Show ZION NATIONAL PARK Zion National Park, August 30. . The recreation committee appointed by President Coolidge to settle certain cer-tain questions between the National park service and the U. S. forest service, ser-vice, were in Zion canyon Thursday. The committee consisted of Congressman Congress-man Henry XV. Temple of Pa., chairman; chair-man; Stephen T. Mather, director, of the park service; L. P. Kneipp, representing rep-resenting Col. Greely of the forest service, who was detained in Salt Lake; Harrington Moore of N. Y. and Arthur Ringling of Washington, D. C. After looking over the general road situation and viewing the canyon can-yon the committee left for V. T. park in the Kaibab forest. There they will discuss the deer question and a possible extension of the boundary of the Grand Canyon National park. Supt. Richard T. Evans, of Zion National Na-tional park accompanied the committee commit-tee to the Kaibab to assist in placing the new boundry and to give the benefit of knowledge gained from mapping the Grand Canyon National park. Heavy rains visited this region all this week. The West Rim trail was badly washed. Extreme high water in the river did much cutting, and washed out several large popular trees and some peach trees from the old pioneer orchard. Dr. W. J. Mayo, famous surgeon of Rochester, Minn., visited Zion canyon can-yon last week and was much pleased with its beauties. With Dr. Mayo were Mrs. Mayo, Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Balfour, Dr. and Mrs. M. U. Henderson, Hender-son, Mr. Louis West and Mr. Nelse Sweet, all of Rochester, Minn. |
