they have accepted the tender of

Mrs. Thomson and sons have been
residing at the national park.
While Superintendent Thomson,

it is understood that he will either
sleep nights on a cot In the armory

The ('rater National park super

the distinguished guests from up

causes "Pop" much worry, which
he expeclfi to amelioraln by 'taking
