From Pocatello, Idaho, there went to Congress a petition 

 signed by 183 persons, due to the efforts of Mrs. Drew 

 W. Standrod, Sr., and Mrs. A. M. Newton. 



It is no exaggeration to say that the names of the en- 

 dorsers appearing in Bulletin No. 2, represent many of the 

 leading men and women of the West, both in official and 

 private life. 



Of all the resolutions and petitions that were adopted by 

 organizations in support of the Chamberlain-Hayden bill 

 for game refuges, one of the most important was that adopt- 

 ed by the Executive Board of the New Mexico Cattle and 

 Horse-Growers' Association on July 7th, at a meeting held 

 at Albuquerque, New Mexico. The full text of the resolu- 

 tion and request to Congress is as follows : 



"Whereas, The wild game of New Mexico, consti- 

 tuting one of the state's valuable resources, is growing 

 scarcer each year and is now threatened with virtual 

 extermination, and 



"Whereas, The sensible handling of these game re- 

 sources demands the immediate establishment of an 

 adequate system of federal game refuges on the Na- 

 tional Forests, and 



"Whereas, Such a system is provided for in the 

 Chamberlain-Hayden Game Refuge Bill now before 

 Congress, and 



"Whereas, We have examined this bill and find that 

 it in no way interferes with the livestock industry, or 

 the extermination of predatory animals, 



"Therefore Be It Resolved, That this Association 

 heartily endorses it, and urgently requests our Con- 

 gressman, the Honorable H. C. Hernandez, and our 

 Senators, the Honorable T. B. Catron and the Honor- 

 able A. B. Fall, to do all in their power to get it favor- 

 ably reported out of committee and passed at this ses- 

 sion of Congress."
