The three elk which arrired at the
Speeding and Breeding Station yeo-
terday are a very rare aad valuable
addition to the collection ef animals
that is being made here for the es
tablishment of a zoological park for
the pleasure of College people. Col

Other shipments of elk are to fol
low these and ertontual|y' Mite a
hefd 'will he coHfceted. A number
kwfll also be consigned t<» Hie College
aad shipped to the Substation No. 14
at Sonora. Texas, to be herded in the
pastures there. The conditions of
the rough broken Country there arc
very similar to the native haunts of
thfs elk in the Northern tahatee from
whence they are being shipped and
they are expected to thrive well.
Which will mean that in time a large
herd wtll be raised •thglb.j ahis M
one of the aims of the National Park
Commission in sending the animats
this far south. Becatase of the sever
ity of the northern winters the ani
mals are migrating south, depredat
ing on the pastures and cultivate 1
fields of the farmers ami cattle rais
ers inhabiting the districts visited by
them, and as a consequence the ani
mals have been killed in such great
numbers that those interested in the
preservation of the type have become
fearsome of their extinction and are
taking steps to place numbers of
them in districts eopdpcivaV to their
growth, and under the care of inter-
hated raisers.
For the present the three trhich
a rived yesterday will be kept at the
feeding and Breeding station where
they may be seen by those interested
in viewing them.
Chester A. Lindslay Superinten-i-
dent of the Yellowhtone National
Park in Wyoming was the consignor
of these three.
There are several other animals at
the Station, rare sight* in this sec
tion of the country which are to be
added to the *<>o. • \
There! is a female black bear safe
ly cage-1 in a den nearby. She was
present.-<1 to th« College by the City
Park Commission from their zoo at
MclIiapviQe. Oregon, secured •j
through the efforts of J. C. Cooper,
President of the Western Walnut
j Associatioa of that city, > who is a
personal friend, of* Director B.
Yeum-'bi-.od. He has promised to
| send a male baar of the same type
sometime next summer. The same
commission attempted to make a
gift of two deer but through their
untamed wildness they were both
killed While being crated for ship
ment. I 1 ' ' r '
In the pasture just north of the F.
