MOUNTAIN WILD LIFE INCREASES REPORTS OF GLACIER PARK RANGERS INDICATE THERE IS PLENTY OF GAME IN ROCKIES Goats, Sheep, Elk, Deer, with Some Moose are Listed Among Wild Inhab itants of Massive Defiles of Continental Divide Winter reports to the superintendent from a dozen Glacier National park rangers indicate there is plenty of game in the Rocky mountains this'year —goats, sheep, elk and deer, with some moose found in certain sections. Virtually all of the summer tourists traveling the trails usually see some of the wild animals. Hikers see more than horseback parties, of course, since the latter make much noise and fuss. Hikers who fall to see game do not understand how to look for them, nor how large they are in comparison with their surround ings. They cannot estimate distance nor heights, but soon learn with a little help. I. Different portions of the park present different animals, or in greater or lesser numbers. Mountain goats are to be seen on nearly all high summits. They have been seen on Gunsight pass trail at Sperry Chalets, at Granite park, along the Garden Wall, on Going-to-the-Sun from the Siyeh trail, along the Garden Wall on the Plegan pass trail, on the ledges about Grinnell glacier, on the walls about Iceberg lake, at Red Gap pass, along the trail over Indian pass, on Goat-haunt at Waterton lake, and from Fifty-Mountain camp on the Kipp moun tain. As many as 15 have been seen at once. Mountain sheep have more limited range, and are much more difficult to see, as they blend with the rocks and the foliage. £t Many Glacier as many as 20 females with lambs come down to the salt near the chalets. Visitors have gone as close as 40 to 50 feet of them. There were daya when hotel visitors sat in the hotel and through the windows watched sheep, from five to 20 on Mount Altyn. Then they went to another win dow and watched the movements of from two to five goats on the end of Grinnell. While deer are not so commonly seen they are close about camps and hotels. A great many tourists reported seeing them at different places last summer. Since deer are shy and very quiet, they ma) be passed very frequently on the trails and be unobserved, summer coat blends with the vegetation making them quite inconspicuous. On more than one occasion an immovable whitetail, in plain sight, could not be seen by tourists without careful instruc i tlons as to just where to look.

Each unit must be inspected by the ranger at least three times every sea son, and if permittees are careless, in spection must be made more frèquent ly.
