THE BIG GAME CENSUS IS
TAKEN BY FOREST SERVICE

Wall G. Barnes, assistant u. S. for
ester, in forwarding The Sun a sum-
mary Of the big game animals of the
United States, gives the following in
teresting figures which have been
worked up since 1921. He says:
"A brief review Of the 1923 figures
show increases in deer in Arizona,
Florida, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico
and Washington, all of which are due
primarily to a closer estimate by our
men who are becoming more familiar
and expert with this phase of their
work. Idaho shows an increase OF
about 2,200 elk due also to closer es-
timates, while Montana shows clear
loss of about 1000 due to an error IN
our figures for 1921 and 1922 wherein
we included elk which are ON the Yei-
lowstone national park for the greater
part of the year, using our forests
only in certain winters when driven
out of the park by deep SHOWS. We
realize that these should be counted as
park animals and not as dependent on
the national forests.
f The total figures for deer, moose
and goats show general increase
mainly due to the inclusion of figures
for Alaska, in the 1923 column, from
which we have not heretofore secured
any reliable estimates. The census
shows for all the national forests over
511 900 deer, $4,000 elk, 1900 moose,
$4,000 mountain goats, and almost
$4,000 mountain sheep. In general
our men believe deer and elk are in
creasing in numbers, with moose,
goat and mountain sheep holding their
own.
California still stands first in the
number Of deer, 187, 1000 head being
found on the national forests in that
state. Oregon comes second with 81
600. Wyoming, as heretofore, has the
largest number of elk, $4,000; Wash
ington, with $500, being second. The
majority of the elk in Washington are
known as the Roosevelt elk, large
number of which are found on the
Olympic national forest.
Excluding Alaska from these fig
ures, Idaho with 3,400 goats and Colo
roda with $500 mountain sheep are at
the head of the list Of those animals.
Colorado for several years past has
paid special attention to the protec-
ton of her mountain sheep in winter
with the natural result that they have
increased rapidly and are found in
large numbers in all the forests in the
state.
Attention might be called to the
fact that not all the large herds OF
deer are found in the far west. New
Hampshire having 10000 head, Mime
sofa over 5000 head and Florida 1,20C
head.
1t should be thoroughly understood
that these figures cover the game ami
mails found only on the national for
ests in the states mentioned and are
not intended to represent the entire
number of any kind of animals in the
particular state.

w. .RUhKE CANDIDATE
FOR STATE SENATOR

Walter Runke has been pursuaded
by friends to become candidate for
state senator on the republican ticket
and announces his candidacy IN this
issue of The Sun.
Mr.. Runke is we'll known through
+ out the cNunty where he has made
his home the greater part of the time
Esince 1901. He first came here in the
Indian service when 21 years OF age
from Wisconsin, his native state, as
an industrial teacher and discipline
alian at Tuba City, where he was
afterwards promoted to the snperirl-
tendancy. He held the position as
superintendent for fourteen years be-
fore resigning from the Indian ser
vice and moving with his family to
Flagstaff,
Mr.. Runke has held many response
Bile espositions in the Indian service and
has many most creditabIe achieve
ments to his credit. He established
| the Indian school at Moccasin on the
| Kaibab reservation in 1906, and
/ when leaving there in 1909, had firm
lily set these Indians on their feet IN
| the cattle business and on the road to
prosperity. He first conceived and
carried out the idea of Indians work.
| ing on local ranches about Flagstaff
and also made it possible to train
many Indian girls for house work.
Both ideas were innovations in the
service and have been great advan-
tage to both the Indians and the
whites in this section of the state.
Mr.. Runke is strongly in favor of
the ratification of the Colorado river
pact, but also believes that there
/ should be an agreement between the
states of California, Nevada and Ari-
zona in order that all rights of A1i-
zona are fully and properly safe
guarded. He stands for strict econ
omy in the administration of state af-
| fairs and is against experimental
/ legislation. He is for a thoroughly
| united county and road program
| that will make this realization.
Mr.. Runke comes from sturdy stock
and is not given to making promises
| to catch votes, but has sincere de-
sire to be of use to his constituents
He is splendidly equipped mentally to
give that service and can be depended
upon to put energy behind his efforts

COOPERATION IS NECES-
SARY TO PROGRESS
William Pickens Tells Social Workers

is full of lessons that teach the folly
of abandoning those wise policies and
sound principles that were born of the
collective experience of man. Some
reason thus: We have to maintain
certain race stock; to maintain that
stock we must segregate, and when
segregation is inconsistent with JUS
tice, we must do injustice. But we
cannot prove the soundness of this
chain of reasoning. Even the first
proposition is mere assumption. For
how do we know that it is the final,
the best, the last and the greatest
thing to maintain any of the race
stocks as we know them today? All
the races as we know them are but
the resultants of former unions COM
binations and crosses.
4. z@If-8arnler -liniensi-have produced
something so excellent, how do we
know that further union may not pro
duce something more excellent still?
But one thing we do know: That we
of the present generation can combine
our talents without uniting our blood.
If we make civilization our common
contribution we will all have more
civilization. God has endowed the hui
man race with more talents than He
gave to any one geographical race.
Our talents vary; our powers may
vary The man of five talents has five
talents and the fruits of five talents;
the man of two talents has two talents
and the fruits of two talents. But if
these two men ever get wise and make
IL common cause, both will enjoy the
fruits of seven talents. The white
American and the black American can
have more civilization through Coop
Grafton than either one could have
alone, whatever their respective tall
ents may be. Segregation in public
and industrial activities and life i'm
plies and breeds contempt and makes
injustice inevitable. The private right
of any citizen in a free country to ex-
clude other private persons from his
private domain will always be main
tained but racial segregation in pub
lie and industrial estates is indefensi-
BILE, politically and economically"

NEW era for Negro business
n opened with quiet certainly on
4 AJune 6, 1924, with the organiza-
tion of the National Negro Finance
Corporation, with an authorized capi-
tai of one million dollars, in New York
City with DIR. r. r. Motion, president
of the National Negro Business League
and principal of Tuskegee Institute, as
president. The prime object of the or
ganization is to encourage Negroes
throughout the United States in open
ing or improving business concerns of
the race.
The immediate and apprecihtive SEN
timent of the Negro public at this pro-
gressive step by a group of our most
successful business men is reflected in
the assertion of the Norfolk Journal
and Guide that "The fact that we have
ten corporations with resources OF
S2O,000,O00 representing withal only
fraction of the wealth of the race, and
that they could organize finance or
ganiZation with capital of $1,OOOO0o
is a significant and gratifying fact
which none of us could have dreamed
as possible at the organization of the
National Negro Business League at
Boston in 1900" The New York Am
sterdam News states that something
constructive. concrete and progressive
threatens to come out of the National
Negro Business League; something as
important and as necessary as the IN
stitution which forms the background
for both" and adds, Associated with
Mr.. Motion are some of the most sue
cessful Negro business men in Amer-
ca-men who have succeeded in two
of the most difficult fields-of endeavor'
banking and insurance" Says the
New York Age, "a practical step has
been taken, under the auspices OF the
National Negro Business League, to
further the development of business
enterprises among the race and so put
info action the doctrine which the
Taapue has advocated since its forma-
ton. This" it continues, us the most
practical and effective way so far pro-
posed to promote the growth OF Dusi-
ness enterprises among the race. Inc
Dallas Express AYERS that 1.-THE nation
will applaud the vision of these capi-
talists and those heads of the Natlonai
Negro Business League who have had
done this latest thing. Its successful
that the hone
of the survival of Negro business ven
tures has been increased by many
fold" And, remarks the Charlotte IN.
C.) Observer, Negroes broadened
their ambition and gave indication of
a growing condition of independence"
A welcome challenge to the business
acumen and the functioning of the
corporation is contained in the editor
ial comment of the Pittsburgh Ameri-
can that "the possibilities and need
are there in corporation Of this ma
ture and it is for the executives Sc
lected TO 1unctiOn 50 thal tihS uhui

nounced for this association, which is
