Western Wild Life Call. Published by the California Associated 

 Societies for the Conservation of Wild Life. February 7, 1913. 



A publication of this sort, illustrating by pictures of what is 

 now happening to our wild life, and showing what the results in 

 the past have been when such practices Iiave gone on unchecked, 

 scattered over the country at large and put into the hands of sports- 

 men as well as others, Avould, in our opinion, be of the greatest 

 service in the warfare now on to protect and conserve our wild 

 life. We trust that the impetus which this movement in the Golden 

 State is certain to give to the conservation of Wild Life will reach 

 eastward across the mountains and become evident the country 

 over. L. J.
