In the Heart of the Big Game Country Walter Knollenberg Writes of the Wonderful West At a place Not Desecrated by the Symbols of Civilization.

Walter Knollenberg, of this city who has been making a trip through the west baa written a most entertaining description of that wonderful country. Hla account, sent from Jackson, "Wyo., follows. 1Y WALTER KNOLLENBERG. Jackson, Wyo., April 18, 11)10. Daer Home Folks: I am now in the heart of the big game country of Wyoming and in fact it Is the finest tract of wilderness left in the United States. This is a region entirely surrounded by high mountains. It is situated directly south of the Yellowstone park and roughly estimated, is about 125 miles square, not including the park. No railroads, telegraph lines or roads worthy of the name, despoil this pristine country, and for six months of the year it is accessible . only ih rough one pass this one I traveled over on the U. S. mail stage. You know, Uncle Sam takes the malls any place and this is one of the places that causes him expense and trouble. I'll describe as well as possible my trip from the railroad point, St. Anthony, Idaho, to this beautiful mountain fastness, the 'last stronghold and refuge of the mighty herds of America's noblest game animal, the elk. The first day out from the railroad, we , drove across the vast level and sometimes rolling sage plains of western Idaho, now being rapidly developed into farms by sturdy settlers from Iowa, Nebraska and other middle western states. But all day long the Three Tetons Bnow-capped and majestic, were in, view and beyond these , lay the land of mystery, the land of my heart's desire. Just as the sun was setting, seemingly sinking into the sage plains west of us and as the snow mountains to the east were red with the last rays of the passing day. the road "dropped" over a small divide into a beautiful irrigated valley lying at the very foot of the Teton range of mountains. It was a Mormon settlement of the better class, and a more hospitable and honorable people do not live, although Catarrh Germs Move Out When Hyomei Moves In. No stomach dosing. Hyomei Is made chiefly of oil of eucalyptus and eucalytol taken from the eucalyptus forests of inland Australia; and combined with the excellent antiseptics employed In the Llsterlan system. . In Inland Australia the atmosphere- is so Impregnated with, balsam thrown out by the eucalyptus trees that germs cannot live, and in consequence catarrh and consumption are unknown. Breathe Hyomei and get the same pleasant germ killing air as you would get In the eucalyptus forests. Hyomei Is sold by all druggists eve rywhere and by Leo H. Fine at $1.00 a complete outfit. An outfit consists of a bottle of Hyomei, a hard rubber pocket Inhaler and full Instructions for usee. The Inhaler lasts a lifetime, but If yoa need another bottle of Hyomei you can get It at druggists for only 60c at any time. Guaranteed to cure catarrh, croop and throat trouble or money back.

their religion can not help but prejudice one against them. The night was spent in a clean home hotel, and next morning at six o'clock we were off for Jackson beyond the mountains over the great divide. A mile or two the road took us between the newly plowed fields of the Mormon settlers and then began the climb up toward the pass. After about ten miles of uphill travel by wagon, we reached the snow line and here we transferred our load of mail, baggage and ourselves to a good strong sleigh. For a mile ; the line of advancing spring had thawed out the road, but soon we got Into the deep, almost eternal snows of the high altitudes. One

horse slipped off the road into a deep drift utterly helpless, but we unhitched j the other horse and pulled him out, then on again. , Even in this wintry region were numerous signs of spring. Scores of squirrels were cleaning the remains of pine cones out of their dens in the great pine trees or 'chasing each other over the snow chattering gleefully; for spring had come. Bluebirds, magpies, larks and the. gorgeous Rocky Mountain blue jays called and sang in the gloomy pine forests and here and there pale little butterflies ventured out over the snow from their snug cocoons. Finally the summit of the pass was reached and then, for the first time I looked into the mountain guarded valley know as Jackson's Hole. A great level basin it is, with a goodly number of small cattle ranches nestled in it But, unlike other sections of the west, the wire fence is absent and instead the ranchers build log fences around their hay fields. These permit the agile elk, deer and antelope perfect freedom, but turn the clumsy cattle easily. And the people of this region! Up to this year, there has been practically no Immigration to this valley, so the people here are the old timers, hospitable, generous, honorable and proud, proud of their valley, proud of themselves and proud of the game herds that still find a refuge from the sordid, grasp ing new element that is taking the ro mance, beauty and freshness out of the "old West." But I have gotten ahead of my story. We were on the summit; so now begins the fastest, most exciting and thrilling sleigh ride I ever enjoyed. Down the mountain we went at a 2:40 clip, the driver in front, a lady passenger (a fine old western woman she was, who lost a brother in an Indian fight in southern Wyoming in 1876, and has had a big share of sorrows and hard ships on the frontier, but proud of it) in the middle of the sleigh and I on the back end of the sleigh, to balance the load. At two places, snow slides had blocked the road, but with shovel and ax, we soon cleared a passage and whoop and away we dashed or dropped again. After ten miles of this snow travel, we once more reached terra firma and transferred the load to wagon and soon reached Jackson, 85 miles from the railroad. It's an odd little town, has a good, well kept hotel and about twenty-five residences, mostly log. Now, In regard to the ellc herds. This Is the natural winter range for them. Late In the fall, the snow drives them in small scattering bands from the mountains. The come from the Shoshone, the Teton, the Wind River and the Oros Ventre ranges and collect in a great band in this valley. As the snow melts from the lowlands, they follow the snow line back Into the mountains, for following the snow is the tender green grass that puts life and strength into these noble creatures to battle for existence through

the long desperate winter that is to come again. Each winter, hundreds of elk die of starvation and many streams are putrid with their decaying carcasses. I have counted dozens of elk along the streams where they have come in the last stages of starvation to eat willows and cottonwood. However, the old time settlers have done nobly and have fed great numbers of elk from their hay stacks, y But the elk range is overcrowded and this awful suffering must cease.

If the legislature of Wyoming or the United States government does not make provision for a good supply of winter feed for these animals, nature will thin out the ranks by disease and starvation. ' . As other sections surrounding this Jackson Hole country are being settied, the elk that formerly ranged there are seeking this refuge and this, to some extent causes the overcrowding. Also the stringent game laws protect the game too much from hunters, consequently more actually die of starvation than are killed by hunters. As I write this letter at the cabin of an "ol dtimer," a few miles down the valley, from Jackson, I can see over 50 head of elk quietly grazing on a nearby mountain side, perhaps of a mile distant In fact I have become so accustomed to seeing elk in bands from fifteen to fifty that they scarcely attract my special attention as they did the first 'day or two I was here. In a very short time now, I am going up on the Gros Nentre river with a ranchman and he promises me I will easily see 1,000 elk in a two or three days ride through that coutnry with him. But the outside world of just common farmers has finally found the valley. Four Iowa men are here today buying land and more are coming, and there is even talk of a railroad in the next five yeals. So, the old regime disappears with its beauty and primitiveness and the ugliness of the new West will soon overwhelm this delightful retreat. I'm glad I haye been fortunate enough to have seen this country before it is despoiled. I will stay here awhile as I have an opportunity to see a lot of the country at no expense, and will get a good, first class coat of western tan. A ranchman, whom I mentioned in my last letter has a claim up the country and he is going to go up and work it awhile. As he keeps a pack of hunting dogs (two that Roosevelt hunted with in Colorado), he also intends to take his annual spring bear hunt and wants a partner in this "Rooseveltian" enterprise, so, you see, I've struck it fine. There is a New York millionaire's son living with an old trapper near Jackson. However, his folks are glad to keep him out here, as they would rather have him drunk in Wyoming than drunk at home. I saw him today in the postoffice, but have forgotten his name. The preacher here wears a clerical suit and a cowboy hat and smokes cigarettes. There is no jail here. Saw a grand fight between two old drunken fellows the other day, The onlookers parted the fighters and put them to bed to sober up. But then the majority of the peo ple are the finest kind, and I just men tion these things to show you that this is not just like the effete east, or even Wayne, Wet and Wobbly, although the same things might occur at home, but hardly without attracting attention. Please pardon these awful "out bursts" of poetry and sentiment. Had to get it out of my system. Write soon. Hannah: Nothing1 better for the boys than brad from Gold Medal Flour. . Rebecca.

"TAG DAY" PLANS : ARE BEING MADE

Money to be Raised is for the Benefit of Children's Home Society. HELD SATURDAY, MAY 28 MISS LOUISE TIMMONS, WHO IS HERE REPRESENTING THE SOCIETY, STATES SHE IS BEING ENCOURAGED. Miss Louise Timmons of Indianap olis, representing the Children's home society, who Is in town arranging for "Tag Day" for the benefit of the organization and which will be observed here on Saturday, May 28, states that she is meeting with much enthusiasm for the work of the society, and that she has received much encouragement from both the business men and from local organizations. - As stated here last week the child ren's home society has been operating in Indiana for the past seventeen years ror the purpose of finding homes for; homeless children, and has placed such children during that time, to the num ber of fourteen hundred. The work of the society is constantly enlarging. During the past year 240 children, were received by the society and 211 placed and replaced. Larger Home is Needed. With the enlarged work, it has become necessary to have a better and larger home for the children while waiting for placement. The old receiving home at Westfield, is still in use, but a new home has been purchased at Hadley, Ind. This new place was formerly owned by the W. C. T. U. and used as a girls industrial school. With some substantial and commodious buildings, there are ICO acres of farm land. The new home is fine for the use intended, but much in need of modern conveniences. Tt is the purpose of the society to provide these. The society has certainly taken advantage of a great opportunity in purchasing this property. The buildings originally cast about $30,000, and the price to be paid is $12,000. This must be raised by voluntary contributions brought about in different ways. In addition to the purchase money, $3,000 is needed for the equipment of the buildings and stocking and fitting up the farm. To aid in this, the society will have a "Tag Day" in this city on Saturday, May 28. On the 30th day of April, a "Tag Day" was had in Indianapolis which brought $2,340 into the treasury to aid In this work. NOTICE. Public sale of market stalls.
