After two days rest, two bulls, six cows and seven year-lings were loaded into a box-car and hauled to the town of Joseph, Oregon.At this point it was again necessary to load the elk into the crates and haulthem forty-six miles north to the place known as Billy Meadows Pasture.Again on account of heavy snows in the mountains, it required four daysto reach the pasture.
