It will be seen by the following that E. J. Calley set 
a remarkable pace, with an average of 18 1-5 feet shoot

Now, boys, get busy! 
The weather was ideal and we were more than pleased 
to see such a large attendance of ladies.

MICHIGAN FORESTS HAVE 48,000 DEER. 
According to J. H. McGillivray, deputy state 
forestry warden, Marquette, Mich., there are 
48,000 deer in Michigan—44,000 in the upper 
peninsula and 4,000 in the northern part of the 
area south of the Straits of Mackinac. 
McGillivray says there are known to be 34 
moose in the State. He estimates the number 
of wild animals and birds, other than deer, as 
follows: 
Rabbits, 2,500,000; raccoons, 50,000; mink, 70,- 
000; foxes, 100,000; polecats, 170,000; otters, 18,- 
000; beavers, 8,000; bears, 5,000; partridges, 500,- 
000. 
He suggests tha t hunting in the southern 
peninsula be prohibited for five years and that 
at the close of that period the killing of deer 
be restricted to those with horns. 
It is the purpose of the state game and fores¬ 
try warden’s department to introduce the ringed- 
neck pheasant in Michigan. 
This bird was loosed in New York several 
years ago for the first time, and it has now so 
multiplied that the legislature contemplates an 
open season for it. 
The pheasant will be established in Michigan 
in the game refuges, provision for the institu¬ 
tion of which was made by the last legislature. 
Private individuals have donated considerable 
money and much land for the establishment of 
breeding places. 
WILL HUNT RARE DUCK. 
William Percy, younger son of the Duke of 
Northumberland, left Seattle, Wash., recently, 
for the Arctic ocean, where he will hunt the 
Stella eider, a rare specimen of duck, said to be 
found only in the far north. “I will remain in 
the north until I get what I am after, but I 
expect to return on the Bear when she comes 
south next October,” he said. 
GOOD SPOTS IN MISSOURI. 
Deputy Game Commissioner John R. Lett 
wrote recently from Sikeston, Mo.: “I have 
just returned home from an extended trip on 
the James and White rivers, in Taney County, 
also Lake Taneyeomo, and I regard these places 
as the greatest fishing resorts I have ever seen. 
It is wonderful the amount of fish caught. The 
judge of the Springfield Court of Appeals came 
in with sixty-one bass for a day’s fishing. Some 
of them weighed two and three pounds. 
‘‘Over at Powersite I met a boy of perhaps 
fifteen years old with five bass which averaged 
four and one-quarter pounds. Over around Ga¬ 
lena they were striking fine, and every one you 
met had nice strings of bass and some few 
crappie. 
“I would live to see this section given some 
publicity, as this will be one of the greatest fish¬ 
ing resorts in the country in a few years. There 
are lots of people going in there and building 
summer homes around Powersite, on Lake 
Taneyeomo, from Kansas City and other points 
west.” 
WOULD ENFORCE GAME LAWS. 
With a view to securing more effective pro¬ 
tection of fish and game, better enforcement of 
the laws and more expeditious punishment of 
violators, a movement has been started by the 
Fairfield County, Mass., fish and game club of 
Bridgeport for the formation of a state federa¬ 
tion of fish and game clubs. The project is be¬ 
ing placed before every county and individual 
club in the State, and it is expected that a pre¬ 
liminary organization will be effected soon. 
THOMPSON SETON IN CANADA. 
Thompson Seton arrived at Winnipeg recent¬ 
ly, having been commissioned by the Canadian 
government to devise something to preserve an¬ 
telope which are rapidly becoming extinct. Some 
territory will be set aside as a preserve. 
RICHEST PIKE SPAWN HAUL. 
More than 270,000,000 pike fry will be released 
this spring in the lakes of Minnesota as a re¬ 
sult of the unprecedented success of the spawn 
gathering party sent out by the State Game and 
Fish Commission. According to E. W. Cobb, 
superintendent of fish hatcheries, the State 
never before obtained such a large supply of 
pike spawn, and although the work was beset 
with difficulties from cold and wet weather, there 
was no complaint. 
The commission probably will not be able to 
grant all applications for pike fry this season, 
but it will distribute the largest crop in the 
history of the State. 
More than 858,000 young trees ae being set 
out this spring on national forests in Utah and 
southern Idaho, and the season is reported as 
particularly favorable to their successful growth.
