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.

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.

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.
