Typical was a let ter from an Oregon lady who declared: "The cruel and inhuman treat ment these horses receive at the hands of truck-riding cowboys who hunt them to sell to canner ies, should not be tolerated by a civilized country like ours." Suggests Refuge. Mrs. Bettie L. Cary of Eugene -ent on to suggest a wild horse rafuge "to shelter the remnants the whole issue was stirred up by a "misleading editorial" in the magazine "Dumb Animals" entitled "wild horses doomed," which he said was full of distor tions and misstatements and ca pable of stirring horror in any animal lover who reads it. Admitting there are bands of horses running wild in Oregon, Montana. Colorado. Utah, Ari zona, Nevada and Wyoming, Leffier maintained that they are not wild descendents of the Span ish horses brought by early ex plorers. They are mostly saddle or work horses which roamed away or were turned out to fend for themselves. Even the wildest are second-generation do mestic horses, he claimed. Death Toll Saddening Although the 'death toll from winter starvation is enormous, and saddening," Leffler said, the horses are generally elusive to ILLINOIS VALLEY Club Elects New Officers By HELEN BOTTEL Cave Junction The Illin ois Valley High school hospital ity club, an honorary organiza tion, has elected 1957-58 offic ers.

"They are extremely dif ficult to trap even on level ground. They prefer rocky slopes wiiere torturous terrain foils the hunter on horseback. A hunter using a truck has even less a chance." "At one time there were so many wild horses on the public ranges that they were destroy ing a great deal of forage," re called Leffler. "Forage-eating animals necessarily had to be limited to some degree, lest the ranges be laid waste. The horse bands could not be restricted by range licensing as are domestic animals, nor could they be con trolled by hunting as are game animals. The horses had to be gathered to preserve the range and gurantee a continued food supply for all forms of animal life. Incidentally, the gathering of horses has been largely con trolled by local, county and state laws, not subject to federal reg ulation of any sort." Responsibility Taking responsibility for wild horse refuges is a gift nag Lef fler looked square in the teeth. It would have to cover thou sands upon thousands of square miles, he observed, because mi gratory horses are so far-roaming. They might be here today, 50 miles away tomorrow and 50 miles further on the next day. On the vast wildlife refuge system of the West, a few horses are found from time to time. "If the day ever comes when extinction threatens them, meas ures will have to be taken to pre serve the species," he declared. "We are unable to see any such need. As long as there is open range left, the horses will be with us. They are too wary to be wiped out with ease." Leffler agrees that the present situation isn't what it should be, but he sizes it up like this: "The real cruelty is not the gathering of horses, but the abandoning of them, leaving them to starve in winter."
