Well, then, how about add ing a full-grown lk to the ani mal menagerie? Take two they're cheap. The Cahtornia Fish and Came Commission is going to promote the use o( elk m the state's zoos. Some of the wags around the state capital in Sacramento en vision a newspaper ad that goes something like this: "Gilts: We find that we have too many elk feeding upon crops in two separate sections of Cali fornia. They are fleet-footed ani mals with trim shanks. Although they're inclined to be wild, a good high fence will take care of that. "Willing to give these elk away to any qualified zoo within the state of California. They're free. Take all you want. We'll even help you catch them, western style. "Bring along bedroll. May take some time. "Address replies to: California Fish and Game Commission. Sac ramento, California." It started at the regular July meeting of the commission hi Sacramento's Employment build ing, where the commission meets when in the state headquarters. Biologists of the Fish and Game Department, which is the work horse for the commission, had pro posed elk hunts in Owens Valley and in Humboldt County. Nothing unique about this. It's been done in Inyo County's Owens valley three times December 4 12. 1M3, December 2-11. 1H9 and December S-ll, 1955. In the last hunt 144 elk were taken, made up of 40 with antlers and 104 without The department proposed to take 104 elk in Inyo County and 100 in Humboldt County. The Inyo hunt would have been December 5-7 and the Humboldt hunt Decern ber S-I. Director William E. Warne said about the Inyo hunt that "the elk have been creating an increasing crop depredation problem and a demand for a killing permit has been made by Alan Jacobs of Big Pine to reduce damage on pasture land. He added that in 1SJ. the de partment and Owens Valley ranch ers, sportsmen and other inter ested organizations and agencies agreed to attempt to hold the elk population between 12S and J7S head and that public hunts would be held to make reductions. The Owens -Valley herd was counted on December 8-9 and the total was set at 252, but Warne said that by December there should be about 275 elk. About Humboldt County, the de partment said damage by elk was occurring primarily in the Orick and Big Lagoon areas. There was damage primarily to timber reproduction, but also to permanent pasture, and hay crops. The department estimated there were 250 elk m the Orick area and 300 In the proposed Big Lagoon hunt area. Landowners in the area asked for the hunt. But when these two proposed hunts came before the commision, the switch began. Commissioner Carl Wente of San Francisco first proposed the commission set a date for hearings in local areas on the hunts. Nobody seconded his motion. So that plan died a sudden death. Then. Wente proposed that the animals be captured and re located either in ether counties or in zoos. Tnat motion got a second and was on its way to adoption. A spokesman for the depart ment pointed out that the agency had tried before to get zoos to take the e'.k and "they did not want them." This did not help. The commtsson went ahead, anyway, and decided it did not want to kill the elk under the gun. Now, the problem is who wants tlieni? . tvJ ?!"- AMONG THOSE ENJOYING the annual breakfast ride of the Klamath Saddle Club were Mrs. Dale Mattoon, left., and Mrs. Dale Summers. The ride was held recently at tha Rafter MO Ranch, jointly owned by Dr. and Mrs. Poole and Bob Moisio. The ride drew a big crowd of members as well as guests from the Quota Club, the Sheriff's Posse, the Klamath Cow Belles and the Ridge Riders.
