Following upon the heels of the In
dian and bison, the alligator, one of Am
erica's most valuable native sons, is fast
disappearing from the face of the earth
and this means that stcrs may soon be
taken by the government to preserve
him in reservations Unless SOME care
is taken of him meanwhile through State
laws, such as the one recently passed by
the Florida Legislature, he is doomed.
From sport to commcrclaliSm the
slaughter of the alligator has grown. and

To most persons it would seem that
the alligator might rs well 90. He l.
ugly and possesses no attractive feature,
save an ugly tough hide. There are
people like that, and their eXtermina-
ton would be received with general re
joicing by mankind. Therefore, the aV-
erage man would argue, 1t were well to
begin with the alligator. But beyond
his tough hide, which makes excellent
leather, the alligator has other good
points, useful, if not ornamental.
Until comparatively short time ago
dwellers in alligator-infested localities
were prone to think of the alligator
what the the early settlers i'll the West
thought of the 1ndiaDl-that there was
no good alligator except dead alligator.
Dealers in alligator hides have thought
this, too, but now that their slaughter of
the saurians has reduced them to SO small
number, they are becoming frightened
at the possibility of there being nothing
but dead alligators in a few years.
Before the trade in alligator skins de
veloped to an extent where it was highly
profitable, the saurians were killed
chiefly for what sport there WAS III it
poor sport at best, by the Way-but
when their commercial value developed
to point OF making traffic in hides an
industry, deadly methods were devised
for slaughtering them by the wholesale
The result was that where there we're

not stepped in year ago with the pas
