This made it necessary for her jto resort to a detour through an eighty acre tract of state-owned land and the! ranch of Irvine, who gladly accorded! ber the privilege of traversing his holdings. F Recently the eighty acres of state-! owned land was advertised for sale to the highest bidder. The widow de- siring to protect her route of ingress to and egress from her homestead, marshaled her resources and consid- ered herself to be prepared to bid higher for the land than any other person would be willing to pay for a grazing area worth not to exceed $5 an acre. She reckoned without her unaccommodating neighbor, however, and he reckoned without Irvine. In the earlier stages of the bidding the widow and~ the unaccommodating} neighbor were the chief figures. Be- tween them they ran the price of the $6-an-acre Jand up to $25 an acre. Then the widow in desperation made! a final despairing bid—$25.60 an acre. The unaccommodating neigh- bor $26 an acre; the widow was si- lent. Then Irvine took a hand.

Stephen T. Mather, superintendent of the ntional park service established a year ago, has reported to. Secretary] Lane that visi- tors. in 1918 numbered 464,941, against 490,705 in 1917. For 1919, the director anticipates that the new privileges and the relesed restrictions will lead to immense increases. Director Mather urges that the firand Canyon of the Colorado be added to the list of national parks, and that steps be taken to acquire for the United States the Mammouth -Cave, in Kentucky, the sand dune area in Indiana, and the gigantic tree areas in California. Total appropriations for parks car- ried for the year beginning June 30, 1918, were $1,012,000,-. Mr.. Mather reports, while the revenués from the parks, in the year ending the’ same date, were $217,106, as corspared to | $180,571 in the previcus year. Point- ing out that a large number of. gifts of Tands and rights of way have been made to the park systems, and are likely to be made oftener in the fu- ture, the report suggests that perma- |nent legislation be enacted to allow Pthe secretary of interior, to accept these, and to accept money gifts.
