We are thinking of procuring some 
Mongolian pheasants and turning them 
loose. I wish you would let me know 
what you know of the birds, their habits, 
game qualities, places where they may be 
procured, prices, localities and under what 
conditions they will thrive. 
Sidney M. Logan, Provisional Secretary, 
Flathead County branch L. A. S. 

A VALUABLE REMINDER. 
Here is a copy of a circular letter sent 
to Connecticut members by H. C. Went, 
Sec.-Treas. of that division: 
I hope you will not fail to renew your 
membership. Has the dollar paid last 
year brought you no personal benefit? 
Forty cents of it went to the national or- 
ganization. Doubtless it has done good, 
East, West, North or South, in introduc- 
ing higher ideas of sportsmanship; more 
consideration forgameand the game laws, 
in meting out punishment for violations, 
etc. If your 40 cents, expended in a cir- 
cular or poster, has convinced one pot- 
hunter of the evil of his ways, has it not 
been well spent? 
What of the 60 cents which came to 
this division? It has enabled the chief 
warden to appoint 5 deputy wardens, who 
have made use of posters in their locali- 
ties, advertising the work of the League. 
Good work was done at Hartford, at 
the instigation of the L. A. S., and by 
League members who are in the house of 
representatives. 
Early in January I was informed that 
George Stevens, of East Canaan, had 
shot a ruffed grouse in violation of law. 
Our Litchfield deputy was notified and 
on January 27, Stevens was arrested and 
fined $16. 
On February 27, I sent our iJew Haven 
deputy a check for $20 for prosecuting 2 
cases of game law violation successfully. 
Confidential correspondence with a 
sportsman of Dover Plains, N. Y., with 
regard to a tough gang of pot-hunters 
from that section, who habitually hunted 
and fished in and out of season, over our 
State line near Kent resulted in an ar- 
rangement for a lookout in both States, 
and the illegal work has been checked. 
On March 14 I wrote to George White, 
proprietor of the Tontine hotel, New Ha- 
ven, protesting against the sale of quail. 
Mr. White responded at once, assuring 
me his hotel would serve no more game 
in close season. 
On (May 724, 1 “wrote! acain stomour 
Litchfield deputy requesting investigation 
and prosecution of a case of shooting a 
game bird, which had just been reported 
to me. The case is pending. 
I have written to sportsmen in Bridge- 
port, Danbury, Derby, Hartford, Torring- 
RECREATION. 
ton and Waterbury enclosing constitu- 
tions and circulars and sometimes person- 
al letters of over 200 words. All this takes 
time. 
The chief warden travels all over the 
Western part of the State in the course of 
his business, and does a great deal of 
personal work; but the work of the chief 
warden and the secretary-treasurer should 
not be counted in under the 60 cent list. 
The usual expenses for stationery and 
postage have to be met. 
Harvey C. Went, 
Secretary-Treasurer Conn. Div. L. A. S. 
Mr. H. E. Woodworth of this city, 
whom I _ have appointed  secretary- 
treasurer of the Wyoming Division, L. A. 
S., is a man of experience, not only lo- 
cally, but over all portions of the State 
and our bordering States. 
He is a man of large business interests, 
being owner and manager of the Wyo- 
ming Midland Telegraph, a line 150 miles 
long; and secretary of the Lauder Mer- 
cantile Co., one of the most extensive 
mercantile houses in the State. He is 
also interested in the Lauder Electric 
Light & Power Co., the Lauder Flouring 
Mills, etc. He is an expert amateur 
photographer, a thorough sportsman and 
an ardent advocate of game protection, 
being one of the first members of the 
L. A. S. in America. I bespeak for him 
the support of League members every- 
where. 
Frank Dunning, Chief Warden, Wyo- 
ming Division.
