Buffalo Increase in
Wichita Reserve

The birth of ten calves in the but.
falo herd maintained by the govern
ment on the Wichita national forest
and game refuge, lear Lawton, Okla
homa, has been reported by the game
warden in charge. The herd now
contains a total of 4S head of full
blooded buffalo, or, more properly,
bison, of which 81 are males and 81
females. All of the animals are in
splendid condition.
In 1907 the American bison society
donated to the federel government a
nucleus herd of Is animals which had
been bred and reared in the New
York geological park. The animals
were transported to the Wichita ma
tional forest which is also a game
refuge and placed under the care of
the forest service. They readily ad-
apted themselves to their new habit
at but the area upon which they were
placed was within the zone affected
by the Texas fever tick and during
the two or three years following their
transfer only the constant care and
watchfulness of the forest officers
prevented the complete loss of the
herd.
The animals ERE examined almost
daily to determine whether they had
become infested with Texas fever
ticks and were placed in specially
designed cages and sprayed with
crude oil at intervals of from is to
so days, but notwithstanding the ex.
IRENE precautions which were adopt.
ed three of he animals died. Grad.
ually, however, the enclosures in
which the buffalo were confined were
freed from fever ticks and there is
a possibility that the buffalo adapted
themselves to their new environment
they became more Or less immune to
the disease. No losses from Texas
fever have occurred for several years
and the herd has almost quadrupled
in number since it was established.
The fact that the herd has not in.
creased more rapidly is due largely
to the preponderance of male calves.
This characteristic Of the buffalo is
" pronounced in all of the herds now
In captivity that a COW is considered
twice as valuable as q bull.

Editor Writes OF
Trip to Watertown

Groton Independent: Our first in
innate knowledge of Watertown was
gained in those early days when the
town down by Lake Kampeska con-
tanned the United States land office

storm of 1SS2-which was generally a
very mild winter-was giving way to
Spring during the closing days of
March, the writer burrowed through
a blockade from Odessa, Mimi, to
Webster. There learning that land

ing government land which had be-
come open to entry-we wanted to
file on a tree claim, so arranged for a
trip of forty miles across from Web
ster to Watertown with a man who
was making the trip from Ordway.
His conveyance was the front wheels
of a wagon arranged with a seat and
with a fairly good team to do the
pulling. The campaign through snow
and sloughs has since been duly re.
membered. The return to Webster
was with an immigrant conveying q
load OF household goods, including
coop of chickens. There was less
snow but more water on the return
trip. In one slough where we Were
stalled, the coop Of chickens broke
loose and had to be rounded up be
fore we could proceed.
Our latest trip to Watertown was
last week when we made a two-day
visit to one of the prettiest towns in
the west and to the finest body of
water within the state-Lake KAN.

Charter Boats TO
Beat The Railroads

Chattanooga, Aug. 18-Com-
mAnder j. N. Harrison, of the
Department of Kansas, &. A. H.,
has taken up the cudgels against
the western railroads Oh the 2 cent
rate per mile for the Grand Army
encampment here in dead earnest,
and declares that rather than pay
this rate, his people will go down
the Missouri river in steamboats,.
The proposition is to charter the
Chester and other boats from the
Kansas City Navigation company,
and as many steamers from st.
Louis as necessary and make the
trip by water instead of rail, at
least as far as St. Louis, when the
1-cent rate given the old soldiers
of both armies by the southern
roads is in effect.
"The plan is perfectly feasible, "
declared Commander Harrison.
"The Kansas City boat line is in
operation now, l understand, If
the river should rise I have been
assured that the Nebraska veterans
would come down on the Missouri

A Notable Session
Legislature Was In Perfect
Harmony With Admins
tratiOn

Atlanta, August l6.-Governor
SIaton's legislative program, with
one or two exceptions, has been
enacted into law. The exceptions
failed of fuIlilment only because
of lack of time. They can easily
wait until next year, when it is
predicted they will be handled in
accordance with the governors
suggestion. Not in many years
past has constructive admlnlstra-
ton been so completely in har-
monv with a constructive legis!a-
ture.
Virtually every general bill
passed by the legislature was ad
vocated or approved by the COVER
nor. Most of them were strictly
speaking administration measures.
1t is the first time since factional
politics on existing lines began
that governor has been ali to
get the legislature to work in such
complete accord with him.
The following specific admins
tration measures were among the
most important which went
through: A curb on extravaganza
appropriations, tax reform, an in
heritauce tax, doubled corporation
tax, permanent registration law,
add ;, blue sky law.
Perhaps Governor Slaton's hard
est hghC was on approprlaUiollo'
Knowing that the state treasury
was nerrly a million dollars in the
hole, he refused from the start to
recommend a single new or in
creased expenditure. TO all APP
peals, he stated simply that the
money would first have to be pro-
vided, before 1T could be appro-
priated.
Governor Slaton is not man
who is given to threats and bluffs
In none of his communications did
he deal in other than courteous
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-08-18

language, eschewing all that sug-
gested the big stick or the big "l''
However he did not hesitate to
say on proper occasions candidly
and firmly that his oath of office
would not permit him to approve
an appropriation sheet carrying
more than thu prospective revenues
The result is in brief that the
states financial condition has bet ID
re-established on a healthy basis,
and that the present legislature
will go down in local history as
one of the most constructive in
this generation. The states whole
fiscal system has been put for the
first time on a sound businC s
basis.
The splendid results of the re-
cent session have necessarily added
much to Governor Slaton's popu-
larity. Governor olaton is stand
ing for a business administration,
a business administration without
quotation marks.
