raiigeiiieiits for tlic iiu'ctin<i- at Yollowstoiic I'ark l»o ])lacc'(l in 

 the hands of Dr. Hensliall witli tlic assistance of Mr. Booth, of 

 Spoarfish, North Dakota. 



Secrc'tarv Peabody: As I uiidcrstaiKl from Dr. Honshall and 

 others, there is one hotel there only, and practically we can only 

 deal with one corporal ion. Xow it might be possible that if we 

 decided definitely on going there, absolutely and arbitrarily, that 

 we could not make quite as favorable terms as we could if it was 

 left in some such form as this: That the executive committee 

 might make this arrangement if satisfactory, to go to the Yellow- 

 stone Park ; if not they could decide upon some other point. We 

 might be held up I don't know as there is any ]30ssilnlity of that 

 sort of thing; I don't know anything al)Out tlie ])ark ; l)nt it is 

 in the nature of things, that if we definitely decide on going to 

 one hotel, we will not get the best terms. 



Dr. Henshall : I will explain that there are four or five lio- 

 tels, Imt all under the same management; the ^lammoth Hot 

 Springs is tlie first liotel you come to after entering the park, 

 and is the usual place of meeting of all conventions that go to 

 tlie ])ark; after you have concluded your deliberations you can 

 make your tour around the park. The rates are the same at all 

 hotels, but the Mammoth Hot Springs is the most suitable place 

 for holding the meeting, because it is only five miles from the 

 end of the raili'oad. 



Secretary : T understand that, but it is only one corpora- 

 tion — the whole thing. 



Dr. Henshall : Yes. 



Secretary Peal)ody: It is all the same thing — they charge 

 any price they please ; is there any fixed price, or have you any 

 terms from them? 



Dr. Henshall : The usual price has been $4 a day, and they 

 made a reduction at the time that ]\Ir. Fullerton speaks of, to the 

 nu'ml)ers of the Xorthwestern State Game Wardens and Com- 

 missioners' Association, to $3 a day, and they will probably do 

 the same thing in this case. 



^Ir. Titcond): 1 think Mr. Peabody has the right idea. I
