Pass the Flint-Cary Bill Without Amendment! 
In order to avoid the clear issue as to the 
non-sale of all wild game, several compromise 
measures have been proposed. Among these 
are suggestions (i) to close the season for two 
years on all game, and then to permit its sale, 
(2) to put the market hunter under bond to 
keep the law, (3) to require that sportsmen di¬ 
vide their bags and sell a percentage. 
Each one of these proposals is open to 
the fatal objection that it worild utterly fail to 
remedy the present conditions under which a 
premium is put on the extermination of the 
species. Commercialism, which has already 
signed the death warrant of some of the finest 
game in America and California, is eliminated 
by none of them. 
The first would merely postpone the ex¬ 
tirpation. The second would throw a few more 
obstacles in the way of the market hunter, who 
is already well accustomed to evasions—but it 
would not eliminate him! The third would go 
far to guarantee that ev'ery sportsman killed 
the limit every time he took the field, and this 
is something that the wild life cannot stand. 
Each !s a compromise measure which is 
prejudicial to the interest of the wild game, 
and so prejudicial to the interest of all resi¬ 
dents of California. 
Let us face the issue squarely. Commercial¬ 
ism or non-commercialism? Sale or non-sale? 
Let the people’s voice be heard on this matter! 
Insist upon the passage of the Flint-Cary . 
bill without amendment.—Western Wild Life

Beyond the forests of Siberia lies the bar¬ 
ren center of the Asiatic continent—that inhos¬ 
pitable, desolate land of nakedness, the haunt of 
I oaming nomads, a region of bitter winds and 
hostile climate. In the very heart of the greatest 
continent, in that part of the earth's surface 
which is furthest removed from the sea, lies 
the lone, bleak land of Mongolia. 
In all its immense area, says a writer in the 
Wide World Magazine, there are but few towns 
where men live settled lives, and it possesses 
but a scanty population, while, because by its 
very position it is cut off from the softening 
influence of the sea, it presents a dreary aspect 
of windy wastes, endless steppes and barren 
mountains. 
Wild and wide is Mongolia, stretching as 
it does for 2,000 miles in the savage splendor 
of limitless expanse. j\Ian cannot rest in such 
a country nor live a sedentary life. It has been 
the birthplace of the greatest migrations the 
world has ever seen. Restless movement, in 
fact, is the very spirit of Mongolia. What his¬ 
tory this land could tell if only its deserts could 
speak and its mountains bear witness! Here 
rode Genghis, the Mon.gol Alexander, the most 
ruthless and inhuman destroyer the world has 
experienced. On these wide plateaus wandered 
those Mongol herdsmen who fed their flocks 
and moved their camps with complete content 
and splendid isolation, until at last the wander¬ 
lust came over them, and they burst out from 
their fastnesses to overrun the world.
