American Big Game in its Haunts 



It is gratifying to think that, while at first the 

 establishment of these forest reserves was very un- 

 popular in certain sections of the West, where their 

 object was not in the least understood, they have 

 now that the people have come to see what they 

 mean received universal approval. It sometimes 

 takes the public a long time to understand a matter, 

 but their common sense is sure at last to bring them 

 to the right side of any question. 



The list of reservations here given is brought down 

 to December, 1903, and is furnished by the U. S. 

 Forester a member of the Club.
