Park WiIdIife Census
Having Good Results;
Snowshoeing Tough

Glacier national parks annua
wildlife census in progress since
Monday is resulting in more an.
imals being observed than Was
expected.
A. D. Cannavina, assistant chief
ranger in charge of forestry and
wildlife, reported late Thursday
that more elk have been counted
by ski and snowshoe patrols than
was indicated in February air
plane surveys of the park.
Animals are in fair condition
considering the severe winter,
though thin.
In better condition are the 125
elk seen in the Belly river coun-
try and those near st. Mary lake
both on the parks east side.
A virtual mobilization of park
employees rangers, naturalists,
clerks, mechanics and warehouse
men have been taking the census.
Snow shoeing and skiing are de-
scribed as difficult. The crust is
not quite strong enough to sup
port a man, and then the bottom
drops out.
Last thorough wildlife census
(1947) showed an estimated 1922
elk, 1858 white tail deer and 766
mule deer in Glacier. Mountain
sheep numbered 204; mountain
goats 866; moose 1T, and there
are about 400 black and 100 griz-
Fly bears, now alternating.
