THE VANISHING PRAIRIE HEN.

Clatc Tinan IN September Recreation.
The people az the western prairies
should realize that all game laws are
not I'm the interest III the fcw--as some
would have them believc--but In the
interest OF the many. OF which shcy
constitute the major part. The prairie
chickens should be protected with rea-

food they furnish TO the farmer. to
the stockmen and 10 the rnnchcr. With
this. the pursuit OF them furnishes tho
youth of the prairie homes about the
only recreation with dog and gun mat
the country affords.
Tho rich and well to do can either
stock private game preserves or jour
ncy afar or to distant lands where
game Is plentiful. To this latter class

tcnthS OF the opposition To effective
Eamc laws I'm every Legislative assembly
comes from the farmer members.
There Is feeling among this class
az men that game protection Is In the
wlthsiandlng that the laws OF most
states have stringent trespass laws
which give To the farmer absolute con-
troll of HIS lands where the prairie
chickens breed and make their home.
The city sportsmCn are perfectly Will
ing that IL should be so. resting In the
belief that there will always be enough
birds Ia get over the line To give rea-
sonahle sport.

proved also by the better class OF

birds and restraint on vandalism.

and that " the appointment OF effective
