I asks it, dear people, we cannot do less. "We have enjoyed writing these let ters, and now we are through, feeling '.-tire the Children's Aid means some 'thing to you for you have given us ivour money, service of every kind I ioveller gifts than you've given would) be hard to find.

'There is plenty of range for both elk 'and cattle in tfu- summer time, but I there is not enough hay for both elk land cattle In the winter. "If the cattle men let their stock die off like the United States biological survey lets the elk die, the humane so ciety 'would be after the cattle owners hot and heavy. j "The elk should either be placed un der the direct supervision of the forest service or under state control and I something should be done at once or there will be no elk " That is the way C. J. Pederson, Jr.. , a ranger of the Jackson Hole country sums up the elk situation. He is here with other stockmen in the hope of -t-tling a permanent solution of the i difficulty. The biological survey, it is stated, purchased about $45,000 worth of ha. paying about 15 a ton for It. but the anMMi iwj.jmitniirap gmxn hay is about 40 miles from the elk and i will cost about $20 a ton to' haul the hay to the elk. Meanwhile the elk are starving It is the stockmen's plan to ship ! their cattle to this hay. turninc over their hay to the starving elk. But the stockmen want the problem settled once and for all. They complain of ' federal red tape and want a careful investigation made of the situation. oo I Doug Fairbanks in ''ARI ZONA" Latest Current Events and Lyons-Moran Comedy at the Cozy today and tomorrow.
