DescriptionLetter from V. T. Edler to General S. B. M. Young protesting the proposed elimination of 40 to 80 acres of Madison National forest for construction of the Yellowstone Branch of the Oregon Short Line. Edler argues that the acres set aside for a townsite would attract illicit businesses which would detract from visitors experience of the park and threaten the discipline of the troops stationed there, citing a previous incident when whiskey was smuggled into the park.
