The largest herd of wild animals in the United States, and probably in the world, is the great band of elk which winters in the lowlands of Jackson's Hole district, Wyoming" said D. G. Robinson, of the western state, to Star" man at the Raleigh. There are estimated to be some 32,0O0 head of elk in the band. The men who have given this estimate are we'll known ranchers and cattle men or cow boys and owners of sheep and stock ranges. Their estimate comes pretty close to being a correct one. During the severe winters in Wyoming, when the elk, driven by the bitter cold and heavy snOws, approach almost to their very doors. they have unusual oppor- tunities for observing this great herd of magnificent animals.
 All the elk in Jackson's Hole dis trict are carefully protected by lhe scattered residents of the country. At present the herd is under the constant surveillance of two deputy game war dens, who carefully watch the band when any portion of it strays into the district over which they have any au- thority. In the summer time the herd is widely scattered over an extent of country the radius of which is more than 500 miles. embracing a territory of virginal beauty and primeveal grandeur.
 "Of these elk which enter Colorado, a large percentage is killed, while the few which stray into Utah fall into the hands of the Ute Indians The elk which wander too far from their home are not killed in the summer, but late in the fall
 By far the largest portion of the | herd which is guardede in the winter ! in Jackson's Hole passes the summer in the timbered heights in Teton, Gros Ventre and Shoshone mountains, the Big Horn basin, the Yellowstone Ma tionaI Park, and even in the free range near the settlement of Jackson itself. ! One gentleman recently counted a herd of 500 elk within two and one half miles of Jackson.
 within the last five years the elk have decreased 1900 in number. This alarming decrease is due as much to the restriction of their natural range as to the effects of sportsmen, Indians or commercial hunters, who, 1t is of ten alleged, have pursued the herd in order to obtain the much prized elk's teeth for a certain fraternity In se- were winter weather a large number perish from starvation. Rather than venture to the lower pastures they 1 founder through the deep snows of the mountains. browsing from the buds Of birch and quaking aspen. A thaw, followed by severe cold weather. makes a heavy crust that proves the undoing of the emaciated elk. Their progress becomes so difficult as to prevent the animal from obtaining sufficient food.
 "It is often incorrectly stated that elk browse on sheaves of pine and frs. If this were the case, they would never starve, for their range abounds in con- ifers. Very few elk are pulled down by wolves. cougars or other wild ami mals; in fact, they remain in the mountain attitudes long after the deep snOws have driven these hungry ma

Massachusetts Census Figures surprIs

Massachusetts Census Figures Surpris-
Ing.
The census just completed by the bu-
reau Of labor statistics in Massachusetts
shows that the population OF that state
increased far less rapidly between 1900
and 1905 than during the previous five
year period. The figures are in striking
contrast, 1902 against 305, 1853 The in
crease in the state since 1900 is only $50
per cent, compared with the increase Of
1921 per cent which the census of
1900 showed over 1895. Even the cities
did not gain as rapidly between 1900 and
1905 as they did between 1895 and 1900
This is indicated by the fact that in 1900
the percentage Of the population under
city government was e., with the same
percentage, showing no increase in 1905.

Boston, showing that suburban Boston is
growing much faster than the city itself.
The population OF the latter is now $685.

The testimony before the legislative
committee to investigate insurance COM
panies at New York revealed the farce
of the so-called mutual system at the
first flash of the searchlight. Robert A.
Grannis. first vice president of the Mu-
tual Life insurance company, who draws
a salary of $4,000 a year, testified that
for practical purposes the policy holders
have no participation in the control of the
company. With more than $4,000 policy
holders less than 200 votes were cast at
the annual election. Conditions in the
New York Life insurance company were
similar. only 800 policy holders voting
personally. The testimony showed that
the officers of the companies held thou
sands of proxies which they could have
voted had any attempt been made at a
change.

100000 barrels are shipped from this
