Over 687,000 head of big game
animals make their home on Uncle
Sam's National' Forests. This ts the
estimate, tor ) 9 24, made by the for
strangprs of the II. S. Forest Sr
vlce.. Ot course, there may be (87,
. OSt-r the rangers didn't count them,
u ibese., men. are out In the hills
and. their' estimate is a little better
than, anyone else's.
Compared with the previous year,
the .124 figures show an increase
of about 44,000 head after dne al
lowance Is made for 44,326 head of
bear which were, not Included in the
estimates of former years but which
are Included in the 1924 estimates.
' forest. .Service officials explain
that this Increase may be caused by
the , fact that 1921 was a very dry
yea in the West and that the
drought conditions resulted in an
nnuaual concentration of gams ani
mals, around watering places which
enabled the forest rangers to make
cloaer stlmatea .than any of former
ars. Only animals using National
forest range for practically the en
tire year are. included in the .estl
- tnaUa and that no account was taken
ot, animals .which graze, mostly, on
adjacent Federal lands or on privately-owned
area..., ,
Figures -tor the National Forests
Uone of Oregon are 6,000 bear, 60,
000 deer' (all kinds), 3000 elk, 30
' jntmntain sheep and S0 antelope..
For National Forest areas in the
Btate of Washington the estimates
Show 6500 bear, 20,000 deer, 8,000
elk, 26 mountain sheep and 2,000
Jnountaln goats. - !-' : t 1
; A'Numb'of Deer Increasing -
Deer represent the vast bulk .of
the big game animals with a total
lor 1924 ot. 550,667-'compared with
611,238 last year. An analysts of
the. figures shows that except in a
few National Forests located In Cali
fornia deer' show a nniform increase.
These few exceptions; -say forestry
pfficlals, may be the "result of closer
estimates rather -than any. real .de
crease In number.'
The five' States credited with the
largest number of deer are, in the
order of their rank, California, Ore-
goo, Montana, Idaho, and Arizona.
Alaska, also, is credited with about
the. name number 50,000 bead as
the . two last named States. More
than half of the deer listed on the
National Forests in Arizona are on
the Katbab Forest : Efforts are still
being made to reduce this Kaibab
herd since the amount of forage
available is insufficient to support it.
Bears Included In Estimates
In the' 1924 estimates bears were
Included as game rather than as pre'
datory animals, the figures showing
44,326 head on the 159 National
Foreeta. Of this total 38.703 were
of the black and brown varieties,
the balance of 6,624 being grizzlies.
Nearly all grizzlies listed were found
cm the two National Forests In Alas
ka alone. Montana is the only State
Id ..which the forest rangers were
able to find more than a scattering
law of this time-honored bear.
Elk have, increased In ail western
forests, 63,665 head being listed for
1934 Compared with 49,540 in 1923.
On the Teton National Forest bor
dering the Yellowstone National
Jark the . elk herd has shown a
notable Increase because of three ex
cellent 1 seasons with mild winters
and. satisfactory summers. Forest
Service officials are again facing the
qneation of keeping this herd down
to a number that can be supported
by the available forage, . ,
Antelope Herds Are Scarce
Antelope, or pronghorns, are still
fn a very unsatisfactory condition.
The 1924 count, shows only 6,071
of these animals, most of which are
to be found in the National Forests
of Arizona, and Idaho. In north
western . and southwestern Oregon
there Is a large antelope herd graz
ing .on public lands outside the Na
tional forest areas. .
The number of moose found in
1924 shown a 1 compared with
1933, only 5.106 head of these magnificent-animals
being shown last
year compared with 8,000 in 1923.
However, It is explained that this
jdecrease is caused by more accurate
jstftlmates. The number ot mountain
beep and mountain goats on the
National Forests Is given as 12,433
bad 17,344, respectively, a slight in
crease over 1923. Buffaloes were
dropped out of the 1924 estimates
ns these animals are now only to
J f ound In protected herds.

Brady Puts One
Over on Puckett
in Big Dog Deal
Secures Reversible Dog
for Song; Sells Him,
for Big Figure
News of a 'clever deal whereby
Brady Montgomery put one over
on Prentiss Puckett leaked out
here last week. It seems that some
ten days ago Puckett caught what
ho thought to bo a young coyote
pup on the way down from Lobe"1,
siding and brought it to town.
Thinking the animal to be ot no
value. Puckett gave it to .Mont
gomery, who eagerly accepted the
gift, believing the beast to he a
lluoal descendant of Paul Bunyan's
famous reversible dog, Sport..
As sooa as he had the pup in
his possession. Brady hunted up
a salesman far the Brunswick-
Balke-Collender 'company, whom he
knew to be a fancier ot flue dogs,
and declared that he had a descend
ant of the Illustrious Sport.
The salesman was incredulous at
first, but when Montgomery led
the pup south, and then turned
hi maround and led him in the
opposite direction with equal ease,
the skeptical salesman was con
vinced that the dog was Indeed ot
the far-famed reversible variety, j
and purchased him at once. '
The consideration was not made
public, but it is understood that it
extended into twelve figures. (On
the right hand side ot the decimal
point.) ..'
MILLING AROUND
Speaking nf saying the right
thlug, a buyer of oil iu tho north
field discovered one day that tho
man who had promised to sell his
production had without ' notice
sold It to someono el.se. He sat
down and wrote:
"Sir My typist,, being a lady
can not tuko down what I think of
you. 1, being a gentleman, can not
write it. You, being neither, can
guess it all."
This isn't exactly the way we
heard It, but this version will do:
A Scotchman thought that the
best method of Saving money for
"hristmas was to put a penny iu a
money-box every time he kissed his

This ho did regularly until the
holiday period came round. Then
he opeued the box, and out came
not only pennies, but sixpence.
shillings and halt crowns.
The man was amazed, and asked
his wife how she accounted for it.
"YVeel, . Jock," she replied, "It's
no I very mon that's as stingy as
your are!"
