FIGHT TO SAVE
NATIONAL PARK
FROMINDUSTRY
Local Benefits Versus National
Use Question of the
Yellowstone.
WILL PELT CONGRESS
' By FREDERIC J. BASKIN.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A (Treat battle
of words, growing out of last session's
legislation nnd to be carried into tlie
chambers and committee rooms of Con
gress at the coming seslon. is now be
ing fought to decide the question
whether industry, in the form of water
power, and Irrigation projects, shall be
allowed to invade the national parks of
the West, or whether these shall be
kept as the unspoiled bits of wild nature
which they now are.
At the last session the antl.natlonal
park forces. In a surprise attack, tre
mendously dented conservation's center
by getting national parks Inserted in
the water power act. and narrowly
missed a sweeping victory in a last
minute defense stand on Irrigation, as
exciting as Horatio's historic feat at the
bridge.
PARK FORCES
PCT IP FIGHT.
The national park forces, mighty glad
of a chance to recuperate, are now sntind
lpg the loud call to arms far and wide.
They announce their purpose, at the next
session, not only to straighten out that
big dent in their center and recover
all the ground lost on both wings, but
tin dig in so deep, and weave the wire
entaglements so thickly, that their boun
daries will be uneroseable forever more.
Meantime, the anti-national park forces
nre bringing up big guns to defend their
water power victory, and assembling
their Irrigation armies under able and
•xperienced generals in Congress.
Also they are eagerly negotiating with
all possible allies.
Yet the Immediate Issues of the strug
gle are comparatively small.
A little group of farmers, mostlj
Mormons, living In Idaho, southwest of
Yellowstone Park, want to put a dam
In the Falls River basin of the park,
•o that they may use the waters for ir
rigation.
Another mneb larger group of Indi
divuals living in the vicinity of Liv
ingstone, Mont, north of the park, want
to dom np the outlet of Yellowstono
Lake, so as to control the waters of the
Yellowstone RiTer for Irrigation pur
poses.
Each of the propects would benefit only
the people of a local community, and
each of them, say the opponents of the
propects, is unnecessary, in that the same
results can be accomplished without in
vading the parks.
BENEFITS LOCAL,
DAMAGE NATIONAL.
. The benefits would be local, argue
these opponents, but the damage done
would be national in character.
To dam up s he waters of s he Yellow-
Stone Lake means to flood thousands of
acres of beautiful wilderness; it means
to Introduce anew administrative force
Into the confines of the park
Likewise, to dam the waters of the |
Kalis River basin would be to ruin one
of the best winter elk ranges in the
park system, and one of the two strong
holds of the moose in the West; also to
spoil one of the finest camping regions
lust at a time when Yellowstone patron- ;
uge is leaping in Immense hounds.
But this immediate damage which
would be done to the national treasure
~*rt the parks is not nearly so Important
a the precedent which would be estab
lished.
1/ Industry 1j once allowed to Invade
the parks there will be no end to the
Invasion.
If either of these two projects Is al
lowed there will he dozens of projects
in a few year*.
KTer since the parks and national for
ests were created there has been a steady,
consistent effort on the part of certain
Interests In the West to break them up,
reduce them In size, or failing In that, to
Invade them for Industrial purposes.
Congress has steadily resisted that at
tempt.
In half a century a hundred bills
Inimical to the parks have been defeated.
But little hns been heard of this strug
ble by the general public.
Robert Sterling Yard of the National
Parks Association is determined that
■inch shall be heard of the present at
tempt.
He has enlisted on his side of the fight
some of the strongest periodicals in the
country.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has taken up the cause nnd so
has the National Federation of Busi
ness and Professional Women's Clubs.
Museums, universities, conservation as
sociations, forestry schools and a va
riety of other organizations and indi
viduals are rallying to oppose this proj
ect for the industrialization of the na
tional parks.
The object of this formidable cam
paign Is to put the issue once and for
all clearly before the public.
Are the national parks to be kept un
spoiled. or are they to be subjected to
a slow process of disintegration T
MOTIVES NOT
SINISTER.
It is not that there Is any wide
spread demand for the Industrial util
ization of the pars.
The demand comes from just a few
people living near them.
Nor Is tIK-re anything*sinister or ruth
less about the motives of these people.
They are farmers and ranchmen who
have lived all their lives in the great
West, and who, therefore, have little
appreciation of its scenic and historical
value, or of the great changes which are
affecting it.
They see certain hodles of water In the
parks which they could conveniently use
and they want to use them. They are
not enthusiastic about preserving w.ki
life and they do not appreciate scenery.
The people about Livingstone, Mont.,
who want to dam the lake, include many
of those who last year slaughtered about
6,000 elk as the frenzied animals dashed
across the park boundary to escape a
blizzard.
Ihe motives of these people are no
km ore sinister or mysterious than those of
K child who sees a pot of jam on the
and reaches out his hand for It.
do they represent a much more
K'.MKdable force i.i the nation than a
in a family*.
■The danger of the situation lies in the
fact that their demands may be complleu
with simply because the rest of the na
tion is uninformed or indifferent.
Those who have seen and visited the
parks, who know their charm as rec
reation grounds, their wonderful char
acter as bits of wild America saved from
civilization, are one ami all staunch de
fenders of the parks.
But, although more nnd more Ameri
cans are visiting the parks every year,
the total of those who have done so Is
not yet large.
To most American’, they are only a
name.
To make them more than a name, to
impress upon every American their
value to the nation ns a whole, and so
to make them safe from industrial in
vasion for nil Fme, is the larger object
of the present campaign.

“The national forests also are mag

“The parks are the national museums

American Made Plant
Wave Circles World
SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 2,-The first
wireless plant to send a message around
the world is American-made throughout.
The great station named after Lafay
ette Is located at Croix d'Hins, near
Bordeaux, Franee, and wus constructed
at a cost approximating $14,000,000.
The electrical equipment was manu
factured by an American concern.
Each of the eight towers of the Rtatlon
is 820 feet high and 1.300 feet apart, snr-
I assed In height by only one steel struc
ture In the world—the Eiffel Tower in
Paris.
The Navy Department of the t'nited
States started construction of the station
during the war to safeguard communica
tion between tills country and France.
Construction was stopped when the
armistice was signed and the large naval
detail In charge of the work was re
called.
France offered to purchase the station
if the work would be completed by
America.
An American steel company won the
contract and used an army of 900 men
in its construction.
Three of these men fell from the dizzy
heights of the tower and were Instantly
killed.

“Tell me,” he “did they
get the Stegmelers?"
“Why, yes. there were arrests made,
but before the arrests were made the

“And, at the same time, do you know

“The trouble with our making a re

“I disagree with you. Mr. McWhirter,"
the reporter said.
“It is the mission of my paper to clean
up Immoral conditions as we see them."
“Oh, they nil do that and you do it,”
Mr. McWhirter Insisted.
“Why couldn’t we start an investiga
tion and find out If one of your own
men didn't do that tipping?”
“You certainly are welcome to make
such an Investigation,'’ the reporter re
plied.
“It's like the other evening when T

McWhlrter went on.
“I saw a tire in the mtddle of the

There was an advance of 2.3 to 50 cents
In the price of hogs at the opening of the
local live stock exchange today, due to
the good demand and light receipts.
Trading early developed a firm tone and
the 3.300 fresh bogs that were on the
market were sold at an early hour. Both
the local packers and the eastern ship
pers were active. The clearance for the
Monday market was good, much better
than was expected, with less than 2<>o
stale hogs left for the Tuesday market.
The market was'csHed a sll market,
with good heavies, lights and mediums
selling at practically that figure. How
ever, there was a top of $14.35, but there
were but few hogs that brought that
price.
Good rough brought sl3 and down,
with the bulk at sl2 75. and pigs gen
erally brought $13(813.75.
The bulk of sales lor the day ran
dose to sl4.
Commission men arc of the op.nlon
that the receipts for the Wednesday
market will be light on account of the
inability of the farmers to ship, due
to the fact that no local freight cars
will be set today, and the general opin
ion is that there may possibly be a
further upward tendency in prices.
One of the features of the market to
day was the absence of what could l.e
termed really poor hogs.
Trading was fairly active on the cat
tle market for u day like election and
prices were steady to strong ou a few
exceptionally good cattle In comparison
j with the stuff that has been pouring
; into the market lately.
Receipts were light at between 300
and 400 cattle.
There was a rush in the early trading
on the calf market, and for the first
few minutes prices were forced up 50c
to sl, but that movement soon subsided
and the market closed about steady with
I the close of the Monday market.
Sheep were steady at $54*6, and lambs
were about steady, with fewer lambs at
Isl 4, but with a considerable number
selling at $13.75.
1 here were 300 sheep and lambs on
the market.

On ConintUsion Roto
Trading opened with a quiet tone on
the local wholesale produce market to
day, due commission men said, to the
effect of the election day on general gro
eery business. People, they said, did
not get to the market as early as is their
general custom.
Prices he’d about steady with those of
the opening day of the market.
There has not been the violent fluctua
tions in the produce maiket during the
last two wielcs that there were during
the summer season.
The cause of this, commission men
say, is btcause there is a more staple
line of prtiuee ou the market now.
There Is now a fairly good supply of
fall nuts ou the market, walnuts and
shell bark hickory nuts, especially.
However, the supply of Hilts is not yet
as good as it will he a little later.
Hot house vegetables and relishes,
however, are now coming on the market,
but even the.-e will not tie subj rt to tiie
violent fluctuations that prevailed dur
ing the summer season.
Tomatoes low are entirely off the
market except, perhaps, in scattered lots
of a few baskets here nud there.
All of the houses on commission row
have an excellent supply of apples.
Prices have held fairly steady during the
past few weeks.
There was a slump In the prices of
tropical and semi-tropical fruits after
the first fall rise. Commission men have
ns yet announced no cause for this
action.
Potatoes and onions, too, have held
fairly steady since tb- setting in of nor
mal conditions following the varied
fluctuations of the summer and commis
sion men are not of the opinion generally
that there will be another rise In the
prices of these commodities. .
