More-is Worth More BOAD INS EI SHOULD E l mm The editor of this paper has had his attention called a good many times of late to the fact that drivers cf automobiles are not careful to ob serve the rules as laid down by the road laws of Oregon governing such vehicles on the public highways. That the laws and rules are not more strictly observed Is no doubt on ac count 'of a lack of knowledge as to what they are. We this week re ceived the following communication which we are glad to publish, and in compliance with the request therein made, we are publishing such por tions of the road laws as have been made to govern the rights of vehicles on the roads. This is such Informa tion as all owners of vehicles should have and keep in their possession. Heppner, Oregon, July 6, 1914. To the Editor: As Heppner and Morrow county are now fast passing from the long used method of travel by the horse drawn vehicle, and gasoline motive power is being substituted, it would be well for the traveling public to begin to respect the rights of others and also to study the rights of the road as laid down by the road laws of Oregon. "SAFETY FIRST" In big letters should be the motto in Hepp ner, as I see advocated in Portland and other places, and the rights of pedestrians and occupants of all horse-drawn vehicles should be duly respected. For this reason I would respectfully ask that you print that part of the road laws that appertains to this subject, tor the perusal of all parties that are unaware, or careless of the existing statutes. Yours truly, AN OBSERVER. IlishtH of the Honil. Section 6332. Meeting Vehicles to j ui ii to me ttigiu.

Smead & Heppner, ELK RESERVEIff MONTANA At the approaching grand lodge meeting of the Benevolent and Pro tective Order of. Elks at Denver, July 13-19, it will be practically decided whether Montana la to have a nation al elk preserve, a movement orignat ed by Deputy Game Warden Peter W. Nelson of Livingston, and which has spread all over Montana and is being considered by every lodge of Elks in the United States. A committe consisting of Deputy Nelson, M. R. Wilson of Bozeman and Ronald Higglns of Missoula was ap pointed at the last convention of Montana Elks at Missoula to inves tigate the proposed site of the pre serve. The report will be favorable and will urge that the site be select ed. The purpose of the preserve is to provide a place where the animals may pass the severe winters of the higher altitudes on the Yellowstone park boundaries on the north, and find not only plenty of shelter but ample food. While the winter of 1913-14 was mild previous ones in that region claimed hundreds of elk by starvation and exposure. The idea is solely a humane one. In the proposed preserve there are approximately 1400 acres, located in Park county, a couple of sections of railroad land and a section of gov ernment land which has been taken off the market by option pending final action ot the Elks grand lodge. Dealer in Wood & Coal Leave Orders.at Slocum Drug Co. Phone Main GO 8cto 10c 12 l-3jsto l8c Phone B 2721 OREGON Crawford Oregon It Is stated that the preserve may be procured for $50,000. The plan is to assess all members of Elk lodges 25 cents, by which method $125,000 can be raised. Allowing $50,000 for purchase thero will be a remainder of $75,000, and the plan is to place this at interest, the income derived to be used in maintaining the preserve. It is estimated that 1000 tons of hay may be grown on the preserve sufficient to keep between 2000 and 3000 elk each winter. The proposed preserve Is situated on the boundary line of the park, between Electric and Gardiner, on the branch line of the Northern Pacific Railway company. No other place in the world is so adapted for an elk preserve as the Park county site, because to ha,ve an elk preserve one in which the ani mals can be seen in their native heath it is essential that there be elk close by. In the Yellowstone park there are thousands of head, and each winter the heavy snows drive them from the Interior when they can no longer find food. The elk tjavel in bands of hundreds to the line of the northern boundary of the park, where they search for food. As the elk Cross the boundaries in the early winter there is an army ot hunters stationed Just outside the protected limits of the park and the slaughter has been enormous. The hunting of elk during tMs time is much the same as a man pointing a rifle at a bunch of cattle and pulling the trigger. An elk falls, but before the hunter reaches the spot he real izes the difficulty of picking out the particular animal he shot, and not in frequently gets an elk killed by an other man.
