Chicago June 26.--It was because
Chicago is the interior gateway of the
tide of European immigration, that
the immigrant protective association
succeeded in securing an appropria-
ton from congress for the building of
an immigrant station here. The sta
ton is to be used as a clearing house
SO the immigrants will have better
means for finding their friends, or
relatives, or reaching their final des-
ltination point, instead of falling into
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS persons at
the railroad stations. The larger
part Of the 11,800,000 immigrants who
have sought homes in the northwest,
west and southwest, between 1900 and
1912, have passed through Chicago.

Federal Bird Regulations
Soon to Be Ready for Public

hunters of this country and it is
against this prohibition that a great
deal of opposition is expected.
1T is mo- to be assumed that the BIZ
Iological survey will have completed its
work under the Weeks-McLean bill,
once this new code is In operation.
Under the terms Of the measure, the
survey is given permanent charge OF
all the insectivorous birds in the
country and will have them under it's
care year after year. AS more and
more data is secured, new regulations
will be formulated and old ones
changed until as comprehensive a
system for protective laws as is pos
bic has been secured.
One future project In which the Of
icials of the survey are beginning to
interest themselves lis the creation OF
a special corps OF federal game
WaTdens for the enforcement OF the
bird laws. The Weeks-McIlean bill
appropriated only $40, 900 for the car
|rying out OF its provisions, and the
government must depend upon the
various states to put the new regnla-
Itions into operation.
In some future session, congress will
be asked to make appropriations for
this purpose, 1T is expected, and the
federal government then will be able
Ito work in conjunction with the states
|in Its protective campaign.
Another important project which
the biologists have in view In connec-
ton with this work lis the increase in
the number OF bird reservations and
refugees. AIT the present time, there
are fifty-six Of these reservations
scattered about the country. IA NUM-
Iberaof them are national parks where
shooting is prohibited, Others are for
est tracts that have been set apart
d few are but refugees where the feath-
cred travellers ma rest undisfurbed
on their periodical flights

opportunity of criticizing the plan to
afford widespread protection to all in-
sectivorous and migratory birds in the
country.
