and fleet of foot. they were splendidly
equipped to elude the ordinary hunter.
and il required all his skill and cum
ming to outgeneral the game. But the
hide hunters could post themselves in
numbers all along the regular run
ways of the deer, and by brute force
overcome his strategy.
AS was the case with the buffalo.
: the government ignored eevry appeal
that was made for a law that would
protect these game animals against
the raids of the hide snatchers until
the fate that had befallen the buff
falo. through failure to grant them
protection. was almost that of the elk
and other deer. The reason for that
ignoring was the same that permitted
the buffalo 10 go on to eXtermina ton
Government agents and other officials
were financially interested in the
trade in hides, and their influence
was sufficient to prevent the enact
ment Of protective laws. 1t WAS not
until the elk and mule deer and ante
lope had become so thinned that fur
Their slaughter was Improbable that
opposition TO their protection by law
no longer appeared
But there is no longer an elk range
as once existed. and there never will
be one again. Such of the herds as
are left are chiefly within government
enclosures, and while they are the
same noble beasts in appearance as
ever, the spirit that marked them
when they roamed at will in their
Old-time habitat seems to have de-
parted
There may be more noble and ex-
citing sport than an elk chase as we
used to follow il in the northwest, but
| never experienced il if there is.
The elk Travelled in herds, and when
not hindered by snow made their way
with wonderful ease and rapidity
through and over the very worst of
the bad lands of the regions they
made their own. Mounted. on a fleet
and surefoOted horse. the hunter was
frequently led a chase of many miles
before he was able to bag the wary
game. The natural gait OF the elk
is graceful. swinging trot, and as
long as the fleeing animal is able TO
maintain that gait he never tires.
II Was the one great OBJECT OF the
hunter to force the elk off of that gait
by pressing him so close and hard as
TO cause him to break into a gallop.
When the hunter could succeed in do
ing this he might count on the game
being his. It seemed impossible for
the animal, so long as the pursuit
lasted. to fall back into his trot again
The unnatural gallop or lope soon
tired him. He began to lag and sway
from side to side. He seemed to know
that his fate was sealed. He by and
by stopped in his flight and turned to
make a fight for his life.
Invariably mounting a rock or
elevation of some kind, the elk made
his last stand. No wise hunter ever
got within reach of the tremendous
spread of horns or the stroke of the
fore feet of an elk thus brought to
bay. He might fully as well stand
face to face with a grizzly as to risk
such contact with an elk. From a safe
distance the sportsman sent a Win
chester bullet through the elks heart
or brain, and the hunt was over The
elk always died with his face to the
foe"

PORK AND PROSPERITY

The sensational feature of the food
market a year or more ago was the
unprec adentedly high price of hogs.
On March 2S 1910. the selling rate for
1--we hogs was s1O.95 a hundred. the
highest it had been in a generation.
and in zeal money probably the high
est it had ever been. Probably one
reason was the ravages of hog cholera
in years Immediately preceding. In
Kansas, The great producing state for
| these ANIMALS, the estimated loss
| from the disease in 1909 was 81, 900, 900
and no doubt that discouraged grow
ers to an extent that reduced the
supply appreciably. At the beginning
of the following year. however, the
agricultural department announced
the development of a serum which
was not only sovereign remedy for
the disease, but a prophylactic against.
its attacks. and, properly applied.
would render the animal immune for
life, which in the history of the hog
is not supposed to be a very extended
period. Not much has been said about
about it since, but inasmuch as the
market has apparently enjoyed unin-
terrupted prosperity for the last eigh-
teen months, a decided check from
some source has apparently been Civ
en- to the malady. There was unus-
ual aativity last week in the great
hog markets, of which Kansas City
is one of the foremost. On a single
day over $4,000 hogs were received.
which exceeded by nearly 1000 the
ceipts, which was in January. 1903.
The reason given by the commission
men is that the wheat harvest is ear
lier than usual and that the farmers
are anxious to sell their marketable
live stock in order to take care of it.
The great supply might have been
supposed to have a depressing effect
upon the market, but the prices fell
off not more than 5 TO 10 cents on a
hundred. though at closing out sales
at the end of the day some dropped
Is cents. The sales were from Sc to
500, quite a slump from 1910 prices,
but not below a point that leaves the
industry one of very fair profit to
those engaged in il. The high figures
of a year ago naturally drew many
into the business or led them to in
crease that in which they were al
ready engaged The receipt sat the
five western markets were 100000
less in 1910 than in 1909 and 100000
less than in 1908. For the little more
than five months OF this year they
have been 2,250,O0O more than for
the same time last year. at which
rate they ought to reach the high
total of three years ago. The les
sened price of this great staple. while
still on a paying basis, is a whole
some condition. II favorably affects
the cost of living problem.

THE WAR ON ELK
HALTED IN TIME
They Were All But Extinct When
Protection Came.

Government protection OF Elk
against the hide hunters was long de-
ferred. said a Wyoming cattle man.
but il came in time to save that
fast disappearing member of the deer
family from the fate that overlook
the bison. 1t was not so many years
ago that the game butchers were
Strengthening 10000 elk a year in the
Northwest
The resident Of Kansas or Nebras-
ka need not be Of middle age yet to
remember when elk were still plenti-
full in both of those states. and once
their range was from the middle
states TO the Pacific coast. The rapid
adance Of civilization drove them into
the dense and as yet uninhabited re-
gions Of Minnesota and the north
western country. II they had been
doomed to extinction by the natural
progress of civilization or the effects
of legitimate hunting they could have
had the assurance Of a long life ten
ure in even those most accessible
haunts But the wholesale slaughter
of elk 50 thinned out the great herds
that the sportsman had at last to seek
the game in the most remote parts of
the region 10 which they had been
driven.
The same may be said of mule
deer and antelope. When the buffalo
hunters were still busy their attention
was attracted to the possibilities Of
elk, mule deer and antelope as pro-
ducers of hides. Spectators saw
great business in trading in the skins
Of those animals. which then were al
most as abundant as the buffalo. and
an organized crusade against them
was begun.
THE greatest destruction by these
professional hide hunters was done
among the elk during the season OF
deep snow. In April the cows OF

retire to the thicket and close timber

to kill in one month in the snow, and

party of thirteen hunters, and they

thousands Of elk must have been
slaughtered in that district alone that

casses of elk lying by the hundred
along the Yellowstone river, the meat
being left to feed the wolves and other
prOwling beasts ana birds. The men
who were engaged in the active game
butchery were selected by their en-
plOyers from the toughest and most
worthless class Of camp followers and
Adventures. They were armed with
repeating rifles. and even when the
deep snow did not aid them in their
slaughter they were frequently able 10
kill each a dozen elk from a herd be-
fore 1t could get out of range. The
average price for an elk skin in those
days was SO.
The mule deer. which were also
the prey Of the hide snatchers. ranged
from Idaho to Oregon. They were
much more shy than the elk. and
sought the higher parts Of the bad
lands. Quick OF eye. keen OF scent
