Game Reduction
Urged to Preserve Herds

bit of annual browse growth on the
winter ranges and in many places
waded deep SHOWS and the cold north
slopes to procure additional food. This
summer there is a noticeable lack of
yearlings in comparison to the Selway
herds. We found seven dead elk in
the small percentage of the total range
we we're able to examine closely.
Happily the winter range conditions
on the Selway do not even approach
those of the South Fork. Our problem
is to increase hunting rapidly enough
so that our herds viii be reduced and
more uniformly distributed. The prob
lem In the South Fork is one of bring
ing back a range 80 to 80 percent de-
stroyed to a semblance of its former
luxur1ance.
Must Reduce Herds
Several Of the 30-odd visitors who
have studied the South Fork during
the last three years are Of the opinion
that the winter range cannot recover
unless at least 80 percent of the present
elk and deer are removed. agree, If
the ranges are to regain anything like
their normal carrying capacities within
a reasonable number of years.
IF any good ever can come of the
South Fork experience, think 1t must
be from the lesson that it gives us
in what not to let happen elsewhere.
There is still time to avert disaster
in the Selway. The low winter ranges
except for Moose creek-may still be
adequate to tide most of the herds over
one severe winter think that two
severe winters In succession, however,
will result in starvation of several
thousand elk and majority of the
Z, 900 deer.

It doesn't take long for good news
to get around among the baldpates,
redheads, canvasbacks and the
other migratory shore birds and
waterfowl according to q census
of the bird population on the Lake

county.
Since the designation Of Lake Bow

as a federal wildfowl refuge, the Gre
alton Of better nesting places, the
planting Of food and cover and the
protection afforded by q refuge man

whose summer address is Bowdoin lake
has increased very noticeably.
With q spring migration Of IS ,003
ducks, geese and swans, 40 negted
on the lake during the 1888 season. OF
other shore birds and water birds such
as coot, avocets, snipeS, herons, gullS,

q dozen other species, 1880 out OF

Refuge Manager B. NJ Hazeltfne
states.
Upland Birds Also
In addition to waterfowl. Manager
Hazeltine noted 80 families Of upland
birds and an increase Of four fawnS IN
the herd Of IS antelope that has made
its home In the vicinity Of the lake for
q number Of years.
The total area Of the Bowdoin refuge
is i4,227 acres. In this area are two
grazing districts with q total OF $3.50
acres. Public shooting grounds take IN
go acres Of water and $50 acres OF land.
The total west lake water area is 2 800
acres and the total east lake area,
now dry, Is 1000 acres. In the lake are
islands adding Approximately 1,756
acres to the land area.
According TO Manager Hazeltine's
annual report a large majority Of
waterfowl were forced to abandon the
refuge after the 1887 nest season be-
cause of low water. Later In the
season approximately 80 second-feet Of
water from MIX river was released Tor
use at the refuge. with the result that
about 1900 acres Of lake bed were
flooded for resting places and feeding
grounds during the fall flight. Al
though many Of the birds left early
last season they apparently all returned
this spring and finding conditions IA
vorable as the result of good spring
runoff from creeks and good spring /
rains, decided to stay the summer.
Migration of Cranes
A decided increase was found this
year in baldpates, blue-wing teal red /
heads and rudy ducks and slight /
increase in the number Of Canadian 4
geese nesting on the refuge There was 4
an exceptionally heavy migration Of /
sandhin cranes through the area last 4
fall. They remained at the lake for
two weeks, which is an unusually long
visit About $50 little brown cranes
we're seen at the refuge about May /,
the first noted since the refuge was
created.
Sixty-two hunters were checked on
the refuge last hunting season. OF this
number only two were apprehended
for violation of the game laws.

The preservation Of the jury
system depends on jury service, j.
A. BERT Po0re told the members
of the Butte Rotary club. He urged
his hearers 10 do their duty, when
it fen 70 their lot, without heSi-
fancy and as an important civic
duty.
The jury system, he said, is one OF
the bulwarks Of human liberty that
was won from monarchy more than
ZOO years ago when King John OF Eng
land was compelled to sign the Magma
Charta. Previous to that time, he said,
the citizen was tried before g judge
who had been appointed by the king.
The pOpulace was at the mercy of the
ruler who selected the judges. The jury
system was therefore a tremendous
step toward democracy; toward the
recognition of the rights Of the masses
to justice.
When the English people came to
the United States, he said, they
brought the jury system with them.
When the revolutionary fathers drafted
the United States constitution they
made provision for jury service.
The constitution of the various states
did likewise. Every citizen between the
ages Of 81 and 20, who Is not deficient
mentally and whose name appears on
the tax rolls, is eligible for jury duty.
To preserve the system it is necessary
that a Jury shall not be drawn from
tust one class but shall be q cross
section of the communicative luding
members Of all classes. Fair and inn
partial as well as competent jurieS,
he said, ARE essential to the preserva-
ton of the jury system"
He read section 1894 Of the Montana
statutes, which states that prospective
Juror must not be excused for slight
cause or for damage or injury to his
business" He said there were num-
Der of reasons for exemption from jury
duty but that the citizen anxious TO
do his duty to the community may
waive these exemptions If they apply
to him. He urged everyone present to
do his part toward preserving the
spirit Of the Jury system. ITO protect
your interests as citizens" he said,
honorable, fair-minded juries must be
had -

HAMILTON LABORATORY
TO EXPAND ITS WORK

DR.. L. r. Thompson. assistant sur
geon general of Washington, D. c.,
after a brief visit at the Rocky noun
tain laboratory of the public health
service here, stated that the Rocky
mountain laboratories were no longer
to be looked upon merely as the center
Of activities against spotted fever and
other tick-borne diseases but that
henceforth the institution would be
known as the western branch Of the
National Institution of Health. Thus
research work of any field in public
health work may find its place in the
Hamilton laboratory.
Vaccine production must be carried
on in the national campaign against
spotted fever, but he said 1t was the
hope of the service that other perplex-
ing problems could be solved here, with
added scientific means.
The recent plan to expend $622, 900
in an expansion of the laboratory
buildings and equipment, is well under
way at Washington, he said.
