T urning now to the Yellowstone, | 
we have a beautiful example of : 
how the ignorance of the tourist, i 
who hungers for a little trout fishing, 
is turned into dollars by the people in 
charge of the resorts in this great Na- 
tional Park owned by the people but ex- 
ploited for private profit. | 
That justice may some time be done, 
I will relate my experience exactly as it 
occurred : i 
In the summer of 1917 I came from | 
Old Faithful Inn to the Lake Hotel, | 
situated on the shore of Yellowstone : 
Lake. | 
On the same automobile was a Mr. | 
Earned, also a tourist with a hunch for ,

protested. “How much do you charge 
for a row boat?” j 
“Two dollars a day,” wasi the re- i 
sponse. Whereat I said: “Fair enough 
I happen to know it is only 114 miles 
down this left hand bank to the outlet 
where the trout fishing is, so if you will 
rent my friend here a rod and outfit we 
will take a row boat.” I 
“We won’t rent you a fishing outfit 
unless you rent a launch,” calmly re- 
sponded the boatman. 
Refusing to be held up in our own j 
National Park, we went over to the i 
Wiley Camp where Mr. Earned rented 
an outfit at a fair price. I had my own 
outfit and in a half hour we rowed down 
to the outlet, anchored and, using Jun- 
gle Cock flies, caught a nice string of 
cut-throat trout. 
Next day I rented the boat again and 
caught all the trout the law would per- 
mit me to bring back to the hotel. 
Anchored near us was one of the 
launches aforesaid, and the gentleman 
who rented it paid about $25 for his
