If there is any other section in the Union 

 which needs game protection as much as 

 does this vicinity I have failed to hear of 

 it. It seems almost impossible to educate 

 the public against the slaughter of our 

 game and to bring them to a realization of 

 the enormity of game slaughter in this vi- 

 cinity. It is common during the open sea- 

 son for hunting parties to visit the sea- 

 coast islands hereabout and in the short 

 space of 3 or 4 days kill and bring back to 

 the city as many as 15 deer. There are 

 one or more parties on these islands every 

 week in the open season. A few years ago 

 when I was working for the establishment 

 of a chapter of the League in this State J 

 paid a visit to a German grocer who hac 

 made one of a party of hunters to Ossa 

 bow island, during which hunt 14 dee. 

 were killed. I used my best efforts on that 

 man and when I had finished he asked 

 what was the use of protecting and saving 

 our game for Northern hunters to carry off 

 in the winter. That is the way 6 out of 

 every 10 men approached in behalf of the 

 League speak. I have noticed that this 

 deer slaughtering crowd who visit these 

 seacoast islands and slaughter game, espe- 

 cially deer, are principally German saloon 

 keepers and grocers. The newly appointed 

 postmaster here was one of a party who 

 helped to kill 14 deer on Ossabow island 

 in one week's hunt and he would doubtless 

 take pride in repeating the slaughter. ^
