100 ELK SLAIN
IN ONE FOREST
LEWIS AND CLARK RESERVE KILL
REPORTED UNUSUALLY LIGHT
THIS YEAR

1t is estimated that 100 head of elks
were killed during the past hunting
season on the Lewis and Clark forest,
while "a additional is a liberal esti-
mate of the number that were wounded
n will die In the hills. The number
of wounded is unusually large COM
pared with the total kill because OF
the dry weather and lack of snow that
made the tracking OF a wounde AMI
mai peculiarly difficult. according to
the report of Forest Supervisor VIII
liam Il. Lockhart.
OF the 100 killed, 70 were bulls, 81
COWS, and 81 calves, while 46 more were
bagged on the Gig river drainage in the
Flathead forest by hunters from the east
side of the Continental divide, and SIX
head were killed on the Blackfoot drain
age in the Missoula forest and packed out
through the Lewis and Clark forest.
The kill in the Lewis and Clark forest
from the Sun river elk herd has been as
follows during the past our years:
1925-637 head.
1926-218 head.
1927-316 head.
1928-160 head.
The light kill during the past season
Is due to the lack of snow and colo
weather which enabled the elks to re

elevations. Since the greater part Of the
summer range lies within the Sun river
game preserve, the hunters were unable
to reach the elk.
Conditions prevalent this season illus
trate very clearly the need for legislation
that will allow the game commission tc
extend the season If a kill is to be OBJ.
tanned that equals the annual increase
in the herd and its numbers held sta.
tionary until such time as additional
winter range can be provided that will
not be at the expense of stockmen living
adjacent to the forest.
1t is estimated that a kill of 500 elks
should have been obtained this year In
order to prevent an increase in the size
of the herd, concludes the report. Since
only 1874 were disposed of, including the
estimate of those mortally wounded. II
will be necessary to get q kill Of 1,05s
elks next fall in order to hold to the
proposed program of maintaining the
herd at 1920 head, the number esti.
mated to be ranging in the Sun rivel
drainage in March, 1928.

 These experts said that enc Carrier can conceal . million dollars' worth of gems on his person quite easily; that in six years only six seizures have been made of diamond smugglers by Government guards; that four of thes1 seizures were made by one guard.
