ELKS SCARCE IN
NATIONAL PARK
Only Very Few Observed This
Winter-There Used to Be
Thousands of Them.

Have the majority of the elk in
Yellowstone Park died from natural
causes or been killed during the past
year, or are they hiding in some re-
treat deep in the mountains? This
question is worrying the forest offic-
ers of the Absaroka National Forest,
for on ranges where ordinarily
thousands of these animals could be
seen, only very few have been OBJ
served this winter.
Just why this is so no one seems to
know. One theory is that the open fall
and winter has caused the elk to re-
main back in the higher and more in
accessible portions of the park. Open
falls in the past however, have not
caused the elk to abandon their usual
customs or habits.
Whether the actual numbers now
comprising the Yellowstone band
have been greatly lowered during the
past year or not, say officials of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, it is at least true that the
shrinkage of the Yellowstone herd
during the past FIVE years has been
alarming In 1914, the Yellowstone
herd was estimated at about $4,000. In
1917 1880 were counted out and if
the figures for the present year. es-
timated by those in close touch with
the situation. are true, there remains
much less than half this number. In
1919, 5000 head were killed in the
Yellowstone band, the supervisor of
the Absaroka National Forest reports.
No herd of wild animals can sustain
an annual shrinkage in numbers which
the Yellowstone band has, for any
length of time, and not face complete
determination within few years.

SCARCITY OF QUAIL DUE
TO BY-GONE RAIL FENCE

Those who are deploring the scar
city of game birds in this region and
have been attributing the dearth OF
quail to various influences have over
looked one of the most important
reasons for the shrinkage.
The old fashioned rail fence, its
angles checked with briars and weeds
formed a natural winter refuge for
the birds. Snow might drift noun

FRANK DEKLOTZ RETURNS
FROM TRIP TO THE EAST

Frank Deklotz returned last
Thursday from Iowa where he has
spent the past two months on bust
ness. Commenting on financial
conditions, Mr.. Deklotz states that
Iowa is much harder hit than Idaho.
He says this is accounted for by the
Inflated land values existing there
last year. the result OF speculation,
and also because OF the exhorbitant
amount OF money paid out by Iowa
farmers on stock selling schemes.
This sum is reputed to total $780,

Large Wheat Exports

Washington, Sept. S.-Unprece-
dented' exports Of wheat during
August should react favorably on
agriculture and business condi-
tions throughout the country, Sec
retary Hoover declared today. Ac-
cording to his reports, wheat eX-
ports during the past month
amounted to 33,595,O00 bushels, or
about four times the volume Of any
pre-war figure for the month Of
August.
Increase in the movement Of
wheat, Mr. Hoover said, should
particularly ease the credit situa-
ton through lessened demand
upon the war finance corporation
for advances.
Recent advances in the price Of
cotton were regarded by Mr.. Hoov-
er as promising betterment OF
conditions in the south, provided
the increased levels are maintain
ed. If the price Of cotton stays
up. he declared, the south will not
need the credit relief which has
been sought and which the war
finance corporation has proposed
to give.

The Law and the Sccrcher.

Every, once in so often, a report
is bruited about to the effect that
some motorist has driven cross
country at an average rate of twen-
ty-five miles an hour, OR more. Ere
quently the motorist who has ac-
hieved the hurried journey by gas
oline motor accounts himself law
abiding citizen-a man who would
shrink from violating the law. This
is a reasonably humorous angle on
one phase Of scorching.
Nearly every school boy knows
that in order to set such cross
country mark by motor it is nee
essary to exceed the legal speed
limit much of the time. and if NOV
ing faster than the law permits is
not violation Of the statute as
made and provided, what is it?
When a motor vehicle is travelling
at a rate faster than twenty-five
miles an hour it cannot be stopped
at once and should a vehicle turn
out Of a lateral road. or an animal
stray out of the bushes an accident
is unavoidable.
The point of this is that the mo-
tor scorcher. however obedient he
may be to all other laws, is break
ing an important law for the more
eminent the citizen, the worse the
example he is setting. 1t is the fact
that violation of one law leads
readily to violation Of others, the
sum total of infractions making for
lawlessness. But the man who is
scorching on country roads is not
alone in violation Of the law, for
he is frequently breaking the rules
Of ordinary road courtesy.
1t would appear to be a propiti-
Gus season for good citizens to
watch their speedometers and not
wait for an alert rural policeman
to cite them to magistrates court.
The ultimate effect Of the example
set by good citizens would be influ-
entail on those persons to whom
laws mean nothing. SO long as they
escape punishment or other incon-
venience. Many motorists are fully
lava biding and they realize that
scorchers are earning trouble which
seems to be slow in overtaking
most Of them.-News and Courier.
