Clark explained that Mexican had delivered

to meet him at deserted adobe house a few

pointment and had just returned from it.
Shaw, he said, had told him a very surprising

Black Jack had planned to hold up the Santa

Ducks and other varieties of waterfowl were
decreasing in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac
River country when Uncle Sam contaminated
the migratory bird treaty with Canada, an
agreement which protected bird life and has
increased waterfowl population along the At
lantic Coast very measurably. The restricted
open season, the prevention of Springtime
shooting and the prohibition of the commercial
sale of migratory game birds lave Matched out
this achievement. Rats of canvasbacks con-
tanning from 10000 to 100000 birds have been
spotted and scored by Government biologists
along the Potomac River since the enactment
of that treaty. On one occasion total of more
than 100000 waterfowl was surveyed on the
Potomac.
Canvasbacks and redheads which previously
were beginning to signal a paucity, are now
