COMMISSIONER RETURNS
FROM VISIT TO ISLAND.

Wild turkeys and squirrels are
strangely missing from the wild lie
of Blackboard island, where, said
Charles S. Arrow. state game and fish
commissioner, the cattle are so timid
that they can hear you think half
the length Of the island"
In commenting on his inspection
trip of the new state game and bird
preserve, Mr.. Arrow gave many in
teresting facts. He declared his pur-
pose to stock the island with wild
turkeys and squirrels, the conditions
food of both. In discussing the situa-
ton as he found it, Mr.. Arrow said:
Deer are much more numerous on
the island than | had expected, it be
ing estimated that no less than 500
are roaming its acres. The island is
the home of literally thousands of
rabbits and we will have to take
steps later to reduce their number, for
they increase so rapidly that they are
a menace.
'''NNcN''e'f
cause this animal is destructive to
bird life, particularly the nests and
young, it will likely be necessary to
take steps to prevent their increase
Hickory and liveoak trees furnish a
food supply for squirT6ls and sun1c

fortunate in not having wildcats, pos
sums or skunks on Blackboard All
are destructive to bird life.
Blackboard island is ideal for the
purpose of bird and game preserve
1t is remote from human habitation
its desirability. human beng can
not land on it without leaving trace
and the shore margins make it easy
to protect. We expect trouble for a
while with negroes from Sapelo
island. They have been in the Gus
tom of visiting the island for years
there. The custodian, M. f. Boisclear
who remained on Blackboard, has
been instructed to break up this prac-
tce.
Cattle on the island, owned by the
United States government, probably
will not exceed sixty head They are 50

one-half the length of the island, and
it is impossible TO get near enough to
one to distinguish it's color or flesh
marks.
at having rained in the evening
and far into the night preceding my
inspection of the island, conditions
were ideal for making observations
Evidences of wild life were numerous

pair of doves and covey of quail is
reported to inhabit the island. There
are no bears there, and, while the
island is said to be infested with rat

sins, | saw none.
The residents of Darien and Of
Mcintosh county are much interested
in the creation Of this game preserve
and have agreed to cooperate with
our department in preventing tres
passing and reporting any probable
invasion by pochers."

Bayliss after being shot was in a Semi-conscious state, and was able to give only a vague account of the hold-up. After recovering sufficiently to be able 10 walk he continued on foot to Mayer, and was picked up after travelling for over three miles. He has a supposi- ton of who is guilty, but the person accused was able to prove an alibi. No have been made, accordingly and the vicious criminal will prob ably escape. Nothing is known of the family connections of Bayliss. He had been in that section for a few months and Is quite we'll known in Prescott and Jerome.
