PAGE TWO THE LBXHIPEP FEBRUARY 22, 1923 Yellowstone Park The Yellowstone National Park lies almost etirely in the state o^ Wy- omingr. It was set aside for the use of the people in 1872, and since that time it has been under the con trol of the United States government. It contains 3,300 square miles, and perhaps nowhere else in the world are so many wonders in such a small area. There is a strange, wild place in this park called the “Hoodoos” or Goblin Land. There is a tale that Satan formed it by sliding down one mountain and his wdfe dovcn another; but it really was formed bj' a moun tain caving in and filling the cavern below. In late years, a road was constructed through it, but it some- tim.es gives "way. Another important feature in this wmnderful park is the geysers. The rqost w'onderful one is the Giantress. ■ Its eruption occur irregularly, five to forty days apart. When these eruptions take place the earth shakes around the geyser and it shoots up boiling hot water many feet into the air. The roar is deafening, and the in need of | l5 l> i> S> «> \> i> r> L> 0 i> l> i> r o o' ^l> o> 0> 0 0> O' o; 0 0> ¥ clean fresh butter. insist on getting | I our famous Pied mont Creamery Brand.

Other important geysers are the Castle, Old Faithful, the Gia.nt, the Bee Hive, the Lion, the Lioness, and the Cub. The most wonderful hot spring is the Morning Glor5^ which is at the upper Geyser Basin. It is a pool of water twm feet In diameter, and formed in the shape of a morning glory. It is very beautiful, with its many beautiful colors. Leaving the hot springs, we come to the upper Falls. They are two- thirds as high as Niagra Falls, and shoot over rocky, cliffs and the w^ater strikes the rocks and gives out a thousand rainbow colors. Farther on down are the Lower Palls. They descend from a height of twice that of Niagra, thundering over the preci pice in a roaring, foaming flood of green and amber. There is much more to see in the park. There are beautiful little lakes among the hills, and many petrified forests. For twenty miles ■along the Lam.ar River, there are many stumps and trunks of trees turned to stone. Yelloiystone Park is a large refuge for wild animals. No hunting is allow'ed and thousand.s of elks, ante lope, and moose, hundreds of buffa lo, and many bears, brown, cinna mon and black, wander about una fraid of men. Even the dreaded grizzly, which is not often .seen, does not attack men unless provoked. Pishing is allowed, and one may re main weeks in this wonderland and then fail to see all that is interest ing. The Grand Canyon is very beauti ful with its many beautiful colors, and many people come especially to see it.

I have to write for the Lexhipep But I don’t know how I’ll do it, I know you will rejoice with me When finally I am thru it. II. If I but had the talent A poem deep I’d write, I’d make it worth the reading ‘Tho’ it kept me up all night. III. Talent, alas, ’tis lacking, The poem, I fear, is too, And as for a rival of Browing I don’t think I am, do you ? IV. All poets in the future Will have my sympathy. Plow they make things fit in their proper place Is more than I can see. V. ’Tis very hard to end this rhyme Since now I have begun it. At first it seemed impossible But now you see I’ve done it.
