The correspondent says:
The conditions have changed to be
most unfavorable for the game heie
abouta and many are dying. This
has bean one of the most severe win
ters In IS years for this section, and
at present the elk find it Impossible
to get feed and are maddened with
hunger.
Fences no longer bar them away
from the haystacks, and for the past
week forest rangf-rs and ranchers
have been at work trying to keep
them away from the hay, but to no
nvall.
Ranger George Glover returned
Saturday from the ranch of George
Siiui n, where he had spent two days
trying to get the elk back In the hills,
und succeeded In moving about 100
away after a hard fight. In which he
found It necessary to kill one mad
cow leuder, which had charged on
him five times.
Smith came In yesterday and re'
ported that tho elk were all back and
that he could do nothing with them,
and that they had already worked ou
two of his stacks, and refused to be
moved away again.
He has about decided to feed them
and put In a claim to the state, for It
is a sure thing that they will die soon,
as they have been feeding now for
some time on willows and quaken
ash bark, and six weeks Is as long
as they can stand that food.
Game Warden Nowlin is absent
from Lander and It Is Impossible to
Bt in touch with him, and last eve
ning a telegram was sent to Gover
nor Brooks asking authority to pur
chase hay and hunch the elk for
feeding. As It now is, the elk are
in every meadow on Willow creek,
und scattered In bands of from to
to inn, cloar up to the Newfork
lakes. It is estimated that about 1,
000 elk are wintering In this locality.
Game Warden Joe Boulter came
up from Newfork today to look after
the game interests in response to a
call, and will be kept busy for some
time. He reports that about 5000
antelope out on the desert are dying
like sheep for want of feed.
The coyotes and wolves are also
placing havoc wltn them, and there
Is serious doubt that they will pull
through. Eilly Postel has announced
that he will take the risk of securing
h: pay from the state If the little
fellows are brought into his ranch
and fed.
There are about BOO in bands close
to Newfork and ranchers have gone
out to bring them in for feed. Chris
Brand, while driving on the Lander
trail the other day, had a band of
over SO follow his sled for two or
three miles.
Tbe authority is extreme, but there
Is no authority for expenditure for,
feed or care, and it is too big an un
dertaking for our people to raise
money for this purpose.

NO ROOM FOR MONEY.
Portland Bank Has No Room to Store
$12,000 In Silver.
The First National bank of Portland
. yesterday refused to accept some III,
000 In silver from the collector of
customs of this port for deposit on
the ground that It has already all the
silver it can handle, and that it costs
14 to ship each $1000 to the subtrees
ury at San Francisco, says the Oregon
Dally Journal. Chief Deputy Collector
Pike has wired the department In
Washington for instructions as to the
disposition of the .coin. An answer
Ih expected this afternoon.
Heretofore the collector of cus
toms forwarded his collections direct
to the subtreasury, but a few days ago
Instructions were received from the
chief of the department to deposit the
collections In the national banks here.
Monday about 190,000 was collected
end about 111,000 of the money turned
over to the banks was In sliver. The
gold was accepted but the sliver re
turned. President A. L. Mills, of the First
National bank says that the silver was
refused on the ground stated above,
as It would be impossible to find
space for it In the bank vaults at
present. He explained that some years
ago a law was passed providing free
transportation for sliver from the
treasury, but no provision was made
for Its return. Hence It Is up to some
one to pay the freight. In this In
stance the bank does not feel inclined
to do so.
