state. Probably the only game lacking
that he described in 1908 are the fox
and the swan. However, Montana Is
the only place where the trumpeter
swan exists and that bird is making
a fight against extinction. Recently a
national magazine carried an article
on the trumpeter swans on Red Rock
lakes that are being encouraged to
keep breeding in the hope that the
species may be saved.
In the matter of game conservation
Scott pointed to eastern states that
were spending in 1903, and still are,
large sums OF money to restore what
Large sums are appropriated annually
to reStock the almost deserted forests
and the streams are annually replen-
ished with thousands of young fish.
Fortunately in Montana, because Of the
work of the farmers of the state, the
many sportsmen's associations and the
Montana state fish and game COM
mission. game in Montana is an &C
tuality that needs protection and con-
servation rather than importation and
replenishing.
Encourages Use of Weapons
One of the arguments advanced in
1903 for the conservation of game and
the promotion of hunting is an argu-
ment that may or may not set so well
To-Day, depending on lndlVldual view
point. This argument advanced was
that soldiers are made from hunters
and for this reason hunting, or the
opportunities for its pursuit should be
fostered and guarded in every manner
possible. Scott bears strongly on this
advantage of ample game, saying that
it not only affords sport, but encour-
ages practice with weapons.
Scott, in assuming his duties as the
first game warden in Montana, had
no easy time of it in carrying out
the duties of his office. He not only
had to be a master diplomat but also
a stern dtsciplinarian. Men, who had
been used to doing as they pleased in
frontier land, opposed him. These had
to be won over with judicious argu-
ment or sternly impressed that a new
order had come into being in Montana.
Effective work was done by the ward
en- and his deputies in enforcing the
game laws. The examples that were

some sections of the state where they
were almost extinct two years ago. We
see already families of beaver every
where, and in some instances they had
to be killed to protect property. Moose
are often seen and caribou are found
in larger numbers than in any other
state.
"Of the game for which we have a
lawful season all are plentiful and
seem to be on the increase, except the
Rocky mountain goat. They. like the
mountain sheep, are only found in the
Rocky mountains, and as they are per-
mitted to be killed they are becoming
very scarce. But still In regard to these
we are very fortunate, as we undoubt-
eddy have more than any other state.
Elk are increasing and are gradually
working back into their old haunts,
which are still unsettled. I have been
endeavoring to secure reliable reports
as to make an estimate Of the number
still existing in the state. Taking the
report of the superintendent of the
national park into consideration, as
well as those received from scouts,
deputies and old mountaineers, think
$4,000 would be a very conservative
estimate to place thereon.
"Black-tail deer, are no doubt multi
plying. as more have been seen and
killed this season than for many years
past They are being found quite nu-
merously in sections which have been
considered hunted out. The little
Whitehall deer, the most beautiful and
graceful of all wild animals, is still
found in large numbers along the bot
toms and brakes of the Missouri river
Considering everything, our large
game is doing nicely, and with con-
tinued rigid enforcement of the laws
will propagate and multiply"
SCOTS description of the centers OF
game hunting remains accurate to this
day. The northwestern portion of the
state is still the habitat Of big game
animals in large numbers. Here may

not a few of the larger ones, which
make the anglers heart SO glad. After
finding out these things he naturally
considers the west for his next hunt
ing trip In the fall, and at last decides
to come to Montana.
Few people in the east have any
idea Of the actual conditions as they
exist in the west, especially those rela-
tive to the people or the geography
Of the country. 1t is taken for granted,
and generally understood, that the
people are inferior, Intellectually and
socially. and that the country is made
up of rugged mountains and barren
that the water is mostly alkali With
impressions such as these the eastern
hunter usually begins his Journey He
is assured of good hunting or he would
never have attempted to endure the
hardships he expects.
In Receptive Mood
TT should not be forgotten that the
social attitude Of these men, brought
into the state solely with a view of
what is usually known at home. There
is a comradeship known among sports
men; the humbleSt hunter or fisher
man is a hale fellow well met they
are friendly and approachable They
are in receptive mood, and they will

The. certainty of being rewarded for
his long journey in quest of game will
surely attract him to this part of the
country, and a knowledge of the actual
conditions will in many cases secure
him as a permanent investor. In this
way the protection of game plays its
part, in the upbuilding of the great
northwest"
Although 81 years have passed since

prophetic powers and it may be that

made of violators had a good effect,
according to SCOTS report of Jan. /,
1903: In that report he ascribed much
OF the progress in game conservation
TO strict action in prosecuting violators
OF the law and credits such prosecution
with causing the increase of game in
all parts Of the state.

Will have on community which had
heretofore borne the reputation of pay

many cases the persons who respected
the laws the least are now assisting us
greatly in their enforcement.
Hide Hunters Driven Out
The hide, head and market hunters
have been practically driven out of the
business by the enforcement Of the
laws, and the results are very evident
at the present time Large game has
been more plentiful this season than
In the 10 years last past. Deer and elk
have been found in large numbers in
places where they had not been for

miles of town, and it is not unusual
TO hear of them being seen while driv-

that almost every hunter who went
out has returned with a good kill and

Only short time ago Miss Jose Tai

Falls, killed deer on the river bank
in front of her fathers residence.
The greatest large game sections
of the state are the extreme north
western and southwestern parts, but
more especially the former, as almost
every species Of native North American
game is still to be found there. This
section is composed of the whole OF
the Flathead, portions of Teton,
Powell, and Lewis and Clark counties
The other sections are adjacent to
and border on the national yellow

tons of Gallatin, Madison, Sweet
