Therestuck ing ~ the Adron daCk with moose
has been advocated for many years, but this
IL the first time that the movement has taken
definite shape. Many stories have been told
and writ on Of the last moose TO he shot in
the Adirondack, and there are any number
OF hunters who claim that distinction. In lsl0
moose were very plentiful around NE Bog
River. Cold River. Moose River and Racquet
Lake region. Twenty wears later they began
to disappear ~ rapidly that they soon became
practically extinct The animals migrated
to Canada. driven out of the country by hunt
ers and trappcrs. At present there are some
left Ia the Adirou iach- =. but they are owned by
private persons and clubs and kept in private
preserves. Or W. seward webb has n park
of more than ten thousand acres and in Is there
are sonnet hing like hity moose. Edward II.
and twenty-nve moose. Then there are
number Of clubs that have smaller preserves
stocked with moose.
The sportsmen who are behind the present
movement To restock the region say that the
cost would not be great. as number of guides
have volunteered to 90 to canada and catch
the moose, 4 their expenses are paid This
the proposition The restocking ~ the Adiron-
dack wilderness ia perfectly feasible. and will
be a great benefit financially TO the state Every
thing that helps To advertise the woods and Is
attractive TO the wealthy the lovers Of sport
and OF nature and those who need TO rccupernte
their exhausted life forces the State OF New
FORK should help. The financial gain alone
amply iustifes the policy. Broadly stated
and from the matarialistic and mercenary
yielding asset that the Empire state has or
will have
