tent and awning factory, hotel, livery stable, 
country store and guide, should be a “booster” 
for game conservation, as their annual sales to 
hunting, fishing, and camping parties are enor¬ 
mous. If the state cannot offer these attractions, 
the people will seek pleasures in other states that 
do look upon the pleasure seeker as a valu¬ 
able asset. 
The Missouri Fish and Game League at this 
meeting appointed the following committees: 
A committee composed of Mr. Paul J. Wie- 
tiibi Post, the numbers do not seem to diminish. 
Red deer and caribou are both present in the 
region, but are not very numerous. 
The fur bearing animals have been trapped 
for many years by the Indians and many vari¬ 
eties are consequently being gradually extermin¬ 
ated. This is especially the case with the beaver 
only a few of which now remain. It was for¬ 
merly customary for the Indians to take care 
not to kill all the beaver living in a particular 
locality in their hunting ground, but of late years 
this custom has been abandoned. The common 
landy, Mr. Clark McAdams and Mr. A. W. 
Douglas, to arrange for a date for a dinner at 
the City Club in the near future, and to secure 
speakers to speak on Fish and Game Conserva¬ 
tion. 
A committee composed of Messrs. Clark Mc¬ 
Adams, E. T. Grether, and B. B. Deems was ap¬ 
pointed to consult with Governor Elliott T. 
Major, with a view of securing greater activity 
in the game department, in enforcing the game 
laws in Missouri. 
furnbearing species present in the district in¬ 
clude the otter, the mink, the fox, the marten, 
the fisher, the ermine, the lynx, the wolf, the 
black bear, the muskrat, the skunk, the rabbit, 
the chipmunk, the red squirrel, and the flying 
squirrel are also very numerous. 
Of the birds observed in the region the most 
common are the gulls, the black duck, the saw 
bill, the ruffed grouse, the Canadian grouse, and 
the king fisher. The less common varieties in¬ 
clude the loon, the raven, and the bittern. 
The gulls are exceedingly common in the dis¬ 
trict, usually making their home on the rocky 
reefs which project out of the water of the 
numerous lakes of the region. Ducks are not 
very numerous but there are usually a few on 
every lake. The two varieties of grouse or par¬ 
tridge are generally abundant but were unusual¬ 
ly so during the past summer. A few loons 
spend the summer in some of the more rocky 
lakes of the area but these birds are by no means 
common. 
Owing to the abundance of clay in this district 
nearly all the rivers and larger lakes contain a 
great deal of suspended material during a large 
part of the year. These waters consequently 
afford an unsuitable environment for either trout 
or bass. As far as known to the writer, there 
are no lake trout in the lakes of the district 
although they are found in Ontario a few miles 
west of the interprovincial boundary. Lakes 
Eileen and Abijevis in the Abijevis hills, have 
very clear water and contain brook trout. Black 
bass are present in some of the lakes tributary 
to the Ottawa in Lake Duparquet and below 
the Danseur portage on the Abitibi river, al¬ 
though in none of these waters are they very 
numerous. The most abundant fish of the region 
are the pike, which abound everywhere, the pick¬ 
erel and the whitefish. There are also a great 
many suckers and white trout. 
REPORT ON NATIONAL BIRD RESERVA¬ 
TIONS. 
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—The annual re¬ 
port of the Bureau of Biological Survey of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture contains the 
following statement with regard to National 
Bird Reservations: 
Two national bird reservations have been es¬ 
tablished by executive order during the past 
year—Anaho Island, in northwestern Nevada, 
and Smith Island, in Washington—making to 
date a total of 65 reservations. 
Conditions on most of the important bird re¬ 
servations during the past year have been fa¬ 
vorable. 
Mosquito Inlet, Florida.—An experiment in 
feeding waterfowl at this reservation was made 
early in the spring in an endeavor to induce 
birds to remain on the reservation where they 
would be undisturbed. A quantity of shelled 
corn and other food was placed in the water by 
the warden, and while the experiment was not 
carried far enough to fully determine its effi- 
Lake Dufresnoy and the Abijevis Hills from Kamak Hill (Kewagama Region, Canada.)
