By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
II-'TY years of Natlonul L'lirks! Yel
lowstone litis lieen celebrating Its
oeiul-centcnnlnl tbls suiiitner. When
It was established by net of congress
In 1872 It wns tbo Ilrst public pluy
ground of the people created In all
history. Now tbo United States has
nineteen and several other nations
have followed our example.
Yellowstone Is a land of wonders
and Its early history Is In keeping.
Our third president, Thomas Jeffer
son, bought the Louisiana Purchase
the unknown land between tbo Mississippi and tbo
llockles from Napoleon Donaparto In lSOU. In
the spring of 1801 Jefferson started Lewis and
Clark westward from St. Louis to see what we bad
got for Slfi.OOO.OOO. They went to the mouth of
tho Columbia and returned to St. Louis la 1800,
ufter being given up for lost. Both going and re
turning they passed a little to tbo north of tho
Yellowstone, but beard nothing of It.
John Colter, one of their me;i, turned back be
fore reaching St. Louis to trap beaver on tho
headwaters of the Missouri. Ho discovered tbo
Yellowstone In 1S07, returned to St. Louis In 1S10
and told about the geysers and other marvels. St.
Louis refused to believe and laughed at the Yel
lowstone as "Colter's Hell." Gen. William Clark,
Colter's commander, was apparently the only man
to believe; on Clark's olllclal map of tho Lewis
and Clark expedition you will find traced "Colter's
route In 1S07."
Jim Ilridger, one of Gen. William II. Ashley's
Ileutennnts In tho Itocky Mountain Fur company,
rediscovered tho Yellowstone In 1SU7. Urldgor was
ns good a mountaineer, plainsman and guide ns
this country ever saw. Hut ho wns n practical
Joker along tho lino of monumental lies be was
tho Inventor of tho obsidian cliff, boiling spring,
alum creek and echo canyon stories which have
boon Western classics for nenrly a century. So
Ills report of tho Yellowstone wonders wns set
down merely as "another of Jim Brldger'a big
yarns."
In 1812 and again In 1802 men reported tho won
ders of tho Yellowstone. Nobody would bellevo
them. In 18(59 the seml-olllclnl Washburn-Lnng-ford
expedition from Montana succeeded In get
ting .1 hearing. But It was not until 1870 that a
meelul federal government expedition established
the exlstenco of tho Yellowstone.
Thus It took slxty-threo years nnd more tbnn
six "discoveries" to put the Yellowstono oillclally
on tbo map.
Cornelius Hedges ho lias deserved well of bis
country September 18, 1870, by n cnmp-flro In
tho Yellowstone, proposed thnt the wonderland bo
iuiie a national park n public plnyground set
tiBldo for tho people's uso forever. Tho Idea took.
Congress established tbo Yellowstono Natlonnl
pork March 1, 1872.
Tbo United States now bns nineteen national
parks containing 10,850 squuro miles or 0,0-10,700
acres. Chronologically In tbo order of formation
they nro as follows:
I 1832 Hot Springs, Arknnsns, 011 acres, origi
nally n reservation, mado n natlonnl park tbls
year; 40 curative hot springs.
1872 Yellowstone, Wyoming, Montana nnd
Idaho, 3,318 square miles; geysers nnd other vol
canic exhibits, Grand Canyon of tho Yellowstone,
largo lake, great animal preserve.
1800 Sequoia, California, 2S2 squure miles;
12,000 big trees over ten feet In diameter, and
eomo over thirty-five feet nnd 5,000 years old.
1800 Yoscmlte, California, 1,125 squaro miles;

Many volumes could bo filled with photographs
of flrst-clnss scenery In these nntlonnl pnrks. Tho
photographs reproduced herewith were selected
for these reasons: Yellowstono Is tho oldest, larg
est nnd best known of our natlonnl pnrks. Rocky
Mountain Is the most populnr. Grand Canyon Is
the greatest nntural wonder In tho world. Lafay
ette Is tbo only nntlonul park east of tho Missis
sippi. Zlon Is the newest of our nineteen. Tho
remaining picture, a sceno on tho wny to nocky
Mountnln, Is typical of tbo American peoplo nt
piny In the nntlonnl pnrks.
Tho visitors to tho nntlonnl pnrks In 1021 num
bered 1,007,335; the private nutomoblles numbered
175,825. Rocky Mountnln led with 273.T87 visi
tors nnd 57,438 automobiles. Hot Springs wnB sec
ond with 130,008 visitors. Yosemlto wns third with
with 01,513 visitors nnd 18,047 cars. Yellowstono
had 81,051 visitors and 15,730 cars.
Appropriations In 1021 were $1,031,5-10 and reve
nues were $300,028. Eventually tho natlonul parko
will bo practically self-supporting.
Tho act of 1010 creating tho nntlonnl park Borv
Ico, a bureau of the Interior department, sots forth
that tbo fundamental purposo of tbo national
parks Is "to conserve the scenery nnd tho natural
and historic objects and the wild llfo therein uud
to provide for the enjoyment of the snmc In such
manner nnd by such means as will leave them
unimpaired for the enjoyment of future genera
tions." There will bo more natlonnl parks. Tho policy
of the national park service, as sot forth In 1018
by the Jate Franklin B. Lane, then secretary of tho
Interior, Is that tho national parks of tho future
fihould be justified by "scenery of supreme and dis
tinctive quality or some natural feature so ex
traordinary or unique ns to bo of national Interest
nnd Importance. The national park nystcm as now
constituted, should not bo lowered In standard,
dignity and prestige by tho Inclusion of areas
which express In less than tho highest term tbo
particular class or kind of exhibit which they rep
resent." The national park movement Is now nation
wide. There Is an army of enthusiasts. These'
enthusiasts nro preaching that the mission of tbo
nntlonnl parks Is manifold; that general use of
them by tho peoplo will bring physical, mental,
moral nnd Ilnanelal benefits.
Tills national-park transcontinental tourist traf
fic by private car Is getting to bo n big thing, with
tremendous possibilities In dollars. The Scenic
West wns literally full of motorists tbTs summer
on vacation trips ranging from two week's to the
whole season. All sorts of estimates have been
mado of what this means financially to the country
to have this money spent at homo Instead of In
sightseeing abroad. It Is purely guesswork to esti
mate what the million nnd more visitors to tbo
nntlonnl pnrks this summer paid out In money. An
nrblirary minimum estimate of $100 each gives n
total of 100,000,000.
The nntlonnl park enthusiasts have formed nn
organization of their own the Nntlonnl Pnrks ns
soclntlon. It wns formed by tinolllclul friends of
the national parks to enter n Held of tbo move
ment which tho federal government nppnrently
does not Intend to occupy. The present policy of
congress If It bns nny national park policy Is
merely to provide for tho protection, maintenance
and development of tho parks, leaving It to tbo
peoplo to determine the uso they shnll make of
them. Tbo association is nu organization of tbo
peoplo themselves to enable them to uso effectively
theso public playgrounds. At present tho enjoy
ment of tho American people of Its natlonnl parks
Is largely emotional. Among Its many other ac
tivities tho association purposes a campaign of
education to double tho enjoyment of tho peoplo
by nddlng understanding. It snys In effect to tho
American peoplo:
"Our nntlonnl parks nro nnturo'B grent labora
tories nnd museums. They nro not merely won
ders and scenery. They nro exhibits on n mighty
scnle of the processes by which nnturo bus been
and Is making Amcrlcn. You may doublo your
pleasure In these exhibits by comprehending their
meaning through Intelligent study, Let us 'See
America first 1 But let us also know America I
Let us know Its natural history as well as Its
natlonnl history. Let us differentiate, distinguish
nnd appreciate. Then wo shall really know. Then
wo Bhall really enjoy."
BAD FOR

Animal Evidently Didn't Know
Mule's Capabilities.
Chances Are That Particular Bear Will
Never Again Engage PuglllBtically
With Humble Worker.
Two amusing bear stories, both
vouched for by reputable eye-witnesses,
are going the rounds here, says a dis
patch from Prince George, It. C.
Forest fires In northern British Co
lumbia during the past mouth have
had a peculiar effect upon some of tho
wild animals of the woods, Judging
from some of the stories brought to
Prince George.
A light between a flte-crazed bear
and u mule, In which the bear was
worsted, occurred ut L. Mason's ranch
at Bednestl, It. (J. The forest lire
routed the bear from his lair, and lu
Its dash from the flames Into the open
country It collided violently with a
mule. The bear was piomptly stretched
on the ground by a double tattoo from
the capable hind hoofs, and the mulo
calmly resumed Its Interrupted grazing.
Thoroughly angered, the bear
picked Itself up and cautiously ap
proached the mule from a different
angle. The huge paw wns brought
down with a resounding thwack on
the mule's ribs. This was unfortunate.
The hoofs were again brought Into
play, after a quick, accurate maneuver
for position, and the tight was called
off, so far as the bear was concerned.
Mr. Mason, who had witnessed tbu
unusual encounter, dashed to the house
for n rllle to Mulsh the bear, should
any life be left. Before he could get
back to the scene, however, bruin man
aged to get groggily to bis feet and
return to the less exciting environment
of the forest lire.
A lire patrol ranger Is sponsor for
another bear story. While making a
survey in the niouutaln district be
came upon a young cub suffering from
severe burns on feet and body. Tbo
youngster was whimpering from tho
pain and the forester tool; pity on It,
lifted It Into his car, and there mndo
It fast with some rope.
The patrolman stinted on his Jour
ney only to discover that the mother
bear had appeared and was in hot
pursuit. As the track ran uphill at this
point, the bear, making long strides,
gained steadily, anil the need for strat
egy was clearly indicated. Tho for
estry boot; of Instructions does not
cover a situation such as tbls, but tho
ranger was resourceful and decided
that the best plan would lie to throw
the cub overboard.
His attempts to untie the knots on
tho lashings which secured the young
ster to Jho machine, however, proved
futile. Pursuer and pursued came to
n yet steeper grade, with tho advan
tage nil with (ho former. Finally, with
one mighty effort, the old bear threw
herself on tho back of the car, holding
on by her claws and paws.
This is where tbo forester decided
to retire In favor of the enemy. Ho
dived off the car, and regained his feet
In time to see It continuing its Journey
eastward, with n mother and child
happily reunited as Its passengers.
Later the car was found, run down
nnd everywhere Intact, except tho sldo
where the cub bad been tied, tbo old
bear having torn It out to release her
offspring.
Can It Be True?
Thomas A. Kdlson, In a recent Inter
view talked about the many advan
tages of being deaf.
"For Instance," ho snld, "a motor
ist hurried Into a country drug store
the other day and asked If he was
on the right toad to Brandy wine.
"Brandy, yes,' said the druggist,
who was very deaf. 'No wine, but
plenty of brandy. I can sec you're all
right by your looks, sir.' And ho
poured the motorist a stiff drink out
of a big blue china Jar labeled 'Ipe
cacbuana.' "I don't wnnt that,' tho motorist
protested. 'I want to know If this Is
the best road to tho Brandy'
"The best brandy? You bet It's
tho best,' Interrupted the druggist.
"No, no! The Brandywlnei' yelled
tho motorist. 'I want to get to tbo
Brandy '
'"Tiinnk you,' said tho druggist. I
don't caro If I do.'
"And with a gratified smile ho
poured n second stiff drink out or tna
blue china Jar for himself."
