The Okel'mokee abounds in game,
i hi lumbermen proved it. They had.
two grown bears, captured in the im
mediate vicinity, and a cub captured
thai morning. The Okeftriokee bears
are increasing, and their fpndness for
pork is making the raising of Hogs
on the island an unprofitable under
taking. There, are wolves in the
wilderness too, but none of them put]
in an appearance. They perhaps had
heaid that many Georgia editors are

j turkey <>r cn, mailt is common. liobins
j swarm in the Oketinokee in the win- j
ter time and have been known to re- I
ma in through the year. There is also'
' found the pileated woodpecker, which
? measures twenty inches from tip of
| his bill to the tip of his tail. The
i Oketinokee is one of the greatest bird
; territories in the countiy.
In addition to the bear. wTr.vh is
, common, and the wolf, which is rarer,
| deer, wildcats, and even panthers are
j found in the Oketinokee. The coon
.j and the possum are holding their
i own. The alligator is disappearing,,
i however. There are no game laws
j in t):!< territory, it seems. Only a
| few years ago alligators were as com
! moil as cats in a city; one man has
boasted of killing twenty-six in a
I >mgle night. 'Gators aided fish life,
i for they kept the waterways open.
' Fi.-h are still plentiful, however.
The authority for the statements
j about the wild life of the Okefiriokeo
! is < '. N. Wilson, i>t* Wave ross, who
i- more familiar with that feature,
perhaps, than an\ other living man.
He also says that the Oketinokee is
i a paradise for those who fancy honey.
: The profusion of blo>som> includes
? countless ho.ncy plants, and colonies
j of bees are correspondingly common,
i No one takes a greater interest in
! the honey supply than the b.ar. who
j is attracted by the honey .is muc.i
