Massachusetts Game Sale. 
Boston, Mass., March 3.—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The Massachusetts Fish and Game Pro- 
tective Association has in the Legislature House 
bill No. 851, which prohibits the sale of pinnated 
grouse (prairie chickens) and ducks during the 
time in which the killing of them is prohibited 
by law. Also House bill No. 853, which pro- 
hibits the sale of quail except during the shooting 
season. At the hearing on these bills before the 
legislative committee on Feb. 28, Dr. T. S. 
Palmer, in charge of Game Preservation in the 
United States Department of Agriculture, said: 
“The questions involved in these bills are nar- 
rowed down to amendments to three sections of 
the revised laws, viz., for the protection of quail, 
of pinnated grouse and of ducks. The statute 
to-day allows dealers in game and persons who 
buy from them to have game in their possession 
up to a certain date. At the time these statutes 
were enacted the conditions as to game in this 
State were very different from what they are 
to-day. It is impossible to receive from the West 
a single prairie chicken or quail which has not 
been taken in violation of law, State or National. 
The only State from which such game could 
come is Mississippi. 
“If it were generally known that the State of 
Massachusetts afforded opportunities for the dis- 
position of stolen goods of any kind, how long* 
do you suppose the statute protecting that sort of 
trafic would stay on your statute books? This 
game to which I have referred and which is sold 
in Boston is virtually stolen goods, stolen from 
the States from which it is shipped. It does not 
belong to the man who ships it, or the man who 
buys it in those States, because he never got it 
legitimately. The game bird is the property of 
the State. The only reason that the dealers are 
not liable to severe penalties for selling it is be- 
cause the links of evidence have been broken. I 
submit it is not fair that any State in this Union 
should by legislative enactment or otherwise make 
it possible for other States to be regularly and 
systematically pillaged, nor is it fair and just that 
the dealers or market men should offer induce- 
ments to persons elsewhere to ship goods here for 
which they are liable to heavy penalties.” 
The Doctor said the wood duck should be pro- 
tected throughout the year because it is a bird 
which is on the verge of extermination in many 
parts of the Union, and only by such legislation 
can it be saved. He also favored the House bill 
shortening to Jan. 1 the close season on black 
ducks. He declared it to be in line with legisla- 
tion in other States. 
“These various bills,’ he said, “suggest amend-
