LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
One evening a short time ago I
was driving down Wall Cr. going
to Blue Spruce camp. I thot I
heard voices. I stopped my car;
there facing Grassy Butte, on that
peaceful, beautiful mountain
side stood 2 does. As I sat there
admiring those proud animals, I
heard the voice again. The old
doe was talking to her 3 year
old daughter.
"I repeat. Our days are num
bered, 'S' days will soon be here
again, Oct. 17-1819-20th. 'S.
stands fur slaughter!
"Here on Wall Cr. they say by
actual count there are 43 more
of us than last year. But where
are they? They say we are dying
of malnutrition. We'll die of
lead poisoning like our sisters did

last year."
"Mother, what has range man
agement done for us the past 25
years?"
"S." days daughter."
"S." stands for slaughter. Open
season following 2 of the most
severe winters I can remember!"
"But darling there is a possi
bility of our survival. If we can
make it out to deeded range. Per
haps your sweet juicy hams won't
grace trie dinner table or some
Portland man after all, and I
won't be left to rot. Time is
short dear, we must start. You
are my last, but where are my
grand off-springs, you have given
me none."
As I raised my handkerchief to
wipe away the tears, that smart
old doe saw the movement and
dashed away up the canyon, with
daughter close beside. The voice
that drifted back to me was say
ing. "S." stands for Slaughter."
"S.' stands for Slaughter."
I sat there too amazed to move
Dear God, don't let it happen.
Look down upon our beautiful
mountains and do all within your
power to prevent this slaughter
of our wild life. Dear God and
Havlour, don't let your proud
magnificient deer became as the
game birds and fish have, to be
transported in. We have suffi
cient if properly preserved. Amen.
