An influx Of visitors TO Glacier
national park from all parts Of the
United States during "traveI Amer
lea year" has more than offset the
wartime loss Of travel from foreign
countries, Chief Ranger George w.
Miller announced. Up to July Is,
he said, 1883 people had visited
the park-an increase Of IL per-
cent over last year, and Of more
than 80 percent over either 1887
or 1888.
In contrast to 1889, when IS foreign
countries were represented in the park
visitors have been registered only
from Canada, Finland and the Dutch
West Indies this summer.
Travel of Canadians into the park
has dropped approximately 80 percent
since July I, when they were required
to show passports on entry into this
country, although reports from Water
ton Lakes national park indicate that
American citizens, under no such re-
strictions, have continued to cross into
the Canadian section Of the interna-
tional peace park IN great numbers.
Particularly marked has been the
number of Montana mo-
tortsts visiting the only national park
completely within their own state.

operative movement with civic
minded groups In working 0ut
projects providing additional at

which exist I'm this region.
AS one result of this cooperative
program, q rustic log structure wa
recently completed at Billings on o. S
highway 81 near the Midland Empire
fairgrounds east of the city to serve
as a museum building and tourist In
formation center.
This log building conforms as closely
as possible to the old-time western
adobe.
Three Agencies Helped
Construction of the new museum
structure was made possible through
the cooperative efforts of the state
highway department, the national
youth administration and the tourist
club.
It is erected along the highway on
q park site which has been under de-
velopment the last two years by the
state highway department as a high
way Identification project Construc-
ton of the log building was started
. year ago. All work on the building
was done by NYA labor, with mate
rails supplied by the Commercial club
group.
This Is the second such project to
be developed In the immediate Billings
vicinity as a means of not only at
tracing but holding the interest Of
tourists who visit the state. A year
ago q museum building, constructed of
native stone and timber, was opened
at the Indian caves site, seven miles
southeast Of Billings.
Once inhabited by early plains In
dians, Inscription and Ghost caves
have proven one of the most interest
ing historic points in the state. During
the first season after 1t was developed
as q tourist attraction, an estimated
10000 sightseerS visited the caves.
Forty acres Of land on which the
Indian caves are located were pur-
chased by the Montana highway de- |
partment and set aside as summer /
recreattonal area. Other agencies Co |
operating with the highway depart
ment in developing the site were the |
WPA, the NYA, Yellowstone county
and city of Billings governments, the
Billings Commercial club, the Eastern
Montana Normal school. the Montana
Society Of Natural History and other
scientific groups.
Located a few hundred yards from
the opening Of Inscription cave, the
stone museum building at the site
houses exhibits of artifacts and relics
which were removed from the caves
during the two years of excavation
work by archaeological groups. The

Winged on his right wrist, Cap

bravely hoisted the hooked sting
raw into the small fishing boat and
ordered his boys to row for all they
were worth for the big ship.
Writing on his cabin bed, the
captain fell to thinking about life
and death and finally decided he
was about through with the former
and ready for the latter.
He ordered his grave prepared,
says the wildlife services historical
expert, something he didn't do in
his tilt with Powhatan.
But, in the nick of time his life
was spared-not by a beautiful In

effect of some precious ayle."

the world series tickets-most of
their in the last week when the
Clevelands pushed ahead Of De-
troit's Tiger.
But Bradley still is a cautious
man. He exuded no optimism, only
this:
We've got a chance now. If
these fellows just believe in them
selves they can do it. That's all
they eed."
Bradley said the letter-writers
were receiving numbers. Ticket re-
quests for the series, if there is
one here, will be filled in order

Bradley rates as something Of a
diplomat. He smoothed, at least
outwardly, a player rebellion which
flared a couple of months a g o

players rescinded their demand

making them 'jittery."
AS Bradley marched out Of the
