THE LAST HERD OF BISON
II is at Fl. Pierre. South Dakota,
and Contains About 50 Full
BIooded Specimens.

The only herd of bison of any import
ance now left in the United States from
the millions which a few years ago
roamed over the entire country between
the Missouri River and the Rocky
Mountains consists of about so full
blooded buffalo and the same number
of mixed bloods, all now the property
of James Philip, Of Ft. Pierre, S. Da.,
who is known all over the range coun-
try as Scotty Philip.
The herd is the product of hunt 20
years ago, when Frederick Dupree, an
old French trapper, seeing the early
extermination of the species, started
for the Little Missouri country to cap
ture few calves for the purpose of
raising herd. In this hunt he led q
band of Indians and halfbreeds, who
only accomplished the purpose for
which they set out after q long and
dangerous search among the few small
punches of buffalo yet known to be
roaming in that country. Only half q
dozen calves were taken alive, and
from these the present herd has grown.
Mr.. Dupree allowed the buffalo to
range practically wild on the Cheyenne
River, with no further attention than
to see that they did not get out of that
part of the State, where they were
kept until his death. In the settlement
of the estate none of the numerous rel
atives cared to take them as his share
of the estate, and they were sold to
Scotty Philip, after an Intellectual at
tenn pit to dispose of them to the general
government.
Just what the value Of the herd is is
problematic, but as it is the only herd
J left in the country on which TO draw
for specimens, this will give it an in.
creasing value as years go by.
Having had practically the same free
dom as in their native state, the speci
mems of the herd are somewhat differ
ent from those usually seen in parks
and menageries. One bull out of this
herd was sold for show purposes about
/ Ten years ago IOr oil ,OUO.
At present the full bloods, consisting
of all ages from four-months-old calves
to huge bulls, are confined in q pasture
of thousand acres which has been In
closed among the rough lands in bend
of the Missouri River, about eigh
mil es up the stream from Fort Pierre
The fepce which restraints them i
even feet high, with posts five fee
Iapart, and is composed of strong wovel
wi re, over which are numerous strand
lOf barb wire.
The herd is an attraction to visitor
from all over the Northwest, as an or
portunity of seeing these animals is no
so common as in the past.

1t is the greatest rainfall in the world
which pours down In torrents upon the
southern sides Of the Khasia hills, in
Assam. No wonder that their southern
slopes are fertile. The rains begin in
June and last through August and Sep
tember. Isabel Savory writes Of these
rains in "a Sportswoman In India:"
At Cherra Junji 523 inches of rain
fall annually. The yearly rainfall in
London is about two feet. At Cherra
Junji it is forty feet, or enough to float
the largest man-of-war, while In one
year sixty-seven feet of water once
fell from the sky.
When the rains set in, we had thun-
derstorms on large scale. We, in the
innocence of the uninitiated, began by
trying to fine a peal Of thunder, but
when it had lasted over half an hour
we gave it up. Storms We're on all
sides, one long rolling peal crashing
and vibrating among the distant noun
taius for hours.

tween Great Britain and the United
States the treaty would lapse, and then
British war ships could be rushed up the
! ST Lawrence river and through the
Welland canal into the lakes, where our
great cities would be at their mercy.
AS matter of fact, nothing but gun
boats and torpedo craft could pass
through the Welland canal and they
would never get through without the
utmost peril of being blocked or destroy
ed in transit In case of hostilities one
of the irst things this government
would do would be to make this canal
impossible, and if a large American
army could not dominate so vital a
point on the American Canadian from
tier from the very outset OF war then
nothing whatever can be taken for
granted But Mr.. Boutell himself adj
mits that war between England and
America is extremely improbable.
What is the use then, of attacking the
Rush-Bagot treaty on the ground that
a few small British gunboats might
sneak through the Welland canal into
the lakes in case Of hostilities?
The Illinois congressman admits
that the treaty was once very useful.
In recent article he candidly said: AS
an arrangement for immediate mutual
disarmament, the convention was eff
fective and beneficial to both parties. 1t
was distinct aid in bringing about "a
better feeling between the people along
the border. 1t stimulated commerce on
the lakes and encouraged settlement
along their shores. The agreement
W lrked smoothly during the first 20
years of its life. 1t injured no one and
was of undeniable advantage to both
parties If it was beneficial 80 years
ago, is it not benefici II now?
When the heart of the discussion ISL
even Mr. Boutell says he does
not ask for the complete abrogation Of |
the convention. He is evidently will
ing that same agreement limiting naV2l
forces on the lakes should be kept up;
what he wants il modification of the
treaty by which the construction OF
war ships can be made possible in lake
ship yards. This is a less radical posi-
tion thaa was taken several years ago,
and possibly some arrangement could
be effected in that direction without
seriously impairing the force Of the old
treaty as an instrument of peace. Yet
nothing should be done to- make the
