GAME REFUGE |S
 SUCCESS IN WEST
Forest Servce Cites Examples of How Deer Consregate on Pro-
 tected Areas

ALBUQUERQUE. N. M Dec. l6.- The theory that wild deer will quickly recognize and take advantage of areas protected against hunting is confirmed by a report just received by the dis trict forester here from Chas. H. Jen- nings, forest supervisor of Alamo -oruo. According to the report NJ L. C3dWallader less than a year ago, posted and started to patrol a large pasture in the Sacramento mountains against hunting. The deer at once Hooked Co the pasture. and according 10 the local ranger. it now contains more deer than all the rest of his dis trict
 The instance is said to be valuable in that it confirms the theory of the game refuge now before congress. which au- thOriZes the establishment of system of protected areas throughout the na- tioual forests of the entire west. The theory of the plan is that game will find refuge in the protected areas. where it will increase and overflow into the surrounding country. thereby improving the hunting outside. The refuges will also afford a means for preventing the exterminatiOn of rare species like mountain sheep and ante lope and it is claimed will relieve the present shortage of buck deer
 The national game refuge bill. based on what is known as the Hornaday plan, failed of passage at the last ses- sion of congress, in spite of wide spread popular support It is said that every game protective association and almost every chamber of commerce and stockmen's association officers are hoping that 1t will be enacted into law by the present congress so that the work of establishing a system of game refuges can go forward
