A letter sent two days later
to William Gladstone Steel,
superintendent at that time,
nntifing him of the enactment,

the status of "national park"
for the lake which he had
heard about while still a boy
in the midwest.
The House of Representa
tives passed the bill April 19,
1902, and the Senate brought
the same bill up to vote May
R. Thirteen days later the
