Somewhere in these articles / wish
TO record the song that we hear over
and over again wherever several
Young Rotarians meet. 1t is sung
through the nose and runs as follows.
It has hut one verse:
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye,
Saw goodbye to the old apple tree,
If nv pappy had er knowed it,
He'd be sorry that he growed it,
He was hung on the old apple tree"
Today we are at Hotel Canyon. I
asked the bell hop how long was this
hotel. He replied that to walk all a
round it would be a mile. He is not
far wrong. Baggage is brought in on
an esculator. Bell hops are American:
walters, Filipinos; orchestra, women
From the front porch we saw a wild
bull moose Many bears came up be-
hind the hotel to be fed.
This afternoon we motored to Nam
moth Hot Springs. This place is head
quarters for government agents who
have charge of park A museum IS
here and one room house made en-
tirely of elks' horns found in the
foods
In passing, let me say that in Cali
iornia we saw trees so large that the
lumber in one tree would be sufficient
or all the wood used in erecting 20
houses of four rooms each. The forests
mere in the park are full of very tall
trees averaging about one foot In
diameter The ground in the forests
is exceedingly heavily strewn with
fallen trees. The trees do not fall so
often hut they decay very slowly.
Or our way 20 Mammoth Springs

va $50 feet high. We saw many gey-
:''rs, one of the hottest was 362 de-
