The Yellowstone National park was es
tablished by .congress about tlilrty-flve
years ago for the enjoyment of the people
end as a refuge for wild life. At that time
elk r plentiful, though being driven
common center, but gradually tlie circle
has closed until today we have the prob
lem of providing an adequate winter
range.
The Yellowstone park contains nearly
3,000.000 acres, and the Wyoming state
game preere, J. mlng the park on tho
south, another W0.000, where all hunting
by Industrial development toward this
and grazing of domestic stock Is pro
hibited. This vast region contains ap
proximately 60.000 head of elk during the
summer season, but Its altitude of 8,000
to 9,000 feet and consequent great snow
fall forbids the elk -wintering there; and
as snow begins to accumulate they travel
to a lower country to the northeast cor
ner of the park. Into Montana, north of
the park Una, and to Jackson's Hole, Wyo.
Jackson's Hole, on Snake river, south
of and Joining tha Wyoming state gama
preserve, is a well-watered, fertile val
ley, about ten by forty miles in extent,
surrounded on all sides by snow-clad
mountains on whose precipitous sides and
rolling foothills grow nutritious grasses
and pine forests. Its 1.000 people have
home, schools, churches, stores, . roads
and bridge; ranches are connected by
telephone and there Is a daily mall serv
ice over the Teton mountains from tha
west, which during the winter Is the only
road to the outside world. Though the
elevation of the valley is a little more
than 6,000 feet, all kinds of small grain
grow to perfection; potatoes and alt hardy
vegetables do well, a great deal of, hay
Is put up, Including much timothy, and
alfalfa, and . the horses and cattle raised
compare favorably with any elsewhere.
Formerly many elk went south through
this valley during the late fall to winter,
some V Lower .Snake river, some flown
Green river to the Red desert, and many
went west over the Teton range Into
I4aho, but of late years all that country
has been settled and fenced up or eaten
off by sheep, so that the elk are restricted
to this valley. ,'
Present Situation. ,
.The present situation Is, therefore, . that
whereas during the summer the elk have a
protected range of about seventy acres per
capita. In Winter their range affords prob
ably less than an acre each; for on only a
comparatively small portion of the valley
are ellt able to winter, because of heavy
snowfall. Thouch the elk have suffered

of the nettlers, with grainflelds and hay
meadows Instead of former dry sage brush
flats, the country will support more elk
today than In the past. During tha winter
of 189. for instance, and during 1TO and
other later dates thousands died of starva
tion. These are trying times for the settler
who must sleep by his haystack during
the cold winter night to save the scanty
supply for his stock, and who may be
awakened during the night to find elk
standing over him feeding. When they are
starving hardly any kind of fence will stop
them; they roam at will over all the
ranches devouring everything In sight that
can be eaten even to willow brush one-half j
Inch in .diameter. In the winter of 11, the!
elk came down unusually early and had j
all the open range eaten off by January
1, being In a short time thereafter In starv
ing condition. So desperate was the situ
ation that the settlers for a period fed
twenty loads of hay dally to at least 80,000
starving animal, barely enough to keep
them alive; , and though the hay could
hardly be spared from the stock, the feed
ing was kept up till the greatest danger
was past. Even then the loss was great,
fully 75 per cent of the calves, together
with many old elk. dying. Last winter the
situation waa Just as alarming; the elk
were beginning to die at a fearful rate
when a tha set In; winter broke up one
month earlier than usual and saved them.
When Governor B. B. Brooks rode over
the valley early In March, 1910, the remain-)
Ing elk were safely on the road to the
park, but he saw dead ones lying around
the hay pens and scattered over the
meadows, and concluded that Jackson's
Hole wan not big enough to winter all the
elk. Some provision must be made for their
winter's maintenance, but where shall it
be?. Tha former winter range Is now oc
cupied by settlers and their herds, and It Is
not Just nor practicable to retard tha de
velopment of the country and tha upbuild
ing of prosperous communities for tho
game; but a solution should be sought and
found whereby the upbuilding of the coun
try can go on and the game be saved.
lonirtn Appealed To.
Two years ago the Wyoming legislature
passed, a memorial to congress asking for
a winter refuge for elk on the'Oroa Ven
tre river, tributary of Snake river Into
Jackson's Hole from the east. This country
Is so much higher than Jackson's .Hole
that during a hard winter It .would be Im
possible to keep them there. It would make
a good summer range, but to prohibit the
grazing of. stock and all hunting In that
country would make matters worse; be
sides there are 60,000 acres of good agricul
tural land open to homestead entry in
Jackson's Hole, and if the development
and improvement of this valley Is to go on
he Gros Ventre country is needed aa a
ummer rang for stock.
The natural Increase from the 60.000 elk
upposed? t6 be In northwest Wyoming is
000 to 6.000 head yearly. About, J.ooo are
legitimately killed each year.
It has been suggested that the settlers
be driven out of Jackson's Hole and the
entire valley given the elk as a'wlnter re
sort. Suppose this were done and the val
ley made a portion of the Yellowstone Park,
and all hunting and graslng of domestic,
stock prohibited, the valley during an ordi
nary winter would support 20,000 head of
elk, which. If protected from hunters and
hard winters, would double In number
very, three yars.
