Convincing evidence that the wild buffalo of Yellowstone National Park the last surviving remnant of the great herds which once roamed the western plains, are on the increase, instead of dying out, as was feared has been obtained in the discovery of a new group in the southeastern por tion of the park. About 15 animals were observed, evidently a part of the old herd, which it is thought grew so large that some of Its members were forced to break away and seek new pastures. Hehnite information has been 'ob tained by park authorities that there are now more than 100 of the wild buffalo in the park. Formerly 'there were only half that number. When discovered, the new herd was within five miles of one' of the larg est hotels in the park n& a snapshot was obtained of one of the animals, a fine bull, probably the first'photo graph ever taken of a wili buffalo. Ordinarily the wild buffalo never are seen by tourists and only rarely by park authorities, even by the .managers who patrol the most remote' sections. 1'lie appearance of the new herd close fo the main lines of travel was before the season opened "and the anmials. ap parently had been "lured down from the mountain fastnesses by the abun dance of spring grass on the lower levels. They disappeared into the untravelled country as soon as automor biles became frequent along the high ways.

The pullmans were only recently put on. In addition to this hearing the com mission has announced the following dates for hearing petitions from gas companies for an increase in Tates. Charlotte, .
