from those who have that there is no
more impressive living thing than ah
eagle In the air.
Well, there are not many American
eagles left. Civilization has crowueu
out what II hasn't killed of. Put
gun In the hands of the ordinary man
and give him a chance at an eagle ana
30 times out of hundred the or
binary man will shoot. Whyf APP
parently just for the sake of killing
That's what a guns for and that 3
the way the ordinary man is made
The writer expects to have 1t brought
up TO his credit on the judgment day
that he once had such chance ana
didn't shoot.
Most of the American eagles that
are left are In Alaska. And now In
Alaska the ordinary men are killing
of the American eagle for the sake
of a fifty-cent bounty. And the Unit
ed States government which governs
the Territory of Alaska. is In effect
paying this bounty.
Naturally. there is protest against
this most surprising state of things.
]. II. Davis. secretary of The publicity
committee of the American Museum
Of Natural History, New York city,
sends out a protest In which he says:
"Much has been written in depreca-
ton of the permitted determination of
the wild pigeon. Formerly found In
almost incredible numbers In some
parts Of the United States, the SPECIES
was utterly wiped out by unrestricted
shooting and the destruction of its
nests. And so rapid was the process
Of Its extinction that the bird had
vanished before the public realized its
need Of protection.
"A similar fate now imminently
threatens the American or bald eagle
Our national emblem and one of the
most beautiful and magnificent of our
native birds. And by a curious irony,
=. the destruction is being accomplished
at public expense, as provided In the
bounty law passed by the territorial
legislature of Alaska on April 80,
1917.
-The bald eagle has never been an
abundant species. Estimates of its
numbers have generally been greatly
exaggerated. 1t Is only on the basis
of the occupied nests that its real
Inumbers-or rather its real scarcity
can be estimated. Computations based
on observations Of the birds them
lselves are obviously unreliable. For,

and by IT'S preference for coast regions
and large rivers over remote forests
and mountains. II Is very spt to at

Of the Portsmouth naval prison
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1920-05-14

"The general Indifference TO the fate
Of the great bird of splendid tradi-
ton is due, beyond doubt, to the COM
mon lack of information regarding Its
threatened extinction. The situation
calls for the widest publicity. The
sheer vandalism of the destruction OF
the bird should be checked, and check
ed at once. The crusade for Its pro-
lection should enlist the enthusiasm
and sincere effort of bird lovers and
bird students throughout the coun-
try, of our scientific and patriotic so
cieties, and of the public press. 1t Is
only by the prompt passage Of a fed
eral law protecting the American
eagle that our national bird can be
saved from total extinction"
Let me renew the adjuration Of
Capt. Fl. w. Shoemaker Of Pennsyl-
vanla to do what you can to stop the
slaughter of American eagles along
the Alaska coast. a writer says In the
Saturday Evening Post. By reason of
the government bounty offer 800
eagles were killed In eighteen months.
This is an absolutely unnecessary
waste of life.
Eagles have killed some of the
young foxes on one or two fox pre-
serves on Alaska islands, though they
have never destroyed the wild foxes
of Alaska In all the centuries they
have lived together.
4 Eagles do kill few salmon and eat
a few that are found dead, by,t In no
wise do they imperil any salmon fish
cry. They may kill rabbits now and
again. but In no sense have they been
destroyers of wild game. For the
most part they hang along the coast
and live on fish life. A dead whale
lasts them long while.
There is no reason. on earth why
these bald eagles-of that species
which we have been proud TO call the
bird of freedom, of that species which
we have put on our coinage and our
seal-should be destroyed under
bounty offered by any branch of the
American government.
II was Capt. Shoemaker, by the way.
who so far as | know was the first
man TO put into print the belief that
the best protection of game did not
consist In any officious war upon the
enemies of the game on the part Of
man himself. Capt. Shoemaker's con-
illusions were that under the old laws
Of nature the strong specimens sur
vived and that the best development
of any species was In the midst of its
natural enemies. His theory, bolster
ed by observation. is entirely against
the modern proposition that you can
save quail or grouse by killing crows
or hawks. or that you can save trout
by killing pelicans.
1t is but a feeble defense that wild
game can erect out of Its increasing
knowledge of man and his deadliness.
The mallard learns to dive in three
feet of water instead of six inches and
so uses more open water. but he is not
safe. The covey Of quail learns TO fly
to the densest swamp on the covey
rise, but II is not safe. The sheep 20
to the highest mountains. the elk to
the farthest Businesses Of the noun
tains, but they are not safe. Trans
portation and invention on the part
OF man have outrun all the resources
of our wild game. So It comes simply
to a question of whether we want IL
o. don't want Il.

In fast and well played game on

school defeated Nampa Thursday af-
ternoon by score 81 A fair crowd
attended. Only seven inning were
played.
Robb of Nampa opened the game
with three Dagger but his team
mates failed to score him and he was
later caught off the bag, Caldwell
thus pulling out of bad hole.
The first ball pitched by Johnson
of Nampa, was hit by Bryant, the To-
cal schools best hitter, for three bas-
es and he later scored on a pass ball
Three more runs were annexed in
the third, and four in the fifth, as
result of heavy hitting and two errors

Nampa also smashed circuit clout.

CALDWELL COPS
FROM MERIDIAN
Nampa Downs Boise, Thus Ty-
ing Alfalfa Loop League
Clubs
Standing OF the clubs.

BY combination OF every conceiv-
able form Of baseball and by gener-
GUS support on the part OF the UNI
pres, Caldwell handily won a baseball
game from Meridian before SILVER
ing crowd here Sunday afternoon. The
score was 1919.
caldwell began early. After dis
posing of Meridian in one, two, three
order, the locals proceeded to gather
III few. Before Meridian realized
that they were trying to play baseball
a combination OF five hits, one walk
and an error netted Caldwell five
runs, all earned. That lead was en-
ough to insure winning the game and
Cornelrs cohorts were never in dan
ger.
Siffert Gets Home Run.
In the fifth, Meridian fans had their
only opportunity to vent their enthus-
iasm when Siffert, following a clean
bingle and two i'll timed free trips to
the first hassock, lifted groove ball
over the left field fence. Without a
contrary wind, the hit would un-
doubleday have been one of the long
est seen at Recreation Park. AS it
was, the ball sailed high over the
fence and Siffert, who played third
base for Caldwell last summer and
whose hitting is always dangerous,
rompcd home, proceeded by three
baserunners. The rally was short
lived, the next three batters falling
easy prey to Caldwell fielders on high
flies.
In the main, runs for both teams
came as the result of clean hitting,
IA times off Snider, while Koontz
yielded Meridian hitters 10 safe ones.
Caldwell is credited with three errors
while Meridian bobbled no less than
five times.
In Nampa. DOC" Joyner handed
Boise shut out, his team mates run
ming in three scores in the second in
ming, all the runs that the game pro-
duced. Sundays two games tie each
team in the league, each having won
and lost one game of the two played.
Next Sunday, Caldwell plays Nam
pa at Nampa while Meridian battles
Boise. Ontario and Wilder are still
clamoring at the gates anxious to get
into the league.
