CORRESPONDENTS’ CORNER 
“Forest and Stream’’ as the medium of com¬ 
munication between sportsmen is always willing 
to publish views covering both sides of a case, 
but it must not be inferred that “Forest and 
Stream'' is responsible for opinions expressed by 
correspondents, or that it endorses them. The 
columns of this paper arc open to any fair state¬ 
ment as long as personalities are avoided. — Ed.] 
NOT THE BOONE AND CROCKETT CLUB 
PLAN. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
One of your November editorials bears rather 
heavily upon the newspaper title of my favorite 
cause. It accuses some one of calling my plan by 
a “false name,” and asserts that it is “absolutely 
identical” with the plan formulated by the Boone 
and Crockett Club in 1912. 
Now, I realize that Forest and Stream and its 
editors are not specially interested in this mat¬ 
ter; and also that you have nothing whatever 
against me. My reckoning, therefore, is not with 
you or your journal, but with the man who in¬ 
spired your article against the name of my 
cause. 
The idea of making game preserves in national 
forests is nearly as old as the national forests 
themselves. Just who thought of it first, no liv¬ 
ing man can say; but a great many men have re¬ 
marked that it would be a good thing to do. My 
first formal declaration and proposal on this sub¬ 
ject dates back to the International Conservation 
Conference at Washington, on Feb. 18, 1909, 
when President Roosevelt wisely advised me 
against making a campaign in that cause at that 
time, because the time was inopportune. 
The Boone and Crockett Club’s plan was em¬ 
bodied in a bill known in the Congress of 1912 as 
as “H. R. 23,839—a Bill for the Protection and 
Increase of STATE Game Preserves” 1 That bill 
was so badly conceived, and so faulty, that it 
died in a Committee pigeonhole in 1912. It has 
lain three years in an unmarked grave, and in 
all that time the Boone and Crockett Club’s 
game protection committee has not lifted a finger 
to revive it! It resembles the “Hornaday plan” 
just as much as a three-year-old corpse resem¬ 
bles a living man, but no more; and I can ill af¬ 
ford to have any member of Congress believe 
that my cause is a plagiarism of a bill that died 
in 1912 because it was unable to live. 
The plan that the newspapers and people of the 
West elected to call by my name (with my en¬ 
tire approval for this occasion), was blocked out 
by me, and submitted to a conference composed of 
the chief officers of the U. S. Forest Service, the 
Biological Survey, and Mr. George Hewitt My¬ 
ers. Then and there it was improved upon 
through suggestions made by various members 
of that able company, and finally it was agreed 
to (informally) by everyone present. For cer¬ 
tain reasons that seemed to me thoroughly good, 
and calculated to promote progress, I became 
willing that for once a measure should, until 
landing in Congress, bear my name. Thus far I 
have seen no reason to regret that decision. The 
possible increment of kudos to me had nothing 
whatever to do with the case, and the sole ob¬ 
ject aimed at was—final Success! 
And now Mr. Charles Sheldon strenuously puts 
forth the claim, to The Outlook and elsewhere, 
that the “credit” for the plan rightly belongs to the
