YOSEMITE CROWDS TO SET NEW MARK LOS ANGELES, April 19. Tourists travel into the Yosemite this year will be the largest ever known, even exceeding last year's remarkable record. This is the confident prediction of Mrs. D. A. Curry, president, and Robert T. Williams, manager of Camp Curry, popular resort in the Yosemite valley. "Mother Curry, as she is affectionately known to her many touristic friends and Mr. Williams were in Los Angeles recently on a pre-season visit, combining business and pleasure. Thrn J. A. C.

Plans for an early opening have had to be changed on account of recent heavy snow there. April 25 is the date now not for welcoming early vacationists into the valley. Although the snow, which it is reported fell generally over the whole Yosemite region, has blocked mains of the roads leading out of the valley and delayed automobile travel even from the north.

The streams that find their way into the Merced river on the floor of the valley by way of the Yosemite, Bridal Veil, Nevada and other famous falls are now assured of a plentiful and lasting supply of water at their source, it is said. The postponement of the opening will also have an advantage. Mr. Waters declares, in that it will enable Camp Curry to carry to completing much of its plan for larger accommodations before the first appreciable influx of spring tourists. Among the improvements now under way, he enumerates enlargement of the cafeteria and the addition of much more space to the dance floor.
