Elk Present Problem.

THE Biological Survey desires to keep
the jackson Hole elk herd in its
natural wild state and TO this end must
solve two problems.
One is the problem Of providing a
suitable Winter range and the other
the problem Of keeping the herd lin
tied.
The second problem is easily solved
for limited hunting permits and the
transfer of the excess animals to other
game preserves would maintain q con-
slant level of about 10000 head in
the jackson Hole section.
The problem of a Winter range
however, is more difficult. In order to
meet the problem, the survey would
like to purchase some privately owned
grazing land connecting the jackson
Hole section and the Gros Ventre and
Snake River sections to the North.
There has been considerable COM
plant from ranchers about the effects
Of the elk migration over their land
Acquiring Of the $4,000 to $4,000 acres
should answer their complaints.

Of hundreds Of parts is claimed and

Lower maintenance costs also are
claimed because Of use Of fewer parts

Since the mechanlcaI conultI0H OF
the modern car bears such close re-
lation to its safe handling. there is
every reason why modern owners
should have some idea of where they
are going when they lift the hood. To
go along for several days without the
generator charging. and without know
ing how the ammeter tells this, is just
so much borrowed trouble. Ignoring
signs of a slipping clutch is a short
cut to being stranded, while failure to

Of suicide.

To say that Miss Gahi-Campi Is
