D., Mar. 14.--President Cushing of the Roosevelt: Memorial National Park association today re- ceived from ashington the report made to th ational Parks service by Major Goldman, in charge of biological investigations of the] Bureau of Biological survey in the department of Agriculture, giving him impressions of the Bad Lands of North Dakota as an available site for a national park and game pri serve, which report of his survey is| very {rratifying, as it pitdetically endorses the park project. Major Goldman's report expresses his appreciation of the scenic beau- ty of the park site last fall, but adds that it must be more attractive in the summer when the trees and verdure add their green to the kaleidoscopic colors of the land- seape. While probably tho major's visit to the Bad Lan was largely for the purpose of seeking out sites for game preserves to give more range to the buffalo, elk and deer who are starving in the national parks, he takes note of the project for a national park and devotes much space to that viewpoint recall- ing that section's impression on him as resembling, on a smaller the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. What He Says At one place in the report, relat ing to the territory as a national park, Major Goldman says: “The general area proposed as a national park includes much of scenic charm and of scientific interest and value, shown by the vivid impressions numerous distinguished ‘itors. These impressions, cluding quotations from statements made, have been brought together in pamphlet form and need not be repeated here. The general area is of comparatively little economic im- portance in the ordinary sense, aside trom the value of the lignite coal still underlying large sections. It is, however, of high potential value for recreational and game purposes. Some sections, such as the petrified forest, should be protected from thoughtless visitors, who, in satisfy- ing their thoughtless curiosity, may do considerable damage, especially by displacing or tearing apart fra- gile sections of stumps. “The area should be of great eco- nomic value to the people of North Dakota, because of the expenditure of visitors who would be attracted, if developed and made more access- ible. It seems, therefore, desirable to have set aside for public use as large an area as practicable. Whether the area should be set aside as a national park, or as a national game preserve, is a matter to be given consideration from the broad viewpoint of expediency. Whether or not the area should be considered as a national park seems INDORSEMENT! Service. If set aside as a national park the game would have the ad- vantage of complete protection from hunters, If the establishment of a national park should prove imprac- ticable, the area might well be given ‘consideration as a national or state game preserve. “Whether or not the general sec- jtion should be set aside as a national park or® game preserve, ample pro- |vision should be made for public |camping grounds and for other forms iof recreation to be developed, main- Jly along the Little Missouri river bottoms. The region will undoubt- edly attract visitors if made The numerous nal advantages here present- ed are of especial value, surrounded as the proposed park is, by a region of generally level surface, and with few topographical features of special interest.” Many Attractions The survey and report details at length the many attractions of the proposed park or game preserve, de- scribing at some length its many scenic beauties, its good water, re- markable coal fires, double strata of petrified forest, which alone is 1 geological wonder, being very rare, and indicating the passage of mil- ns of years between the different forest growths, its flora and many other items of intérest to the Bio- | logical Survey and National Park | Serviec, The report contains many | fine pictures of the Bad Lands taken | by the author, and as a whole is a big boost for the proposed park, as it is the first authoritative report made on that region. In June Mr. Torrey, field secretary of the National Park Service will visit the Bad Lands to make a final service gnd the responsibility of the dealer for satisfaction in ownership,” says W. Lahr of the Lahr Motor Sales Co. “That is the reason for all this talk about the responsibilities of dealership which one hears and reads in the automotive world. “The presence in the community of ample gervice facilities, made econo- mically availakle, and the perman- ence of the dealer's responsibility for satisfaction in ownership, are the two things which deliver an ever-in- creasing value to the motorist.” WOULD BUY CAR - FIRST, HE SAYS “If a man from Mars should come to live on the earth today, the first THE BISMARCK POSTAL RATES CHANGE APR. 15 One-Ha'f and One and a Half Cent Stamps to be Sold Increased postage rates and changes affecting post cards and third and fourth class mail are an- nounced by Postmaster Oliver .Lund- quist to be effective April 15, in ac- cordance with the new postal law enacted February 28, 1926, One and one-half cent postage stamps and enveldpes, as well as half thing he would buy would be an au- tomobile,” says W.

Actual retail deliveries by dealers during February were within a few cars of 15,000, which is an increase of 23.1 per cent over deliveries in February, 1924, y week in February showed a material increase over the preced- ing week and the first week of March likewise execeded the last week of February. While dealers’ stocks are excep- tionally low, the factory ‘is turning out cars in such volume that it is hoped to meet practically the entire current demand. Production for the first week of March was over 1000 cars a day. Dodge Brothers sales for 19¢4 in- more than 25 per cent over . in the face of an 11 per cent decline in the industry as a whole These facts considered with the yre- sent continued increase, bespeal: a most gratifying condition and Dodge Brothers are naturally optimistic.
