out. Nature paints with a full, rich
palette in this glorious western coun-
try! The skies rival those of Italy
in depth, and, while possibly a bit
more crude in raw color, are, for this
very reason, more in keeping with the
broad. vigorous landscape.
In the big game country everything
is big-not only the game, but the
mountains, the valleys and the people.
Small natures bred in these surround
ings expand and broaden-it is only
natural.
All this seems far removed from the
subject OF elk, Rocky mountain sheep
and bear, but to every true sportsman
this constitutes fully half OF the game.
The Rocky mountain sheep are by
far the most majestic and dignihed OF
the animals OF this locality. They are
fond Of the rock studded mountain
sides. and often a huge sentinel ram,

the wild west Great cities grew up in
the middle west. Factories of all kinds
were established, in which hundreds
of thousands of men were employed,
making every sort of commodity that
people use. These cities naturally be-
came great consumers of meat, and
men who had at first learned to hunt
game merely to supply themselves and
their families became market hunters.
They followed the great herds of ami
mails and the vast flights of birds per-
sistently and relentlessly, killing and
shipping the loot to the nearest cities.
Later the skin hunter became fea-
ture in this great work of destruction.
Railways had by this time penetrated
the great arid regions west of the Mis-
souri, and their advent sealed the fate
of the buffalo. Thousands of men fol-
lowed these noble animals, killing and
skinning. Then the socalled contrac-
tor developed. He had no sentiment
OF duty to posterity in his makeup.
He hired men to pillage the prairies,
in some cases hundreds of expert hunt
ers and skinners. He established nu-
merous camps which were moved from
place to place as the great herds mi
grated. These men skinned and left
the carcasses to rot on the prairie in
such numbers that year later a man
could literally have walked miles
treading on buffalo bones at every
step
Within the last few years, however,
our people have become thoroughly
aroused to the enormity of the crimes
that have been committed against ma
ture and two years ago the president

dian territory in 1875. Great numbers
of the trappers who had been follow
ing the several nestings in previous
years gathered around the single mass
and here made their final roundup. The
birds were trapped literally by hun
dreds of thousands. The Missouri.
Kansas and Texas railway, which
passes through the country occupied
by the birds, backed in whole freight
trains at various Sidings in the nesting
country. These were loaded up and
day after day entire trains of wild
pigeons were started for the eastern
cities.
NOT ONE ALIVE TODAY
The slaughter continued until fall.
when the few young birds that had
escaped were able to fly. Then, with
the few parent birds that had managed
to keep out of the nets and avoid the
fusillades of shots they went away on
their regular southern migration, and
there were only few hundred of
them. They broke up into small fiocks
and these in turn were hunted by so
called sportsmen and by farmers until
each bunch was finished A few of
the birds were reported from different
parts of the country as late as 1896
or 1897, but there is no authentic re-
port of wild pigeon having been seen
anywhere in the world since that time.
Last winter rewards aggregating about
$500 were offered by wealthy bird
lovers for information of pair of wild
pigeons nesting anywhere in the world.
Several persons reported nesting birds
and claimed the reward, but on investi-
cation of each the claimants had seen
turtle doves or some other kind OF
bird.
We are therefore, forced to the con-
clusion that there is not a single wild
pigeon alive on the face of the earth
today. The destruction of this beautia
full creature is one of the many crimes
for which the present generation is
answerable.
