Roford 1954 Journal August 14, 1954 Moose, Wyoming Chris (Miranda) would be willing to help. Fantini told of an experiment station in Colorado where deer, under fence in different concentrations, are kept, in order to measure the relative effects or range. He said another large area in W. Cob. has been voluntarily closed by ranchers (owners) to protect coyotes. These areas would provide good experimental setups for study. My problem now is to define the objective of the study and get preliminary lineup of collaborators & specific problems. Olson wants results that will lead to positive concrete action. I mentioned the Sierra Club interest in a prairie national park - Olson thought this would be a wonderful practical application of results. Plans Mirrie was to have gone to Brooks Range, Alaska, to recommend an arctic wilderness area. Mirrie got TB, now spread to meningitis, & may recover slowly, but his Alaska work halted, of course. Fantini is starting an ecological survey of Swan Lake, Teton area, because soon it is going to be used as a dump for processed sewage and conditions will surely change rapidly. Olson has hobby of keeping pet birds, especially rare ones (a Chinese bulbul, for example), & breeding fancy pheasants. He is also involved in N.Y. Zoo, & raising money for it. Fantini & Clarke of Louis, Neva, apparently are committed to pass on projects for the Jackson Hole Biol. Lab. Fished Duvall in morning. Tish 2 cutthroat, to 13."
