SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danger Of the
Extinction Of Animal In This
Country.

There are, according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen,
about 100000 elk in this country. of
which 900 are in captivity in 125 diff
ferent places. The largest herd, num-
bering, according to the government
census, between $4,000 and 5000, Is
in the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range In the vicinity
Of the continental divide In the park.
Since the settlement Of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
to obtain food have starved In large
numbers. Since 1909, winter feeding
has been provided by the state of
Wyoming and the federal government,
and recently congress appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of 1900 acres
near Jackson, WyO., where sufficient
hay can be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has expert
mented with small herds numbering
about 100. which have been transferred
to 13 different states for the purpose
OF restocking reservations. In this
way 1t Is hoped that wild elk can be
retained In this country permanently.
The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap-
preaching extinction when the govern
ment and the state of New York took
a hand. 1t Is believed that after the
fnte Of the buffalo many states will at
tempt to encourage the propagation Of
elk in country which Is unfit for farm
ing.

LAYING CONDITION OF HENS
Physical Indications Are Time Of Mott
ing, Color Of Shanks and lobes
and Texture Of Comb.

There are four physical indications
of n hens laying condition, says 0.
3. Kent, poultry instructor at Cornell
university. These are the time of
molting, color of shanks, texture OF
comb and color of ear lobe. The first
and third points apply to all breeds,
the others only to those having yellow
shanks and yellow ear lobes.
Good layers molt late and quickly.
If you go through the flock the first
of October ana pick out the hens that
are just beginning to molt, or have not
started, you will get most of those
which are laying.
In yellow skin breeds the paleness
Of the shanks after a period of laying
is good condition of u hens ca
pacity. Any bird with bright yellow
shanks after year of laying may be
picked out as a good producer.

OBJECTS OF POULTRY SHOWS
As a Rule They Are Not Money-Mak
Ing Propositions-Aid Improvement
Of Standard Varieties.

Poultry shows are, Us rule, not
money making proposition. They are
promoted and conducted by organiza-
tions composed of poultry fanciers,
who are interested in educating the
public In the breeding Of purebred
poultry of all standard varieties. The
door receipts help to pay the many
cash prizes and other trophies offered
to encourage the breeding Of better
specimens Of the various varieties of
our domesticated fowls. Without these
exhibitions the progress Of improve
ment in the standard varieties would
be reduced to a minimum, and the
pozltry raisers be handicapped in their
endeavor to advance the growth of the
pure-bred poultry industry In this
country.

whkther these were the men who had

the negative, but refused to tell what

WASHINGTON TO
PASS ON POINT
OF designations
Whether Members of LegisIa-
ture Can Hold Militia Com
missions is Question

Whether members of the territorial
legislature can hold commissions in
the National Guard of Hawaii is a
question that the attorneysgeneral of
the United States is to pass upon.
Until the much-debated point is set
tied one way or the other, those mem
bers Of the legislature who have re-
signed their commissions will not be
out of the organization. Governor
Pinkham is withholding action on the
resignation until an opinion is had
from the highest available authority.
The question, it will be remem-
bered, was raised by the resignation
of Capt H. L. Holstein of Kohala,
holding his commission in the End In
tantry, n. G. H. He sent his resigna-
tion to the governor last month.
Four other members OF the legislature
also hold commissions-Capt C. A.
Rice of Kauai, Capt. H. B. Penhallow
of Maui, Col. H. A. Baldwin of Maui
and Lieut.. n. X. Lyman of Hawaii.
The technical point involved is that
the organic act provides that mo
member of the legislature shall, dur
ing the term for which he is elected,
be appointed to or elected to any Of
fee of the territory OF Hawaii" and
that a commission in the guard may,
be held to be an Office. .<<
Capt Holstein had talk with Gov
ernor Pinkham during the last few
days and said that in his opinion and
that Of legal friends who have looked
into the matter he is disqualified from
holdioo q nnm mI11ission in the puard
and should resign, since he is a mem
Der of the legislature from Hawaii.
He added. however, that if the govern
or will refer the question to the at
torney-general OF the United States,
he will withhold insistence upon the
resignation. This the governor agreed
to do, and. it is expected that the
poirt will be fully settled soon.

LATEST TIP is NO SPECIAL
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
Speaker HoIsten Returns to Big Island Without Expectation
Of Being Called Back BY Governor

incidentally, Mr.. Holstein in con-
yersation with Mayor Lane put for
ward a suggestion that may be acted
upon by the city as an argument in
favor of the session. =. i.
One of the reasons advanced why
the session should not be called is that
it would be for the sole benefit of Ho-
nolulu and the expenses should not,
therefore. be paid for from the funds
of the entire territory Speaker Hol.
stein has suggested that the city Of
ficials might include in their memori-
al to the governor statement that
the expense of the session would be
borne by Honolulu. He is of the opin-
ion that this could be done through an
enabling act passed as one of the first
actions of the special session. Mayor
Lane it is understood thinks very well
indeed of the suggestion and it viii
probably be made to Governor Pink
ham. b.,
No developments are expected un-
til some time after the governor re-
turns from Kauai.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-04-07

The tip is out that Governor Pink.
ham win not call a special session OF
the legislature to consider the finan.
cial hole in which Honolulu has found
itself and out of which the city Off.
cials wish legislative help to climb.
The governor is said to take the
position that such session is un-
necessary, and that il viii be so ex.
pensive as not to be practical.
H. L. Holstein, the veteran speaker
Of many sessions Of the lower house,
is returning to Hawaii tomorrow
after weeks stay here, during which
he attended the Republican territorial
convention. Mr.. Holstein also called
on the governor, and while 1t is Ger.
tain they discussed the possibility
of a special session, the member from
Kohala regards his talk with the gov
ernor as confidential and will not give
out what the governor said.
But it is certain that Holstein goes
back to Hawaii without the expecta-
tion Of being called upon to return for
3 special session.
