Here you find beautiful water
falls from 80 to 100 feet fall and
caves and natural kitchens, with
overhanging rocks. From the
bottom of this canyon looking up
for hundreds of feet you will see
layer after layer of rock, and
from its sides the fern, grass,
trees grow out with as much
freshness as if in deep and fer
tile soil; great boulders lying in
the valley below as if thrown out
by some sub-terranean disturb
ance and, in all, making this one
grand and majestic scene animal
ing and pleasing to the eye.
In this great canyon once
roamed the panther, the bear,
and the buffalo which has become
almost entirely extinct if not en-
tirely so in this canyon, but here
still can be found the wildcat,
wolves, deer, antelope, the mink,
opoSsom, coon, squirrel and the
jack rabbit. Many quail and
prairie chickens can be found
and many more birds of richest
hue.
This is the home of the buffalo,
and although the buffalo is almost
extinct in these parts, except the
domesticated, it should be set
apart for his habitation and pres
ervation.
One of our generous hearted
citizens, Col. Chas. Goodnight of
Goodnight, Texas, has expressed
a desire to assist in the work of
securing this great canyon, or Il
part of it, as a game reserve and
will donate his great herd of buff
faloeS and the cross breed, the
catalo, whenever it is properly
set aside as a game reserve.
We most respectfully ask the
Legislature of the state of Texas
to lend its aid in the propagation
of this enterprise, and to memo
rialiZe the congress of these Uni
ted States to set aside for the
purpose as aforesaid so much of
this canyon as will be sufficient
for the home of the buffalo and
other game where is the natu-
raj and characteristic home of
the same.
We would suggest that con
greSs be asked to set aside for
this purpose an amount Of mon
ey sufficient to purchase and put
in proper order, fence, etc, as
will protect it from the ravages
of time and trespass.
We would respectfully ask the
Legislature to cede jurisdiction to
the United States so that it can
properly take charge of this de-
sired reservation ard ard IKE ff66ff
all time to come such a game re-
serve as will keep sacred to the
people intact natural game re-
serve for the fast disappearing
buffalo and other game once so
numerous in this country.
