Heretofore, telephone service in the park has been limited to pri vate systems which were operated by the park service and by the hotels, but as a result of the new facilities, Long Distance service now connects with the Bell System throughout the country. A three circuit group has been run into Mammoth Hot Springs, the park headquarters, from Helena, Mont., with another direct wire from Livings ton which is sixty miles north of Mammoth. A summer ex change is located at Mammoth, with circuits leading to Yellow stone Canyon, Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful and West Yellow stone, which is the western en trance to the park.
