' ' THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS A Splendid Spot for a Govern ment Game Preserve. The Region Abound In Large Game Which Should Have the Protection of the Law Cruel Slaughter by " Pot Hunters. F. IV. Hawkins, a well-known moun tain climber and woodsman, lately re turned from Spokane from an expedi tion into the heart of the Olympic mountains. He was accompanied by 0:1c companion, made the trip with horses, and the only course laid and fol lowed was that already mapped out by the broad elk trails which intersect the country in every direction.' The trip was fruitful of a great many inter esting things, though it Mad no other object than to investigate the extent of the grazing country that lies back of the small range of mountains parallel ing in a way the coast line on the south side of the Straits of San Juan de Fuca. Mr. Hawkins is now firmly convinced that the government ought to at once set apart a large area of the Olympic mountains as a grand game reserve, for the protection of the big game on the coast, which is fast being extermin ated. There is no doubt that the Olym pic mountains are the greatest elk country in the union to-day, and up to the present time but little known to the big sportsmen of the country. Soon after leaving the lower levels of the Olympic mountains indications of big game begin to show up in a most wonderful manner. Broad trails, which are veritable highways, cross the lower mountains in almost every di reetion,leadiiig from plateau to plateau, from grass field to grass field, from valley to valley. These trails run along the mountain side and have been so much traveled that although they may be on a mountain side at an angle of 45 degrees they become almost flat from long tramping, and as solid as the hills themselves. These trails are two and three feet broad, and so readily trav eled that Mr. Hawkins and his com panion had no difficulty in following them on horseback 50 miles into the mountains. They are sometimes ob structed by fallen timber, but it is of a light kind, being above the regular forest belt, and a horse can easily sur mount it. One beauty of the country 1b that one cannot get off tlie trail. It is impossible to travel long through the country without falling in with one of these trails, and it always leads somewhere. These trails, or elk high ways, are as characteristic of the Olym pic mountains aa the mounds are in a prairie dog village. The elk country lies ahove uie coun try adapted to agriculture, and even above the forest belt, from which the merchantable timber is reduced. It is timbered, but the growth is that of the Alaska cedar, not large, as timber is considered in this country. ' For the very reason that to make of tills a great elk and game preserve would not interfere with nor curtail it her agricultural or timber interests in this state, it is urged that the gov ernment ought to set it apart as such. On top of these mountains, which reiich an elevation of 4,500 and 5,000 feet above the sea, are to be found great rena of bunoh grass hind several thou sands of acres in extent. 1 hesc are the great elk pnstures, to and from which nd the broiul paths referred to above. In renching this section Hawkins and his feltow wanderer went in from l'ort Angeles, but did not follow the govern ment trail, which strikes boldly bctobb lie mountain that come down close inion the const. They took the course somewhat east of the town, and did not go far till the Inst ranch was left be hind. They edged their way around the first mountains, and thereafter laid course towurd the Lillian river, a tributary of the Klwha. They had not the least difiiculty nfter leaving the set tlement In following the elk paths. I hey liuuh camp 43 or 50 miles in the interior, and every duy while out as- ended one or the other of the nearest mountains to explore the elk pasturage to lie found near t.he top. At night tlii-v n't iirned to camp, and the follow ing day took niiot.hr elevation. Mount Olympus, the senior grand of the peaks in the const range, stood out In Ma irrnnd magnificence a little southwest, while Mount Constance was In an a.1 moMt directly opixxtite direction, end almost or fjulte aa far toward the eaat. An area of several hundred miles In territory could w Included In a great irniiie iircwne In tlie center 01 uieae mountains, and thus protect and per petuate Indefinitely tlie noble game tluit is there to tie found. Vhe country, as a hole, can never lie put to other ue than possibly aa a grii.ing ground for isolated herds, and tbU Is Improluihle. As it ia at present, the laud la uiiaurteved publio domain, and it ia Mr. llawkin'a belief tlmt eon certel net ion ought to be taken tohave the government declare it a public re- MTve, and prvaerv the game.
