large game now in existence In such
a limited area within the l'nlted
Ftates. shall not suffer the fate of the
buffalo Is the object of studies re
cently made by ihe bureau of biologi
cal survey and the forest service.
The information gathered nnd the
program outlined for the conservation
of this unique and exceedingly val
uable naUonal asset Is giyen in a bulle
tin Just published by the government
printing office.
There are estimated to be 70.000 elk
in the l'nlted States. The largest
herds are in the Yellowstone National
park and the surrounding national for
ests. Small herds are scattered
ihrough some of the forests of Mn
tana, Washington, Idaho. Colorado, and
Wyoming. Small plants of elk have;
been made in other states and a few
are In private herds on estates, moat
ly in the east.
The danger of destruction of these
herds, however, through gradual occu- ;
patlon of their natural winter range
has become Imminent The public rec
ognizes the necessity for their perpet
uation, but the stepi already taken to
I l . provide for them .ire inadequate.
The problem ia one of land control
whereby provision can be made for
reserving sufficient forage for tho elk
during the different seasons In tho
Yellowstone park area Is the largest
remaining area of public land suited
to the perpetuation of elk in their nat
I i ural haunts.
Here is a vast mountain region
which, so far as summer range is con
trrned. is adequate tor all the animals
now there. It was reserved primarih
for its scenic interest and watt rshed
value. However, severe weather for
ces the elk to lower and more open
lands of milder climate.
Unfortunately, the need of winter
range was not given consideration at
the time the reservations were ei ab
lisbed, and large areas of Jand within
what was formerly the winter elk
range were entered under the public
land laws and passed to private own
ership There is also the prohlem of work
ing out adjustments in the vise of Ihe
range by domestic animals nnd the
game animals. Once for all. a Bettled
public policy mu-t be established as

t'to the place of Ihe elk in the develop
ment of the Yellowstone National park
land the surrounding national forests
It is self-evident that they will be in-
creasing Iy appreciated by the nation
as one of the most valued assets of
these great public recreation grounds
The production of meat wool, and
hides that could b- secured front the
range devoted to elk must be made up
elsewher
Of slightly less importance in the
conservation of this natural resource
is the matter of the enactment and
enforcement of proper game laws.
The dates of open seasons is a hig fac
tor in the winter losses of elk. Too
early season means that many cows
are killed before the calves are weaned
or have gained sufficient strength to
carrj them through a hard winter In
addition, the meat of animals killed
during the warm weather of Septem
ber often spoils and (here results an
economic waste.
There is a class of men. who. under
the pretense of hunting coyotes or
trapping Other fur-bearing animals,
enter the game fields during the lin
ed season and kill elk illegallv Troper
administration should be provided to,
prevent such vicious practices.
The annual increase should be used
I for legitimate hunting, but under
proper restrictions as to number? and
regions. Lav." enforcement is funda
mental and the tooth hunter, the pot
hunter, and ecr game violator must
'go. Provisions made with regard to
I forage for elk go for naught unless the
hunting is proper! regulated.
Ar present the state laws provide
limits on individual hags and prescribe
open seasons, but there is no limit
to the number of licenses issued Ob
jviously, the number of licenses issued
annually must be limited to the num
ber of the annual increase In the
I main herds less what are needed for
I the maintenance of present herds and
for distribution to build up herds else
where. The Benevolent and Protective Or
! der of Elks, as a lodge, has recenth
gone on record as being opposed to
I the wasteful practice of slaughtering
telk for their teeth and antlers This
lodge is also becoming interested in
I the solution of the various problems
I involved in the perpetuation of the
existing herds
Wolves! mountain lions, and coyotes

orous measures against these preda

should not be allowed to relax.

With the Increased price Hnd great

age, conditions have become progrcn
Blvely more difficult and the prc.-ent
situation in Jackson vallej Ifl intol
erable. The ranchers are suffering
and as they undertake iii self-edefnsc
10 protect their interests, the elk suf
fer. Here about 10,000 acres ot ad
ditional winter feeding grounds are re
quired and could be purchased and
fenced for the sum of $300,000! This
is considered a comparatively small
foutlay to perpetuate the great elk
I herds that are grouped there.
Development of oth r has ranches
within the present elk range should
'be undertaken so that foratre will be

general program of elk protection
would be greatly benefited If the re

WARNING ISSUES Ifl SECOND7
HAND DEALERS WHO BUY FROM

A warning agaJnat buying property
of any kind frcmi boys, without ascer
taining Whether it Is stolen, is given
mil tp second band dealers of the citj
by Judge Dan Sullivan of the juvenile
court Many cases of thievery that
;come before the court reveal a prac-
tlce of some dealers in this city of
purchasing goods from bo.- paying
the boys mere nominal sums, whleh.
'the judge says, should put the dealer
on his guard
Judge Sullivan states that there is
one dealer in the city who has made
B special practice of buying things
Irora boys which the exercise of com
mon reason would show were stolen
goods "We have been on this man's
trail for some lime, but have never
been able to get conclusive evidence
until recentlv Now we believe that
we hae sufficient proof of his know
ledge of the wrong in some of the
transactions he has had with hos.
We will have him before the court be
fore long to explain what he knows.
Judze Sullivan staled, this morning
that ho is certain some unscrupulous
second hand dealers are assisting in
making criminals of boys by encour
aging them to bring stolen goods to

Boy Killed in
Idaho by Being
Thrown From Pony
BRIGHAM CITY, July 16. Word I
reached this citv yesterday announcing
the accidental death of Willie Jeppson '
11 years of age. son of Mr and Mrs. j
August F. Jeppson of Buist, Idaho
The little fellow was sent on his pony
about 7 o'clock in the morning far the1
work horses, which had been left In
the pasture overnight. It is believed
that ihe ponv stepped in a badger hole
while rounding up the other horses and
threw the boy with such force that his
neck was broken and death was instan
taneous. His little body was found
where it n.n.s thrown by a brether of
Mr Jeppson who was sent to search
for the boy rf-er a prolonged absence
The body was brought to this city
where things were stolen and sold bv
a certain group of boys in the city,
we have learned that the trail always
leads to one door." said the judc"
"One dealer Is so clever that he buys
from only one or two hoys. He has
those trained so that they buy things
from other boys in the city and they
then bring them to him. and he riv
them a small percentage. '
According to Judge Sullivan, there
are two dealers in the city who are;
the chief, if not the only, offenders.
Some boys, who were before the
court a few days ago. admitted steal - J
ing a horse blanket and Belling If to
one of these dealers for ten cents
They also sold a bridle to the same I
man for 25 cent.s. These articles theyj
bad stolen from the wagon of s far-,
mer who had driven Into town Judge
Sullivan says that these cases wcxe
of such a nature Ihat the dealer could:
hardly have failed to realize that the
goods were stolen.
The warning that Judge Sullivan'
gives out to the dealers is to the ef-
feel ihat If they are convicted of con
tributing to the delinquency of minors
h purchasing stolen goods he will
impose a straight jail sentence of six
months in the county jail wlthqut the
alternative of paying .1 fine.
