company and build an abattoir and
reduction plant, operating 1t them

ORNOTHOLOGISTS TO
Save Blue GOOSE

Abbeville, La, Oct. 4.-Game War
den Otis Hoffpauir states that two or
three ornithologists from Washington
will be in Abbeville in a few weeks,
and will go down to the Gulf coast to
study the habits and movements of
the blue goose, which will arrive in
myriads in a short time.
Their habitat is Canada, and they
come to this mild section to escape the
freezing winters They have flown
over a vast extent of territory yearly,
and seem to give Vermillion the pref
erence for settlement. The blue goose
is more choice than any other species
of that bird, and makes gumbo that
cam not be excelled.
About the time of the advent of the
blue goose the game law suffers, I'M
less an officer is on the spot, and he
cannot be everywhere at the same
time.
1t is believed that the ornithologists
will spend two or three months in
this section, and perhaps report in ia
vor of further protecting this species
of goose from slaughter by limiting
the number that may be killed each
day and also shorten the season.
