farmers and sportsmen whieh aiipeaied on lists thai 

 the members of the i^enate and House had kindly sent 

 the Game Commission. 



At the present writing, May liO. 1S9T, about 2.000 i-e 

 plies have been received at the office of the Game 

 Commission. An examination of these answers on the 

 bounty subject reveals that, on an average, about 

 twenty persons to a county made a reply, pro or con. 

 Two answers were received from one county, seven 

 from a second, and ten came in from a third; with these 

 and perhaps a few other exceptions, the answers 

 returned from the counties, ran in about the following 

 proportions: Adams, ;50; Bradford, 22; Chester, 2.5; 

 Delaware, 16; Erie, 27; Fulton, 20; Clearfield, 2:5; 

 Crawford 35; Sullivan, 22; Mifflin, 26; Lancaster. 25; 

 Luz,erne, 30; Westmoreland, 28; Lehigh, .''.5; Xorth 

 ampton, 37, and Tioga, 37. 



The percentage, however, in favor of ixuinties, as 

 shown by the following columns of .figures, is \ev} 

 gi-eat, and in view of this sentiment it is not at all 

 surprising that a bounty act recently passed the 

 Rouse (if I{e])i'fscnta lives with but few negative votes:
