President Roosevelt has received the handbook from Yellowstone Park Superintendent S. B. M. Young. He would like Yellowstone to have civilian guards under the Forest Service, but he was unable to accomplish that this year. If the opportunity presents itself to support some U.S. representatives, he will try to get it done or perhaps through Senator Thomas Henry Carter. Either way, Roosevelt would like Young to stay at Yellowstone.
