Hunting In Many Lands 



one civilian scout, who is overworked and 

 underpaid. With all this enormous territory 

 to guard, with all that is beautiful and val- 

 uable to protect, with the last of the bison 

 to preserve, it would seem that this rich Gov- 

 ernment should be able to expend more than a 

 paltry $900 per year for scouts, and more than 

 $500 (which it receives for rentals) for the 

 other needs of the Park. 



There are very few who appreciate the 

 amount of work done here by the soldiers 

 in summer and in winter, in cold and in 

 storms, on foot, on horseback and on snow- 

 shoes — and all without murmur or word of 

 complaint. Never before was it so well 

 placed before the public as it was by Mr. 

 Hough in his Forest and Stream articles sum- 

 mer before last. Should Congress be stirred 

 to make a more liberal appropriation for the 

 purpose of carrying out the provisions of the 

 act of May 7th, to him, more than to any 

 other man, will the credit be due.
