In the meantime efforts have been made to re-
strict traffic in native cage birds. Until recently
tens of thousands of hooking birds, cardinals indigo
birds and other bright plumaged species were
trapped for SALE a large proportion of them being
exported to other countries. So assduousy did the

with the passage of law in Louisiana in 1904 pro-
hibiting the traffic, important of supply

1t is a fact worth mentioning in this connection
that we import more than two hundred thousand
canaries from Europe every year. During the last
fiscal year the number two hundred and thirty

comprise important breeding grounds, where native
species protected; but they were not set apart
specially for the preservation of birds and game
animals.
Since 1900, however eight additional preserves
have been established-two in Florida two in
Michigan, and one each in Louisiana, North Dakota,
Oklahoma and Alaska
The best known of these is Pelican Island, in
Indian River, Florida not far from Sebastian where,
mud fiat less than four in extent, adorned
by a few mangroves or two cabbage palms. and
few patches of grass, is found the only per-
manent breeding ground of brown pelicans the
east coast of the fowery peninsula.
What may be accomplished for the protection of
wild birds by the exercise of little intelligent and
determined effort may be judged from the results
attained on this reservation. 1t is the custom of
plume hunters attack wild birds on their breed
finally This method they putting into practice

were sold for trimming women's hats. Meanwhile

such portion of the Western Forest Reserve as he
deemed advisable for retreat for wild animals
chose in his wisdom to put fence, in fgurative
sense, around the whole area comprising ffty-seven
thousand Thus brought into being the
first great game preserve of the kind in this country
which, while only one-tenth large as the State
preserve established by Wyoming in 1oo5 has vast
possibilities for the propagation of quail prairie

Previous to 1000 the general Government had set
aside only three reservations for the protection of
birds and mammals: the Yellowstone Park, in 1872
the Geological Park in the District of Columbia, in
1890 and Afognak Island, off the southern coast of
Alaska in 1902. Afognak Island was intended as a
refuge for the almost extermnated sea otter and

on the shores of North Carolina, Flor
ida, and Louisiana, and at certain
points in Oregon. Wardens, paid by
the societies, patrol these colonies
thoroughly during the breeding sea-
son, and safeguard the birds against
molestation.
In 1903 formal agreements were
made between the Audubon societies
of several of the Eastern States and
the Merchants Millinery Association of
New York, and also between several
of the societies in the West and the
Western Jobbers' Association, where
by the sale of plumage of gulls, terms,
grebes, and other native birds was
discontinued. Accordingly, at the
present time practically no native
birds are killed in the United States

u ENG at length awakened to the
ID urgent necessity of taking steps
to prevent the determination of
our most valuable wild mammals and
birds, the Government is adopting
painstaking and effective measures
for the protection of such species, a
part of its comprehensive plan being
to establish in various parts of the
United States SO called game ref
uges, ;" in which all creatures in fur
and feathers will find safety, under
the protection of stringent law, from
human enemies.
The recent establishment of the
Wichita Game Refuge, which was
created by executive proclamation in
June of last year, marks the first step
toward utilizing the forest reserves for
such purposes. The President, being
authorized by Congress to set aside
