one clump of grass. When the animals
had finally moved out Of range the
SINNERS would come up. They would
cut the hide in the ordinary way for
skinning, tie the animals head to a
stake, hitch team of horses to the
hide and jerk it off.
mo one will ever know the immense
number of biSons that were killed by
these hide hunters but to my certain
knowledge 5000 600 hides were shipped
from the banks of the Frenchman river
In one season. The hide hunters, by a
system of fires, kept the bison from
the streams until many of them per-
ished and thousands Of others were
easily killed At the close of the winter
man could travel along the banks
of the Frenchman river for so miles
by simply jumping from one carcass
to another. Considering facts Of this
kind it is not surprising that few
old circus animals and a small tame
herd are all that is left TO represent
the great herds which less than a
quarter Of a century ago darkened the
prairies as clouds darken the sky"

when the Montana Post, newspaper
published at Virginia City, advised the
Vigilantes in the various camps either
to disband or to expel from their ranks
every unworthy member.
Practical disarmament Of the various

What TO do with the II,00O hungry
elk Ia the northern Yellowstone
park herd Is a puxxling problem
the national park service would like
TO solve quickly. Here's the diff
Guilty, ns explained by Victor III.
CahaIane, acting chief OF the wild
life section Of the park service:
From II 900 TO 1900 elk are grazing
in Gallatin and Absaroka national
forests north of the park We'd like
TO let the herd keep on growing. But
the winter range within the preserves
win carry roughly, only about 1000
animals. Another mild winter is IN
prospect. This viii mean the elk won't
leave the protected areas. If they don't
leave, there won't be enough food for
all OF them"
Cahalane said that in 1885, when the
problem became acute, the park service
invited Montana officials. the forest
service and conservation organizations
to make suggestions.
Trimming Needed
They all agreed, except for a small
but vociferous minority Of hunters, that
The herd would have to be trimmed"
Cahalane said.
First we offered to trap live elk and
give them to ZOOS. Then we Offered live
care for them. The Crows near Billings
took few hundred. But we fell far
short of making the needed reduction.
$50 in 1885, some OF the elk were
driven out of the protected areas. Mon
ANA established a special elk hunting
season in certain sections. A lot OF
hunters shot elk. But still the herd was
far too big for the winter ranges car
-ying capacity.
Il asst wear, several hundred animals
we're killed within the preserves. The
meat was distributed to Montana,
and Colorado relief agencies
20 be given to the needy. Only a few
,arcaSSeS of animals whose flesh was
lit for nothing else were given to the
bureau of fisheries to be fed to fish.
Double Size Wanted
This year, we're right back where
re started-with a herd nearly double
iZe the range warrants. We have made
10 plans to kill any elk inside the pre-
;erve boundaries. Maybe Montana Of
icials can suggest solution.
Cahalane said he had not heard OF
my plan for an investigation into the
program already carried out to trim the
nerd. Rep. James F. O'Connor, Living
ton, Mont, said he knew Of no pending
inquiry.
Cahalane said about $4,000 remains
n the federal treasury of the $4,000
appropriated by congress to buy land
o enlarge the national forests and thus
,rovide more range for the elk.
This amount" Cahalane said, would
lot begin to buy the 100000 acres, pur-
.hases Of which congress authorized"
