Snap Shots Are Taken at Herds of Elk
By Forest Officers on Tributaries
OF the Rio Grande

and the snow blowing 80 that it
was difficult to see any distance
and they were quite close to these
elk before they were seen. AS an
experiment they tried to see how
close they could get to them be-
fore detected, and managed to get
within about so or so feet. On
this afternoon the snow became 80
soft that it was almost impossible
to make any headway with the
shoes. Higgins returned in the
evening with a camera.
On April 9th, the outfit was
packed and the party went north
to the head of Soda creek, down on
the north side of the north fork a
heavy trail was found and followed
for some distance but the wind
and snow of the day before had
filled it to such an extent that it
was practically impossible to tell
which way the elk were travelling
or how many there might be in the
herd. Bowers took the high ridge
and Higgins and Sweitzer worked
along the side hill. About IL
o'clock they found trail which
could be followed and after lunch
they separated. Half a mile fur
ther on one of the party espied the
bunch of elk and signalled Higgins
who was travelling along their trail
towards them. He changed direc-
ton and succeeded in reaching the
top of the Divide without arousing
them. When within 40 yards of
the bunch he was detected and the
herd were driven within 60 yards
of the point of concealment.
-Four good exposures of this herd
were made. There were IA head
in the bunch but these were not
counted against the total since it
was thought they might possibly
have crossed the mountain from
where the others had been seen
previously, although that is very
improbable.
On the way down the mountain
the largest trail which was seen
on the trip was found coming from
the south in territory which
had not been investigated and from
where the ones formerly seen could
not possibly have crossed over.
There murt have been 40 or so and
probably more in this bunch, but
on account of the lateness of the
hour there was no attempt made to
follow them, and for the reason
that snow became 80 soft that it
was almost impossible to travel on
snow shoes, there was no ATTEMPT
made to look them up the following
day.
That this is an ideal elk terri
tory is clearly demonstrated by the
fact that five years ago there were
but 10 or 20 head of elk in that
country while now they have in
creased to at least $50, THE act.
ual count of the number seen on
this trip is 1851
On account of the ideal condi-
tions and the fact that the animals
are already there, the Government
the Elk lodges and the public gen.
orally, should be sufficiently inter-
ested that they would all work to-
gether towards having set aside a
game preserve in that territory for
the protection and perpetuation of
the species.
The Monte Vista journal., 1912-04-20


Bowers and Jay Higgins of the
Forest service, left Monte Vista
for Phillips Spur west of Del
Norte, on trip of observation.
On arriving at Phillips Spur,
the outfit which consisted of SNOW
sled, provisions, camp equipments
and snow shoes, was transported
by wagon to the south fork of Elk
creek above the Haney ranch, and
camp established.
On April 2, they left camp about
7 o'clock in the morning and
climbed the high ridge between
the north and south forks of Elk
creek. The south side of this
ridge is all bare and the forage is
exceptionally abundant. Reach
ing the top of the mountain it was
found that the snow there was
about 81 feet deep. This extended
down on the northeast exposure
and prevented the elk from Cross
ing over to the north fork of Elk
creek. The snow also covered the
lower fats or benches to such an
extent that they could not readily
CROSS to the south. After the top
of the mountain was reached, snow
shoes were used and general
westerly course was followed.
About l O'Clock in the afternoon
the first bunch of six head were
started out of the head of small
draw. They were in fine condi-
ton. A mile further west large
bunch was seen and considerable
time spent in getting as close as
possible. After having approached
them to within about 100 yards it
was found impossible to get closer
and two of the boys went around
the top of the mountain on their
snow shoes while the other climbed
half way down the hill and hid
under heavy bristle cone pine
tree. In about an hour three large
bulls left the herd and ran across
the side of the mountain within so
feet of where Sweitzer was hidden.
Two exposures were made with
the camera. In about 20 minutes
the whole herd were started by the
boys who had gotten around on
the other side, and they trotted
out across the side hill and rounded
up within 60 feet of the tree under
which Sweitzer hid. -Four expos
ures were made of this bunch, but
later developments proved that the
film had broken in turning and the
pictures were lost. There was a
total of 81 head in this bunch and
all were in exceptionally fine con-
dition. OF this total there were l.
bulls more than two years old and
good percentage of yearlings,
probably 20. After the boys came
in sight, the elk all travelled east
ward along the open side hill and
turned down into the fiat where
the snow was side deep. They
were not exceptionally wild and a
game hog" would have had easy
picking to kill the whole bunch.
They moved camp on the third
to the head of Elk creek and in
the afternoon one very large bull
WAS seen. He was camping alone
in little open hillside and the
depth Of the snow was such that it
would have been impossible for
him to leave. Bowers had made
trip to Phillips spur TO send for
another camera and on his return
saw four head which had not been
seen before. This brought the
total up to " head.
On April . Higgins went down

He was transferred to the inside of
the mill, and here spent three years
more.
These six years in the mill gave
Wood a reputation for ability, and j..
A. Beauvais offered him position in
his newly formed banking house. There
he got a training which was the real
foundation of his later success as a
manufacturer
His opportunity to get back INTO the
mill business came when Otis N. Pierce
of New Bedford undertook the reor-
ganization of some Fall River lElls
which had lost money. Mr.. Pierce in
vited Wood to go with him as his as
in Fall River for six years, working In
various mills and keeping in close
touch with their financial and manu-
featuring administrations. He made
many friends among the business nacn
of New Bedford, and they started to
raise money to build a mill, of which
Wood was to be general manager.
He was on the road selling wool
ems when Thomas Sampson, q Rhode
Island manufacturer was engaged to
take charge of the Washington mill in
Lawrence, Many stories are told of
Woods abilities as a salesman. He in
vented the wrinkle of showing his

proved tremendously effective, showing
as it did, exactly how the goods would

to be used. He also devised a way of

Caught BETWEEN
CAR And BUILDING

Grand Forks, N. D.. Sept. 1s.-Ole
Helling lies at st. Michaers hospital
with three broken ribs as the result
of being crushed between the new ele-
vator of the Diamond mill and a Great
Northern boxcar. Helling, who is a
carpenter, had been working on the
elevator. He had been doing some
work on the inside and desiring to
get outside he attempted to climb
down q ladder from window, failing
to see the cars which were being
switched. Just as he got started down
the ladder, a boXcar was switched past
him and as the space between the side
of the elevator and the car was very
narrow, he was caught between them
and badly crushed. He was rolled
along the wall for some distance be-
fore he fell.
Helling was assisted into the drive
way and after sitting down for a
while got up and walked up and down
for while to see how much. he was
hurt. A physician was summoned and
the injured man was taken to the hos
pital where an examination revealed
three broken ribs and one of his ears
had been badly cut, and that he had
been bruised considerably No intern
al injuries were sustained, however,
and Mr.. Helling will soon be able to
leave the hospital although 1t was
narrow escape from being crushed to
death. The victim of the accident has
made his home in Brenna township.

competitors sharply. In many ways
he was the best man Mr.. Sampson
could have found.
Met DIR. Aver.
Wood became assistant manager,
then superintendent of the Washing
ton mill. This was in 1890, six years
for debt AS superintendent young
Wood was constantly in social rela-
tions with DIR. Aver and his family,
and finally he married the doctors
daughter. They now have four child
rem.
cessive millions, presidencies and die
rectorships, estates and yachts. Last
summer in an automobile case he tes-
titled that he did not know how many
automobiles he owned nor how many
secretaries he employed.
Wood lives at No. ,21 Fairfield street
Boston. He has a summer estate. Ar
renee, another at Pride's Crossing and
third on Cuttyhunk Island. He owns
a number of yachts. He is controll-
ing factor in numerous business enter
prises. One of his sisters still lives In
New Bedford. His mother and his
other sister moved to Woburn, Mass,
several years ago,
Woods trial will come probably in
November. District Attorney Pelletier,
who has the case in hand, expresses
confidence that he will place the wool
trust head behind the bars. Wood him
self, however, takes the matter as a
joke, as do many others here and at
Lawrence They point out that Pelle-
tier, is now running for governor, and
argue that the arrest of Wood was
simply a ruse on the part of Pelletier
to get the workingmen's votes.
