Reviews Situation
In National
Parks This Summer

Travel to all units of the ma
tional park system during the
first seven months of the ira
vel year, from October 9, 1916,
through April 80, 1947, was six
per cent greater than that dur
ing the same period a year ago,
National Park Service Director
Newton 3. Drury has reported
to Secretary of the Interior J..
A. Krug.
There is every reason to sup
pose, said MI. Drury, that the
record attendance of last year,
nearly l LOO, 900, will be con-
siderable exceeded this year.
Visitors recorded through
April, for the system as a whole,
totaled 6,924,635; for the similar
period of the preceding travel
year the figure was 6.564,332.
Most of the gain was accounted
for by travel during the month
Of April when there were L.
1872, 1882 visitors as compared
with 1,455, 744 in April, 1916,
In anticipation of at least as
many visitors during the sum
mer season as last year, both
the National Park service and
the concessionerS who operate
public Accommodations in the
national parks and monuments
are exerting every effort to get
ready for the tidal wave" that
starts around the middle of
June and drops off rather alb
ruptly after Labor day. Sum-
mer bookings are already heavy
in such major parks as Yellow
stone, Glacier, Yosemite, Grand
Canyon, Bryce and Zion. It is
SO heavy that travellers who ex-
pect to occupy hotel Or lodge
or cabin Accommodations in any
of the areas in the national
park system will do well, &C
cording to Director Drury, to
plan their visits as far in ad-
vance as they can and to OBJ
tain confirmed reservations as
soon as possible. Those who en-
ter the parks without reserva-
tons are very likely to be dis
appointed, although the chances

ises back of the high school.

Ask for New Weed
Control District
In Big Horn County

The county commissioners of
Big Horn county agreed We'd
nesday to set a date for a
hearing on a petition asking
for the creation of a weed con-
troll district on the upper Big
Horn from the Two LegginS
bridge south for about 20 miles.
The petition was presented
by David Muhlbeier and Adolph
Jabs.
There is already one weed
control district in the county
which includes all the land
along the Big Horn from the
Two Leggins dam to the county
line. Farmers and ranchers
who operate in this area are
interested in the creation of
the second district to prevent
the spread of noxious weeds to
their lands.
It was pointed out that the
county is PERMITTED to set a
mill levy each year for weed
control. The funds are spent
to interest farmers in weed
control methods by conducting
practical demonstrations of
both chemical and mechanical
means of eradicating weeds.
One third of the expense OF
weed control by Individual
farmers may also be paid by
the county, If the work is done
under the supervision of the
Weed Control board.
The board of supervisors of
the present district includes
Guy Van Cleve, Roy Cool and
R. B. Macleod.

liberty and freedom and do
our part to establish perman-
ent peace. The world is still
in turmoil. We have assumed
responsibility, but we cannot
fail with our present leader
ship"
He cited man of our present
governmental and military
heads as examples of men
well-chosen for their work.
The European food crisis was
briefly touched on by the Gen
eral, with emphasis on the i'm
portance of United States aid
to the war torn nations.
Governments, like everything
else animate in the world, he
went on, ARE subject to the
great universal laws of nature,
and the first of these inexor-
able laws has declared that
nothing can stand still very
long. The philosophy or gov
eminent which does not grow
better year by year does not
within itself strive to achieve
nearer perfection in accordance
with that natural law, first be-
homes motionless, then stag
mates, and following stagna-
ton comes retrogression, and
eventually from retrogressior
follows dissolution 49,.
1--WE must see well to it that
we take such steps in govern
ment and world affairs that we
marin forward not backward
forward towards higher and
better ideas, truly forward to
that goal where the govern
ment of the people of the
world can rightly be- of the
people, by the people and for
the people, and dedicated to
the one this worth while, the
conservation and promotion Of
human happiness"
Gen. Campbell pointed out
that in a democracy, the mot
ivation of the government lies
with the people. Said he, "You
cannot legislate brains into
the heads of men, morals into
their hearts, nor spirituality
into their souls All that
man-made laws can do is to
make men equal in the right
to participate in the formation
of a government, equality of
standing before the courts and
within the administration of
the law of the land"
He pointed out that the
world looks to this nation for
Christian leadership.
The general then gave a WV
i'd description of services for
an American soldier in Africa
in February of 1913.
He concluded by saying
There is no government in
all the world quite equal to
ours. There is no constitution
which gives such equal rights
and privileges to each and all
of us. Let us prove by oui
lives and our actions that we
appreciate such a government.
Let us prove to those who were
not afraid to die that we are
not fearful of the future I
believe that we are destined to
lead the other nations of the
earth toward brighter and bet
ter things, to a conception of
justice and integrity which
will be a symbol of the high
est ideals and greatest prin-
cipleS that the human mind
has yet conceived and that
the heart of man has ever en-
tertained."

FOR AIRPORT

The county commissioners re-
ceived a wire this morning from
Senator ZaleS N. Ecton that the

been included for a tentative al

This money must be matched

One of the most interesting
experiences we have had in re-
cent months was watching
Frank Bennett Fiske and his
companion, William Lemons,
take off in their canoe, the Far
West, for Bismarck. It seemed
a fragile craft indeed to stay
afloat over some $50 miles of
the Big Horn, Yellowstone and
Missouri rivers.
Fiske recalls the traditions
of the West in his dress and
in his manner. An old river
steamboat pilot, he knows the
rivers as do few in this present
day.
He plans to call Bill cole
Dave" after Dave Campbell,
who was pilot for Capt. Grant
Marsh on the original Fac
West. The two intrepid paddle
wielders informed us that they
intended to take turns keeping
the log of their journey and
standing watch at night for
hostile Indians.
We hope to have pictures of
Fiske, Lemons and the canoe
in next weeks Tribune Herald.

cuts made in time for the pap

In the two morning hours,
