MILLION POST proclamation, signed by the president before he started west, making Bryce canyon, Utah, a national monument. Unlike other national monuments which are undef jurisdiction of the interior department, Bryce canyon is placed under control of the department of agriculture, which, 'in effect, means under the bureau of forestry. And in view of the limited appropriations available for the national park service, this is a fortunate move, for the forgst service has on hand a lump, sum for the buildhas ing of roads, and now that It over been given full jurisdiction Bryce canyon, will at once begin the construction of both roads and trails to make more accessible the vantage points from which the tourist can best see the wonders of Bryce canyon. Creation of the Bryce canyon national monument does not in any way interfere with the states land on the brink of the canyon, nor does it interfere with the building of the hotel by the Union Pacific under its recent agreement with the state. A great part of Bryce canyon was embraced in forest reserve before the proclamation was signed, and this probably was the guiding reason why jurisdiction was left to the department of agriculture. The further fact that the forest service could proceed with .the building of roads leading to as well as in Bryce canyon national monument, was another reason for the designation. Usually the creation of national monuments is followed in time with the conversion of such monuments into national parks, provided the scenic attractions are of sufficient magnitude, and it is not at all improbable that within a few years Bryce canyon will be made a national park. National parks, however, can only be created by congress, whereas national monuments can be created by proclamation of the president. There have been, several bills before congress proposing to mak6 Bryce canyon a national park; both Utah senators have sponsored such legislation, but it never reached the point of final passage. The national park service was desirous of having Bryte canyon made a national park, but did not oppose the creation vof the national monument, and takes the attitude that the development of Brvce canyon by the forest service will lend additional drawing power to Zion national park.
