TO SAVE LARGE GAME A Question That Has Not Received , Sufficient Consideration. Harvatloa la Witter ! More Do traetlTe Than tke Gbbs of Kaat-er-May Large Animals . Pariah of Huftr, During the last few year many public-spirited men have realized the necessity for the preservation of big gmne, and numerous state and federal laws have consequently been pacsed w ith this object. In general this pur pose may be accomplished by two methods: (1) the protection of win ter and summer ranges for game; and (2) the regulation of the rlautrhter . und sale of game. The importance of " the preservation of natural game i-nges has usually been underestimat ed; but several attempts have been made to restrict the sale of game by hunters and to limit the number of ani mals which may be killed by the hunt er during a given season. The large , prices which are to be obtained for the! meat of big game, as well as for th skins, heads,, antlers and tusks, have made hunting very profitable to men who are thoroughly acquated with, the natural habitat of these animal, says E. V. Wilcox in the Forum. i .i Statistics cannot be obtained for ex actly determining the number of game killed by hunters as compared with the number dying of starvation on account of range. Death by. starvation, how- , ever, is apparently a more , serious problem than slaughter by hunters, whether legal or illegal. The evidence which can be obtained regarding the starvation of big game during winter is extensive nnd convincing. It is cnly neeecsnry to travel for a few days through any region in the western states where such animals are plentl- , fill to find oarcasses in considerable numbers. Some of the animals have evidently been killed for their tusks, but it is practically certain " that . a much larger number have died of starvation. . All hunters know how frequently elk and deer are found in a half rfarved condition in the midst of winter, especially when the snow is deep. It is easy for unscrupulous persons to slaughter them in such circumstances. They may then .take from the slaughtered animals such portions as they wish, leaving the rest upon the grotmd. It is impos sible, however, for any large propor tion of the game suffering in winter to be observed by hunters or set tlers. Travel is not possible during that senson except by means of Fiiowslioes; and sportsmen from the ; v.imcm MtiirB u re uui, as a rule, ue Minim ui iiiiueriruimr nie v pxiwnifl and hardship incidental to life in the woods nt such times. In order to call attention to the evtent , of the loss nf large game by stnrvntion, it may be well to cite n few instances which occurred at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. 'The num ber of starved elk which are actu ally found by settlers In that neigh borhood may be from 500 to 1,000 in n single season. Large numbers j of elk come down into the valley in Jackson Hole during the winter; but that district 13 only a small por tion of the winter range for game. Hundreds of men have testified that they have seen elk durinar the win ter in the last stages of starvation; nnd these men know,- from personal observation, that a large number of elk die every winter,' especially where the summer range of game has been too closely grazed by do.i ' mestlcated animals, and where, ' in consequence, the game has been driven down to lower altitudes early In the fall. Whenever, as is fre quently the case, carcasses are found huddled together in a sheltered spot where the available food material such as bark, twigs of trees and tall dead weeds has bean completely de voured, the evidence is overwhelming that the animals died of starvation. Where game are caught in a deep fall of snow and a crust is subse quently formed, it is evident that the difficulties of obtaining enough forage to maintain life are almost Insuperable. HEADQUARTERS F0R ICE. Itsrway la tfc. of to the Who! f" ". Few perhaps among the tourists who visit Norway for the pleasures of its scenery are aware that here they are at the headquarters of Eu rope's ice supply. To the mountain lakes of that country the continent looks for its ice. The ice is of the finest quality, for the lakes are of crystal-clear water, high up in the mountains, and are surrounded by very tall pines. The ice supply is con trolled by syndicates, says Youth's Companion. After baring been cut into great squares by plows, the blocks of ice are sent down the mountainside on slides. On the way they acquire amat ing velocity, and plunge into an in closed pond beyond which are the ice ships awaiting their frozen cargo. It sometimes happens that through, delay rin the starting of the vessel?, or the cutting of unusual quantities fro-n the lakes to supply exception al demands, the supply runs short. Then it is that ice becomes dear, and eren in winter-time is a luxury that must be indulged in sparingly, littt ice is lined in Etirop far less eam roonly than in America, and a de ficient supply does net occasion the sense of ios that it would ia this eountrr.
