Nation Rescues Vanishing Big Game;
 Even Rare Species Show Increases

Tn 1899, the figure dropped to B. 844,7l8, but officials said that the decrease probably resulted from more accurate methods of count rather than from any decline in the game population. Utilization of such methods as counting from an airplane have tended to make the count more accurate each year.
 Last Survey Incomplete
 Figures for the 194O roundup have not been compiled complete ly, but wildlife officials expect the figure to at least equal that of the previous year.
 Tt all adds up to continued hap py hunting for MT. and Mrs. Amer ica for years to come" one official said. with present conservation methods and growing public inter- est, we have little fear that the ranks of most of the major big game groups of North America will ever suffer much depletion"
 The desirable results that can be obtained through intelligent game control were Illustrated by officials when they pointed out that such heavily . populated states as New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania have brought near-extinct herds of big game back to old time size. In- dustrial Michigan, in fact, outranks all other states in the total number of big game animals within it's bor- ders, with 1,054,793. Pennsylvania ranks second and New York sur- prisingly good 18th.
 Northwest Takes Lead
 Idaho, Montana, and washing ton, however, exhibit the widest range in their big game population, with each showing substantial num- berS of animals in 10 categories.
 Considered the most serious prob- lem, because of their dwindling numbers, are the 14,OOO bighorn sheep left in the United States, and equal number of mountain goats and moose, slightly more than 1000 grizzly bears, and a tiny herd of IS caribou. Teachers and the nat ural restrictions imposed by en- croaching civilization are the prin- cipal worries of conservationists in attempting to increase the numbers of each of these animals. Measures being taken by state and federal agencies give promise of aid in the program.

 Limited Press Stan COrrespondent) @ San Francisco, Calif. - (UP) = Big game in the United States, des- bite the assertions of those who long eudibly for "the good old days" is Today generally its own, figures re- leased by the fish and wildlife ser- vice of the Department of Interior show.
 With the American sportsman already spending as much money in the field each year as all other huntsmen in the world combined, the welfare of the big game of the nation is assuming steadily grow ing importance, both economically and aesthetically and aesthetically, officials of the service said. Tn addi- tion, scientists, conservationists, Ila- turansts, and nature lovers are all yttally interested in the propagation ard protection of the animals.
 Declines in the population, some of them listed as serious" by the wildlife service, of bighorn sheep. mountain goats, grizzly bears, moose and caribou have been offset by substantial increases in the numbers of elk, deer, antelope, and buffalo. T Concentrate on Big Game
 Officials hope conservati ion methods and public interest that brought back elk, deer antelope and buffalo in ver-increasing numbers during the past 20 years will serve to do the same for the categories Of big game which is vanishing from the American scene.
 That conservation and intelligent planning can do the job is contend- Cd by the conservation experts when they point to such examples as the American bison and the pronghorn antelope, both of which were thought to be doomed as long ago Hs 1905. Today both are increasing ct rapid, though controlled. rate ton numerous refugees and national parks scattered over the nation. 2 Figures on antelope population in particular show the results of rigid forotection and scientific conserva- ton methods. In 1924, E. w. Nelson, prominent naturalist, estimated the antelope population of the entire nation to be 26,6O4. Today accurate counts by the division of wildlife research show antelope numbering i64,943, with the herds increasing As rapidly as range and other con- ditions will permit.
 'Transplanting" of the pronghorn

is being effected successfully in number of areas, and some states have opened limited hunting sea- sons on the animals.
 BuffaIO's Position Secure
 A better known illustration of the results of conservation Is the bison, which once roamed North America in herds estimated at co., 100000 but were in 1905 virtually at the vanishing point. The first preserve for the big animals was begun in that year in Oklahoma, 15 of the bison being stocked on a 61 ,OO0-acre under the supervision of the forest service. Today, the nations bison number well over 5000 and the supervised killing of the animals for food is allowed on some Indian reservations in western states. Although the animals never again will become numerous in the sense that they were when the white man first came to America, author itieS say there is no danger of ex- tinction and under continued care- full protection herds can multiply several times.
 With the success of the bison project well-established, the con- servation and propagation of big game rapidly became more and more of a science as new informa- ton was gathered and dissem- mated.
 First Count in 1887
 The fish and wildlife services first accurate count of big game the nation over was taken in 1887 The total figure for all types of game stood at 5,155 ,605 then. White tailed deer, found in 43 states of the union, numbered approximately 50 per cent of the total. Michigan list ed 874,716 and Pennsylvania 793,- 900. The white tails bigger cousin, the mule tail deer, took up anoth- CT 1,271, ,196 of the total. Other spe- cies of big game listed included the Columbian black-tailed deer, wood land caribou, elk, moose, prong horned antelope, Rocky Mountain and desert bighorn, black and grizzly bear, mountain goat, pee cary, European wild boar, and the buffalo.
 A slight increase in the total num- Der of big game animals in the na- ton was noted in 1888, when 5.916,- 099 were enumerated by the count CTS, with deer still leading the list by a wide margin.
