ABOUT THE BUFFALO
STATEMENT By SECRETARY OF
THE AMERICAN BISON SOCIETY.
Answers a Recent Article Which De-
clared That Bufaloes Cannot Be
Reared at a Profit.
written for The Star.

Written for The Star.
A pessimistic article, entitled NO Profit
in Bufaloes," was published in New
York newspaper recently, and since then
it has been reprinted in scores of different
cities throughout the country, by other
newspapers, which doubtless thought that
1t was so" 1t was written in Luaua,
Iowa, by some one who affects wide
knowledge of his subject, treating OF buf1a-
loes in general and of buffaloes in particu-
lar. ana attempts to prove that the ami
mails cannot be reared at prof1t-
The writer of, the article mentioned gives
what purports to be a list of all the buHalo
herds in the United States. After men
tioning the Burgess & Hanson hefo'
which was recently sold at auction, ne re-
fers TO the fact that it once was part OF
the big herd from the Flathead Indian res
eryation. owned by NJ Pablo and Charles
Allard." AT one time, he continues tne
Pablo-Allard herd consisted OF 80 heau,
more than one-third of the pure bloodeo
buffaloes in the world He evidently Goes

a herd of pure blooded buffaloes, but that
1t has always contained large pei ceh1ase
of croSs-bred animals.
The next herd mentioned is the Pnlilp
herd at Fort Pierre. S. D.. which the writer
states consists of siXty-one fui-otooaea
buffaices ana fifty head of cattalo, cross
hetyeen buffaloes and Angus cattle. We
will assume that the owner OF the nero
knows what he has. and Mr. James Phiiip
in II g January number of Field and stream
says in referring to his own bulfalo heIo
."Th.s. commonly known as the Philip nero
now numbers one hundred ana twenty run
blooGed buffalo, including twenty-one
calves
THEN comes the herd of Maj. Gordon d
Lille (Pawnee Bid, which, our authority
states Il ) probably tie most important ne u
of buffaloes in existence. As a matte OF
fact this herd, as buffalo herd, Is one OF
the least important. for the reason that
there are hardly any buffaloes in it; they
are nearly all cross-bred animals or cat
taloes.
Charles Goodnight, he states, has
hero of eighty buffaloes, but he has been
crossing them with Galloway cattle for the
past few years. and making no serious at
tempt 10 keep them pure. In recent let
ter TO the writer Mr. Goodnight himself
says: II have about sixty full-blooded buff
faloSs and seVenty-five hybrids.
After brief mention of the herd of c. e
Conrad of Kalisnel. Montana, Of which he
does not give the number of individuals, he
concludes:
These herds. with the Rockefeller herd
in Kansas and those of Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. constitute the buffalo popula-
ton of the United States, little remnant
of the great herds which formerly roamed

Government Property.

Nowhere in his speech does Mr.. Morrell
give reasons for his selection of a particular
city Used for comparison. But without
showing that a fairer comparison might
have been made, it can be shown that his
comparison is valueless BY the mere state
ment of the fact that he omits reference
to the real estate holdings of the United
States government in the District of Co
luu, bia. where it owns more than half of
the city of Washington, including the
streets and parks and the reservations and
sites for public buildings. This property Is
valued on the assessment books at S26l,
1886, but is not taxed, although the con-
tributiOu of the national government of
one-half of the District appropriation fund
is partly in lieu of what IT would pay If 1t
were taxed like the private real estate
holdings minor point of objection to
the table IS that Mr.. Mor-el uses the pop
ulation figures of the census of 1850, while
Of 1904.
Although the census Office bulletin on the
statistics of cities (No 20 does not take
into account the fact that more than one
half of the real estate of The city of Wash
irgtOn belongs to the United States govern
mcnt, ats table, No. IS, een the assessed 966
yqluatiOn of property for the year 1913,
gives a much fairer comparison than that
of Mr. MorreH Its figures for the cities
named by Mr.. Morrell are as follows:

Per Capita Assessment.
But table No. Is in the census baletln

Its statement OF the total assessed vaiua-
tion per capita which shows the exact re-
lation between population and valuation,
instead OF the Incorrect and misleading re-
lation set forth I'm Mr. MoIrelfs table. 1t
is true that In table 50 the per capita total
assessed valuation of Washington, u -
is given es SIsl62, which covers only the
valuation OF private property, while 70
make a complete comparison this amount
should be doubled, that Washington
should be credited with per capita Valua-
ton OF 81, 5,li. "a, which would be more than
