Man Offers Nothing
To Equal Beauties
Of The Yellowstone
Old Faithful And This Geysers; .
Scarface And The Grizzlies. A
Ranger Story.
(Bv RENN DRUM.)
From Salt Lake City, Utah, on in
to the Eagle Ranger Pass entrance
to Yellowstone the automobile tour
ist catches other glimpses of the old
west similar to those in western
Texas. Artzona. New Mexico and
Nevada. But for a halt day's ride
beyond Salt Lake the car travels!
through more of the fertile, irrigat- J
ed Utah farms before reaching the ;
Idaho line.
The route through Idaho is by
way of Pocatello and Idaho Falls
and through the Blackfool Indian
reservation, where the Indians arc
very little removed from the primi
tive stage existing when the white
man first dared enter the west, ex
cept that many of the redskins now
have dilapidated motor ears which
carry them to and from their source
of fire-water. For the most part the
red men are as indolent and shift
less there as are Indians everywhere
and about the only sign of life one
sees in the glaring sunlight around
the tiny, thatch-covered shacks on
the prairie will be a bony horse
grazing upon the withered grass, ora
fat squaw, her long skirts trailing
In the dust., hanging slits of beef on
the roof to dry.
Sugar beets and Irish potatoes are
the two big crops of the state and
about the only livelihood other than
stock raising and cattle grazing.
These western cities, however, are
; Just as modern as our eastern cen
ters of population. The collegiate
youths wear their red and green
suspenders and have their hair lard
ed. while their girl friends exhibit,
''just as many bare legs and lust as
much sophistication as the flappers
of the East. The majority of the
•'soda, sheets,” thereabouts are girls,
for i young man there may look
collegiate, but he doesn’t last long
unless he exhibits enough physical
prowess and daring to hold down a
man's job—and a man's job in the
terms of the West Is man size
Into Yellowstone.
The traveller leaves Idaho and
hits the lower edge of Montana just
before driving into Wyoming and
the Yellowstone.
Back East the opinion prevails
that there could be no trip to the
West without a visit to Yellowstone,
for the great national park is one
Of America's institutions, and it
should be for no other one place so
typifies the great out-of-doors, the
wide open spaces, and an idea as to
hbw America looked before Chris
Columbus cajoled his Queen into
sending him west looking for a new
land.
Old Faithful geyser is generally ac
eepted as the outstanding scene in
the park, and it is entitled to the
honor, but there are hundreds of
scenes and sights scattered over the
hundreds of acres of virgin forests
and towering peaks which not only
enchant but awe the sightseer.
Among them are the Giant geyser,
the Grotto, the Rocket, the Drag
on's Mouth, and the water terrace
formations, including Cleopatra's
Terrace, one of the most mystifying
beauties in the world; the Paint
Pots, the Mud Volcano, Crystal
Falls, the Yellowstone Grand Can
yon, and Yellowstone lake. Several
days may be spent rambling through
the travelled portions of the park
with new sights greeting the eye
around each comer—or perhaps it
may be a bear looking for his daily
sweet. There are miles and miles of
the park, which have never been
traversed by any but the hardened
government rangers, «h#e auto
horns have never been heard, and
where to the animals and birds a
man is a strange sight unless he be
a government ranger who knows *his
birds and animals as the average
“civilized" man knows the various
parts of his car.
The Park Clock.
If your watch ts falling to keep the
proper time. It may be adjusted by
timing It with Old Faithful. This
gigantic, geyser spouts its steaming
water high into the air every 65
minutes, and in the many years it
has been watched it has not varied
in going off more than a few sec
onds. Hundreds sit by with watches
in hand to time it. After spouting
the stream of boiling water settles
slowly back into the large hole from
which It emits. Then for 40 minutes
those who watch see nothing but
steam, as if from a kettle, issuing
from the mouth of the geyser. But
after 40 minutes or so one hears the
water getting nearer .the surface,
sloshing about as It gets warmer.
About five minutes before it erupts
the steam, mixed with a small
stream of water, in great clouds
fills the air above. And Just as the
second hand ticks off the last of the
65 minutes the huge stream of boil
ing water leaps high Into the sky
where it plays for 10 or 15 minutes
before quieting down to start all
over again.
At night now a large searchlight,
In varying colors, plays upon the
geyser when it is in action. Human*
are permitted only a very few sight#
of such grandeur and indescribable j
beauty.
The other geysers, of which there
are scores in the Geyser Basin sec
tion, vary in formation and size—
the Rocket resembling a fireworks
rorket, and so on. All have their
particular individual appeal.
A Bear Story.
What has come to be one of the
most appealing parts of Yellowstone
Is a mixture of man and nature, the
twilight lectures by a grizzled rang
er Rt the Bear Feeding Ground, the
ranger dividing time in telling his
romantic story with the big bears
hp knows so well. Black bears ai*e
seen everywhere about the park..
Not pets, for the rangers tell you a
bear never becomes a pet, but bears
which have never heard a gun fire,
and know not what fear is. These
are black bears, remember; the
grizzlies are seldom seen and they
are the real sights of the wild life
there.
The ranger who lectures from the
back of his horse Is one of the most
Interesting personages the writer
has even encountered, and the story
h* tells of wild life and of the win
ters where none but hardy men can
exist was the most Interesting story
the writer has ever heard or read
depicting actual happenings and
events. The average newspaper
reader hUs read of the better known
sights of Yellowstone in pamphlets,
government texts, and feature stor
ies, so this narrative will, for a time,
confine itself to the ranger and his
story.
The Bear Feeding Ground is
nothing more than a low platform
built back from the settled portions
of the camp near the edge of the
mountain wilderness All refuse
from the lodges and hotels is dump
ed there each evening to attract the
bears, and a short distance away is
the open-air stadium in which hun
dreds sit each evening of the sum
mer to hear the ranger and the
story the Department of the In
terior has finally persuaded him to
tell. Another ranger sits near the
crowd with his high-powered rifle
as protection for the hundreds who
listen should one of the bears de
cide to "go crazy," and the crowd
appreciates the ranger and his rifle
near the end of the lecture, as dusk
settles over the wild scene, and a
few of the giant grizzlies shuffle
down from the mountainside to
drive the frightened black bears
away so that they may partake of
the luncheon No one ever plays with
a grizzly, because no one ever has
the desire.
At the outset of his lecture the
ranger tells of the grizzlies. The
ranger, incidentally, was educated
in the east and is a naturalist. To
the book learning he received in the
east he has added many years of
actual experience spent with the
bears and wild life back in the un
travelled mountains, seeing no hu
man for months except the ranger
who is his pal. The grizzly bear, he
says, has never mixed breeds and
has nothing to do with other bears
or other animals He ts to the rug
ged west what the lion is to the
jungle—king of his domain.
"If there are no sudden hand
claps, a grizzly or so may wander in
to the platform before I get through
talking,-' informs the ranger. At
that time a half dozen or more black
bears are already shuffling about
him as they fight over the meat re
fuse. The black bear is more afc
customed to civilization.
"The animal of animals in the
park," the ranger continues, "is Old
Scarface, boss of the grizzlies, and
so far as we are able to tell the
oldest of the animals here. In .sonic
fierce combat in his early days a
huge wound laid open his face,
therefore his name. We estimate
that he is 17 or 18 years old and
he weighs 900 pounds-or more. Per
haps you'll see him before the
evening is over.”
nna so we aid. ,\enr the end o£
the lecture the hundreds of hearers
had become so wrapped up in the
ranger's unusual story that they
had momentarily forgotten the
black bears pawing over tne food
on the platform, when suddenly
every black bear made a wild dash
for the timber, apparently terribly
frightened.
“Be quiet," urged the ranger, "X
believe you're going to see a sight ”
Then from the bushes shuffled
the thing that scared the black
bears within an Inch of their lives
It was Old Scarface himself. A
giant beast, weighing almost as
much as a horse, but built low upon
the Rround. The circus cages contain
nothing like him. In a moment or
two he was joined by a couple of
other grizzlies, but it was most too
dark to see them, and the ranger
kept talking in a level voice asking
that no one make a sudden noise to
frighten them. ‘‘The natural tone
will not scare them away. My voice
to these residents of the wild means
nothing more than the song of the
birds, and the creaking oi the
trees in the wind. A sharp noise,
though, will send them charging
back into the forest.”
Soon a stick broke and the griz
zlies, led by Old Scarface, were
gone with a rush back to their
lairs, or tree-beds, high in the
mountainside.
The ranger first told of the hab
its of the bears; how the mother
bear, the best mother of all an;- j
mals, trains her young cubs to j
hold up tourists for their eats and;
how to protect themselves. On the. j
first spring after their birth the
mother bear takes her two cubs,
they are usually two cubs io a lit
ter (a Gertrude and a Willie, the
ranger terms them) and places
them in the roadway. Tills takes
place early in the spring just after
the snows melt and before the tour
ists begin arriving. Each day she
makes them sit there on their
haunches waiting for what they do
not knowr. She stations herself on a
ledge nearby to watch. If they
leave, she gives them a spanking
with her big paw, a tiny little slap
tumbling them back 10 or 15 feel.
They never need'but one spanking.
Eventually a baggage-covered flivver
comes around the bend. The cubs
wonder what it is. but upon the
ledge the mother bear gives the ov
der to sit tight and the cubs do. The
car must stop and the mother bear
makes her young remain before the
car in hold-up fashion, even if she
has to lend her aid, until the tour
ists dig in their luncheon box and
toss the cubs a sweet morsel to cat.
Then they shuffle back to the
roadside to await the next, car. In
jn hour or so, in mid-tourist sea
son, they get their fill and then
shuffle back to the mountains. No
auto tourist leaves Yellowstone i
without one or two holdups.
“Suppose.” some one asks, ‘‘that j
you don't have anything to eat in
your car?"
'■Well,” the ranger answers.
“That's just too bad: you have to
remain there until the next cat
comes along and hope that he has
a bar of Hershey's fo toss the cubs.”
Real Winters.
All the rangers seen in the paik
are not full-time rangers, the lec
turer-naturalist explains. Many of
them are college boys serving only
during the tourist season as guides
and assistants. During the winter
only the tough old-timers can stand
the graff. There is a reason, or sev
eral reasons. which the ranger
gives—and therein is his most re
markable story. Early in October,
when the first signs of early snow
appear, everything leaves the park
except the rangers. Their horses
ajid other domestic animals must
be taken below “the level.” They
cannot live through the winter.
There is a bustle of activity. The
full time rangers must store in their
huts about the mountains, thous
ands of feet above sea level where
it gets the coldest in America, then
provisions for the six months . f
snow. From November until late
spring they never have any con
tact with outside life and the rang
er sees no one but his pal. Two
men stay to each hut, to keep one
from going insane from lack of hu
man companionship, and those two
men patrol their allotted area. They
travel by skiis over the top of tire
snow, which at many points hides
the smaller trees.
“It takes us a week to ski across
n territory you could drive over in
two hours tn your car. me ranger
informs. "We take time about break
ing the trail with our skils; I go it:
front 15 minutes, then my pal. If
one of us makes a misstep some
where tn a 20-foot drift. It's Just
too bad (that’s their Kismet ex
pression in the west.) A man tn the
Rockies in the winter with a broken
leg has about as much chance as a
horse with a broken leg. One m?<n
could not carry another very fat
upon skits. If we get sick, which we
seldom do. there isn't anything to
do but get well. We have to await
spring to get out and get down to
level and a doctor.”
Off the back of his horse th»
ranger is an embarrassed fellow
and very shy. He isn't accustomed
to people since the major portion of
his life has been spent in the sil
ence of the mountain slopes where
four people is a big gathering.
"A few years back." he says, "my
pal for the winter was one of the
old fellows, who has been in the
ranger service since he was a boy.
He’s almost forgotten how to talk,
and he very near killed me one
morning because I talked too much.
I merely said. Good morning' or
something like that. He wanted to
know what I was talking all the
time for and declared that any
man could tell all he knew in IS
minutes and from then on said
unnecessary things. After a few
years in Yellowstone, away from the
tourist centers, you realize that
more than nine-tenths of the aver
age conservation i« absolutely un
necessary. This oid ranger has not
been down into the tourist camps
for years. No one knows how long
it has been since he has seen a cltv
or civilization.”
Many people stav over several
days in Yellowstone to hear the
head ranger, or naturalist, lecture.
His story has never been heard in
full by the average man, and we
of the civilized sections have no
conception whatever of the vastness
of the regions these rangers patrol
summer and winter. He explains not
only the bears but the birds, deer,
bison, and other native animals of
the rookies. He tells you that the
eagle is a no-account bird, and
that the greatest of all birds is the
osprey. But to give his story in de
tail, with its interesting sights,
would be too much. In fact, there is
too much to Yellowstone for the
i average person to pack even a brief

Says Webb Is Best
Loved N. C. Jurist
Charlotte News.
After serving the State as Judge
y[ Superior Court for 25 years,
Judge James L. Webb has announc
;d his intention of retiring next
^ear. The incident is noteworthy.
No man in North Carolina, with
.his exception, has served the State
onger in this capacity. No man has
traveled more extensively over
Morth Carolina holding court than
Judge Webb. He has officiated in
•very one of the 100 counties, save
sne. He is the state’s best known I
md we will risk the assertion, the
aest-loved jurist.
And Judge Webb's unreproachable
:onduct, his sense of fairness and
his kindliness of heart, have en
titled him to these plaudits. There
s nothing hard, stern and uninviting
»bout him. The only criticism that !
:ould ever be offered against him
lias had to do with his leniency, and
somehow or other, we have not
come to be so sour and bitter and
marblehearted as to believe that
leniency is an unpardonable sin in
a jurist.
Judge Webb has made his name :
conspicuous on the bench for his i
humanity. We will leave to the
technicians the tributes he deserv-j
cs as a jurist. The Supreme Court
records would, nevertheless, prob-j
ably have a great deal to say in
reference to his abilities as a law
yer and as a judge. But the com
mon people know him and respect !
him because of his friendliness, the
absence in him of that forbidding
presence which some jurists seem
to try to cultivate, and the fact that
he can sympathize with the unbe
friended, and has the heart in him
always to give the offender a chance
at self-redemption.
He is deserving of the rest that
will be his at the end of this quar
ter of a century of service on the
bench and he will enter into it with
the resounding praises of the popu
lace filling his ears and in his soul
there will reside the calm satisfac
tion that he has sought, during all
of his administration to temper
mery with judgment, not an un
Christly mixture.
