MANY ELK DIED FROM
 THE COLD LAST WINTER

Yellowstone National Park tourists this year have had unusual opportun- ities to gather elk antlers, according to Salt Lake residents who have re- turned from the federal playground. The bleached horns of elk, which died last winter on the park ranges, are seen perched on radiators and front bumpers of many automobiles from the park. When polished the antlers, it is said, are restored to their natural brown color.
