pic 10 import game animals from
Africa TO the plains and mountains Of
Southern California. Encouraged by his
active interest in the matter and fnan-
cially aided by many philosophical
sportsmen and Others. it now appears

This Importation Of African game for
the benefit of future generations is q
decided innovation. Nothing Of the
kind has ever been attempted with any
system OF determination. Many years
ago number of African cameis were
introduced TO the California desert. but
no laws were enacted to protect them.
Thus it happened that Yankee from
the Nutmeg State rounded them up,
after they had multiplied more than
fourfold and, shipped them East

q handsome figure. But the present
venture is TO be conducted on differ

ner modest any of the animals brought
here; and ample protection will be af-
1orded them by especially appointed
game guards and forest rangers. This
protection will continue for q period
of at least. twenty-five years, after
which If desired. the laws may be mod
flied. But no slaughter will be permit
ted until California is thoroughly
stocked with the many rare and valua-
bile mammals of old world jungle lands.
So. with this judicious provision it
seems assured that the great task in
every way will be successful.
Camels Thrive in Southwest.
The fact that the camels, which were
introduced here by enthusiastic Gov
eminent officials. proved themselves
thoroughly at home on the deserts OF
the Southwest has been a prime incen-
tive in the present undertaking. So
well did these carneIs thrive In the
sandy stretches Of the land that God
forget that the Connecticut man who
took them East sold them at a figure
20 per cent above the highest sum
ever paid, even for camels brought df-
rect from the Sahara fields. They
were said 10 be stronger, more healthy
and possessed Of greater endurance
than their progenitors OF Africa. The
climate of the Southwestern desert is
particularly adapted TO the needs of
SIC camel, and likewise to those of
many other animals OF Africa. Asia
and even OF Brazil and India IN this
connection the plan OF the promoters
promises to develop even greater re-
suits. for following the importation
from the Dark Continent, it is declared
by men interested in the movement
that many desirable mammals may be
introduced from other tropic and SEMI
tropic countries.
