WILD GAME IS
GETTING SCARCE
Elks, Deer and Mountain Sheep
Fast Disappearing in
the West.
FLAGRANT DISREGARD OF
THE LAWS RESPONSIBLE
Animals Killed in Yellowstone
Park in Winter When Not
Closely Guarded.

In ten wears there will hardly be
enough big game in the West to tempt
hunter to take down his rife-pro.
vided the present rate Of slaughter is
maintained.
From the Western States that have
long been famed as the haunts OF big
game of all descriptions come stories
of fragrant disregard of laws. Hunting
is carried on out Of season by ranch
men, and, if game warden makes an
arrest it is almost impossible to ind
jury that will convict. An occasional
outsider is fined, but the native gen
erally gets off scot free, even if he has
been caught with a wagon-load Of IL
legally slaughtered game in his posses
sion, which was the case some time ago
in Colorado.
Poachers are Offenders.
In the last haunt Of the elk, south
Of Yellowstone park, in the jackson
Hole country, says Colorado CORE
spondent of the New Orleans Times-Dern-
ocrat, those noble animals are fast dis
appearing Even the game Of Yellow
stone National park is not exempt, If
stories from Wyoming and Montana are
correct, as it is claimed that poachers
slaughter In the long winter months,
when the park Is snow bound and when
it is practically impossible for the SOL
diers to guard the great game preserve
Of the Nation. In the Northwest little
or no attention is paid to the laws pro-
tecting those rare animals, mountain
goats; while in Colorado and other
are the grazing grounds Of the noun
tain sheep, those beautiful animals are
being killed off in spite OF a farcical
perpetual closed season.
Less than decade ago a man could
get all kinds Of deer hunting in Colo.
RADIO; and score Of years ago the buff
faloes were still roaming the plains east
Of the Rockies, but today the deer is
getting almost as rare as the buffalo,
elk long ago left Colorado 3 mountains,
and drifted north into Wyoming, where
bands of them are still to be found in
the Jackson Hole region. But the laws
Of Wyoming, while making it hot"
for any outsider who kills an elk out of
season, are inadequate when put in
operation against the native hunter. 1t
most Of the illegal killing. It is i'm
possible to convince the average rancher
that he is not privileged to 60 out and
get 'fresh meat" whenever he wants
It, regardless of game laws. The deer
or elk come down to his feed lot fence
in winter and there is little chance OF
discovery if one of the animals is
killed Even If q stray game warden
happens along and puts him under ar
rest there is little to fear, as Jury is
pretty sure to be made up of ranchmen
who are all tarred with the same stick
So the game hog gets off free and goes
on with his work of slaughter, in sea-
son and out.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Although
full response to the circular of the
Brooklyn Chess club, calling for an ex.
preston of opinion upon the united
States championship question and other
matters needing National control, has
not been received, owing to the fact
that most of the club business meet
ings do not occur until the first OF Oc-
tober, yet plenty of suggestions have
come from all parts of the country, The
general tenor of the communications ia
vors an open tournament to decide pos
session of the title left by Pillsbury,
and, thereafter, set matches at the
option of individual challengers, much
as in times past.
Encouraging Matches.
In the meantime. copy of the ar
ticles of incorporation of the National
Chess association, the signers of which
prove to be @. 3. Spencer, Magnus Nj.
Smith and W. d. R. Macleod, has come
to hand, one clause reading as follows;
"1ts general purpose and plan OF
study of the game OF chess; TO lnauRur-
ate and hold an annual chess tourna-
ment for the championship Of the
United States; to encourage and pro-
mote challenge matches Tor the cham
pionship of the United States during
the interim, and to organize, promote
and hold such interstate, national and
international chess tournaments as may
be deemed best
AS long as the West does not intend
to monopolize the management OF az
fairs or railroad through a tournament
for the championship, as at first ap-
peared imminent, there seems TO be no
reason why tho organization thus
formed should not be put to good use,
providing the consensus of opinion does
not oppose annual tournaments.
Called upon for an explanation of his
action in using, without authority, the
names Of three Brooklynites in incor-
porating the National Chess associa-
tion, George B. Spencer of st. Paul, for
mer president of the Western Chess as
sociation, makes this statement:

1T would not be possible to build

square feet OF sail TO rate the same as
Queen that would sail anywhere near as
fast as she does. Therefore II would
not be built. A very simple mathemati-

Now. the cup defenders carried about
