! state. 1t Ii estimated that at least Is
head will be taken In compliance with
the statutes allowing 10 per cent OF
. the natural increase to be taken by the
state. The deer Will be sold by the
game and fish commissioners to the
J highest bidder, and from indications
It is not likely that they will bring ~
much as 70 many cattle. A good COW
will ordinarily bring $50. but the COM
missioner says he viii do well II he
gets <25 head for the deer. Owners
Of private parks are looked to as pros
pective purchasers, while some private
families will bid high for fawns in.
tended for pets. Just where the sale
will be held Is not yet decided, but II
will probably be in Debeque, Is miles
from the present home OF the animals.
None Of the deer may be taken out Of
the state.
