Automobile drivers are again warned to exercise greater caution

while touring through big game country. Collisions with deer or bear are

likely to result in considerable damage both to automobiles and occupants.

While an occasional deer is killed along every well-traveled highway during

the course of a year, one or two sections report an unusual toll. For in-

stance, a record of the amount of game killed by automobiles on a three and

one-half mile stretch of highway between Philipsburg and Sandy Ridge during

the period between September 1, 1930 and September l, 1931, indicates that

 
 
52 deer were killed and 16 slightly injured; I bear was wounded, and 196

rabbits and 6 grouse were killed. Other small birds and animals killed in-

cluded 1 flicker, 6 song sparrows and quite a number of other small unidenti-

fied birds, as well as numerous skunks, chipmunks, and 1 gray fox.
