THE SP ANTON CO. ,7hora BIRDS TO BE.- SAVED reet 823 President Creates Reserves Where Hunters May Not Go. WILL PROTECT WILD FOWL Rfwrrolr Sites of Reclamation Bu 'n Selected for Reservations on Which Xo Canning Will Be Permitted. OREOOXIAS NEWS BUREAU, "W ah gton. Mar 22. Official announcement ia )nnt been made of the fact that President Roosevelt. In the closing flaya of his administration, sijrned proc lamation! creating 25 new reservations f"r the protection of native birds. Seventeen of these reservations em brace reservoirs created by the U. S. Reclamation Sen-Ice for the storage of water for irrigation purposes. and these reservations cover not only the entire water surface, but a narrow strip of the surrounding- shore. on which no running; Is permitted. The reservations of the latter type are located on the following; lakes or projects: salt River. Aria.: East Park ral.: Deer Flat and Minidoka. Idaho; villlow Creek. Mont-: Carlsbad and Rio Rrande. N. M.: Cold Springs or. Belle Fouche. S. D-: Strawberry Valley Itah; Lake Keerhclus. Kachess and cie-Elum. Bumping Iake and Conconully, wash., and Shoshone. Wyo. These seventeen reservations are so located as to Interfere In no way with the reclamation projects, and the land surrounding- the various lakes and reservoirs Is -ot such as Is needed by the Government. of course private lands Included In the limits of any of these reservations is not arretted by the President's order. Check to Pothuntinfc. The main object of the administra tion in creating these bird re nerva tions Is to put a check on pothunt-Ing- and the slaughter of birds for com merce. In many of the Western states the killing of birds for their plumage has. of late years, become a thriving Industry, but It has reculted in the vir tual extermination of several species and the material reduction In the num bers of others. The Reclamation Service Is in hear ty sympathy with the new movement to prevent the killing, for commercial purposes, of the birds which now nest annually, or which probably will neat later npon the Islets and shore lines of their reservoirs. Wardens will be placed In charge of the various reser vations, and the officials of the Recla mation Service In charge of the reser vo I- ,!tes will also extend a helping police Influence over all the reserved tracts. During the last regular session of Congress. Representative Mbndell of ?ZZ?

Alaskan Birds Protected. In addition to th. IT bird reserve upon reservoir site., mix bird reserve. ere created In Alaska, as follows: Bering Sea reservation, embracing Ha'l and St. Matthews Islands In Bering 8a. Prlhtlof reservation, 'embracing two small Islands of th Prlbilof group, oc cupied by myriads of sea fowl, about th. middle of the Aleutian Archlpeiasco. Yukon-delta reservation, embracing th. treeless tundra of tb. delta of th. Yukon, outh of the Tukon River and west of the Kuakokwln River. The lands em braced within thl. reservation are marshy, covered with lake., and worth ies, for agriculture, mineral or other use. so far as known. Tuxednl reservation, embracing small lsleta In Tuxednl Harbor, along th. west ern shore of Cook's Inlet, on th. south east coast of Alaska. St. Lzarta reservation. embracing small Islands In the mouth of Sitka Har bor. Bogoslof reservation, embracing on. or two volcanic Island. In Bering Sea. on the northern border of the Aleutian Archipelago. Th. number of Islands In this reservation varies, being Increased or diminished from tlm. to tlm. by vol canic action. 1:pon these Alaskan reservations myriad, of sea fowl breed annually, those on the coast or along th. coast supplying Summer homes also for counties, num bers of wild geese, of several special and edible wild ducks. .Moose Will Be Protected. An additional and new tvpe of reserva tion wa. created on Fire Island, near the head of Cooks Inlet. This island Is a well-known resort for the cows of th. Alaska moose, th. largest known repre sentative of the moose family. The fe male moose. In the breed'ng season, aw-lm out to Klre Island, and remain there with their young until the latter are big enough and strong enough to protect themselves. Then, led by their mothers, the young moose swim back to the main land. Each year this process Is repeated, and each year Fire island becomes the br-.j-r ground for the Alaska moose. This Island was set apart solely to protect the moose during the breeding season. In th. hope of preventing the extermination of th. species. This Is the first game preserve created y Presidential procla mation, and designated as such. Other rewrvationa. under other names, are In actuality, operated primarily or sec ondarily as game preserves nnder Fed eral control, but this Is the first reser vation created for this sole purpose The Biological Bureau of th. IVpartment of Agriculture was largely reswnslbi. for having this reservation created It Is stated that among trie water fowl and birds which wl! be preserved on the various reservations of Alaska are the Emperor coose. aukleta. gillemota murres. puffins, violet-green cormorants.' Ptgeon glllemots. glaucus-wlnged gulls, leaches, fork-tailed petrels paroquet auk Klttewake gulls and all manner of gees, and ducka that frequent Alaska. In ad dition to prohibiting th. killing of bird, on any of th. reservations, th. Presi dents order prohibits th. collection of egs. Heretofore th. eggs and plumage captured annually in Alaska hav. been worth a great many thousands of dollars. j eers of th.
