TRAVEL VERY GOOD
VIA BURLINGTON TOURS

According to Mr.. and Mrs. Os-
good, who are in charge of the
Yellowstone Park hotel and camps
company business in Cody, with
offices at the Cody Inn, the touring
parties which are being conducted
by the Burlington railroad are prov
ing very popular with travellers,
and this year the parties r av-
eraging about one hundred mem
bers three days each week.
Mr.. and Mrs, Osgood yer guests
of the Cody Club at the luncheon
on Monday. They say that the
travel this year. although rather
light at the start of the season, is
showing a great increase, and will
no doubt go much above the rec
ord for last year. The travel is
unusually heavy out the Cody en-
trance. The conducted touring par
ties arrive in Cody on Monday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings,
and therefore make a substantial
increase for the number of park
travellers on those days. Saturday
evening almost four hundred tour
lists left the park through the east
ern entrance on the yellow buses
and on Monday evening between
four and five hundred exited this
way.

growing slightly bald in front, accen-
tuating an already high forehead. His
face is round and full, the very picture
of ruddy health He has a sensitive,
artistic nose and a straight deter
mined mouth. He dresses like a con-
servative American business man.
What we are witnessing in the
whole world is a musical renaissance, .
he told the Associated Press.

and his disciples all have two quail
ties in common. They turn their backs
on the romantic music of yesterday
