Many EIks Perish

That nine out Of every ten elk calves
born the past season to the thousands
Of Elk which make their home during
the winter in the famous Jackson Hole
region of Wyoming, have persisted, is
the information which has reached
western South Dakota
The state game warden reports that
many of the grown elk persisted the
past few months, but that the greatest
mortality was among the elk calves.
He estimated the number Of elk now in
the Jackson Hale country at 5000.
The elk which have survived the hard
winter will soon take up their march
for their spring feeding grounds in the
Yellowstone National park.
Elk which were over two years old
seemed to have withstood the severe
weather conditions much better. When
the bad conditions became known the
state officials established feeding
grounds in five different localaties. At
one of these 400 elk have been fed for
many weeks. and at this point the
state game warden counted forty eight
dead elk calves. The other four feed
ing points showed about the same ratio
of deaths.
In transporting feed to these grounds
the state had a strenuous time. The
feeding grounds necessarily We're at
points remote from railroad lines, and
the feed had to be transported through
deep SHOWS. Many days were con-
sumed in making these journeys. Had
the state not provided feed for the elk
the herds of the state would practically
have been annihilated by the severe
weather.

A New Experimental Farm

The location of the government agri-
cultural experiment station in Fall
River county by the recent congress,
and the appropriation of $40, 900 for its
development, is most gratifying to the
region west of the Missouri river. The
measure was secured through Congress
man Martins efforts, and is something
the whole western region has been anx-
ious for since the semi-arid region be-
igan TO be developed agriculturally. 1t
is the purpose of the government to
make this dry farming" expert
mental station whereby the people who
are settling in such large numbers all
through the semi-arid region may learn
how best to till the soil, to conserve
the moisture, what grains are best
adapted to the soil, and, in short, the
government proposes to do the expert
menting for the people, thus relieving
the latter of considerable expense and
time.

Calls ON Attorney General

Another complaint is coming to the
to the state attorney general in regard
to alleged violations of the liquor laws
at Spearfish. 1t was alleged that the
election on the license question at that
place year ago was not legally held,
and the matter was carried to the SUI
preme court, which held that the cleo
ton was not legal, and no saloon could
legally operate. But it is now claimed
that the saloon men are continuing
business regardless of the courts de-
cision, and the anti-saloon element is
asking the state to interfere and look
after law enforcement. The matter
will no doubt be put up to States At.
torney Heffron, of Lawrence county, t
look after.

"On the End day of March, 1861,
President Buchanan approved the bill
giving to Dakota territorial govern
ment," says Armstrong in his Early
Empire Builders. 'The news did not
reach Russia until the 18th of the
month, and on that night hats, hur-
rahs and town lots went up, to greet
the dawning future of the Great North
west.
In June, 1911, pioneers and offspring
of Pioneers of the five great states
which were carved from that territory
South Dakota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Idaho-will gather
in the Mother City of the Dakotas to
commemorate the birth of the Great
Northwest, and will bring with them
abundant evidence of the prosperity
which has attended them whever they
have gone. With the arrival of Will
liam Jane in June 1861, to assume the
difficult position of governor of the
largest organized territory of the
United States, comprising $4,000
square miles, the development began,
and with few interruptions has con-
tinued until today no group of five
states in the union contain more
hardy, more prosperous, more intellec-
tual citizenship than do those that
were carved from the original Dakots
4 territory; and no five states contain
half the possibilities that are still
bound up in them.

To Raise Big Game

The game warden is negotiating with
the government for some twenty-five
elk and some mountain sheep to place
at suitable points in the state for prop
agation. The government has appro-
priated some $40, 900 for the purpose
and the only cost to the state for
acquiring limited number will be for
Grating and shipping. About $1,000
will be spent for the Chinese pheasants
that it is proposed to put into the state
although about thousand applications
have been received. They cost from
SO to Sc per pair, so that it will be
impossible to comply with all requests
for them. In county in the western
part of the state pack of wolves
recently drove a deer into the streets
of one of the towns, finally running
the little creature into ditch where it
fell. breaking its leg. The wolves
escaped, but the game warden was
summoned and had the deer shot, put
ting it out of its suffering.
