Antelope Threatened
with Extinction in i. S,

Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. Sept.
21.-The American antelope is threat
ened with extinction, according to
officials here of the department of
the interior. Unless extensive pro-
tective mea sures are taken, officials
declared, an animal widely admired
for its coloring, delicate proportions
and zephyr-like movements, soon
will be seen only in museums.
There are probably not more than
5000 antelope remaining in the Unit
ed States, according to a statement,
and the total number in the park is
about $50. In 1908 the number was
estimated as 1000.
The cause or the antelope has been
taken up by the American Bison So
ciety of New York. A number Of
societies interested in game preser-
walton will meet jointly in the east
soon to consider a program to pro-
tect antelope. Proposed measures in
clude provision for an adequate win

for herdS remaining in Oregon, Ne

marks which are visible to fiiers at
some height and easily recognized,
are shown. These include, islands,
towns, lighthouses, rivers and easily
distinguished inlets. A compass
course is laid out on the chart in a
direct line between the two points,
which, in this instance is feasible, al
though it is recognized that such a
course is not always practicable
Along with that course is laid out q
supplementary course which deviates
from the compass course only a few
miles and which follows the better
terrain.
Landing fields sufficient to provide
safe descent are shown. No attempt
is made to picture features of the
fields but towards the margins the
fields are delineated in larger scale.
The nature of the ground is shown,
together with the structures nearby,
points of danger, and general wind
direction. On the reverse side In

Yellowstone Park herds were lost as
q result of heavy SHOWS and the de-
predations of coyotes, wolves and
mountain lions. A part Of this loss
was made up by birth of the young
this spring.
The most serious menace to their
preservation here is the absence of
suitable winter range, according to
these officials. Besides running the
risk of starvation, owing to scant
forage if the SHOWS are deep, they
are easy prey for predatory animals.
The possible winter range for ante
lope here at present is about 5000
acres, which must be shared with the
deer, elk and other grazing animals.
The summer range covers about
100000 acres.
Park authorities will withdraw
part Of the summer range from tour
list use next season, as the presence
of tourists is said to keep the ner-
vous animals on the qui vive and to
interfere with breeding.
