WASHINGTON. 



EXTRACTS FROM LETTER OF A. G. GRAY, PRESIDENT OF THE 

 EASTERN WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION OF GAME COMMIS- 

 SIONERS, AND CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNTY GAME COMMIS- 

 SION OF SPOKANE COUNTY. 



We realize full well in the West that in order to protect 

 the game and to conserve it, it is necessary that these game 

 preserves be established. 



We got up a petition and circulated it throughout the 

 state, directing that Congress do as I see from your pam- 

 phlet you are trying to do. Our idea was particularly in 

 the State of Washington that there is a lot of land which is 

 rough and so broken up that it is absolutely unfit for agri- 

 cultural purposes and in many instances unfit for grazing 

 purposes, and that if the Surveyor-General in the different 

 reserves would survey out by metes and bounds certain 

 parts and portions of these forest reserves, which would be 

 unfit for any other purpose, and declare that by declaration 

 of the President, a game preserve where no game bird or 

 game animals at any time could be killed, that it would be 

 a step forward, and we following out that line took the 

 matter up with Senator Pondexter and you will find in him 

 a friend to your Society and to the contentions you are ask- 

 ing for. 



I am satisfied that you will find the game commissioners 

 of the State of Washington absolutely and possibly to a 

 man in favor of these game preserves.
