DEER and elk preserves may play an
Important part In reducing the
high cost of beef. According to gov-
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Deer
and elk can be raised readily In near- j
ly every state In the Union. They are !
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The Increase of elk under domestlca- }
tlon Is fully equal to that of cattle
The state and the government, j
through its Yellowstone park officials, j
have co-operated with individual j
ranchmen In caring for the vast herds j
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in [
Wyoming. It Is estimated that there j
are 30,000 elk In the Yellowstone park
region, constituting the only great j
herd left. For two or three winters {
these elk have been fed. and have now i
come to look tipcn the feeding as a
matter of courso, and State Gamo
Warden Nowlin of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last of the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesticated. Several
ranchmen In the Rocky mountain coun-
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the pri-
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left In the west.
Barret Llttlefleld. who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying zoological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market—so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest-
ern Colorado. J. It. Dawson, a Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
In nearly every state in tho Union
the killing of deer Is forbidden ex-
cepting in the fall and during a lim-
ited period. If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand Is there.

wild speculation in real estate that
took place f<;r a good many years after
the capital was laid out.
Private lands were acquired In
Washington, in the early days, by a
very simplo process. The territory
"not exceeding" ten miles square was
ceded to the United States govern-
ment by Maryland and Virginia anil
placed under the authority of three
commissioners, appointed by the presi-
dent. They or any two of them were
required, under the direction <Jf the
president, to survey and by proper
metes and bounds define and limit a
district of territory, and the territory
so defined was established as a perma-
nent seat of the government of the
United States. Power was given the
commissioners to purchase or accept
land on the eastern side of the Poto-
mac. for the use of the United States,
and the commissioners were further
required to provide suitable buildings
for the accommodation of congress,
the president and public officers of the
government of the United States. It
was to raise money to erect the pub-
lic buildings that the government
planned to sell its land to private par-
ties.

laid out than land speculators ap-

HOOKS OKLAHOMA
IN the present census the govern-
ment has made a great effort to ob-
tain, through special agents, full and
authentic data concerning the tribal
relations of the Indians, as a decade
hence when the fourteenth census will
be taken, it probably will be found
that those Indians who are now de-
pendent wards of the nation have be-
come full-fledged citizens.
The Indian population of the United
States decreased in the decade from
1890 to 1900, from 273,607 to 266,760.
In 1S80 the care of the Indians cost
the national government $5,206,109;
in 1909 the cost had risen to $15,-
724,162, more than three times 'as
much. The total attendance of In-
dian children in schools conducted hv
the government or by missionary en-
terprise is 25,777. In these schools
no effort is spared to teach the child
some industry by which he may sup-
port himself when he comes of age,
and the Indians are gradually learn-
ing to live by the sweat of the brow
upon the product of their own self-
respecting handiwork, rather than up-
on the bounty of the government.
The Apache Indians employed on
the Roosevelt reclamation project un-
der the act of June 17, 1902, earned
$34,000 in 1909, and rendered eminent-
ly satisfactory service in regions
where, on account of the heat, a white
man could not have labored. Sheep
herding has given profitable employ-
ment to many hundreds of Navajos
and Pueblos in the past year, and
Pima and Papago Indians, employed
as navvies on the Southern Pacific
railway, earned many thousands of
dollars. The Sioux farmers have dona
well, though they are deficient in tho
quality of persistent patience that
makes the most successful sort of ag-
ricultural laborer.
