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.
Operators of dude ranches
throughout the west have for
gotten about furnishing fancy
clothes and wornout horses for
tenderfeet from the cast. They're
busy raising cattle and sheep,
Word of the death of Pvt.

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.
