• plans in respect to the introduction

this meeting it was deemed advisable
‘ that the local senators and representa

• executive committee, in an effort to
: aecure a part of the appropriation for
•use in FaSrhanktand vicinity. It was
: aaggestfed thiJt th^ district between
’ the Big 'atid-Little Salcha rivers be
’utilized for the introduction of these
; animals, that being a good feeding
-'(tound and within reasonable dis
tance for observation by members of
the game commission, so that check
' can fee kept upon the increase, if

j GIRL LOSES FORTUNE UPON
SUPREME COURT DECCISION
I Olympia.—Voiding that Juia
! had not submitted proof sufficient to
j identify her as the daughter of
! Georgt Arnpusalt, an Alaska miner
! who died near Circle in 1924, the Su
preme Court dismissed her ease for
Ampusalt’s estate, valued at $150,
000. The King County Superior
Court decision had awarded the es
tate to Jula, but was reversed, and
the property will escheat in part to
j the State, and the remainder going to
a brother and nephew. Jula was
born in 1890, near Puyallup, and was
the daughter of Mrs. Joserrh Meeker.
George Ampusalt'was working on a
farm in the absence of Mrs. Meekers
husband, when Mrs. MeekeT discov
ered she was going to have .a child.
She sent Arnpusalt away and wrote
her husband telling of her unfaithful
ness. He forgave her and returned to
Mrs. Meeker in 1894 with Jola and
accidentally met Mrs. Arnpusalt in a
Portland restaurant.’
He professed an interest in the wel
fare of the illegitimate daughter, and |
for several years sent money for her,
the last being from Nome in 1899,
when the Meekers learned of the
death of Arnpusalt. In the belief the
miner was her father, Jola sued for
the estate.
WHLI) ANIMAL CENSUS.
W* fancy fhat there will be rather j
unusually widespread interest in the
"wild life census” recently completed;
by agents of the Federal Government,
working with sciof the several
States. The figures tabulated are
significant in marked degree and will
be of incalculable value to the Govern
ment in the work of .wild life conser
vation in future, years. Guesses will
no longer be necessary, now that, ap
proximately correct figures, carefully
gathered and properly tabulated, are
easily available. Our wild .animals
re, in very truth, a precious item of
the national property list. The fig
ures recently listed show that there
are 005,000 deer in America. The elk
population is given as 72,000; ante
lope, 7,500; brown .and black bear, 46,
200;; grizzly bear, 5,500; moose, 6,000;
mountain goats, 17,000; mountain
sheep, 12,000. The report omits a re
port on the number of buffalo, for the
reason that they are not permitted to
run wild but are, in general, seques
!

recent years there has been a gratify
ing crystallization of public sentiment
in support of measures for the protec
tion and conservation of these wild
animals. Our national forests provide
plenty of room for them, and they
should be kept largely as exhibits of
the wild life once so abundant in
America. Americans are justified in
taking great pride in their wild .ani
mals, and proper pride gresupposes a
spirit of interest in preserving them.—
