GAME BILL NOW PENDING IN CONGRESS. 
Continued from page 787. 
or which cannot be incorporated in one of the 
great supply bills. 
About thirty bills affecting game are now 
before Congress, but several of these are corres¬ 
ponding bills in House and Senate, and others 
are revisions of earlier bills. Thus there are 
three bills in the Senate and two in the House 
protecting migratory birds (S. 2367, S. 6478, 
S. 6497; H. R. 36, H. R. 4428) ; two for the 
establishment of the Peter Lassen National Park 
(H. R. 19557, H. R. 22352) ; and two for the 
importation of wild and domestic animals into 
the United States (H. R. 1303 and H. R. 24324), 
so that the number of distinct measures is less 
than twenty. Of these the McLean and Weeks 
migratory bird bills are now on the calendar and 
may come up for consideration, the Catron bill 
for a game refuge in New Mexico and the 
Perkins general refuge bill, having made some 
progress, may pass, but the other measures seem 
to have little chance for passage at this session. 
The latter measures include bills for enlarging 
the Grand Canon Game Refuge; establishing 
game preserves in Arizona, Montana and Wyo¬ 
ming; creating National parks in California, 
Hawaii, New Mexico and Washington; for the 
protection of game in the District of Columbia 
and in the Glacier National Park; for the im¬ 
portation of certain wild and domestic animals 
into the United States; and a constitutional 
amendment giving Congress power to legislate 
for the protection of migratory birds. These 
measures, with the number, title, date of intro¬ 
duction and committee to which referred, are 
as follows;
