The support of every voter Tor constitutional amendment No. 10, which coutemplates an additional 2-mill tax for the purpose of i'm proving the roads of the state, was asked.

WHERE THE BIG
 GAME IS LEFT
u;eh;pau Leads in Deer, Eastern States Have Many and the Slaughter Goes On in the West Indian
 Depredations.

Washington, oCts 5s-A -ACCOrd- mo to reports received by the Ao,i.uliursl department, about |, 400 deer were killed or cap- ,,red in Michigan last year. pennsylvsnia is not usually connted among the big game states. yet nearly 700 deer were Dlled in the mountains there in ,he same period. T. $. Palmer If the Agricultural department has embodied the reports from ,be same wardens ot the various states in which there is big game in an article printed in the Agrl- cultural department year book.
 Michigan led in the number of deer killed or captured. In Min uesota, Wisconsin and Texa, deer were reported plentiful. In the Adirondack mountains in New York about 200 deer were killed. Hundreds of deer were killed or captured in Wyoming, Vermont and Maine. In Wyoming more than 600 elk and 2U0 antelope were killed.
 An invasion of Wyoming by Indians resulted in serious conse- ouepce to the game. Two bands of Utes, each about 500 in num- Der, entered the state iu the lat ter part of July and the first week in August aud penetrated north ia Converse, Weston and Cook counties. The Indians stripped the country of game wherever they travelled. They killed hundreds of sage hens and many antelope and deer. The game wardens and state suthori- ties were powerless to prevent these depreda auons and 1t was only by the aid of Federal troops that the Indians were hnally re. turned to their reservations.
 The dem nd for elk teeth was responsible as in former years, for the killing of many elk. In Washing ton a few Indians from Quinalt reservation were engaged in killing elk for tusks in tn, Olympic mountains, but through the efforts of the Indian agent the practice was promptly stopped. November 20 a carload of tro- phies, comprised of heads, skins, scalps and horns of many elk killed in Wyoming and on the border of the Yellowstone nation- al park, and shipped from Idaho to taxidermist in Los Angeles, were seized in the latter city. Two of the shipper were arrested while unloaning the car. At the preliminary hearing it was shown that they belonged to four teeth hunters, who had been operating in Western Wyoming, north of Jackson Hole and along the southern border of the park. The teeth are used largely for watch fobs for members of the order of Elks.

1scn,arl5nble Fact.
L It is considered truly remarkable that
when so large a body Of visitors are
gathered in one place, practically doub-
ling for time the population of the
city, and when so many Of the men are
far advanced in years, and naturally
suffering from the infirmities Of old
Inge, there should have been no cas-
uaities, no deaths and no serious acct
dents. The fact is the more remark
able when8it isaconsidered that during
reunion week there were three days OF
most unreasonable and wintry weather.

Of he police force In handling great
crowds, to the employees OF the Pas
senger and Power Company for their
care in preventing accidents and for
their excellent service amid great diff
