Yellowstone Park "Electrical
Show."
The private car "Yellowstone
Park," brings Mr. E. C- Culver, a
noted lecturer on Yellowstone
Park, Mr. E. B. Thompson, form
erly of the Interior Department,
Washington, D. C., and Mr. Geo.
Greek, to Hickory, N.
C., March 6th. Mr. Culber will
deliver a lecture on Yellowstone
Park in the Academy of Music at
8:15 p. m., which will be splen
didly illustrated with many dif
ferent moving pictures and a
wide variety of beautiful stere
optican scenes, which were se
cured by Mr. Thompson during
his trips through the American
Wonderland last summer.
The car "Yellowstone Park"
is owned and operated by the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the winter season it is
sent from point to point as Mr.
Culver's lectures aie demanded,
and served as a traveling bureau
for the dissemination of accurate
information about the greatest
summer tourist and pleasure
resort in America. Mr. Culver,
the lecturer who accompanies
the car, has had more than
twenty years of experience in
Yellowstone Park having driver,
a stage coach over the Park
hignways in former years.
Few men have a closer or more
intimate knowledge of the typog
raphy, the great scenic districts,
and the natural wonder of thv
Yellowstone regio.i than Mr.
Culver.
The views from which Mr.
Culver, s lecture is illustrated are
nearlyall of them new,and are the
fiaest which have ever been
obtained in Yellowstone Park.
Many of them were secured by
Mr. E. B. Thompson, an expert
photographer formerly with the
Department of the interior,
Washington, D. C. who spent
many weeks of arduous lab°r in
obtaining them. Mr. Thompson
visited every section in Yellow
stone Park and made many hun
dreds of negatives, from which
only the very best have been
selected. He has been very suc
cessful in securing new and
exceptionally interesting moving
picture films. Several of these,
especially of the wild deer, wild
antelopes and other game, are
of the finest quality and might
not be duplicated even after
months of hard work. The mov
ing pictures are better than any
which have ever been secured
before in Yellowstone Park.
Mr. Thomson's moving picture
of the wild antelope was secured
near the immense lava a*ch
making the official entrance to
the park, at Gardiner. Wild
deer were photographed near
the Mammoth Hot Springs hotel.
After many weeks of hard
work Mr. Tnompson succeeding
in photographing the wild bears
as they were feeding, s curing
an excellent moving pictifre of
the differentjvacinites which are
common in Yellowstond Park.
Other new moving pictures
includes geysers in action, and
several different pictures of the
coaches filled with tourists on
their way through the park.
The stereoptican views are
equally attractive, and cover a
very wide range of subject, inclu
ding colored views of every im
portant scenic district and all the
pratical wonder of the park.
Mr. Culver's lecture is a pra
ctical and interesting description
of Yellowstone National Park
and the tourist trip through that
region. He takes his audience,
in effect, over the entire route of
the park tour, describing in
graphic language every import
ant scene and the greatest nat
ural wonders of its entire area
The lecture is so arranged as to
simulate as closely as possible
the actual journey. Mr. Culver
describes the geysers, hot springs
tinted terraces and pools, tum
bling rivers, splendid mountains,
wild game, and the Grand Can
yon of the Yellowstone River,
as fche driver of a coach would
explain them to his passengers.
He speaks interestingly of the
history of Yellowstone Park and
draws upon a whole of reminis
cences in entertaining his audier.*
ces. The lecture has rui except
ional educational value, pinceit
conveys excellent ioea of the
Yellowstone Park journey d y by
daj over the entire route of 143
miles. The illustrations .picture
each new scene as the journey
and are exceedingly
instructive in conveying a correct
idea of the marvelous natural
wonder of the park, of the great
gysers, of the splendid Grand
Canyon, and of the beautiful ter
races, springs, paint pots, delic
ately tinted pools, and other im
pressive scenes.
The lecture has been arranged
with a view of making it he!pful
to those who plan a trip through
Wonderland, and interesting to
all who love the splendid scenery
of the Great Northwest.
We county editors sometimes
receive critic'sm, and justly too,
for not writing more and weigh
tier editorials on live subjects.
Our critics would likely makr
more allowance for this admitted
short coming, if they would con
sider that the editor is frequent

advertising manager, managfci
of job department, besides look
ing after the innumerable small
er details of a country .office.—
Ex.
While doing some shopping in
one of our grocery stores last
evening we chanced to hear a
little boy ask his father who
that man was buying the bean?.
- "That is our editor/, said the
father. "What do editors live
on," said the inquisitive little
urchin. "Why do you ask that
question," said the indulgent
father. "Because I heard you
say you had taken our home pa
per for three years and had never
paid a cent for it," To save the
father embarrassment we left
the store, but it is safe to pre
dict that the child got spanked
when the father got him home.
