rent suddenly dfved, coming up an instant later
with the young bird still clinging to his back and
apparently enjoying the thrill.
Two days after our visit the complacent scene
changed. New York and Paris had announced
that grebe skins would be considered fashionable
hat At once the increased demand
and the chance for immense profits sent crowds
of ranchmen, farmers, and professional hunters
into the grebe district, and thousands of birds
were shot down In short order. Two hunters
within a week turned lower klamath lake into a
pool Of gore and carnage.
For the backwoods inhabitants of these two
states the new style was as good as a gold mine.
The hunters were allowed rs cents for each skin,
and consequently could easily average twenty or
thirty dollars a day, while the farmers could go
out before breakfast and earn as much as a
weeks toll on the land would net. When at the
end of some months the professional hunters,
realizing that the grebes must soon become ex-
tinct, tried to regulate the traffic and stop the
slaughter during the breeding season, the farmers
neglected the restraining order, and. as the fash
ionable women, ignorant Of the suffering caused
by their whim, maintained the ever-growing de-
mand, all attempts at protection soon disap-
peared and the species fast began to die out.
