Vanishing Herds
Now Are Cared For
| (Karly WVi Gage in Our Dumb
Animals)
Otiu of the rarest of North Ameri
:an animal*, the antelope, or prong
horn, distantly related to the black
buck, or Indian antelope, is being
saved from extinction by the Canadian
Government. The history of
this interesting animal, which Irwhab
its only this continent, constitutes
one of the tragedies of human progress.
For the antelope was threatened
with a fate like its compani on
of the plains, tho bison." Upon the
arrival of the first white explorers
the antelope ranged in countleaa num-|
hers on the wild pastures. Today
only a few thousand exist. It is the I
sanu* story of extermination following
the advent of t'he white man
armed with rifles.
tj
In captivity the antelope is delicate
and short lived, and as an ex-!
hibition animal in parks and zoos it
has. been a complete failure, since it
apjH-ars jaded and spiritless. Conservation
is possible only in vast pie.M-rves,
-o that the sensitive little
i features do nut suspect that lh--y
?v being confined and cared for. |
Many attempt.-* have been made .n j
tin* j>a-t fifty years to transplant
and acclimatize the antelope, yd
pnvre than forty jkm* cent of the ani-;
rnals have died. The onward mark",
"f civilization and settlement in the
Canadian West made such disastrous
inroails on the numbers of antelope,
that the Department of the Interior
established reserves for their protection.
The first sanctuary was located
on the rolling plains of southern Alberta,
an area of 54 squure miles,
some To miles east of Lethbridgo.
known as Wawaskesy Park. Today
the main work of conservation is Doing
carried on at the Nomiskam Park,
an area of eight and a half square
miles of fenced-in land's, aibout 25
miles north of Medicine Hat, Alberta,
where success has crowned the efforts
of the friends of these timid
animals. ,
Today the herd numbers nearly
500 antel(>iH>, representing the result*
of as interesting an experiment in
wild life conservation as has occurred
anywhere. Until a few years ago efforts
at raising these animals in
captivity had been unsuccessful, owing
to the effects of the shock of
capture. Therefore, officers of the
National Parks Branch, in charge' of
the work, hit u|>on the idea of corralling
a herd of antelope on a suitable
grazing area. A herd of 42
animals were observed feeding to the
north of Medicine Hat, and the work
of fencing them in without disturb ng
them was successfully carried out.
Since then the animals have thriven
evidently unconscious of their captivity
and these graceful native ani-.
ma Is are rapidly being restored in
numbers, to assure future generations .
of their preservation.
The antelope's chief title to sciorv- j
tific distinction consists in the fact |
that like the cattle tribe, it has h 1-1
low horns, but, unlike them, it sheds
the outside sheath each year, just at
the deer shed their antlers. With thoj
deer it is the whole horn or antdr |
that is shed, but in the case of t .e,
antelope, only the outer sheuth of the,'
h rn s shed.

Reforestation (amp
For Kershaw County {
Columbia, S. C., June 2, 1033.
Dear Sir: Wo have secured author-1
ity for the establishment of a reforestation
<?mp near you for the purpose
of doin# Forestry work on
private lands un<k>r protection, and
for the construction of fire towers and
telephone lines within your county
under President Roosevelt's Reforestation
ph?n. Each camp will have a
minimum of 200 men. I
I/ocation of camps, tire towers and
telephone lines and the amount of
work to be done in your county and
thus the amount of money to be spent
in your county, at no expense to your
jxxxple, depends upon several things.
First, a desire upon the (part of
your citizens to have such work done
within your county. Second, an attitude
that precludes any possibility of
attempted hold up for rights of ways,
camp sites, etc., ami, Third, a reasonable
assurance that work constructed
will be maintained.
We have already received several
offers of gifts of land in fee simple
in tracts of from five to ten acres for
use as tower sites with cabins upon
which the towerman of the future
may live and produce a part of his
living. Such offers will go a long way
towards making such a tower system
self-sustaining and determining the
location of the towers.
The reasonable aUKirance required
by the President that the works will
be maintained can probably be met
by a letter from your delegation to
the effect that they will use their influence
towards securing funds at the
end of this project for the maintenance
of towers and tele-phono lines
as a detection and reporting system
at the conclusion Of this project. (2
years.) It has been estimated that
the cost will be less than $300 per,
tower p<^r year when operated in co- I
operation with the state and federal
government.
I will be, glad to hear from you at
your earliest convenience as to the
interest of your people in forest protection
and will ibe glad if you can
give some publicity to our desires.

done free.
Checks hav^ been mailed out to

The men sure are going in for wash suits this summer in a big way. Young I I

And it's a wise investment, too, for there's no more economical way to keep
well groomed than having a ^upply of freshly laundered suits on hand. Why not
invest in some and send them to us for laundering? j
