Roaming once more the hills of
their native land. where there is no
sign OF fence or road for miles any
where as yet the destroying hand of
civilization has not made itself felt.
the members of the Conrad bison
herd have started in on what must
be to them the most wonderful win
ter of their existence. Taken from a
narrow confine in a country full OF
the mysterious and terrifying marks
OF humanity and transported In one
brief week to new enclosure, in
which they may roam for miles with
out n stop and which is filled with
beautiful rolling hills and wonderful
pasturage. the change can do them
nothing but good and from this start
the American Bison society should
yet get herd which will make the
preservation of the great American
buffalo certain.
The southern boundary of the big
reserve Is just a few miles north of
the Northern Pacific railroad. The
enclosure extends from this point back
nearly six miles, comprising in all
nearly 30 miles of land.
The reserve was established through
the efforts OF Senator Joseph NJ
Dixon Mt the time the Flathead res
ervation was opened and was given
into the hands of the American Bison
society. whose Influence was respon-
sible for the movement. Represen-
tatives of the society went over the
reservation and picked out the tract.
AS soon as things had gotten into
shape the forestry service built
heavy steel wire fence, % miles in
length. around the reserve and the
place was ready for the animals.
While these preparations were going
on Michel Pablo. one of the richest
farmers on the reservation, was at
tempting to dispose of his big herd
of bison. He tried to sell the ami
mals--the most famous in the world
to the United States government at
first and then to numerous private
interests in the country. His efforts
were unavailing. however. and the
animals were finally sold to the Ca
madam government. The passing from
the country OF this great herd was
a setback to the bison association.
They, however, began to collect an
other herd. and by the time Pablo's
had purchased or been presented with
q herd of 81 buffaloes belonging to
w, IT.. Conrad. These animals had
been auartered on the Conrad ranch
at kalispell and as soon as the re-
serve was finished they We're brought
across the lake and through the res
eryation to their new home. They
have been comfortably settled there
now and everything has been pre-
pared for the winter. so that there
need be no fear as to their condi-
tons. T1&V0
