TELEGR PHI MONOPOLY
MAY LOSE IMMUNITY

PARIS, April 30 QP.-The French
government telegraph monopoly is
likely soon to be held responsible for
damages caused by its errors, as is the
rule in all business.
Back in 1850, when telegraph keys
were suffering with some irregulari-
ty, the government protected itself
from. damage claims by a specific ex-
emption.
For years chambers of commerce,
newspapers and business men have de-
manded that the government be held
responsible for its errors A bill to
change the old law now has such sup
port that it's passage is expected soon
Aside from the argument that jus
tice requires such responsibility, it is
contended the government will do the
work better if, it has to pay for its
mistakes.

FRENCH ARMY CATS
GET WAGES RAISED

PARIS, April 80 QP).-Army cats have
had their wages raised AS food is
their chief expense, there is going to
be a lot of liver consumed.
Paul Prudent Painleve, minister of
war, raised the official allowance of
the cats from four to 10 centimes
day OF course, that means only from
about one cent a week to three cents
a week, but the cats are well satisfied
There was some objection to this
$50 per cent increase in these difficult
times of economy because the cats
job is to run rats and mice out of army
storehouses, and there were those who
thought they ought to provide for
themselves.
However, the cats landlords, jani-

WORTH OF AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL

Ing in the interest of out-of-state
travel: and we take considerable
credit for Colorado travel, which is
also handled by the local tourist
bureau and the Colorado Motor
club. as well as the local Rocky
Mountorist association all three of
which exist purely to encourage
travel to Denver and Colorado.
However. they do route some Col
orado travel to Yellowstone; and
1t is interesting to note that 1876
Colorado cars entered the Yellow
stone through che entrances as fol-
lows: Eastern or Cody entrance,
997 cars; southern, $50; western,
1856; and northern. 1872. BY these
figures it is easy to see that the

It set but to do and more
Another interesting thing is that
while the automobile tourist left

Cody during the past season, the
rail travel left but little. The

1883 people. a few less than in
1926, and considerably less than in

In the information on Yellowstone
travel for 1927 Just received. it is
interesting to note that Cody, OF
the eastern entrance to Yellowstone
park. had an increase in automo-
bile travel over 1926-and a de-
crease in rail travel.
The western entrance entertained
the greatest number of visitors
both by rail and automobile. So far
as the auto travel is concerned, the
Increase can be credited to Cali

Montana. the leading state, with
$500 cars carrying 19,050 passen-
gers. 3,I12 California cars out of

trance; and a great percentage of
Montana visitors came in over the
newly opened Gallatin River road.
Cody also entertained 1925 Cali
fornia visitors entering the park,
who came In 1889 cars. There is
no tally on how many cars from
the different states left the park at
designated entrances; but there
were 1924 cars that came out
through Cody. This number of
cars, added to those that entered
the park through Cody. makes a
total of 3e58S cars that passed
