Protecting Elk in Wyoming Plan by Senator Warren
Wyoming rancher W H H Miller credits Senator Warren with a plan to save elk from starvation and prevent crop damage. The scheme proposes a western Wyoming elk refuge area where the animals would be protected from feeding, yet occasionally moved to other ranges to maintain population balance amid heavy snows and shrinking habitats. A $2600 winter appropriation funded early experiments transporting elk to Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Washington, which succeeded in establishing new ranges under protection. Separately, the U.S. Army considers a new marching shoe allowing natural foot spread and reduced slipping.
