How the Great American Ruminant was
wantonly ExternaInated.
In s6s the Union Pacific railroad and
Its branch In Kansas was completed
across the plains TO the foothills of the
Rocky Monntains-the western limit OF
the buffalo range-and that year wit
messed the Inauguration OF the whole
sale and wanton slaughter OF the great
ruminants, ending only with their
practical extinction in 1855, by regular
hunters for their hides, and by the
crowds of tourists who crossed the con-
tinent for mere pleasure and sport,
then made possible by the advent OF
the 'fron-tail": these latter heartlessly
killed for the excitement Of the novel
experience, often never even touching
= particle of the flesh. or possessing
themselves OF single robe as
they rode along at a slow rate OF
speed. The former, numbering thou
sands of old frontiersmen. all expert
shots, and as many novices-the pioneer
settlers on the public domain" just
opened under the various land laws
from beyond the Platte to far south Of
the Arkansas, within transporting dis
tance of the two roads, day after day
for years made it lucrative business to
kill for robes only, a market for which
had suddenly sprung up all over the
country.
On either side OF the lines of the rail-
road, within close range for nearly their
whole distance, the most conspicious
objects in those days were the desic-
Gated carcasses of the noble beasts that
had been ruthlessly slaughtered by the
thoughtless and excited passenger en-
route across the con tinent. On the open
prairie, too, miles away from the course
of legitimate travel. one could walk
in places all day on the dead
bodies of the buffaloes, killed by
the hide-hunters, without stepping
on the groundi Then was the oppor-
tunity for Congress to interpose. Re-
stricting the transportation OF robes by
the railroads and express companies
could have saved the buffalo from ex-
tinction. / believe there was some alb
surd law enacted in relation TO prevent
ing the TERRIBLE slaughter. but it made
it only a misdemeanor on the part OF
the hunter to kill-about as effective a
provision, so far as the average plains
man was concerned, as to attempt to de-
feet a tornado with a palm-leaf fan.
The price OF robes ranged all the way
from fifty cents-the amount paid pri-
marily-to two dollars and a half as
they became scarcer. have bought
many finely-tanned and ornamented
silk robe from the Indians for half a
loaf OF bread or a cupful OF sugar; but
that was twenty-five years ago. To-day
the same kind would easily bring one
hundred and fifty dollars, if procurable
ct all anywhere, which l very much
doubt.-Henry Inman, in Harper's
Weekly.
