pose came out Of the revenues OF
the District Of Columbia, and subse-
quent purchases have been treated
in the same way. From the begin
ming to the present time the title has
been vested in the United States and
the management has been under the
Smithsonian Institution, although
the District still pays one-hali of its
expenses.
This injustice, which Is only one OF
many the people OF the National
Capital have to suffer, was realized
by some Of the members of Congress
when the initial appropriation bill
was under decision, and at this time
Representative James Buchanan Of
New Jersey, in opposing the idea,
said:
you might just as well say that
the people Of the District, when they
wander down the aisles OF the Ma
tional Museum and see there those
magnificent groups which Prof
Hornaday has mounted, and mount
ed with all the excellence Of the
taxidermist's art until they almost
rival nature itself, should pay one
half Of the expense"
Other members OF Congress voiced
the same sentiments, and the people
Of the District of Columbia still feel
it Is rank injustice that they should
be called upon to help finance what
Is clearly Federal project.

OF country such tract of land, of not
more than 100 acres, which shall in
clude a section Of the creek, as said
commission shall deem to be suitable
and appropriate for a geological
park. ="
In the House. In urging the bill,
Representative Knute Nelson made
these remarks:
and I may say, indeed, about
the only gentleman I have talked with
Is a man who Is interested in this
from a purely scientific standpoint
refer to Mr.. Hornaday Of the Smith
sonian observation-disclosures me that
all that IS contemplated and all that
is desired Is 121 acres. It has nothing
OF the element of speculation about
it. 1t is to establish geological gar
den for the benefit Of the great body
OF our people who visit this city and
for no other purpose"
D. B. Henderson, later Speaker OF
the House, stated:
MIR. Hornaday of the Smithsonian
Institution, who has given this matter
great deal Of attention, has urged
this matter upon our attention"
Later, in speaking favorably OF the
proposition, the same gentleman said !:
"The first parties that agitated the
question of geological park or gar
den In this city were gentlemen con-
nected with the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, and the central figure among
them was Mr. Hornaday, very in
telligent gentleman, man OF large
experience, who spent much time in
the jungles Of Africa and In other
places, and felt a patriotic interest
in preserving the remaining animals
of this country.
He came before the Committee on
Appropriations with the PROPOSE
ton -"
IN ADVOCATING the bill, Repre-
sentative Charles S. Baker of New
York said of Mr.. Hornaday:
I'VE have here, moreover, the talent,
the knowledge and the energy of Mr..
Hornaday, which are to be given to
this garden If it is established. I have
known him for many years. and I
know that he possesses intelligence,
experience and capacity that would
be very valuable in connection with
an institution Of this kind"
And so it can be clearly seen that
Mr.. Hornaday played major part In
having enacted into law the National
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1937-05-09

One thousand dollars an acre was
the approximate price paid for the
land.
It was not long after the park site
was acquired that the animals were
moved there, the elephant Dunk"
being among the first, he being flrst
quartered there on April 20, 1891, and
the park was opened to the public
some time during that Summer.
A T FIRST there was need for but
few employees, and even by 1892
there were only eight employees &C
credited to the park, not including
laborers and workmen. These in
cluded the following: Dr. Frank Ba-
ker, acting manager of the park; A.
B. Baker, property clerk; F. D. Beall,
clerk engaged in accounts; J. G..
Traylor, stenographer; H. NJ Pollock,
messenger; w. H. Blackburn, keeper
of animals; w. v. Kramer, watch
man, and j. H. Anderson, foreman in
charge of laborers. BY 1897 the num-
Der of employees had increased to 36.
Joseph H. Koran and W. c. Weeden
were also among the first employees.
1t may not be generally known but
it Is q fact nevertheless that when
the area now included in the park
was purchased. one-half Of the
amount appropriated for this pur-

Geological Park. over which he served
but short while
Naturally there should be several
versions Of the origin OF the park
and different statements made regard
ing the early collection of animals
once exhibited back of the Smith
sonian Building. Mr.. Hornaday's own
statement regarding these important
incidents, Is printed in The Star of
June 2, 1888, in an interview he
gave at that time in which he said:
THE idea originated by studies we
taxidermists were making preparatory
to mounting some specimens. We found
that the live animals could be studied
and attitudes attained from minute
daily observations that would be i'm
possible to get by artificial means,
so several OF the specimens we needed
were obtained. These were followed
by others, until it has grown to what
you see. In few years, at the
present rate at which animals are
being killed in the West, many of
the representatives of American ami
mails will be entirely extinct. In my

This information Is then handed to

A NY day now, the Washington bust
ness man may lift his telephone
receiver and be greeted with the
following:
Good morning, Mr. Blank This
is Mr.. Thompson, managing editor of
the - Review. One of my staff
writer's has just turned in a rather
commendatory editorial on your recent
-, and would like to read it to you
to check up on the details that is, if
you have time to listen. If not, I will
call you later.
Mr.. Blank certainly has time, and
he assures his caller he will listen
attentively.
He then hears a eulogy on himself
which lifts him into seventh heaven,
and he almost slithers of his swivel
chair in ecstasy. He is now firmly
convinced, should anything happen
to him, it will be the community's
loss. you might laugh and say you
could not possibly ne taken in with such
a line, but the writer has seen proof
positive of senators, governors, judges
and nationally known bankers having
swallowed the bait, so don't feel too
badly if, perhaps. you might already
have fallen for it,
This little story really calls for
a photograph, Mr.. Blank" cheerfully
lies the solicitor or salesman. but,
unfortunately. we go to press this
afternoon and we'll have to run the
story without it. However, l have
decided to publish it on our editorial
page, as it really deserves a preferred
position" every page is an editorial
page in this publication.)
Mr.. Blank is then asked if he would
like to make any corrections, and he is
flabbergasted. The salesman has not
suffered a single interruption. Perfect

opinion this Is a matter that needs
attention, or many Of the most valua-
BILE species will be gone, leaving no
trace behind them"
THE bill providing for the park be-
came law in March, 1889, and
eight months later the commission
designated by Congress made its re-
port, respecting which The Star of
November Is, 1889, in part, said:
"As stated in The Star, Secretary
Noble, Commissioner Douglass and
Prof. Langley, the committee charged
with selecting and purchasing the
land for the proposed Geological Park,
With their attorney, ex-Commissioner
Webb, called on the President Friday
and handed in their report, with a
map from which the accompanying
diagram was made, showing the pro-
posed plan of the park. The Presi-
dent showed a great deal Of interest
in the report, and there is little doubt
he will approve it when he sends it
to Congress. The appropriation for
the purpose was included in the Dis

trict appropriation bill which was
passed last March. The bill pro-
vided for the expenditure of 100000
to establish . geological garden, which
was to be located In Rock Greek VAL
ley between Massachusetts, avenue ex-
tended and the old Military road
leading west from Brightwood, and to
contain not less than 100 acres.
1.-THE site finally decided upon was
practically the same as that originally
recommended to Congress. The Com
missioners viewed the whole region
within the limits with the utmost care
and walked over 1t all from Woodley
lane to Military road"
4 T THIS time The Star also gave
the names OF those whose prop
erty had been acquired and the num-
Der OF acres secured from each one,
as follows.

 Others in the party included Mrs. Nichols, Marie Nichols ard three army aides.

She brought down the big gest bear, a fine brownie that measured 8 feet 10 inches, un- stretched" declared Captain Nichols Of our other trophies, I bagged one and Sergeant w. w. Harrington brought down the other. His was a fair-sized bear also, measuring about a foot less than my daughters" Captain Nichols was modest about. his own bag.
 Captain Nichols and the Ser geant got their brownies at Chalk Bay, while Miss Nichols bageed hers at Pybus Bay. She drilled it through the heart with one shot," Captain Nichols said. It ran about 100 yards back into the brush before dropping.
 Tt was her first shot at a bear, but she is marksman! She has captured several honors in post and interport shooting competi- tions this year, and now has prov ed her aim at a live target. Mrs. Nichols doesn't shoot, she just went along to pilot the boat"

 A good looking young woman is held by authorities for ques- tioning.
 The doctor passed away on the operating table of a hospital in Providence. He was undergoing an operation for wounds in his stomach and in one of his shoul- ders. After having suffered the wounds at his home, he dragged himself through two rooms to a telephone to call the police sta tion.
