KILLED 1900 DEER
LAST CALENDAR YEAR
That Is the Estimate of Adirondack
Guide notwithstanding Precau-
tion Against Slaughter.

UTICA. Jan. 1.-THE Browns Tract
Guide Association held its annual meet
Ing at Old Forge today. Resolutions
were adopted favoring the closing Of the
deer season on October 81, two weeks
earlier than now. A bill embodying this
suggestion is already before the Legis-
lature.
According 10 reports presented by va
riOus guides at the meeting, deer were
fairly plentiful during lsst season. but
Il IS a question as 10 there being any
increase IN their number. The present
winter bids fair TO be one OF the great
est severity. and as they are already
feeding on the cedars about the lake
shore and in many places are confined
to the balsam swamps. indications are
that there will be great mortality
among them before spring. The Game
and Forest Commission estimated two
months ago that ZOO deer had been
taken out Of the Adirondacks during
the open season OF 1903.
The association considers this csti-
mate far too low. and without submitting
any figures declares that about 1000
deer were slaughtered In the Adiron-
dacks last season.
