GAIN IN PARK eae National Has Great Increase in Last Year. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 16.— ‘The population of game animals in Glacier National park is increasing, according to the Bureau of National Parks. During the past three years, rangers have made cgreful study of the game population throughout the 1,500 square miles of Glacier Na- tional park. The numbers are given in two ways, those actually seen and an estimate of those quite sure- ly lUving in the sections where count could not be made. Glacier park is a sanctuary for all wild animal life, except predatory animals like the coyote, wolf, moun tain Mon and Canada lynx. The wolverine is rare or probably gone; the lynx 1s not abundant; mountain lions are in what is believed to be complete check, and coyotes are warred upon constantly. The wolf is rarely seen. The number of each species is as follows, compiled from October, 1921, to May, 1924: Count Estimate Moose 88 ci 706 Blacktail deer 1116 Whitetail deer 1,611 Mountain sheep iti Mountain goat 1,600 Silvertip bear -. 51 104 Black 76 148 work of game counting is one the most arduous of the park rangers. Observations are made throughout the year, but most of the counting is done in late win- ter and early spring and then it is that the rangers follow the high trails, making long, hard trips on snowshoes, skis or afoot into the most remote corners of America's wildest park to see how the game is farin of | tended to Mr. The very best’ fountain of yout! for a bird who has passed the prime of life, is a seance behind the wheel of one of the 1925 roadsters, “Sure, times ‘have begn a little slack” say denizens of the auto world in Casper.

Mr Kerr, of Garden Creek, {s the don of the property and his €ordial in tation should find tons of answer in the tourists who wish to spend more than a day in Casper and vicinity. This new camp site is not offered in competition to th camp site at the h pre 1c South Dur bin street, but it is rather Intended for the tourist and his family who desire to spend a week or so in vis: iting the oil fields, Pathfinder Dam, Hell's Halt Acre, and other points of Interest in and around Casper. The present city camp ts filled with conveniences but it is not so en dowed by nature, that it furnishes an especially inviting spot in which to spend a little of that valuable touring time. Casper loses nothing by sending part of her tourist trade to the near {by mountains, All money spent by tourists must be spent in Casper as there is no other reasonable market near,- All machines must come and go through this city to teach the mountain camp, hs jthere {¥ no other exit to the main highways. Indeed Casper may find herself attracting more than the usual number of summer visitors, when the fame of the mountain camp has had an op. portunity to enjoy # little mouth to mouth advertising. Mr.\ Kerr owns considerable land along Upper Garden Creek, and wil! be glad to donate a part of it/for this purpose. Word of his decision was given Sparky by H.
