er's whole letter breaths the spirit of
vindictiveness. If he had the public
good in mind he would at least have
had the fairness to make his charges
at an earlier date so they could be
answered. Evidently it is time to
prevent an answer. The statements
that I have made IN connection with
this Morris school matter are true
and Mr.. Spooner knows it. The
balacne of his letter is a mere
matter of abuse.

The Last Of the Buffalo
nY EpwARp T. TAY1oR

BY EDWARD L. TAYLOR
All my life I have been a very
great admirer of the buffalo. When
was small boy 1 lived for several
years at my fathers cattle ranch on
the plains Of western Kansas. There
were hundreds Of thousands Of bison
In ths4 country at that time from
1910 to 1874 and l used to rope the
buffalo calves. Ny father sent several
pair Of them to the various parks Of
Chicago. Cincinnati and other places.
We raised quite . little bunch of
them with our cattle. They are noble
animals Of which l have always been
fond. At the present time the only
line collection of pure bison in the
world, or ut least the best one, Is at
Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and is
known IS the scotty Phillips herd of
buffalo. Of about 500 head. They are
pure bred fine specimens and there
are about 100 calves this spring. Mr..
Phillips died several years ago and
understand his heirs desired to dis
pose of his herd and close the estate.
Unless they are purchased by the
government or somebody within
some reasonable time that the an
finals or many of them may be butch
cred. They can butcher and sell
them for more than the price the
parks will pay but the owners natu-
rally want to see them preserved.
They hold them at $3.50 head. The
demand from the various geological
gardens and parks is only for small
number for each place which a.
mount to comparatively little. South
Dakota purchased n head last spring
and placed them in Blak Hills. The
state paid $3.50 head for them.
A number of public spirited citi-
zens turnout the country have con-
templated making purchase of the
entire herd and presenting them to
the government of the United States.
That would certainly be . very patri-
otto and noble thing to do. And II the
United States government does not
buy that buffalo herd 1 certainly
hope some admirer of the buffalo
will do so, because 1t would be the
most colossal loss and grievous
mistake OF his entire generation II
the Americans allow that herd Of
pure bison to be slaughtered. 1t
might result In the determination OF
the noble species.
