the California State Society. This fight is the culmination of a struggle begun 

 by the National Association of Audubon Societies in 1905, when they sent 

 field agents to tht^ lake-region of southern Oregon and northern California to 

 investigate the killing of Ducks, Geese, and other game-birds, and the slaugh- 

 ter of non-game birds by plume-hunters. One hundred and twenty tons of 

 Ducks and Geese were shipped from Lower Klamath Lake to the San Fran- 

 cisco markets during one season. Enormous numbers of Grebes, Terns, Herons, 

 and other birds, were slaughtered during the nesting-season in that region.
