"McKenzie river is about the southern boundary of the timber wolves' range, but there are enough of them to endanger the existence of the few remaining elk. "I often wonder why deer and elk do not become extinct. In the Cas cades the fawns are borne down by wild eats and cougar, and the full grown animals by cougars and wolvei What the animals leave, htimant at tack during the open season." Mr. Shelton set about 25 traps for specimens for the soological depart ment, and secured other specimens from trappers. George H. Moody, a noted trapper, packer and guide of the McKenzie reeion. gave him valuable assistance. Beaver, which are pro tected at all seasons, are becoming fairly numerous along the McKenzie and its tributaries, Mr. Shelton says, hut otter have almost disappeared, and years of trapping have greatly reduced mink, marten, coon, civet cats, moun tain beaver, and wildcats. Of these fnrhcaring animals, however , Mr. Shelton returned with 50 specimens. The specimens are used for museum purposes and for the study of zoology. 150 ELK ALONG THE J'KENZIE RIVER Eugene.

Shelton, field worker and curator of the Uni versity of Oregon zoological museum, in the high cascades. Timber wolves are assailing the elk. "This band of elk with probably few nt the head of Horse creek, near Horse lake, were 'the only ones re ported to me on the trip," laid Mr. ' Canal Employe Must Pay Rent. 'Washington. March I. Under a presidential order effective today, em ployes of the rauatna . canal and Panama railroad will have to pay rent and buy their fuel and electric current after today. Heretofore they have been supplied free of cost. The change follows the creation of a permanent force of employe! for the operation of the canal In place of the floating labor used since the Unit ed States undertook construction of the waterway. The effect of today's order is to substantially diminish the comparatively bigli scale of. compen i.ation which marked the construction period. Where employe! have to live in certain designated quarters, one-half the rental will he remitted, and where quarters' compensation of army navy officers is not sufficient to cover the rent the difference will be remit ted. .
