid concert at the college gym
before a large and appreciative audi
ence.
Beautiful but difficult compost
tions were played in a manner that
elected praise, and the crowd, gen.
erous with its applause, called Pro-
fessor Adam back on the stage time
and again. Sharing the honors with
the director and his musicians was
Mrs. Edith Grimes Waddell, soprano,
whose rendition of "Elsa's Dream"
from "Lohengrin", by Wagner, and
other selections won the hearts Of
her hearers.
The program was well arranged, in
Guiding light music such as Strauss
waltz, "Tales from the Vienna
Woods, and heavier numbers like
Weber's overture to "Der Freisch-
uetz" and Schubert's unfinished
Symphony" All things considered,
the orchestra made an excellent
showing which gives promise of
of great success in the future, and
the general opinion is that Professor
Adam, to who se untiring efforts the
LIBERALIZATION of the orchestra is
due, is entitled to unlimited credit.
A substantial modicum of praise
goes also to Donald Kintz, instructor
in violin at the college, who is con-
certmeister. MIR. Kirtz formerly was
a pupil Of Leonardo Brill, the widely
known Spokane viOlinist and teacher
and is a musician of more than or
dinary ability. He had a large par
in the bringing together and training
of the orchestra.
Monday nights concert was thr
second offering of the Artists cours'
series sponsored by Montana Stat,
college. The first was presented las
Friday evening, when Edna Swanson
Yer Haar, noted contralto, appeare,
here in concert and was enthusi
astically received. One of the mos
beautiful women upon the concer
stage today, Miss Yer Haar possesse
a voice of splendid quality, range
and power, as well as a keen under
=.
terpretatiOn. She was accompanied b
Miss Bertha Hagen, a most accom-
plished pianist.

CANTON STRIKE
GOES FORWARD

WASHINGTON (FP) - Official
cables from China to the State de-
partment do not confirm the press
rumor that the great strike against
the British at Canton and Hongkong
has been settled. Instead, the news
now carried by the press associations
indicates that the conference between
the British interests and the Canton
strike committee and Canton officials
failed to reach agreement. British
ships are still barred from taking or
discharging cargo in Canton or near
by ports, and losses that already have
reached hundreds of millions of dol
lars continue.
This strike and boycott arose in
June, 1925, when British police shot
down a group of unarmed Chinese
workers when the Chinese were leav-
ing their employment in British
homes and offices and stores in the
British settlement of HongkOng.
Over 100000 workers struck in pro-
test at the massacre, and their picket
lines have been steadily maintained
