Shuttle, = Either.
THREE BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS-
Alaska and the Forest Reserves
Teemins With Interest
to sportsmen.


7. From The Journal sBureass. Room. Is. Poo
Washington, April 26. Three bills are
now before congress OF special interest
to sportsmen and to persons DESTROYS Of
conserving the wild animals and birds
within our domain. The Alaska Bill''
has passed the house, and will probably
pass the senate. It seeks to protect all
the big game and the birds of Alaska in
much the same way as the game laws OF
the states. It prohibits the shipping OF
deer hides, and fixes seasons for the cap-s
ture Of big game and birds It is, how
ever, less stringent than similar laws
here. Indians are excepted from its opera
ton and also miners who need the ami.
mails for food. 1t would be impossible to
enforce stringent law there, and yet the
whole region is alone among the places
of this continent in being without pro-
tective. Legislation Of any kind. The
Cauadians have very good game laws.
The bill which has been reported by tho
house committee to transfer the forest
reserves to the department Of agricul.
ture has a large bird and game aspect.
The trouble heretofore in making this
transfer has been vagueness concerning
the boundary lines of the, reserves, and
their settlement is matter Of land Office
regulation The proposed bill provides
for transfer only after the boundaries are

the state in which the reserve is ste
uated recommends that 1t be also made
game preserve the secretary of agricul-
ture will be- empowered, acting on his
discretion, to do this. Since the forest
reserves contain approximately as much
land as all of New England and New
York, it will be seen that many OF tho
species OF the native animals of America
will have a new lease Of life afforded
| them.
A third bill proposes to give the secre-
tary of agriculture authority to permit
| the importation of the eggs of game birds
| intended for propagation. Now, there 10
an absolute prohibition of such impor-
tations, and since many persons cannot
afford to import the live birds for pro-
] pagation purposes, it is believed that per.
mission to bring In the eggs would have
la beneficial effect. This would put eggs
on the same basis as the birds them
selves, which are now admitted at the
/ discretion of the secretary OF agrfcul.f
j ture This bill passed the house Satur.
day, and will probably receive early con-
! sideration in the senate. The prohibition
measure which it would displace is be-
/ lieved to have been mistaken legislation,
and to have been passed under misap.
/ prehension as to Its effects.

May is pre-eminently the month ofbiri
travel hut in April while the leaf buds
are still unspread the bird student finds
it a compa ratively easy task to follow the
bird through all his motions. There are
certain little fellows, too, who make such
an early flight north, that one misses
them unless on the lookout very early in
the year The true. bird days are sunny
and warm, with little wind. Study at
every such time adds to the lengthening
list of migrants passing northward. But
when it is cold dark and windy, the mos.
careful search through the woods will
give no reward other than the sight of
some winter birds, nut-hatches, little
brown creepers, and juncos, besides such
birds as robins or yellow hammers that
have already established residence.

He told the class that his teaching on
the Interpretation Of the Old Testament
has called down on him so much criticism
that, in justice to himself and the insti-.

Horswell's address to the class is said to
have contained some caustic references
to the present day attitude OF the Method

that Methodism is to-day far behind the
times.
