Through the work of this committee
legislation has been Introduced Into

It ia believed. will go far toward pre
venting the annihilation of the species,
which now threatens.
Individual members of . the grand

the -Government is -better- able to carry
on- the work of protecting the' wild
elk than the order Itself. ' The grand
lodge has spent considerable money
and has given-- much- attention to this
work. '. Sentiment expressed -at grand

that the "forthcoming business
sessions will Issue an emphatic appeal
to all. members of the order to urge
their Representatives in Congress to
