TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 53 



HEADS AND HORNS MUSEUM. 



Plans and specifications for this building have been pre- 

 pared by Henry 1). Whitfield, Architect, and were submitted to 

 competitive bidding. The estimates, how^ever, vv^ere so high that 

 the Society has postponed the erection of this Museum until 

 building costs decline. 



On account of the increased cost of Iniilding, 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 : 



Mrs. Russell Sage $10,000.00 



Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson 10,000.00 



Estate of John D. Archbold 10,000.00

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 irondacks has been repealed, owing to the decimation of the 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.
