A recent census shows that in this! 4,200 square miles of game sanctuary there are to-day no less than 3.000 elk, 20,000 mountain sheep, 10,000 rocky mountain goat, 5,000 assorted bears, 10,000 moose, 25,000 deer and 9,000 caribou,

Prior to the setting aside of Jasper as a game sanctiiary' there were very few moose in this area, since that time there has been
