T , SPOTS FACE POOR HI IS Travel Restrictions Hit Re sorts And Scenic Attrac tions In Rocky Mountains By Jack V. Fox United Press Correspondent Denver (U.R) Old Faithful will keep on geysering once an hour and the Carlsbad Caverns will be as deep and mysterious as ever, but all indications are tnat the famous vacation soots of the West will have the smal lest number of visitors this sum' mer than at any time In the past quarter century. A check of the best-known of the resort and scenic attractions of the Rocky Mountains shows that gasoline rationing, wartime restrictions and a general feeling that this Just isn't the time for vacation celebrations have re duced attendance to from one third to one-tenth as many tour ists as In the years before Pearl Harbor. Superintendent Edmund B. Rogers discloses that Yellow stone Park will be open this summer, but, as he puts it, "there will be no attempt to encourage visitors this year." None of the hotels, lodges or cafeterias will operate and there will be no bus service in the park. Bears Stay Home, Too He discloses that 581,761 per sohs visited Yellowstone In the peak year of 1941, compared with only 64,144 last year. Rog ers says people are so scarce that even the famous bears don't come down from the mountains now, because there is no one to feed them candy or peanuts. The situation is the same at the Carlsbad Cavern of New Mexico, where soldiers stationed at nearby camps are virtually the only visitors. t Attendance at Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah has slumped from 60 to 80 per cent and a further drop is expected this year. Roads Closed The shortage of . equipment and manpower has caused the Colorado state highway depart ment to announce that it will not open the highways to the top of Pikes peak or to the sum mit of Mount Evans the high est automobile highway In the road. And the army has taken over beautiful Echo lake as an arctic training center and established a ski-troop camp only a few feet from the top of the continental divide near Leadville. The nationally-known Opera week at Central City, Colo. once the gathering place for the rugged but wealthy 'gold min ers on the "richest square mile on earth" has been cancelled again this year.

Rirenide Ph. 3148 KATONEN WINNER IN REVAMPED GO On receipt of a last-minute telegram from Bulldog Jackson in Portland stating he was un able to appear in Medford last night for his scheduled wres tling match with Paavo Katonen because he was "sick," Promoter1! Mack Lilliard was forced to re vamp his weekly wrestling card to stretch five grapplers into filling three matches. Under the rearranged pro gram, the opening match went as scheduled, pairing Tarzan Potvln against Silent Rattan for the usual three rounds, or two out of three falls. Semi-wlndup saw "Gorgeous ' George Wagner battle it out with Harold "Buck" Davidson, winner of the first fall to meet Katonen in the main bout, In the first contest. Rattan won the only fall In the third and final period when he caught Potvin with a body scissors and rolled him over for a press. Davidson took the middle bout front Wagner after a spectacular exchange of blows and words, with a body press in the second round, which gave him the win and the right to meet Katonen in the finale. The main event, slated for one hour straight wrestling or two out of three falls, saw Da vidson take the first fall with a leg-breaker after about eight minutes. Katonen evened the count In -the second, four min utes later, by coming out of a series of headlocks applied by Davidson and slapping a dou ble armlock on the tired ex-marine. The final fall went to Kato nen six minutes later after a se ries of kidney punches. HOW THEY! AV s fa nJ a m American W.
