To provide national preserve for
New Mexico such as the Yellowstone
National Park is in Wyoming and
which will serve as provider OF
game for the forests of the territory
that is the object Of the trip of A. c..
Cooper, who has just toured the ter
ritory looking for the best location of
such preserve.
Mr.. Cooper represents the biologi-
cal survey which has charge of the
game preservation and enforcement OF
game laws throughout the country.
"A preserve would prove of untold
good to the sportsmen of this territory
and soon-to-be state" said Mr., Cooper
today. For it would serve the pur-
pose of stocking the forests. Just as
the water reservoirs are good thing
to save water for drinking and irriga.
tion purposes, so a game preserve
works to the advantage of the hunter
though he may not think SO at first
The plan is to fence in about seven
: teen townships and with a net fence.
In this preserve will be kept noun
tain sheep, elk, deer, turkeys, ante.
lcpes and grouse. Certain animals
work their way to the fence and are
shot, though bears and deer in the Vel
lowstone Park have become tame. One
bear in the Yellowstone Park used to
sleep regularly at a hotel much fire.
Qlented by transients.
There will be plenty of quail and
turkeys to get outside OF the preserve
after Matching season and these will
furnish material for the sportsman
to shoot af.''
Mr.. Cooper established the first
game preserve in this country in Ok.
lahoma. That was in 1890. Those
who opposed it's establishment now
are defending it, it is said.
The idea of getting game preserve
for this territory was conceived by
Game and Fish Warden Thomas p.
Gable who took the matter up some
months ago with Delegate in Congress
William H. Andrews, and after a good
deal of work on the part of both dele
gate and game warden the matter
now seems settled. Just where, the
preserve will be located will likely
depend on the report of Mr.. Cooper
and this report will be sent to Wash.
lngton and as soon as action is taken,
the public will be informed through
the press.

Oh the charge of bootlegging. He was

Wants Buck Deer.

ing purposes. Any one who owns such
deer will kindly communicate with
Mr.. Gable, at Santa Fe.
