An EFFORT TO SAVE ELKS.
THE ORDER WHICH BEARS THEIR NAME
HAS ENCOURAGED THEIR DESTRUCTION.

THE ORDER WHICH BEARS THEIR NAME
HAS ENCOURAGED THEIR DESTRUCTION.
In a recent magazine article one of the directors
Of the new Geological Garden in Bronx Park said
that the American elk following the buffalo,
and would be the next species to become extinct
in this country. The Geological Park has fairly
good herd of elk and is doing what preserve
this, we'll other species It now appears that
the destruction of the elk is due the Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks In the circum-
stances, the name of the order sounds sarcastic.
The Elks have formed habit of wearing eks'
teeth watch charms. sleeve buttons. etc. and
they have created SO great a demand for them
that the prices OF them have gone up and hunters
have been encouraged TO kill the animals for their
teeth alone. They chiefly abound present in the
northern part OF Colorado though perhaps
species which is so fast disappearing. 1t might
be better 10 say that IL is there that they least
scarce
Members of the Colorado Springs Lodge Of the
Order Of Elks recently discovered that it was the
habit of hunters in their own State kill elk for
they had fallen making absolutely no other use OF
them. On this state Of things being brought 10
the attention of the lodge. resolutions were passed
and circular sent to every lodge throughout
using in any way the teeth of the animal. Un-
fortunately the practice Of using these teeth for or
naments has spread beyond the limits or the order
the animal is a large one and its teeth are OF
striking appearance. 1t is hoped. however, that
some good may be done by calling general atten-
ton 10 the subject and that sentiment may be
aroused favor of the preservation or one or the
finest species of American animals.
