here will probably be an effort made by Pablo to have special 
legislation granting him the right to treat the animals now at large 
as personal property. This will most likely come before our next 
Legislature, and the measure will have many commendable features 
as these animals were originally imported from the eastern part of the 
State as personal property, a large consideration having been paid 
for them. Major Morgan, the United States Indian agent for the 
Flathead Reservation, is one of the most ardent supporters of this 
proposed measure, and personally I believe that this consideration 
is due Pablo.” 
We will watch with keen interest to see whether the 
Legislature of Montana will change its Game Laws to 
please the pocket of Michel Pablo. Already Pablo has 
been made immensely wealthy by his bison herd. In 
Ravalli, I was told that he is supposed to be worth a 
million dollars! 
If the Legislature of Montana feels inclined to 
change its Game Laws in order to swell the unearned 
increment of Mr. Pablo, why should it not make the 
testimonial benefit complete by making an appropriation 
to pay for the capture of the bison that have so gallantly 
gained the liberty of wild animals?
