m HE rapid disappearance Of wild
game in the west is causing
Uncle Sam to sit up and take
notice. The Biological Survey
recently made an exhaustive
report as to big game conditions, and
the prospect in general. and while
conditions were found good in some
states, the reports from other haunts
Of big game were not SO optimistic.
As matter Of fact, between the
game hogs, the ranchers who insist on
having wild meet out Of season. and
bands of marauding Indians from
various reservations. wild game in the
west is travelling at a rapid pace to-
ward extinction. Most Of the states
have poor laws. which vary greatly,
and these laws are enforced only
spasmodically. 1t is almost impossi-
Bile to secure the conviction OF any
rancher who kills wild game out OF
season. Jurles in the sparsely settled
communities will never convict, and In
consequence state officers have be-
come discouraged and rarely prose
cute. The tourist who happens to kill
a grouse out Of season, or whose ig-
norance of local game laws leads him
into some such blunder, Is made the
goat" The chap who happens to
have an understood trout in his creel
is fined heavily, while the local resi-
dent who may be making a practice
Of killing mountain sheep, upon which
there is no open season in most west
ern states, Is allowed to carry on his
work unmolested because no convic-
tlon can be secured in local court.
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and
Utah suffer from the depredations OF
Indians, who care nothing for the
white mans game laws. The Indians
kill right and left. and. on their deer
hunting expeditions, does and fawns
as well as bucks fall victims to their
guns, There is another influence at
work, against which the most strin-
gent laws in the world would be un-
availing-the rapid settlement OF the
open range.
Antelope in particular have suffered
from the encroachments Of the set
tier. Colorado has had no open sea-
son on antelope for several years, but
these animals are steadily disappear
ing The plains country east Of the
Rocky mountains has been put under

FIRST CONVENTION.
Kings Daughters Hold International
Meeting in Louisville.

Louisville, KY. May 10.-More than
200 delegates and as many visitors were
in attendance at the first international
convention of the international Order
of Kings Daughters which began in
Louisville this morning. Heretofore
during the 26 years of the orders ex-
istence, the central council has attend
ed to all the business of the organiza-
ton. consequently this first general con-
yention has attracted delegates from all
parts of the United States and Canada.
Revision of the constitution and the
transfer of conference records from the
council to the convention are the prin-
eipaI business features of the meeting.
Miss Kate Bond. of New York, who
was reelected president for two years
by the central council, is detained in
New York by illness, and Mrs. Isa-
belle Charles Davis, of the executive
committee presided. Nearly all the
other officers are present. They are
