Up at Tolo
T'other da-
Town that's owned by Colonel Ray,
Where they make pood brick from
clay
At a social came b solo,
So they say, '
Stranger sat into tho play '
Just to pass tho time away-' 4
Stranger was a little gay,
Wore a waistcoat recherche;
Said to liven up the play,
Make it less like making hay,
Make it more his kind of fray,
Vhatfrwould everybody say
Toll small stake, by the wayT
Stranger loft the town of ToIo,
Which was sired by Colonel Ray
Stranger damns it oven' day
Where they play tho game of solo
Jn tho good old-fashioned way
Hissed Nineteen and left next day;
(Gamo broko up when dawn was
gray);
In his waistcoat recherche
Found four bits to pay the dray
Hauling trunks across the way
From tho sample room where they
Had been used to get 'an order
Afternoon of previous day.
Had a ticket bought to Mcdford
Wired from thcro for next month's
pay.
Says next timo he slops nt Tolo
Staiion just south of Gold Rny
Ho will wear an ugly bolo,
Tako Max Jacoby's order for prunes
with no delay,
And with that brutal bolo,
Wicked Filipino bolo,
Ho will cleave tho first frosh jay
Native of the town of Tolo
Who may sidle up and say:
"What about a gamo of solo,
Stranger, hey!"

VOK COUNCILMAN FJtOM
T11K FIRST WARD
I hereby announce mysolf as a
candidate: for councilman from tho
First ward at tho coming city elec
tion. j ? .:.' ' J, W. MITCHELL.
SECRETARY- .E1SIIER of tho Depnrtment of the In
terior is the first of the cabinet officials to grasp the
import anee of the national parks of the United States, by
fathering a movement for the creation of a federal bureau
of national parks. He fii-st suggested this ide?i at; tho
national park conference of government officials hold last
oiaouou PUTNAM, tailor nmi Manager September in the Yellowstone National park. The Amer-
jtoi ii'iiii kjiyic associaiiou ar us seventn annual convention
mbw hold rocnnt.lv nt Wnshinrrfnii niulmvnd if. niirl Roiinrm
. .. ..,.. -.v.--.. jx ,. ..., ....V. r., ..,.v..
Reed Smoot has fathered a bill for tho creation of such
a bureau,
Tho nation is proud of its beauty spots and national
wonderlands set aside for recreation purposes by tho gov
ernment, but only a few of the more fortunate can see
them. It is one of the objects of Mr. Fisher to exploit
them and make them useful to all.
The national parks are now administered without sys
tem or uniformity, in a haphazard and slipshod maimer.
Control is divided between three departments, Interior,
Agricultural and "War, and as harmony docs not always
prevail between the different department officials, the
parks frequently suffer. The management should be
concentrated in a single bureau. Except in the Yellow
stone, tho government has no jurisdiction to punish of
fences in violation of its park regulations. Mining privi
leges exist in some of the parks and, arcording to the
Interior department, the tendency is to abuse them in or
der to secure rights which ultimately must be bought out
by the government. Then, too, private interests are al
ways encroaching. San Francisco seeks to grab half of
the Yoscmite for the Iletch-llctchy watershed. The na
tional parlarc always more or less under bombardment
by speculators, acting under the cover of special law. Not
long ago one assault was headed off which, had it suc
ceeded, would have enabled any one to condemn at two
.dollars and a half an acre the great falls of tho Yellow
stone or of the Yoscmite.
The Crater Lake National park offers an example of
this divided control. The park superint6ndent is under
jurisdiction of the Interior department, the forest rang
ers and patrol under the forestry bureau (Department of
Agriculture), tho road surveys under the "War depart
ment, the geological surveys under the Interior depart
ment, the road- construction under the good roads section
of the Department of Agriculture.
The government has established thirteen national
parks and twenty-eight national monuments, or small
areas, the former comprising more than 4,500,000 acres.
Tlie parks created by congressional action which are en
titled to rank as national institutions are the Yellow
stone, in "Wyoming, Montana and Idaho; the Yosemite,
the Sequoia and the General Grant in California, the
Mount Rainier in Washington, the Crater Lake in Oregon,
the Glacier in Montana and the Mesa Verde in Colorado,
which is a five mile strip for. the protection of some of the
most interesting ruins on the continent. The Grand
Canon of the Colorado probably will be added. Smaller
but some of them as beautiful, if not as extensive, are the
Wind Cave in South Dakota, Sully's Hill in North Dakota,
Piatt in Oklahoma, the Casa Grande Ruin iaArizona, and
the Hot Springs reservation in Arkansas.
Some ot tlie smaller partes arc relatively unimportant
and may be ceded to the states which contain them. The
remainder, however, are of international interest and at
tract visitors from all over the world, yet even the great
est of these parks, the Yellowstone, was visited by less
than twenty thousand persons in 1910.
Secretary Fisher holds that the advantages ot a bu
reau of national parks would be:
First, to bring together in orderly arrangement all na
tional parKs ana monuments, tnus suustituung umionmiy
of law and administration for the present helter-skelter
conditions.
Second, such a bureau, competently officered and pro
vided with funds with which to attain expert advice,
could insure development of useful properties and avoid
a great waste of money upon othqrs. It would also pro
vide for skilled landscape architects under whose direc
tions the natural beauties of tho parks may be properly
displayed and brought to their highest development.
Third, exploitation of the parks follow the example
of the railroads and let the people, know what unrivaled
attractions in the way of scenery and health the .parks
have to offer. The bureau could issue literature, maps
and hotel and railroad information, and, in a word, de
velop business for the parks to tho benofut of the public.
If Secretary Fisher succeeds in the creation of a park
bureau he will have accomplished something well worth
the while and made his regime most memorable. In his
efforts he will have the cooperation and best wishes of a
majority of Americans everywhere.
