AMERICANS MAKING
 AFRICAN PROGRESS

Washington, January 21.--(Special) Despite the relatively small white population in South Africa large quan- titles of electrical goods are purchased, chiefly because of the requirements at the mines, says Trade Commissioner R. A. Lundquist in special report on the South African market for electrical goods, just published by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the department of commerce. The figures in the trade commissioners report show that in the year 1919 South Africa imported more than $5,000,000 worth of electrical and allied materials. Be- fore the war Germany was an import ant factor in the market. Since the beginning of hostilities in 1914 very substantial gains have been made by the United States. On the whole the trade commissioner is optimistic as to the future of American trade in this field. Founded in 18S6. and until 20 years ago little more than a mining camp, Johannesburg is today a modern city, with many buildings of five, six and seven stories in the business dis trict. With the mining companies of the Transvaal buying about $67,S7S,146 worth of all kinds of machinery, sup plies, etc, in 1918 all the important business houses in the country have establishments in Johannesburg and carry heavy stocks. This city is the logical selection for American manu- lecturers of electrical goods, who con- template establishing a representative in the South African market. says Lundquist. who calls attention to the fact that prior to the war German manufacturers had their own branch houses. with stocks in Johannesburg One large American electrical manu- facturer has done this. and it Is the practice of the strongest British firms, five or six such branches being estab- lished

BISON HERDS ARE
 PROLIFIC GROWTH
 CREATES PROBLEM
ErstWhiIe "Pitiful Group" of Hundred In Yellowstone Has Become of Huge Total.

Washington. January 21.--(SpeciaL) Although a few years ago slaughter of even few bison would have been deeped a national calamity, the bio- logical survey of the United States de- partment of agriculture will make no definite effort to stop the proposed shooting of a considerable number of these animals on the privately owned Antelope island in Great Salt Lake, announced in news dispatches.
 While regretting the announced de- cision of the owner of the herd to turn the fine animals over to sports men at $200 head, Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the biological survey. does not I find it expedient to curtail other and more necessary game preservation measures by seeking congressional appropriation to buy this, herd at the owners price, bill to purchase the l island and animals for s300000 was recently introduced by Congressman Yelling of Utah.
 DARK DAYS PASS
 The dark day of the bison has passed" said pr. Nelson, reyertng to the time not many years ago when the prin cipal remnant of the countless herds that once roamed this continent consisted of pitiful group of less than 100 in Yellowstone National park. where they were prey to poachers be- cause of inefficient protective laws. "As a matter of fact. with the pres ent rate of increase. it may become problem in few years how we shall care for the buffalo on the national preserves It would be desirable for the government to own the Antelope
 island herd, but there are other and more urgent uses for the money. would much rather it were spent to buy additional rangeland north and south of Yellowstone park for the sus- tenance of the elkS which find insuffi- cient feed within the grounds
 HERD INCREASES
 Statistics of the American Bison so- ciety~ show that on January l. 1920. there were 3.393 captive and wild buff falo in the United States, of which 1,032 were under the direct protection of the federal government. The rate at which the animals are coming back may be partially realized from the fact that the January 1, 1921, figures give 29S buffalo on the national bison range at Noise, Mont, while recent figures show 336. The nucleus of this herd was 40 buffalo in 1909.
 The leader is Kalispell Chief, fine old veteran. who has maintained the primacy of the herd through the years. This herd is under the protection of the biological survey as are also 61 animals at Wind Cave, s. D., seven at Sullys Hill, N. D.. and 2S at Niobrara, Neb. Of the other buffalos under gov ernment protectionj the January, 1920, figures give 21 in the National Zoo- logical park at Washington, six on the Pisga game preserve, N. C., three on the Platt National park, Okla, 119 on the Wichita National forest, Okla. and 502 in Yellowstone National park. There were 4S9 buffalo calves born in the United States in 1919.
