Our Washington Correspondence

Washington,eA movement to result in restocking the Medicine
Bow, Laramie and Big Horn mountains with elk from the Jackson's
Hole region is being considered by the Biological survey here. This
bureau has charge of the expenditure of the $4,000 appropriation Sc
cured by Senator Warren last winter for the relief of elk in western
Wyoming, and has been working on the problem with a view to find
ing a practical solution. This restocking will take llace gradually
thru small shipments made from Jacksons Hole, but the ultimate re-
salt will be the restoration of many elk ranges low almost barren of
these animals.
Spectacular newspaper stories of a roundup" of elk in Jackson's
Hole, appearing recently in many newspapers, are without foundation,
according to the Biological survey. That no such drive will be
undertaken is the opinion of the officials in charge of the Warren ap-
preparation. 1t was tried several years ago in California, when
forty five picked cowboys attempted to herd a small band of elk. The
animals went as far as the borders of their old range all right, then
charged theirdrvers and scattered.
At the bureau of Biological survey here it wa stated that the
state game warden of Wyoming wa planning to attempt to defect a
number of elk into the Big Horn mountains his fall or early winter,
but has not made the details of his plan public. 1t is understood
his plan contemplates the guarding of the trails by which the elk
enter the jackson hole country, in the hope of turning them north
ward.
The Biological survey has made two small shipments of elk from
western Wyoming-one to the national bison range near Dixon, Mont.
and the othe other to the national game refuge in Oklahoma. Both
shipments, a well as the one made by private parties to Sheridan and
Others made by the forestry service, have been successful. While
his isa slow and expensive process of thinning the elk in Jackson's
Hole. it is the only practical one yet discovered, and several other
shipments are to be made this year
While all sorts of requests are being made, some modestly asking
for 800 head, the elk are not to be thus farmed out. Legitimate
clubs from mountain regions, county commissioners, commercial
alton in the matter of transportation, may be permitted to assist in
moving the elk. The Biological survey has in preparation an in
teresting preliminary report on the elk situation, and will make reco-
uendation of relief measures.
Senator Warren's idea was to prevent the immense winter loss of
elk III the Jacksons Hole region by shifting some of the animals to
other points in the state. How that was to be done was put up to
the Biological survey and the question has proved a most interesting
one. In the view that possibly the animals might be driven, Sena-
tor Warren, secured the promise of the War department for the use
Of soldiers, if necessary, and these might be used to advantage in the
guarding trails and DETECTING immigration to other points.

Second Annual Fair A Grand Success

The people of Carbon County can congratulate themselves over the Sc
cond Annual Carbon Comfy Fair, for it was a success in every particular,
The Fair has developed a great ambition and raiseda great hope in the
hearts of every one, and that is the ambition for Carbon county to equal any
part of Wyoming in the production Of agricultural crops, and the hope that
ing bitches, to that end that the land may give bounteous crops for the sup
port of mankind. We know this time is coming, and we also feel that the
day is not very far distant when u hopes and ambitions in this particular
will be realized.
The Fair managers are especially grateful to the Carbon county news
papers, the Encampment Herald, the Snake River Sentinel, the Rawlns
journal, and the Rawlins Republican, all of whom have stood loyalty be-
hind the Fair and gave generously of their space in favorable mention at
different times
The Far organization is o fairly on its feet. The Fair given il
1910 was an experiment, but the Fair of 1911 was a great success.

A Very Old Relic

One of the very old relics on
exhibition at the Fair was an an
cient flint lock rife which was
found in a cave in the Baggott
rocks along the Encampment river
The discovery was made by Mrs.
Robert L. Wood, who was explor-
ing the cave. Beside the rifle she
found a number of different color
ed small porcelain beads such as
the Indians use in decorating
mocasins and other articles and a
lot Of arrow heads made from bar.
rel hoops. The gun is well pre-
served considering the fact that il
has probably lain in its hiding
place for IS years. The flint is
still in place aud the cover to the
powder pan can be moved. The
stock is falling in pieces and the
barrel has been bent. This an.
cient relic is now on exhibition al

and if you have neve seen one oil

we're used in the days of the Rev.
