SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking TO the Danger Of the

summer these elk range In the vicin,,y
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 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 1000 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 l3 different states for the purpose
of restocking reservations. In this
way It is hoped that wild elk can be
retained In this country permanently

CABLE IN USE
HALF CENTURY
Cyrus W. Fields Faith in Ocean
TeIegraphs Was Justified
in 1866.
EARLY PROJECTS FAILURES
since July 27, 1866. New World Has
Been In Continuous communiea-
tien With Old by Subma-
rine Cable.

New York.-It is a little more than
n half century since the completion of
the first permanent Atlantic telegraph,
observes the New York Evening World.
Since July q. 1866, the new world has
been in continuous and uninterrupted
communication with the old world by
means of the submarine cable. The
finnl success was achieved only after
several disheartening failures. AS
early rs 1S43 Prof. Samuel f. Il.
Morse suggested the possibility Of an
Atlantic telegraph line.
Just q decade later Cyrus w. Field.
n wealthy merchant, became interes. cd
in q plan for laying an underground
cable across Newfoundland and in the
following year, 1851. he secured the CO.
operation of Peter Cooper, Moses Tny-
lor and others In q scheme for trans
Atlantic cable. The manufacture Of
$500 miles of wire was completed In
1857 and the task of laying II was COM
menced at Valentla, Ireland, in August
OF that year, two American and two
British vessels being engaged. After
a few miles had been laid the cable
snapped. This was repaired, but after
800 miles Of wire had been put down
II snapped ngaln and the vessels re-
turned TO Plymouth.

Success Short Lived.

A storm caused the failure Of n
second attempt. but the third voyage,
In 1858, was successful, and the juno
ton between the two continents was
effected by 2,050 miles of wire stretch
Ing from the Irish coast TO Newfound-
land. Messages We're exchanged be-
tween Queen Victoria and President
Buchanan and there was great rejoic-
ing on both sides OF the ocean.
The jubilatlon proved premature
however, for In short time the cable
ceased to work and was branded fail
ure, The faith Of Field did not waver
and, although the Civil war prevented
IN early revival of the project, in 1865
n new company began the laying of
another cable. The famous vessel, the
Great Eastern. was dispatched to Ire
land with the wire, but again the
project ended In failure.
Mr.. Field then launched the Anglo
American Telegraph company, and In
July, 1860. the Great Eastern steamed
