RECREATION. 



xxvn 



Our game laws are fairly good and are 

 well enforced. During the past year some, 

 enormous fines were imposed on law break- 

 ers. In one case a man narrowly escaping 

 imprisonment for perjury, was mulcted in 

 fine and costs about $300; all for shooting 

 one pheasant. The population of the Prov- 

 ince is so small that the wild regions are 

 almost unexplored and are full of game. 

 The Indians are perhaps the worst game 

 hogs we have ; no one knows the extent of 

 the damage done by them annually. How- 

 ever, I really think the game will outlive 

 the red man yet. You are doing a world 

 of good in educating would be sportsmen 

 in true sportsmanship. I know Recrea- 

 tion has been an eye opener to me, for I 

 was on the high road for the hog pen be- 

 fore I read it.

Conditions in the Sequoia National Park 

 are not encouraging. A party traveling 

 through the park last September passed, at 

 Hockett meadows, the camp of the soldiers" 

 detailed to guard the park and its game, 

 and saw a stack of deer hides in their pos- 

 session. In August a party making roads 

 in the park heard shooting. Soon a num- 

 ber of soldiers passed, 2 of them carrying 

 on their saddle-bows what appeared to be 

 carcasses of deer wrapped in blankets. 

 While the soldiers were in the park last 

 year shooting was heard nearly every day. 

 A few civilian rangers would accomplish 

 more good there than the entire army. No 

 one ever hears of a soldier being punished 

 for breaking the game law, though the set- 

 tlers here will testify that they do it con- 

 tinually.

 shot gun and am more than pleased with 

 it. I thank you sincerely.

Hypnotism
