THE END OF POACHING.

"Only a few years ago it looked as if the
elk would be wiped off the earth, along
with the buffalo. There was demand for
the 'tusks' al the pre-molar teeth on the
upper law were called. They were used for
watch charms. sleeve buttons. and so on
A pair would fetch anywhere from so cents

had borrowed the elks name started re-
vulsion Of feeling among its members. so
that now they are far less anxious TO get
the poor beasts teeth, and the market for
those souvenirs has gone down tremendous
" AT the same time he federal author
tiles began to police their preserves in ear
nest They ran down the notorious Binck-
ley-Purdy gang which had been poaching
on the elk ranges of the Yellowstone and
shipping its booty out in carloads. The
chase ran from Los Angeles to the park
and through half a dozen courts, but the
gang was put out Of commission. and
poaching was suppressed for good and all.
"Since then the elk have increased at
tremendous rate-four thousand TO hve
thousand every year When they were at
their lowest point Of numbers very lim-
ited winter range was enough for them, nd
they and the settlers could botn find room

wyoming has been prospering. as well as
the herds. and the ranches have pushed up
10 the very gates of the Yellowstone. In
the old days some of the elk used TO push
through Jacksons Hole some down TO
Lower Snake River. some down Green Iav-
or some over the Teton Range into Idaho.
But all those regions are settled now. The
grass is either cut for hay or else II has
been erazed by sheep. and y is proverbial
that sheen crop turf as short as the nap or
A Turkish rug. There is nothing left that
can be eaten after a snowfall
"In JaCkson's Hole itself there are now
several hundred people. They have church
cs. schools. a telephone line and daily
mail service. even In winter They are not
enemies TO the elk. but they need the grass

A REFUGE IN YELLOWSTONE.

1T was in such valleys that our Amerl-
can elk used 10 find their winter feed But
the elk we're killed off by the thousands
and driven from one range after another
until their only refuge was the Yosemite
Park. Even there they were almost ami
hilated. OF late years they have multi

park toward their old feeding grounds And
those have been taken up by settlers.

tiers had pushed into the wilderness. Yet
OF course, it is an inevitable thing. The
land is needed. and II never can be gwen
up. The people will grow more prosper
Gus and more contented. But 1t is pitiful
that the elk should be starving.
Just at present il is the duty OF the
nation and OF the states where the herds
lave taken refuge 10 see that they are
kept alive through this winter. But it is
far greater duty TO get the best opinion OF
