Confident in your capabilities, and in sym- 

 pathy with "the cause" there are those of us 

 here in the West who shall lend our small 

 assistance and watch for developments. 

 With kindest regards, I am, 

 Cordially yours,

Stands for Game Protection. 



But Recreation is not merely a magazine 

 of amusement. It represents a principle, and 

 that principle is the protection of our van- 

 ishing American game. It does not require 

 a gift of prophecy to foretell that in any 

 land where the game belongs to the people, 

 and where the population is increasing as 



such a change in public sentiment so that 

 such detestable lawlessness becomes impossi- 

 ble, this magazine will have achieved one of 

 the aims of its being. 



Our Premium Catalog 



There has been an extraordinary demand 

 for the premium catalog recently issued by 

 our Circulation Department. Although it 

 does not seem to be quoted in the publishers' 

 lists, it is quite possible that it is the hit of 

 the season. Future editions will evidently 

 be called for at short intervals. 



Those that are inclined to occupy a little 

 of their spare time most profitably should 

 write to Mr. Allen Duncan, Circulation Man- 





KECREATION" AT Hot^\K^O^\ J : : 



DENSLOW, THE HUMORIST, TAKES HIS PEN IN HAND 



rapidly as in the United States, game re- 

 quires protection. 



When this continent was discovered the 

 Indian population was absurdly small. Hence, 

 notwthstanding that the red men slew, some- 

 times indiscriminately, the effect they had 

 upon the head of game was a mere nothing. 

 Now matters are very different. 



Recreation's correspondents in the West 

 tell of districts in Wyoming where the set- 

 tlers are living upon antelope meat, and the 

 game wardens are looking on and doing noth- 

 ing. Yet, we know that the range of the an- 

 telope is but a fraction of the acreage over 

 which it once roamed. If we can bring about 



ager, for this catalog and study the tempt- 

 ing offers contained therein. 



Frank Ford's Work. 



Perhaps the most popular member of our 

 staff is Mr. Frank Ford, — the man who an- 

 swers questions. He has been kept quite 

 busy since the last issue went to press, and 

 there is no sign of a slack season even dur- 

 ing the dog days. 



Several persons are now happy possessors 

 of launches, sailing boats, hunting dogs and 

 country estates, thanks to his efforts in their 

 behalf. If you are in the market for any- 

 thing write and see what he can do for you.
