National Park.
Forty-four miles by forty miles is the size of the prospective National Park, comprising the magnificent and wonderful valley at the head of the Yellow Stone River, in the Territory of Wyoming. The bill setting apart this valley for a park was recently introduced into the United States Senate by Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, and passed without discussion.
This wild, romantic, and picturesque section of country abounds in marvelous attractions. Nature, with profuse hand, has scattered mountains, rivers, lakes, canyons, water-falls, geysers, hot springs, forests of pine, and everything else that the most exacting sight-seer could demand, in this highly favored spot; everything—except hotels. These in due time will appear, and when railroads place it within easy reach, a trip to the Yellow Stone Valley will rival, in the minds of many, a voyage to Europe.
