TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 5S 
HEADS AND HORNS MUSEUM. 
Plans and specifications for this building have been pre- 
pared by Henry D. Whitfield, Architect, and were submitted to 
competitive bidding. The estimates, however, were so high that 
the Society has postponed the erection of this Museum until 
building costs decline. 
On account of the increased cost of building, at least $40,000 
of additional subscriptions must be secured to add to the $100,000 
now on hand, and four subscriptions of $10,000 each are greatly 
needed. The subscriptions to this fund are as follows:

WILD LIFE PROTECTION. 
The law removing protection from female deer in the Ad- 
irondacks has been repealed, owing to the decimation of the 
herds and also the loss of human life which resulted from it. 
The result of the doe-killing law was foretold by the representa- 
tive of the Society, and the law never should have been placed 
upon the statute books. The results were so disastrous that 
there is no danger of its restoration. 
The Society paid a reward of $100 to George Tonkin, United 
States Game Warden of Boise, Idaho, and a reward of $100 to 
Sheriff E. E. Woodcock of Lakeview, Oregon, for having arrested 
and secured the conviction of two violators of the game law of 
Oregon for killing prong-horned antelope. The arrests and the 
conviction of these men were of great importance to the protec- 
tion of the few remaining antelope in southeastern Oregon, and 
the Society feel that the rewards were well earned.
