YOUNG BOBBY BISON r !a-!- PROPOSED CHANGES n BOUNDARY LINES" 1 7 By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN LIE visitors to five of the national parks the coming season will probably find enlarged boundaries. This in general means new scenery to exclaim over; new mountains to climb; new canyons to explore; new trout, streams to fish; new forests to camp in; new new automobile horse and foot trails. So this announcement should interest every nook and cranny of the United States. Visitors to the national parks and monuments last season numbered 2,108,084 up to September 30. an increase of 41 per cent in two years. trips; The five national parks elated for enlargement visitors: Rocky Mountain 233,912; Mount Rainier in which are had 741,028 in Colorado, Washington, 173,000; Yellowstone in Wyoming, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Sequoia in California, 4C.C77. Please note that the foregoing says that this enlargement of these five naIt is probtional parks is probable. able because the changes in boundary lines are the result of compromise brought about by agreement between warring interests ; because they will be presented to congress with popular and governmental approval, and because congress, which has no consistent national park policy, is likely to enact the necessary legislation without playing politics. This amazing probability is one of the first fruits of the new National Conference on Outdoor Recreation, organized in 192-1- . This is a reorganization of the National Park Army, originally organized to protect the national parks from congress. President Coolidge called the conference; 128 organizations sent 809 delegates to A permanent organizWashington. ation was formed, with officers, executive committee and council all civilians. The federal government functions through the Presidents committee of cabinet members. The conference, among other things, promptly tackled the national parks boundary Avar in which were engaged the national park service, the forest r interests and liveservice, The Presidents commitowners. stock tee organized a special commission composed of Representative Iltnry W. Temple of Pennsylvania, chairman ; Charles Sheldon, Washington, IX C. ; Maj. W. A. Welch, superintendent of 181,-2S134,-03- 3; water-powe- the Interstate Palisades park; Director Stephen T. Mather of the national park service, and Col. W. B. Greeley, head of the forest service. This committee studied the situation by personal inspection and filed its reports with the Presidents committee. Congress will have to pass a separate bill for each of the five parks to make the proposed changes effective. There are some creatures, said young Bobby Bison, avIio don't care for the zoo. I've heard, too, that many do not wish to have their children horn in tlie zoo. Yes, that I have heard quite often. Of eourso all animals aren't like that, he continued. 1 think youre right, said young for you were not Billy Bison, right, Ave would not he here that Is. we Avould not have been born here, for here we ay ere born. Thats good, said young Bobby Bison. Whats good? asked young Billy Bison. Its good that you are so particular in the Avny you speak, said young Bobby Bison. It Avould have been quite incorrect If you laid said anything about not being horn here, tut you added that here we Avere bom so that made it all light. I Oil," said young Iilly Bison, at first meant have you might thought that it Avug good tl.ai. we Avere born here. I mean that too, said young Bobby Bison.
