Increased Price of Elk restb

During the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than treb1ed,"
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. In 1904 you could get any num-
Der of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
n used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The ~"raveler recited an Incident of
an Ok 4oman who bought a robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.
