The Geological Park.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t Is almost beyond belief, but neverthe-
less a fact, that there are number of
wesU who are opposed to the existence of
the National Geological Park, an institution
founded for the preservation of American
wild animals from extinction. These con-
gressmen fought against the establish
ment of this institution and ever since its
establishment have conspired in every pos
sible way to prevent it from carrying out
the purpose for which 1t was founded. In
the first place, they prevented sufficient
appropriation being made to properly start
the Zoo; since then they have allowed only
the most meager appropriations to be made
for its suppOrt-merely enough to feed and
care for the small collection Of animals,
and have even endeavored to bring about
an auction sale of the animals. But a de-
vice which absolutely prevents the growt h
Of this institution is the clause which they
have inserted in the appropriation posi-
lively prohibiting the purchase of any wild
animals whatever. although as before sta
ted the park was founded for the preserva-
tion of the wild animals native to this
country. it does not contain at the
moose. caribou. big-hoen sheep, Rocky
mountain goat or prong-horn antelope.
and the small herd of bison contains
only one COW. Meanwhile these animals
are rapidly becoming extinct, and unless
specimens are obtained Immediately 1t will
soon be impossible to procure them. 1t is

patriotism at this session to eliminate the
clause prohibiting the purchase of wild an
imals, and insist on sufficient appropria-
