advised Superintendent Libbey
that the Royal Party would ar
rive at Glacier Park Station
Saturday, June 8, at 1880 pm.
and depart from the Park at
the west entrance on the after

lures:

appropriate ceremony at the
Two Medicine Lake area, in CO.
operation with Superintendent

ing Glacier National Park by
Park Naturalist DR.. George c.

June 3; visits to St. Nary Lake,
Many Glacier Valley and other
interesting points on the east
side of the Continental Divide
It IS possible that the Party will
extend their tour on the east
side of the park to Waterton
Lake National Park in Canada
which with Glacier National
Park constitutes the Waterton-
Glacier International P e a C e
Park. which was so dedicated
by the governments of the Do
minion of Canada and the Uni
ted States in 1882.
Superintendent Libbey stated
that it appeared probable that
the spectacular Going-to-the-
Sun highway via Logan Pass
would be open for travel on the
last day of the visit OF the
party which would enable them
to visit snowfieldS on the Con-
tinental Divide.
The visit of Their Royal
Highnesses and Party coming
as it does prior to June IS,
the normal opening date for
Glacier National Park, requires
the Glacier Park Hotel COM
pany, the Glacier Park Trans
port company and the Glacier
Park Boat company to render
srecial services for the visit to
Glacier National Park. In the
event the tour of the park ex-
tends to Waterton Lake Ma
tional Park in Canada, Superin-
tendent C.. K. Capelaine of the
Waterton Lake National Park
will cooperate in the entertain
ment program. The Glacier Park
