NO CARS IN YOSEMITE PARK

Interior Department Believes Automobiles Would Interfere With Stages. Washington.—There is one place in the United States where the motor car is seeking tn vain for admission. That is the Yosemite National Park. The interior department has been receiving numerous requests tor permission to operate motors in tbe park. All of these were refused and it was decided that “It is impracticable to permit cars in the park because their presence would practically eliminate travel by stage, the roads being in such condition that it would be dangerous for teams and motor cars to meet.” Th« department also has made -a rule that no visitors be allowed to carry firearms into the park.
