Most of these immigrants on their ar

OF the 1880 Hebrews, for example, only
1883 had $50 left after paying their pas

between the northern and southern Italian

TO PREsERVE-THE BISON.
Effort to 20 Made to $.
cure Legislation.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.zyCol. C. o. Shields,
President of the League of American
sportsmen. is authority for the statement
that plans have already been made by that
organization for the reintroduction, at the
next session of Congress-. of the Buffalo
Reserve" bill drawn Up this year by Rep
resentative Lacey of Iowa. but on which
no action was taken. This bill provides
for the retention of 10000 acres OF public
lands in New Mexico buffalo range
nominal rent OF one cent an acre to be
paid for twenty years. Unless steps If
some kind are taken within q very few
years, determination, according to some
of the best observers. must be the fate of
the American bison.
Said Colonel Shields: Nothing has yet
been accomplished toward the preservation
of one of the noblsst and most character
istic of American animals. We were not
able to give this bill the support it de-
served this year because so much of the
energies of the League were concentrated
on the passage of the other Lacey bill
now the so-calIed 'Bird-Protection Law.
Next year We can work for the buffalo with
undivided enthusiasm.
Il could take a map and mark on it the
present whereabouts of every individual
buffalo in America. That shows how near
ly We have come to losing an animal which
was once to be found all over the Western
plains. The suddenness of his disappear
ance-was remarkable. Up to 1873 there
had been little apparent decrease in the
number of buffalo. but in 1883 the wild
herds had almost entirely disappeared.
About 1880 l saw the remnant of one OF
the last herds. surrounded by the camps
of head and skin-hunters That herd was
gone the next year.
The successful preservation of the AL
lard and Buffalo Jones' herds gives an n
dication of what could be accomplished m
Government reserves. The Allard herd,
under the care of cowboys, has actually
increased from 50 animals in 1888 to $50 at
the present time. The Jones herd, which
less than dozen. In each of these cases
the plan has been to prevent the animals
from getting scattered, tending them il
corral when sick and keeping the young
ones from the wolves and coyotes The
Allard herd is almost a profitable enter
prise. The sales keep about even with
the natural increase. Most go to parks
or private estates, but few are killed for
food. 4 full-grown live buffalo is worth
$500 to $500. Dead he will bring in almost
as much. The head sells for $3.50, the skin
for 800. and there are in the carcass 200
to 1000 pounds of good meat, which will
sell for 40 cents pound.
The Yellowstone Park herd, on the
other hand. has almost gone out OF exist
ence. There were 400 head originally. but
the protected bears and wolves killed the
young buffalo, while poachers and herd
hunters camped around them on the Dor
ders of the park and shot the adults. There
are not more than score left there to-
day"
William T. Hornaday, Director of the
Geological Park of this city, estimates
that there are not more than 400 buffaioes
in the world today.
