May BE DepopuIated of Deer.

The open season for the killing of deer
in Michigan is on and the exodus to the
north woods during the last few days
has been enormous. 1t is estimated that
over 10000 licenses to hunt deer have
been granted by the county clerks. Each
license entities the holder to kill five deer,
and coupon must be attached to each
animal shipped. If every deer hunter
kills the number to which he is entitled
there will not be enough deer left in Mich
igan to perpetuate the species. The IL
cense fee is so cents for residents and
S25 for non-residents. Pot hunters who
desire to slaughter large number of deer
will find an opportunity to evade the law
by taking out several licenses under diff
ferent names.

plucky Philadelphia who for the past

eastern coast year ago last June, to
push across the country of the Gallreas

recently discovered by another expedition;
