ALL TRAVEL RE(X)RDS
ARE BEING BROKEN IN .
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK
Again travel records are being
broken in Yellowstone Park, A. B.
Smith, passenger traffic manager of
the Northern Pacific Railway an
nounced today.
Up to August 1st, Yellowstone has
entertained this season 80,330 visit
ors, an increase of 7037 over the
same period a year ago. This is chc
largest attendance the park has had
in any similar period in its history,
There have been eight days this
season when the number of newcom
ers to the park has exceeded 2,000.
Gardiner Gateway, in addition to
large rail travel, has registered 5338
automobiles so far this summer.
In my opinion August and Sep
tember are the best months to visit
Yellowstone Park." said Mr. Smith.
"The colors are more brilliant and
varied, the weather is clear, cool and
as pleasant as though we'd ordered
it ourselves, and park accomrmda
tiens of high grade are easier to se
cure,
