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 2,2OO 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
the mountains in the winter in order
to obtain food have starved III large
numbers. Since 1909, winter feeding
has been provided by the state of
Wyoming and the federal government,
and recently congress appropriated
10000 for the purchase of 1000 acres
near Jackson, Wyo., where sufficient

late years the government has expert

about 100, which have been transferred
to 13 different states for the purpose
of restocking reservations. In this
way it is hoped that wild elk can be
retained in this country permanently.

with it's own trainer. 1t is asserted
that the lives of at least 5000 wounded

AS illustrative of what dogs can do
In warfare it is recorded that:
"A newly trained dog was brought
into a front line trench one night in
France and after shifting the air
awhile pointed Obstinately at a GER
tain point in the trench and could not
be induced to come away. His COM
panions declared that there must be
some Prussians near by, but the habi-
tual occupants of the trench ridiculed
the idea; the thing was impossible,
they said.
Suddenly a soldier asked whether
it was possible that the dog had struck
a listening post. Everyone knew that
there was one about somewhere, but
no one had ever been able to spot it.
The captain was skeptical, but or
dered fire rockets to be sent up, and
there, sure enough, were three Prus-
slams posted in a spot only dozen
yards or so off the trench.
