When we drove up to West Thumb,
a small village on the edge .of Yellow-
stone Lake, we found a small geyser
basin right at the water’s edge. Here
we found the Fish Pot—a hollow cone
shaped rock forming a boiling! steam-
ing cauldron, which rose right out
of the lake some five or six feet above
the water. Many good and honest men
have lost their “rep” by telling that
they have caught fine fish in Yellow-
stone Lake, and without rerri6ving the
fish from the hook had cooked it good
and done while baiting another hook.
Yet this could easily have happened
as it probably did.

Austin, Sept. 25.—A committee
which studied the problem recom-
mended to Governor Allred today that
unemployment insurance be consider-
ed by the special session of the leg-
islature convening Sept. 28.
The governor said he would an-
nounce probably tomorrow whether to
submit the subject along with rev-
enue raising for old age assistance.
Another subject may be provision of
additional housing for the insane.
The committee said the*t only way
the tax money to be collected by the
federal government beginning Jan.
1, 1937, could be retained in Texas
was to pass an unemployment com-
pensation act and obtain its approval
prior to Dec. 31, 1936.
It recognized the federal law might
be held unconstitutional and any state
legislation necessarily would be in-
operative.

We left this wonder of wonders and
passed on through beautiful scenery
in a great semi-circle, feating mir
eyes upon great cliffs, forests,
streams, lakes, and, last but not least,
have something to say presently
about one member cf this wild life,
a Mr. Black Bruin);
We finished our semi-circle and
came into the Fire hole basin—a land
of 10,000 smokes” where'you couldn’t
see the end of the steaming valley.
No ’wonder the Indians avoided this
valley as they would the palgue; for
the sight of it was really awful, and
whose smell was worse (sulphur
fumes everywhere in addition to op-
pressive steam).
We failed to see some of the won-
ders of the park; among them were
the Mammoth Hot Springs which have
terrace after terrace of lime and min-
eral around them; and according to
reports, are very beautiful as well as
interesting. We also missed the petri-
fied tree which is of much interest to
tourists (I wish to state, parentheti-
cally, that we have a petrified, forest
in Brewster County, Texas and con-
sequently I do not regard the missing
of the petrified tree as I otherwise
would). We also missed the feeding
grounds of the bears where the bear
have a daily feed of good food. This
is done for the double purpose of
giving Mr. Bruin plenty to eat and
to keep him as far away from cam-
perites and lodges as possible^ Many
of the bear, however, seldom visit
these feeding grounds, preferring the
more lonely spots and food of their
own selection. I must mention in con-
nection with bear that a bear lunch
counter is maintained near Old Faith-
ful Ranger fetation, where the bear
come right in out of the woods and
walk right into a clean well kept house
where they receive their lunch. There
across a rather long counter is passed
Mr. Bruin’s lunch—the counter sep-
arating the “cook from the customer.”1
I can’t pass without a few words
concerning the Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone River—one of the most
awe inspiring sights seen in the park.
The river falls very rapidly, passing
over a series of falls, until it reaches
the bottom of the canyon. The fall
of the river must be about 2,000 feet
in 5 miles. Before reaching this can-
yon floor, it goes over two falls of
much interest—one over 200 feet, the
other over 800 feet. The latter fall
makes a mighty roar and te heard for
miles; producing so much spray that
the falls are scarcely visible. Besides
features mentioned, the color of can-
yon walls is very striking and beau-
tiful. The scene is really splendid on
a bright day and really pays for a
ci ty.

the Waco section, was expected to
spread over more farming land. The

is cut with old river channels which
will absorb much of the overflow, how-
ever. The Brazos was two miles wide
and spreading over bottom lands here.
At Washington the river rose to
a stage of 32.5 feet and backwater
was flowing into Navasota River,, but
there was no crop damage as yet.
Farmers were prepared to move out
if necessary. They were expediting
the harvesting.
A 22-foot flood which came down
the Leon River out of the Hamilton
County area reached Gatesville dur-
ing the njizht and flooded a vast sec-
tion of Coryell County. Damage to
crops was estimated at more than
$100,000 in the county.

In a heated four-hour meeting
Monday night the board of directors,
by a 5 to 1 vote, went on record as
opposing the censorship and asked th*
university board of regents to with-
draw its censor. Those opposing the
censorship were the student members
of the board of director^, while the
lone dissenting vote was cast by Dr.
J. Anderson Fitzgerald, dean of the
school of business administration at
the university.

While on the subject of beautiful
parks and scenery, pardolt a brief di-
• gression that we may mention the
fact of many unusuaf parks and the
second greatest canyon in )Nprth
America right in our dear state. This
is the Grand Canyon of the Rio
Grande River,. Further, much scenic
beauty is right at our door—the Lam-
pasas State Park, the wonderful sul-
phur springs, splendid building sights
in Lampasas city limits, together
with the clear beautiful streams and
other scenic objects in many places.
Now, back to Yellowstone Park,
probably the most popular object in
i the entire park has yet to be men-
tioned—Old Faithful .Geyser. As ev-
eryone has read of it or seen it, I
shall not attempt a describe, but will
say a few words to show how it at-
tracts tourists. We wete greatly sur-
prised to find a large modern hotel
in about 400 feet of this never-ending
mystery. When we drove up, there
must have been 300 or 400 people
waiting for the eruption which oc-
currs with great regularity, every
65 minutes. The eruption which lasts,
some 15 minutes and is accompanied
by underground rumblings and earth-
ly tremors, throws out—to the best
of our knowledge—about 15 tons of
hot water-and steam during one per-
formance. Ono must see it. to get an
idea of its beauty and sublimity.
We must mention one more thing
before leaving the park—a slight ac-
cident which happened to our adven-
turous chauffeur, Earl. We were sail-
ing through a beautiful forest on one
of the park roads when we met a big
black bear—a beautiful fellow—yet
he had a cynical eye and a suspiei-'
ous appearance in general. As we
soon found he had a rough uneven
temper and we inferred from his later
conduct that he had likely been jilted
by some fickle sweetheart or chastis-
ed by an angry wife; or possibly,
routed from some ambitious project
like catching mice or digging for
worms (these later affairs are serious
things with Mr. Bruin). The boys
neither knowing or caring that Mr.
Bear was both ill mannered and out
of humor, wanted his picture; so they
proceeded with camera and food, to
the place where he solemnly • stood.
Mr. Bear
“Walked out in the middle of the
road and stood on his hind feet.” He
twisted, turned and maneuvered his
body until Earl couldn’t “get him”
with the camera, so he let L. B. have
the~camera and he proceeded to make
friends with Mr. Bruin by using kind to Gatesville, bringing that communi-
fftltering words and by tossing him
bits of food (which Earl held in a
paper sack).. Mr. Bear became more
sociable immediately and came closer
each time a piece of food was re-
reived. He even seemed to smile with
appreciation and friendliness as he
approached our hero, but when he
came within some 10 feet of Earl, a
different look came into his eyes, and
I saw the saliva drip from his mouth
while*with a cat-like motion he leap-
ed at the sack of food snatching it
with one hand and striking Earl a
hard, glancing blow with the other.
While we were recovering from our
astonishment and

pour out her symjithy in sweet, moth-
erly tones as <fhe applied an antisep-
tic to the wounded arm. I saw L. B.
look on with envious eyes while the
nice little woman continued to pat and
manipulate the wounded arm. As he
(L. B.) turned his eyes for a closer
look at the busy woman I heard him
sadly say, “Aw shucks, Earl has all
the good luck!”

Washington, Sept. 25.—In reply to
his criticism that the New DeaJ’s gold
buying policy was giving foreigners
a Whip hand over American economic i shelter,
conditions, Senator Arthur IL Van-
denberg was told by Secretary Mor-
gent hau today that the policy had
contributed to recovery.
The correspondence between the
Michigan Republican and the treas-
ury head was made public last night
by the treasury.
Vandenberg asked a series of ques-
tions regarding gold purchases and
asserted that by enabling foreigners
to build up hig holdings of American
securities they-had brought “peril to
ouf*0/»mtatic situation?’
He based his complaint on th>
ground that when gold streams into
the United States, it is sold fyrdol-
lars which are used to buy American
securities. Should foreigners decide
to liquidate, the securities, change the
dollars back into gold and take the
metal out of the country, the nation’s
economy would be dealt a depression
blow, he argued.
Replying, the treasury chief said
that dollar revaluation under the gold
policy stopped a downward sweep of
prices “ and helped to initiate an up- I
ward movement,” stimulated business j
activity, wiped out “some of the gross
injustice between debtors and credi-
tors created oy sharply falling pri-
ces,” and enabled exporters to regain
their competitive, position in foreign
I markets.
Vandenberg said that through the.
influx of gold, foreigners now own
about $4,000,000,000 of American se-
curities and other holdings “on in-
stant call.”
Asserting that heavy withdrawals
of foreign capital in 1931 “(lemoral-
ized our stock markets,’ shook our
banks and deepened the rigors of the
depression,” Vandenberg added that
the present situation makes “our fin-i
ancial structure and our price struc-
ture rest to a considerable extent on
foreign judgment or caprice.”-'
Morgenthau, however, said that the
size of foreign holdings here “should
be no cause for alarm.”
Saying that the holdings “consti-
tute no threat fb“continue»T recovery,**
Morgenthau asserted it was true that
gold inflows to this country might
be reversed if major European mone-
tary problems are solved, if Oriental
and European “political disturbances”
disappear and if other important eco-
nomic factors abroad show a marked
improvement.”
He expressed the view, however,
that any such developments would af-
fect only “a small proportion of our
total gold holdings.”
