and to maintain them! Amy one WHO
has visited the bison in our national
reservations will agree that II they
were maintained in seni-domesti'
Gated state they could be treated III
the same manner as range cattle. pro-
vided they were inclOsed. The cost
of building suitable fencing Nigh,
prove an obstacle in many cases. but
1t should not prove insuperable. IN
view Of the high price of beef. AS II
beef animal the value Of the bison Is
well worth the careful consideration
of our agricultural authorities. In All
dition it provides robe of proven
value In more n0rtherly states I'M"
provinces. Not the least of the ad-
vantages Of the bison over domestic
cattle is their ability to rustic for
themselves In winter and under cli'
matte conditions which prove hard
ship to our introduced cattle"
OF course the plains Indians prac-
tically lived off the buffalo; the animal
was food, clothing and shelter to them.
But the crime Of the wanton destruc.
ton of the buffalo lies at the door Of
the white man. Why. the passengers
used to empty their rifles into the
herds as the trains sped over the
plains. Thousands of animals were
killed simply for the tongue, says Mr.
Hewitt in this connection.
with the coming Of the railroads
through the West and an increased
demand for buffalo robes, the butch
cry of the still hunt began. Other
methods were too slow for the COM
mercial hunter who must kill hun
lreds Of bison In order to realize on
pelts worth but from 65 cents to ~
apiece. The still hunter approached
the herd to within 100 to 25O yards aud
proceeded with great deliberation to
shoot down the animals without
stampeding them. Their leader. usual.
~ the oldest COW. was first disposed
of, and then the others slaughtered
one by one. One or two shots min.
ute could be fired. and with good luck
a hundred bison killed from one
stand SO that one hunter was able
to account for from 1000 to 5000 head
a season.
1.-THE miles Of bones eventually gave
rise to traffic which became relmtln-
erative as there grew up demand
for phosphate for fertilizers and bone
black for refining sugar. In 1874 the
SAINT Fe railroad alone shipped near.
~ 100000 pounds of bones. which
brought as much as $18 ton crushed.
"Time will not efface the trace Of
the bison's occupation Of the cont.
nent." Mr.. Hewitt says. "They blaze,'
the trails that later became important,
highways. The bison selected the
route through the Alleghenies by
which the white man entered and
took possession of til. Mississippi
valley. They found the best routes
across the continent. and human In.
tercourse will move. constantly In
paths first marked by the buffalo. II
Is interesting that the bison found the
strategic passageways through the
mountains. marked out the most
practical paths between the heads OF
our rivers-paths that are closely fol-
lowed today by the Pennsylvania, Bal
timOre & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio.

Efforts of the American and Canadi-
an governments to save the bison
which was slaughtered almost TO the
point of extermination-are described
By c. Gordon Hewitt in Natural His
tory. the Official magazine Of the mu-
scum Of that name. Mr.. Hewitt IL
actively engaged in the salvage. as
consulting ge0logist to the Ottawa
Commission of Conservation. He says
the manner in which the total loss
OF this magnificent animal has been
prevented should all with hope and
confidence all who are trying to con-
serve wild life.
There were literally myriads Of
buffalo in the old days and their hah-
itat originally covered nearly all Of the
North American continent. Even as
late as 1871 there was seen migrating
across the plains wedge-shaped herd

fewer than 100000 head.
DR.. William T. Hornaday. director
Of the New York Geological park, says
in q pamphlet that the original range
started almost ut tide water on the
Atlantic coast, extended westward
through dense forest, across the Al.
legheny mountain system to the Mis-
sissippi prairies. and southwark to
the delta. Although the plains cOun.
try Of the West was the home of the
species, where 1t flOurished most
abundantly. it wandered south toward
Texas, westward across the Rocky
Mountains into New Mexico. Utah and
Idaho, and northward across vast
treeless waste to the inhospitable
shores Of the Great Slave Lake. The
vast herds seemed to clothe the prair-
les with a coat of brown.
George Catlin. In book in 1892,
said from 10000 to 100000 robes were
marketed annually, which meant the

mont bore witness to the appalling de-
struction.
The death knell Of the bison was
struck when Union Pacific construc.
ton began In 1896. Previously the
difficulties of marketing served as u
slight check on the rate of extermina-
tion. This railroad divided the orig.
inal body into southern and northern
herds. HOrnaday estimates that in
1871 the southern herd contained g..
100000 animals, though most estimates
give higher total. Between 1871 and
1875 the great southern herd was
wiped out Of existence.
Final slaughter of the northern herd
was inaugurated by the opening of
the Northern Pacific in 1880. when the
half-breeds Of Manitoba. the Plains
Cree of Qu'Appelle and the Blackfeet
Of South Saskatchewan swept bare
a great belt of country stretching east
and west between the Rocky Noun

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

The Seward Gateway, under the caption of What Heron Is For" published the following editorial last Saturday, since which time the Anchorage character assassin has had 8 wonderful awakening from his dream:
 Charles B. HCrrOn, candidate for national commit }eman, is not g. good politician. Saturday night Seward was flooded with copies of the Anchorage Times, Herron's newspaper MT Her ron sets for his aims, if elected.
 First Heron is for Heron, first last and all of the time. He says so in the newspaper.
 Heron is a politician, he admits it 5.nd says that he has made a of his money in politics. He says so in his newspaper.
 Besides being first for Heron, Heron admits that there is nothing in Alaska that will not be his, if he is elected. Heron says so in his newspapers he has had distributed in Seward.
 Heron wants everything, the peo- pie be gol darned.
 Then when Heron gets what he wants, he will next pay and give at tention to Anchorage. Heron says so in his newspaper. Most of the stuff is under the signature of Her. ron. Therefore Heron gives full warning what the people can expect if he is elected. It is Heron first, mind you, then Anchorage, second. Just think, aside from Heron and Anchorage, there is no Alaska.
 This kind of talk may be all right in Anchorage, but what will people elsewhere in this vast territory think Of Heron and his published aims?
 Remember, if Heron is elected, | there are no people, everything is Her. ron. If you doubt this read what | Heron says in his newspaper, the Anchorage Times.
 Heron also says that if Hazelet is l elected a delegate to the Republican national convention, the navy will use Boring river coal. My, my-this dele gate to a Republican convention is some big noise. Just think if Haze let is elected, Matanuska coal will | not be used by the navy. But Heron forgets that the navy is now practi- cally in charge of the Matanuska | coal fields and there has not and will not be a peep about the Boring river coal, which was turned down by the navy department years ago.
 It is just politics, you know, with the exception of the self-confession that if Heron is elected national com nitteeman, he is going to be Alaska.
 This is up to the people at the polls tomorrow.
 Remember tomorrow is the Terri 1 torial primary The polls will be open in the town hall from 8 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the evening. There are o contests among the Democrats, so go to the polls and ask for a Republican primary ballot, and vote. And remember Heron If he is elected you are nowhere-l Heron is the whole Alaska territory.

Musical Notes

Since the beginning of the world war in 1914 there have been more American musicians to make their bow to the American public than ever before nkown. This is proof that as fine teachers as are in the world can be found today in our own great country.
 Two years ago Joseph Hoffman played on his program compositions by an unknown musician. Micheal Dvorsky, said to be living then in Spain. Now it develops Micheal Dvorsky is no less person than Joseph Hoffman himself. Mr. Hoff- man is modest musician and it was his desire that these composi- tions sell on their own merits and not on his reputation.
