T is a great satisfaction to be able to report the found- ing of the Montana Bison Herd as a practically-accom- plished fact. ‘The details remaining to complete the task are merely matters of routine, the cost of which is fully provided for, and before this Society issues another annual report, the finishing touches to the work will have been given. As a compensation for labor performed, we have the privilege of writing this history. I. THe Bison RANGE IN CONGRESS. It will be remembered that at the first annual meeting of the Bison Society, in January, 1907, the president called attention to the impending opening to settlement of the Flathead Indian Reservation, and stated that the time seemed auspicious for the founding of a national bison herd somewhere in that area. He requested authority and funds for the making of a careful examination of the Flathead Reservation, by Professor Morton J. Elrod, with a full report on conditions, and a recommendation regard- ing the range most suitable for a national herd. ‘The au- thority and the appropriation were both granted, and ac- tive work immediately began. In January, 1908, Professor Elrod’s report was re- ceived, and as soon as possible thereafter was printed in full in the first annual report of the Society. It recom- mended a site at Ravalli, consisting of a minimum of 20 square miles, and a maximum ideal range of 28 square miles. The area selected contained fine grazing grounds, well supplied with grass, water and shelter, on which a bison herd could be self- supporting all the vear round. The success achieved by the New York Zoological Society in the founding of the Wichita National Bison Herd seemed to point out the w ay by which a similar result might be secured in Montana. Congress had been found quickly responsive to a proposal that private individuals 1 should join the national government in a measure intended to preserve the bison for a long period. It was proposed that a similar plan should be formulated for the founding of a national herd in Montana, and the necessary authority to act was given to the president. In view of all circumstances, including a certain amount of criticism that has been aimed at Congress on account of the American bison, we deem it of interest to the public that a brief statement regarding the real attitude of Con- gress toward the bison should here be recorded. In the belief that Congress would receive with serious attention a proposition of reasonable proportions, based on good business principles and common sense, a plan was formulated. It proposed that the national government should furnish a satisfactory bison range, and that the Bison Society should, at its own expense, provide a nucleus herd of pure-blood bison, and present it to the government as soon as the range could be made ready to receive it. It seemed to be the duty of the American people to do some- thing more for the preservation of the bison than merely to exhort Congress to spend money, and bear the entire burden. Although no time had been wasted, it was late in the second session of the 60th Congress that the Society’s pro- posal was finally ready for presentation. On March 2nd, 1908, the president of the Society went to Washington to secure the introduction of a bill, and open the campaign. A careful study of the situation finally led to the conclu- sion that success could best be achieved by Senator Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana, and through a bill introduced and first reported upon in the Senate. The lateness of the beginning constituted a serious handicap for that session of Congress; but at the end of a prolonged interview Senator Dixon announced his readi- ness to draw a bill, introduce it, and take charge of the cam- paign necessary in its behalf. His original bill, (Senate No. 6159), was introduced on March 16th, 1908, and re- ferred to the Committee on Indian Affairs, of which Sen- ator Dixon was Chairman. ’ In view of the fact that the Appraisement Commission, then fixing values on the lands of the Flathead Reserva- tion, would not report until late in the year 1908, it was Zz quite impossible for anyone to know at that time how much the lands desired for the bison range would cost. In order to be well within bounds, Senator Dixon asked in his bill for $30,000 with which to purchase the minimum area, (twenty square miles), and for $10,000 with which to erect around it a wire fence suitable to hold bison. The full text of the original bill is as follows :— Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the President is hereby directed to reserve and except from the unalloted lands now embraced within the Flathead Indian Reservation, in the State of Mon- tana, not to exceed twelve thousand eight hundred acres of said lands, near the confluence of the Pend d’Oreille and Jocko rivers, for a per- manent national bison range for the herd of bison to be presented by the American Bison Society. See. 2. That there is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of thirty thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to pay the confederated tribes of the Flathead, Kootenai, and Upper Pend d’Oreille, and such other Indians and persons holding tribal relations or may rightfully belong on said Flathead Indian Reservation the appraised value of said lands as shall be fixed and determined under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved April twenty-third, nineteen hundred and four, entitled “An Act for the survey and allotment of lands now embraced within the limits of the Flathead Indian Reservation, in the State of Montana, and the sale and disposal of all surplus lands after allot- ment.” Sec. 3. That the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and directed to inclose said lands with a good and substantial fence and to erect thereon the necessary sheds and buildings for the proper care and maintenance of the said bison; and there is hereby appro- priated therefor, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise ap- propriated, the sum of ten thousand dollars or so much thereof as may be necessary. On April 6th the bill was favorably reported to the Senate, and attached to the Committee’s report as exhibits, were letters from Edmund H. Seymour and William T. Hornaday, and the entire matter of the Bison Society’s first annual report, except the illustrations. The full text of the Committee’s report on the bill is as follows: The Committee on Indian Affairs, having had under consideration the bill (S. 6159) providing for the establishment of a national bison range, report the same back with the recommendation that it do pass, with amendments. For many years it has been a matter of much concern to citizens of this country that no systematic effort has been made to preserve 4 from final extinction the last remnant of the American buffaloes. The national movement for their permanent preservation on a national buf- falo range began in June, 1904. In December, 1905, a meeting was held in New York City, at which was organized the American Bison Society, for the express purpose of devising ways and means for the establishment of a national bison range somewhere in the Northwest which might be set apart for the preservation, by the Government, of a herd of buffalo under the care and control of the National Government. In this movement many distinguished and patriotic citizens have enlisted, and it is through the efforts of these gentlemen that a thor- ough investigation has been made of the number of buffalo yet re- maining and some intelligent efforts put forth to find a suitable loca- tion for the permanent preservation of this historic animal. The rapid settlement of the public range lands of the Western States, which was the native habitat of the buffalo, has made it difficult to point out any specific location where sufficient land could be secured for the purpose without interfering with the settlement of the country. A year ago an agent of the American Bison Society was authorized to make a thor- ough investigation of all of the proposed sites where it was possible to establish a permanent range in accordance with the wishes of the society. Special attention was called to the Flathead Indian Reser- vation, in western Montana, on account of the fact that the great Pablo- Allard bison herd had grown up on that reservation, from 30 animals to a total of 639 head, not counting between 200 and 300 head previ- ously sold. The history of that herd has amply demonstrated the fact that bison suitably located on the Flathead Reservation could live all the year round by grazing, and without being fed on hay. Unfortunately, the society came into existence just one year too late to prevent the sale and the removal to Canada of the Pablo- Allard herd, the Canadian government having two years ago, at an expense of about $200,000, purchased and transported the Pablo- Allard herd to northwestern Canada. The Flathead Reservation is to be opened next year under the act of Congress passed April 28, 1904, and if anything is to be done toward securing the proposed range on that reservation, which has been visited and recommended by the agents of the American Bison Society, it must be done at the present session of Congress, as the lands will be no longer available after they are thrown open to settlement. The American Bison Society have agreed to purchase at their own expense sufficient buffalo as a nucleus for the proposed herd, provided the Government will secure the land and fence the same. Prof. M. J. Elrod, of the University of Montana, who was detailed to make the examination of the proposed location, has strongly recommended the site on the Flathead Reservation, as set forth in the bill. The lands therein described are a part of the old range that was formerly occu- pied by the Pablo-Allard herd, before its purchase by the Canadian government, and the fact that the buffalo thrived and increased on this range to such a wonderful extent leads the committee to believe that if any place is selected that these lands are especially adapted for the purpose. The bill calls for an appropriation of only $30,000 for the 5 “WeoWw Wey DS “iq Aq ydeusoj}oyg ‘dDNVA NOSIG VNVLNOW JO AYVGNNOY NYAHLYON ‘“MAaYO NOISSIW purchase of the land and $10,000 additional for fencing the same and the construction of sheds. The committee is of the belief that the case is an urgent one and that the amount of money called for is a mere bagatelle in comparison with the great object that can be achieved by the proposed legislation. It is estimated by competent authority that the lands in question will ultimately be able to support 1,000 head of buffalo, and that owing to the climatic conditions there prevailing the animals can thrive and live through the winter off of the natural grasses that grow on these lands without the expense of feeding hay, as is the case with nearly every other buffalo range that is in private ownership. The committee believes that no more meritorious measure has been presented during the present session of Congress, and are unanimous in the recommendation that the bill pass. Senator Dixon’s bill was passed by the Senate on April 15th, 1908. About this time, all the members of the Bison Society’s Board of Managers were requested to do their utmost, by correspondence with their friends in C ongress, in support of the bison measure, and in this effort it is known that the following managers actively participated :—Kdmund Sey- mour, Prof. Franklin W. Hooper, Prof. C. M. Wood- ward, Harry W. Smith, F. H. Kennard and Madison Grant. The president of the Society addressed many com- munications to members of both the Senate and House of Representatives, setting forth the Society's proposal and pledge, and soliciting support. It is no exaggeration to state that the Society’s over- tures were received by Congress in a friendly, and even cordial, spirit. Many Senators and Members of the House immediately announced their approval of the meas- ure, and many more promised for it their serious attention. No effort ever was made to reduce the amount of the ap- propriation asked for; and no effort was made to bind the Bison Society by a formal agreement regarding the nu- cleus herd. Indeed, the Society was not even required to name the number of bison that the nucleus herd should contain, but the president freely stated our intention that the herd should contain “at least forty head of pure-blood animals, one-half of which should be females.” In view of the alarmingly late date on which Senator Dixon’s bill passed the Senate, it seemed hopeless to ex- pect the measure to reach the House calendar, and actually ” ‘ come up in that body for final passage, before the end of the session. At the same time, the impending opening of the Flathead Reservation lands for sale at stated prices per acre, rendered immediate action absolutely imperative. The purchase of any portion of the range lands by private individuals, or corporations, would assuredly block the en- tire undertaking, and it was clearly impossible to have the matter wait over for another session of Congress. By reason of this urgency Senator Dixon and his friends decided to attach the bison measure to the Agricul- tural Appropriation bill, as a Senate Amendment, which, with the consent of the Secretary of Agriculture, Hon. James Wilson, was done. ‘Through this action, the fate of the bison proposal was placed in the hands of the Con- ference Committee on the Agricultural bill. If the House conferees accepted it, its success was assured; but if two of them firmly opposed it, its failure for that session was equally certain. The three conferees on the part of the House were Rep- resentatives Charles F. Scott (Kansas), Chairman; Gil- bert N. Haugen (Iowa), and John Lamb (Virginia). In view of the very evident responsibility resting upon them, those three gentlemen went into the merits of the bison measure carefully and thoroughly. Before reaching a conclusion they obtained the views of President Roosevelt, which we know were favorable to the cause. Ultimately, the House Conferees unanimously agreed to accept the bison amendment, without alteration, and of this decision we were promptly and graciously informed by Chairman Scott. It is not known by the Society to what extent Speaker Cannon aided the decision that was made for the House; but in view of his keen interest in all pro- posed new government establishments, either for or against them, and of the interest that he took in the founding of the National Zoological Park, at Washington, in 1889-90, it is quite certain that the Montana National Bison Range came into existence with his entire approval. The Agricultural Appropriation bill was signed by President Roosevelt on May 23rd, 1908, and the good steel pen with which the Montana National Bison Range was brought into de facto existence, was forwarded to the presi- dent of the Society as a souvenir of that important event. 8 The above unvarnished history of the Montana Na- tional Bison Range in the 60th Congress is alone sufficient to show the American people, both of the present and of a hundred future generations, the extent to which they are indebted to Senator Joseph M. Dixon, his colleagues in the Senate, and to Representatives Scott, Haugen and Lamb for the celerity with which the bison measure was put through Congress, and enacted into law. It was done with the same briskness and precision with which the best- managed business corporation takes up and acts upon an important matter when the urgency for action is very great. Il. Tue Raising or THE Bison-Herp Funp. The final passage by Congress of the Bison-Range «Act rendered the next duty of the Bison Society both clear and imperative. No conferences were necessary in order to determine that some one must immediately set about the very serious business of raising, by special subscription, a sum with which to purchase the nucleus herd of bison that ina few months would actually be due from the Society to the national government. There seemed to be but one sum open to consideration : and that was $10,000. Not a moment was lost in calling for that amount. In view of the extent of public interest in the future of the bison, it seemed desirable to give the call a national character, and afford the citizens of every state and territory a chance to subscribe, in sums ranging from one dollar upward. It was regarded as far more desirable to receive the fund in a large number of small subscriptions than in a few large ones only. By means of a circular letter each member of the Board of Managers was asked to procure subscriptions amount- ing to at least $100. The other members of the Bison Society were asked to subscribe, and to secure other sub- scriptions, amounting to a total of at least $10 for each member. Many promptly responded to this call, and some remitted funds far in excess of the ten-dollar limit. The list of subscriptions published herewith shows the ad- mirable manner in which our members responded to the hard and unromantie call for funds in the heat of mid- summer. In the printed list of subscriptions an asterisk 9 ‘WBE W WEY OD Aq Aq ydeisojoud ‘AONVY NOSIA VNVLNOW YANYOO NYALSVAHLUON “NAAYO NOISSIW NO FAOUD NAdSV is placed in front of the name of each member of 1907-8, and the amount of the subscription secured by different individuals is also shown. In the belief that some of the mayors of some of our American cities having over 30,000 population would take an interest in the founding of the Montana Bison Herd, if invited to do so, the president of the Society wrote an urgent individual letter to each one of the mayors of 150 cities containing 30,000 inhabitants, or above, excepting only those of New York and Boston. ‘The officials ad- dressed were asked to take such steps as might be neces- sary to cause subscriptions to be collected in their respec- tive cities. There was no result. SUMMARY OF SUBSCRIPTIONS BY STATES.

Notwithstanding the widespread interest taken by women in the protection of birds, it was not expected (by the un- dersigned) that the plan for the creation of a national bison herd in Montana would strongly appeal to them. The result has proven that he who thinks there is any laudable public enterprise that does not interest the in- telligent women of America, makes a great mistake. The first subscription toward the creation of the Mon- tana National Bison Herd was received (on May 26th), from Mrs. Emma L. Mee, of Concord, Massachusetts, and the amount was $5. The second largest sum raised by subscription by any one person, outside of the President's office, was secured by another gentlewoman of the old Bay State. Early in ‘the campaign Mrs. Ezra R. Thayer, of Boston, wrote in response to the circular call that she would contribute, and raise by subscription, at least $400 for the bison fund. Mrs. Thayer’s efforts began without delay, and even during the heat of midsummer were pur- sued with unflagging industry. Finally, on November 30th, 1908, she remitted to the Society her own contribu- tion of $200, which brought her total amount up to $510— or one-twentieth of the - whole amount necessary to pur- chase the nucleus herd! Mrs. Thayer's example was to the president of the Society not only encouragement, but actual inspiration; and it is respectfully commended to about 1,000,000 of the men of America who shoot and fish, and who think that they “take an interest” in wild life. In these days of destruction, any man’s interest in wild life can be meas- ured by the amount in cash, and in hours of labor, that he annually expends in the promotion of measures for wild-life protection. It is no longer sufficient to say. “Be ye warmed, and fed,” and do nothing. Altogether, 112 women contributed to the bison fund; and their subscriptions reached a total of $1,227.00. The newspapers and the sportsmen’s journals and magazines were exceedingly helpful. At least fifty pub- lications brought the Society’s undertaking prominently 12 before their readers, and published our call for subserip- tions. ‘The Forest and Stream and the Boston Transcript each made a special effort to procure subscriptions, and with substantial success. Thus far only one newspaper, the Kansas City Jour- nal, has published an ill-natured and spiteful article re- garding the Society and its work; but four or five other papers of minor importance published an identical “‘edi- torial” setting forth quite prominently the amusing mis- information that the Bison Society can not find any bison to buy for the Montana herd, because the bison are all gone, and there are none for sale! This would indeed be “important—if true.” In January, 1909, when the total subscriptions amount- ed to but $6, 750, and the end seemed far aw ay, we received two large subscriptions that put new life into the can- vass. Mr. Charles E. Senff, of New York, subscribed $1,000, and Mr. William P. Clyde raised his first subserip- tion of $100 to $500. Shortly after this, Mr. W. P. Nor- ton, of New York, resolved to lend a hand, and started a list with a subscription of $100. In a remarkably short time he secured $1,000, and at the same time Mr. G. Fred- erick Norton raised $315 more. ‘These weleome sums brought the total up to $9,465, and then it was that an appeal to Mr. Howard Elhott of St. Paul, Minnesota, brought a subscription of $1,000. This generous sum, with a few others, handsomely closed the campaign with $10,560.50, or $560.50 more than the sum originally called for. Of course any extra amount that hereafter may be se- cured will be accepted and expended in the purchase of bison. If we were in possession of sufficient cash, the Bison Society would gladly purchase and present to the government 75 bison instead of 50. In response to a suggestion from the president, Mr. James J. Hill generously “presented to the Society, for the Montana herd, three pure-blood bison, which he will de- liver at Ravalli whenever they are called for. Mr. Hill also offered to present his herd of 8 cattaloes, three of which contain only {th domestic blood; but owing to our obligation to the government, to provide only pure- -blooded animals for the nucleus herd, we are unable to accept the mixed-bloods. 13 v0 “UIBIMaW WEY “DO “aq Aq Ydeusoj0yg “J9JBM JO SUINJOA ZuIMOYS ‘ADNVA NOSIX SO ACIS HLYON NO “MdauO NOISSIW It will appear in the report of the secretary that Mr. Baynes has secured promises of five pairs of bison as gifts. These are to come from the C. EK. Conrad Estate, the Blue Mountain Forest Association (“Corbin herd’), John E. Dooly, James Philip, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Good- night. With the fund of $10,560.50, now in the treasury, about 40 bison can be purchased, and with the 14 head of gift bison a nucleus herd of over 50 head is now assured. Just how much of our fund will need to be expended in trans- portation charges on the gift bison, it is at present impos- sible to say; but at all events, the Society must deliver its gift upon the range, free of all freight charges and other claims. The president, Vice-President Kennard, and Treasurer Williams have been formally authorized and directed by the Society to purchase the nucelus herd, and provide for its delivery upon the range; and at the proper time this duty will be performed. It is hoped that the range will be ready for the delivery of the gift herd early in October of the present year. The full list of subscriptions is attached hereto, as a part of this report. To the public-spirited men and women,—and also boys and girls,—who generously aided in the accomplishment of this result, the Bison Society ten- ders its grateful thanks, and the assurance of its profound appreciation.

The report of the Appraisement Commission acting upon the salable lands of the Flathead Indian Reserva- tion revealed the fact that the fund of $30,000 appropri- ated by Congress for the purchase of 20 square miles of grazing grounds for the Montana bison range is sufficient to pay for the whole 28 square miles included in the orig- inal “ideal range.” This fact immediately suggested the desirability of securing the additional eight square miles which lay within reach without any further appropriation by Congress. 15 As a preliminary step on the part of the government, toward the final selection and fencing of the range, it was arranged in Washington that 3 officers, representing the 3 qiiterent bureaus Concerned: should meet at Ravalli, and make a careful examination of the proposed bison range and its environs. Accordingly, on October 28th, 1908, there met at Ravalli the following officers:—-Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Chief of the Biological Survey, Department of Agriculture; J. P. Martin, Engineer of the Forest Ser- vice (Department of Agriculture), and I’. X. Salzman, Chairman of the Allotment Commission of the Indian Bureau. Mr. Martin, an engineer of the Forest Service, was specially concerned in the fencing of the range, and studied the situation from that point of view, while Dr. Merriam considered the adaptability of the ground as a whole. The whole area between the Jocko River and Mission Creek was thoroughly inspected, and the party drove twice completely around the proposed range on the boun- daries proposed by the Bison Society, and spent several days in examining parts of the boundary requiring spe- cial attention. Dr. Merriam took many excellent photo- graphs, several of which are herewith reproduced, by per- mission of the Secretary of Agriculture. It was found that in view of the steep and rocky nature of the ills along the east and south sides it would be a difficult and expensive undertaking to run a fence on the original lines of the 20-mile range, whereas, on account of better conditions lower down a much larger area could be fenced at considerably less cost. It was agreed by the officers of the government that instead of pr oviding a fence only high enough to hold bison, the fence should be made 88 inches high, and thereby render the range available for elk and antelope. By the unanimous agreement of all parties interested, it was decided that Congress should be asked to authorize the purchase of additional land up to 20,000 acres with the $30,000 available, instead of taking 20 miles only, and turning back into the treasury the unexpended balance. It was also agreed that Congress should be asked for $3,000 more for fencing, as the original appropriation of $10,000 was insufficient. Accordingly, Senator Dixon 16 immediately took the steps that were necessary to secure action by Congress on both those matters. The appro- priation of $3,000 was granted in an item attached as an amendment to the General Deficiency bill, and authority for the purchase of not to exceed 20,000 acres was secured in the item for the Biological Survey in the Agricultural Appropriation bill. Both these measures became laws on March 4th. It now remains for the various government bureaus that are specially interested to finally determine what shall be the exact boundaries of the Montana National Bison Range, after which it will be the duty of the Forest Ser- vice to advertise and award a contract for the fence, gates, corrals and other things necessary to the purpose in view. It is extremely desirable that in the near future a herd of at least 25 prong-horned antelope should be colonized in the bison range, as a measure toward the preservation of that unique and interesting species from complete disap- pearance. ‘The continued settlement and agricultural de- velopment of the states that now contain remnant herds of antelope is absolutely certain to crowd that species out of existence there within the next fifty years or less, just as the range steer would have crowded the bison off the great pasture region, even had the hide-hunters spared him. I believe that a majority of the founders of the Montana bison herd will live to see the antelope disappear from every portion of the United States except the absolute, thoroughly-protected game preserves, such as the Yellow- stone Park, and the Wichita and Montana bison ranges.

CLARK WILLIAMS, Treasurer. New York City, May 5th, 1909. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.* INCE the last annual meeting of the Society, the Sec- retary has delivered one hundred and thirteen lectures, chiefly in New England, New York and the middle West, calling attention to the w ork of the American Bison Society, and appealing for subscriptions to the Montana National Bison Fund. Two of these lectures were de- livered at Dartmouth College, where the students now have under consideration two suggestions,—the adoption of the buffalo as the college totem, and the presentation to the United States gov ernment of a herd of buffaloes to be preserved on some national range. Both suggestions have met with the approval of President Tucker and of every member of the Faculty with whom the matter was discussed. Early in September, in obedience to instructions re- ceived at the last annual meeting of the Society, the Sec- retary left New Hampshire for the far West to visit the principal buffalo herds, with a view to learning their size and condition, and to get such other information concern- ing them as might be of interest or value to this Society. The Secretary was specially anxious to see the Pablo Herd on the Flathead Indian Reservation, Montana, recently bought by the Canadian Government, and to witness its round-up for shipment to Canada. This event promised to be the last of its kind in this country, and the Secretary greatly desired to be present to obtain first-hand informa- tion and photographs which would be invaluable in creat- ing interest from the lecture platform. Acting on the best infor mation obtainable, the Secretary started for the Flat- head Reservation, where the round-up was to take place between the first and the tenth of September. On reach- ing Missoula it was learned that there was no chance of the round-up coming off for several days, so a visit to the Government Buffalo herd in Yellowstone Park was made in the meantime. *All the photographs illustrating this article were made by Ernest Harold Baynes, Secretary. 43 ‘Bfo] 9llaajxXe 94} Je UleJUNOU OY} UO UdaS SI 95ueA JoWUNS 10 JRItoD soddy ayy Jo yard y ‘soojeyng our ainjord ay} JO a1ju9d oY} UL SJOp Yor|q OYJ “sajUIM OY} Ul paanised st ploy JUSWIUJaAOD ay} asayM ‘[easOD sano oy] Ul SI Bade JAAD] ay} JO Yonw “MUVd IVNOILVYN ANOLSMOTISA “AA TIVA UVWVT gamers + oad Someta GOVERNMENT BUFFALO HERD. Galloping through Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park. Through the courtesy of General S. B. M. Young and the Quartermaster at Fort Yellowstone, the Secretary was driven to the buffalo range in Lamar Valley, a dis- tance of thirty miles, somewhat south of east from Mam- moth Hot Springs. Most of the way lay through open rolling grass coun- try, with distant snow-covered mountains always in view. Prong-horned antelopes were seen at frequent intervals, sometimes singly, but usually in small bands. ‘Three coy- otes showed themselves during the trip, the last one within the buffalo range. The buffalo herd, numbering eighty-four head, and in- cluding fourteen calves of 1908, was found in what is known as the Lower Corral, a long, narrow meadow lying between the south side of the road and the Lamar River. This corral is about one and one-half miles long, and con- tains nearly four hundred acres. The Upper Corral, about six hundred acres in extent, is on the slope of a mountain on the north side of the road. Here the buffaloes are kept during the summer months, while the grass in the Lower Corral is permitted to grow. In the fall about one hundred tons of hay are cut for winter feeding, and then the buffaloes are turned in to spend the winter. With the exception of one cow, which has since died, the herd was in splendid condition. 45 “MaVd TVWNOILVN ANOLSMOTIAA “AXTIVA YVWYVT NI GYdH O1VSSNE LNAWNYFAOD Somalia, iii gle scion The corrals are enclosed with Montana anchor fencing. Six strands of heavy wire are stretched taut on posts set one rod apart, and between each pair of posts four upright wires are clamped upon the horizontal ones, making a stiff and very tidy-looking fence. An interesting feature of the Lower Corral is a beaver colony, which has dammed Rose Creek, splitting the stream into several smaller ones which flow through the corral, and give it natural irrigation. On return to Mammoth Hot Springs it was learned that on Sept. 16, Scout McBride had seen twenty of the wild buffalo in the valley of Pelican Creek. Other scouts report signs of three calves, one of which was actually seen. So the little remnant of the wild herd is probably increas- ing slowly. The Secretary then went to Missoula, and thence to the Flathead Indian Reservation. As the preparations for the roundup were still incomplete, the trip was continued to Kalispell, Montana, to inspect the Conrad herd. The journey across the Flathead Valley was made on horse- back, and for some distance after leaving Ravalli, the route lay close to the southern border of our new buffalo range, whose grassy slopes arose from the north or left-hand side- of the road. Numbers of cattle and horses could be seen grazing on the range, which seems an ideal one for the Society’s purpose. After a thirty-mile ride on horseback to Polson, at the north end of the Reservation, the Secretary left his horse and crossed Flathead Lake in one of the small steamers that make daily trips to Somers, which is about ten miles by rail from Kalispell. The Conrad buffalo herd was found on its summer range, an eight-hundred-acre hilly tract, part grass and part woodland, six miles west of Kalispell. A stout rail fence encloses the range. All the animals, numbering ninety-two head, including eighteen calves of 1908, were in good condition. As a herd they are very tractable, and as a rule can be rounded-up and handled much like domes- tic cattle. Every fall they are driven sixteen miles along the country roads, even through the streets of Kalispell, to their winter range, where they roam over sixteen hun- dred acres of grass and grain land until spring, when they are driven back again. x.

Presented to the American Bison Society by the C. E. Conrad Estate, Kalispell, Montana. The Secretary discussed with Mrs. C. EK. Conrad, = ¥ > \ x ‘ . executrix of the C. E.

Soon afterwards the following letter was received from Mrs. Conrad :— KALISPELL, Montana, October 5, 1908. Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes, Secretary, The American Bison Society, Meriden, N. H. My Dear Sir:— After considering your suggestion made while you were here a few days ago, namely, that inasmuch as Mr. Conrad was so much interested in the preservation of the pure-blood American Bison that he gave a great deal of personal time and means to the work, founding the C. E. Conrad Buffalo Herd, his heirs might present a pair to the Bison Society in his name——as a nucleus of the Flathead Reservation herd, we have decided to do so. We-have 48 “KALISPELL CHIEF.” The first buffalo presented to the American Bison Society. Gift of the C. E. Conrad Estate, Kalispell, Montana. selected for this gift the finest pair we own, “Kalispell Chief,” a nine year old male, an animal to which we believe it would be difficult to find an equal in the world today, and as his mate, the herd leader, a vigorous, sagacious cow, having a calf each year,—one which would be of the greatest value to the new herd. We have depended upon her wise head and good sense in our management of the herd, and have no cow to equal her. Hoping that the Bison Society will accept this gift in the spirit in which it is given, and wishing every success to the undertaking in which every one who gives these mat- ters thought must be keenly interested, I remain, Yours very truly. Auicia D. ConraD. Mrs. Conrad agreed to deliver the buffaloes in crates at Polson, at the south end of Flathead Lake, free of charge, and the Secretary arranged with Messrs. Ethell Bros. of Rayalli, to carry them free from Polson to the range. The Secretary then returned to the Flathead Reserva- tion, meeting Michel Pablo at Ronan.

Howard Douglas and Alexander Ayotte, representatives of the Canadian Government, he drove out six or eight miles to see the last of the Pablo buf- faloes, which were found on the east side of the Pend D Oreille River. ‘The Secretary counted two hundred and fifty in one herd, and saw in the distance another group which must have numbered at least fifty. They were very suspicious, and though they permitted us to drive reasonably near, the appearance of a man, afoot or horseback, was enough to send them flying across the prairie. Messrs. Douglas and Ayotte were present to superin- tend the shipment of this splendid herd, and to accompany it to its new home, Buffalo Park, Wainwright, Alberta. This great preserve is one hundred miles southeast of Eid- monton, on the Grand Trunk Pacific. It contains one hundred and twenty-two thousand acres, enclosed with a fourteen-strand, nine-gauge wire fence, seventy-three miles in length. Three hundred of the buffalo now at Elk Island Park will also be shipped to Buffalo Park. ‘Two hundred miles west of Edmonton is a tract of five thou- sand square miles, known as Jasper Park, a portion of which the Canadian Government will probably fence off in 1910 for another buffalo range. Extensive and costly preparations were being made to corral the Pablo buffaloes, but the Secretary on being in- formed by Mr. Pablo that the round-up could not take place until at least two weeks later, decided to leave at once, in order that he might visit the other large herds before it was time to return to the Kast. The round-up finally took place in November, but unfortunately the buf- faloes escaped from the corral into which they had at great expense been driven, and it was then decided to make no effort to recapture them until May, 1909. On October 9th, the Secretary started for Salt Lake City, to see the Dooly buffalo herd which roams Antelope Island, in the Great Salt Lake. In passing through Butte, Montana, there was a delay of some hours, and the opportunity was taken to visit the buffaloes at Columbia Gardens, four miles east of the city. There are four full-blooded buffaloes in this herd, one bull, two cows and a yearling heifer. Besides these there 51 ANTELOPE ISLAND, GREAT SALT LAKE. View from the ford by which the southeast corner of it is approached from Salt Lake City. are two cattaloes—one female, half buffalo and half black polled Angus; and one male, three-fourths buffalo and one-fourth black polled Angus. They have a range of about three acres, and they are fed on grass and hay in the summer, and on hay exclusively in the winter. All these animals are the property of Ex-Senator W. A. Clark, who has loaned them to Columbia Gardens. At Salt Lake City the Secretary met Mr. John KE. Dooly, the owner of the Antelope Island buffaloes, and as Mr. Dooly’s guest paid a visit to the herd. The island is about twenty miles northwest of Salt Lake City, whence it is approached by a fairly good carriage road, across a wide stretch of flat, alkaline country. The last four miles of the drive to Antelope Island was through the lake it- self, at a ford where the water was so shallow that it barely covered the horses’ shoes. Antelope Island is about sixteen miles long, north and south, and about five miles wide, east and west, at its widest point. It contains between twenty-five and thirty thousand acres, much of it mountainous. The island itself 52 BUFFALO CALF BEING NURSED BY A DOMESTIC COW. Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake. seems to be a continuation of the Oquirre Range, which lies west of Salt Lake City. An irregular mountain ridge extends north and south, practically the entire length of the island, its highest point being perhaps 4700 feet above sea level, or 500 feet above the shore of the lake. West of the ridge the country is very rough and precipitous, but on the eastern side there is a wide, level plain, extending north and south. Most of the island is covered with sage-brush, but quan- tities of grass grow between, and the fact that it maintains a thousand head of Hereford cattle, besides a hundred horses and a herd of buffalo now numbering forty-five, 1s proof that there is a good deal of pasture. There is also an abundance of water, supplied chiefly by springs, of which there are more than twenty. Seventeen of them are on the east side of the ridge. There is also a number of very small ponds, none of them over one hundred vards in length. There is very little timber on the island. It consists chiefly of dwarf cedar,—a few acres here and there on the 53 “SBXO] ‘JYSIUpOOD je oSues s}I uC ‘dadH OTVAANA LHDINGOOD slopes of the mountain. There are also a few deciduous trees, most of them in the immediate vicinity of the springs. The ford at which the Secretary crossed the lake is at the south end of the island, on the east side. From the landing-place a hard, dirt road runs along the shore to a brick ranch house, built there by the Mormons, and now used as a dwelling by Mr. Dooly’s foreman. It is sur- rounded by out-buildings and corrals. At the corrals were three buffalo calves that the foreman was trying to domes- ticate. Two were fed on milk from a bucket, and the third had for a foster mother a graded Hereford cow, from whom the little fellow was allowed to take his nourishment at stated periods. After dinner a party of four, including the writer, set out on horseback to look for the buffalo herd. ‘The first buffalo seen was a solitary old bull. He was quietly graz- ing down by the shore of the lake, but when the Secretary attempted to photograph him, he showed much _ spirit, charging the horse repeatedly. One of the party, Chaun- cey White, photographed him in one of these charges, but owing to the distance, the picture is very small. Later in the afternoon we came upon a bunch of twelve buffaloes, half way up the east side of the mountain. They were extremely wild, dashing through the sage-brush like jack-rabbits. ‘They were the most active buffalo the writer has ever seen. Mounted on a big, thoroughbred horse, the Secretary was able to get near enough to obtain photographs of the animals as they hurried over the rough ground, but it required continuous hard riding to keep up with them. Next morning, in company with the foreman the writer crossed the ridge and visited the west side of the island. From every point there are wonderful views of the lake. The country is very rugged and broken, and much of it rocky, but there are numerous draws and coulees, most of them with more or less pasture, and all offering excellent shelter for the animals. We saw a bunch of fifteen buffalo dash away from near the top of the ridge, and through a field glass watched them as they ran for perhaps two miles, until they were lost around a bend in the hills. Several other buffaloes were seen singly, or in small groups. Of the forty-five head now said to be on Antelope Island, the 55 Secretary saw thirty-five, including the three young ani- mals at the corrals. Five other calves were born in 1908. The writer regretted that he was unable to spend more than twenty-four hours on this island, as he believes that an exhaustive report would show it to be an ideal range on which to establish a national buffalo herd. Mr. Dooly states that all parts of the west coast and the northern half of the east coast of Antelope island may be approached by boat from a promontory crossed by the Lucin Cut-off of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Excursions to the island may be made from Saltair, a bathing resort twenty miles from Salt Lake City, on the line of the Saltair Railroad. In answer to a question by the Secretary, Mr. Dooly stated that he would consider a proposition to sell the Island for a buffalo range. It is an interesting fact that although there is every opportunity for the cattle and buffaloes to wander through the shallow water to the mainland, they never do so, and one old bull that the writer chased out into the lake several times, always turned back after going a quarter of a mile or so, sometimes landing far away from the point where he entered the water. On returning to Salt Lake City, the Secretary had an- other interview with Mr. Dooly, and the latter generously promised to contribute a pair of young buffaloes to the herd which the American Bison Society proposes to es- tablish on the new government range in north-western Montana. After leaving Utah, the writer went straight to Good- night, ‘Texas, to see the buffalo herd of Charles Goodnight. This herd is of more than usual interest Inasmuch as it 1s probably the only one descended exclusively from animals roped on the plains, either by the owner or under his direc- tions. But it is chiefly to Mrs. Goodnight that we are indebted for this famous herd. In 1878 when the buf- faloes were being slaughtered all around her, this lady con- ceived the idea of saving some of them. She begged her husband and brothers to get her some of the tawny calves, and let her try to rear them at the Palo Duro Ranch, then the Goodnight home. Personally, Charles Goodnight was not very enthusiastic over the suggestion, but thinking that the calves would amuse his wife in her isolated home, 56 GROUP OF CATTALO. Goodnight Ranch, Goodnight, Texas. one day when he was off with his cattle outfit, he roped two, tied their legs and sent them back to her in a cart. Soon after, her brothers, the Dyer boys, roped two more. She reared them all, though one of the heifers died before it was of breeding age, leaving one bull and two heifers as the nucleus of the now famous herd. Though the Goodnights have plenty of healthy senti- ment, this herd has not been perpetuated for sentimental reasons only. Charles Goodnight is a practical ranchman, and he has treated the buffaloes as he has treated his cattle and sheep and hogs,—as a business proposition,—as a source of revenue. He has sold many buffaloes at splen- did prices, and after a life-time’s experience, he earnestly maintains that the buffalo is the most profitable farm ani- mal in America today. So far he has made no use of buf- falo wool, but on learning of the Secretary’s experiments with this material, he said that this spring he would shear a number of the animals and send the wool to be woven into cloth. Mr. Goodnight was also the pioneer in the breeding of cattalo, an animal which, as its coined name suggests, is a -“ vl “joys YyNOS ‘allaiq WO Jeau e8ues i194} uQ “SHO WSANA dITIHd cross between domestic cattle and the buffalo. It has been his experience that these animals will interbreed only when they have been reared together practically from infancy. In all of his experiments he has used black polled Angus cattle, partly because this breed is very hardy, like the buffalo, and partly because of its solid black color. There are perhaps one hundred of the cross-bred animals on the Goodnight ranch, ranging all the way from what are prac- tically full-blood polled Angus cattle, to creatures with so little domestic blood in them that no one but the breeder could tell that they were not full-blood buffaloes. Be- tween these extremes the animals vary greatly in appear- ance. Some favoring the buffalo,-have horns; others lean- ing toward the polled Angus in this respect, have none. Some are almost black; others, a rich seal brown; and among the rest, many shades of brindle are represented. Many of the animals, especially those of the first and second crosses, are of great size, much larger than either the buffalo or the Angus cattle. Where the buffalo blood predominates it is shown by the general formation of the body, by the great height of the hump, and by the length of the hair, especially the hair of the forehead, throat and fore-legs. ‘The tail, too, is usually very much shorter than that of the pure domestic animals. As the amount of the buffalo blood is increased, these characteristics become more pronounced; as it is eliminated they tend to disap- pear. By crossing back toward either race, four or five times in succession, the characteristics of the other race are usually so nearly wiped out that no trace of them is visible, externally at least. Some of the animals observed at the Goodnight ranch, notably those with a preponderance of buffalo blood, had wonderful coats. These were fairly long, lustrous and apparently silky, and in the cases of the dark-skinned animals, very beautiful. According to Mr. Goodnight, the value of the cattalo as a farm animal will be based, first on its hide, which is more beautiful and more generally useful than a buffalo- robe; second upon its beef, of which it produces a large quantity, said to be of excellent quality; and third, upon its hardiness, since it is said to be able to thrive under con- ditions which are fatal to range cattle. 59 It is not the purpose of the writer to discuss in this re- port the details of Mr. Goodnight’s interesting experi- ments, of his many failures and of his plucky fights to overcome them. Suffice it to say that although a good start has been made, the experiment will have to be carried much farther before the cattalo can be produced at a cost sufficiently low to make it commercially valuable. But it seems not unlikely that a series of careful scientific experi- ments, conducted under the direction of someone making a specialty of the breeding of hybrids, might bring results that would more than pay for the time and money ex- pended. Were such a series of experiments undertaken, I doubt not that Mr. Goodnight would co-operate by giv- ing the results of his own long and valuable experience. The Goodnight buffaloes and cattaloes roam over a range of about three thousand acres, half prairie and half broken country, the latter partly grown over with scrub trees and bushes. Natural springs supply the water, which is piped into iron tanks and into natural hollows in the ground. At the time of the Secretary’s visit, the ani- mals were in splendid condition, except that in some cases the heel fly had bothered them, so that they had licked off the hair in some places. Twenty buffalo calves were born in this herd in 1908. Mr. and Mrs. Goodnight readily consented to give a pair of yearling buffaloes for the Montana Range, and a little later Mr. Goodnight formally presented the animals in the following letter :— GoopniGcuT, TrExas, November 25, 1908. Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes, Meriden, N. H. My dear sir and friend :— This is to assure you that any time during March and April, not later than May Ist, we will load you free for your National Park in Montana, and to go to no other preserve, one pair of choice buffalo yearlings, one bull and one heifer. Yours respectfully, C. GoopNIGHT. There remained but one of the large western herds to visit,—that of James Philip. This herd is established near Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and to this town the Secretary 60 TEAM OF THREE-YEAR-OLD BUFFALO STEERS. Loaned by the Blue Mountain Forest Association, and broken to the yoke and to harness by the Secretary of the American Bison Society. went after leaving the Goodnight ranch. Next to the Pablo herd, the Philip buffalo herd is the lar gest in the country, numbering one hundred and eighty-eight head at the time of the writer’ s visit. In addition to the buffaloes there were nine cattaloes in the herd. They have a range of about seven thousand acres of rolling country, some six miles from Fort Pierre and close to the Missouri River. This range is rapidly becoming too small to afford suffi- cient grazing, and unless it can be increased, it seems in- evitable that Mr. Philip will be obliged to reduce his splen- did herd. ‘The United States Gov ernment is anxious to help him by leasing to him some public land adjoining his own, but there are certain legal obstacles in the shape of claims filed by persons, who it is said, have no intention of using the land, at least for some time to come. It is ear- nestly hoped that these claims will be withdrawn, and Mr. Philip permitted to use it as a part of his buffalo range for many years. The Philip buffaloes were in splendid condition. The Secretary visited them three times, and saw practically all 61 of them. ‘There were some splendid bulls among them. The cows in the Philip herd paid no attention to a carriage, but many of them would chase a horseman the moment he came near. So vigilant and savage were some of these cows, that it was difficult to get close enough to take good photographs of the herd. The Secretary talked with Mr. Philip of the National herd to be established in Montana, and as he said “good- bye,” Mr. Philip added, “Well, when you get your fence up, you can count on me for a pair of young buffaloes.” On his return to the East, the Secretary called upon Austin Corbin, President of the Blue Mountain Forest Association, which owns the Corbin buffalo herd of one hundred and fifty head at Newport, N. H. After listen- ing to an account of the writer’s trip in the West, Mr. Corbin remarked:—“Well! Why don’t you ask us for some buffaloes?” 'The kind suggestion was promptly acted upon, and the Society was the richer by three buf- faloes, immediately. The writer regrets that limited time prevented him from visiting the smaller herds of the West. He had orig- inally planned to visit a number of them, but the delay caused by the postponement of the Pablo round-up left barely time to look over the large herds. Incidentally, however, while passing through Chicago, and Davenport, Iowa, the Secretary visited the buffalo herds in the Zoo- logical Gardens in these cities, and found them flourishing. The Lincoln Park herd in Chicago was visited on the 14th of June, and the first calf of the year was born that day. This buffalo herd has been at Lincoln Park for about twenty years, and in spite of the fact that the enclosure contains only about one-quarter of an acre, the animals appear to be in excellent health. On June 22nd, the Secretary visited Fejervary Park, Davenport, Iowa, and there found a little herd of nine head, five of which had been born in the Park. They have a range of about six acres, partly wooded and with a pretty little valley running through it. No calves had been born in 1908 up to the time of the Secretary’s visit, but the superintendent reported the birth of one later in the summer. | 62 To summarize, the writer found practically all the buf- faloes visited looking well and contented, and as far as could be judged from external appearances, in excellent health. By the majority of the private owners, however, they are regarded as salable property, and like other salable property, they are disposed of from time to time to almost anyone who cares to buy them, regardless of the purpose for which they are bought. For this reason, every effort should be made to place as many as possible of these splendid animals in the hands of the federal government, for permanent preservation and increase. In closing, the Secretary wishes to express his thanks to the many people who in one way or another assisted him in the work of inspecting and photographing the buffalo herds visited in the interest of the Society. And while thanks are in order, the writer wishes to ex- press his appreciation of the services rendered to this cause by Austin Corbin and the Blue Mountain Forest Associa- tion of which Mr. Corbin is the president. Since the be- ginning of this movement, Mr. Corbin, and indeed every member of the Association, has generously helped to fur- ther it. For the carrying out of experiments, and for use in exhibitions calculated to create interest in this campaign, the splendid buffalo herd at Newport, N. H., has ever been at the Society’s disposal. Ernest Haroip BAyNEs. Since the above report was written, John E. Dooly has formally presented his pair of buffaloes in the following letter :-— Saut LAKE City, UtTan, March 6, 1909.

Stephan, Superintendent of the Zoo- logical Garden, to visit the buffalo herd there. There were thirteen head, five males and eight females, including two calves of 1908. ‘They all seemed to be in excellent health.

Prepared and placed in the American Museum of Natural History under the direction of The American Bison Society. The dots on the map above represent the limit of the bison’s range over North America about one hundred years ago. In 1850, at the time the mining industries in California were developing, ‘“‘buffalo’”’ were still very abundant, and were seen in countless numbers by those traveling the plains. In the year 1875, they occupied only a relatively small portion of the country. The northern herd occupied the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the sparsely settled plains of the northwest, and the southern herd roamed over the country that now comprises part of the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma. 66 RELIEF MAP SHOWING THE STAGES IN EXTINCTION OF AMERICAN BISON AND LOCATION OF THE EXISTING HERDS, CAPTIVE AND WILD. Prepared and placed in The American Museum of Natural History under the direction of The American Bison Society. In 1886, the work of extermination was practically completed, and only a few scattered herds remained. About 325 wild buffalo are in existence to-day. Of these, 300 occupy a small area west of the Athabasca River in British America, and 25 live in the Yellowstone National Park. The total number of living bison on January 1, 1908, was approximately 1917. 67 Mr. I. H. Kennard reported that his Committee had placed in the Mammal Hall of the American Museum of Natural History, a large colored relief map showing the range of the buffalo in early times and the locations of the principal herds still existing. Mr. Harry V. Radford spoke of the extended trip he was about to take in the Northwest, and the Executive Committee was authorized to appropriate a sum not ex- ceeding two hundred dollars to enable Mr. Radford to visit the wild wood-bison of Athabasca, and report his observations on this herd to the American Bison Society. In order to show appreciation of the generosity of those who contributed to the fund for the purchase of the Mon- tana National Bison Herd, but who were not already members of the Society, it was decided to enroll all sub- scribers to this fund on the Society’s books, and on motion each was given the form of membership to which his sub- scription entitled him, viz:—those having subscribed one thousand dollars or more, a patronship; those having sub- scribed one hundred dollars or more, but less than one thousand dollars, a life membership; those having sub- scribed five dollars or more but less than one hundred dol- lars, a membership for one year; those having subscribed one dollar or more but less than five dollars, an associate membership for one year. It was further decided that those who had presented the Society with living buffaloes which in the opinion of the Executive Committee were worth one thousand dollars or more, should be made patrons of the Society, and that those who had presented buffaloes, which in the opinion of the Executive Committee were worth less than one thou- sand dollars, should be made life members of the Society. The following members were elected to fill the nine vacancies occurring in the Board of Managers:—Mrs. Ezra R. Thayer, Clark Williams, William Lyman Under- wood, Morton J. Elrod, Madison Grant, H. C. Bumpus, C. J. Jones, A. Bowen Perry, and Charles H. Stonebridge. The auditing committee appointed by the President reported that the accounts of the Treasurer had been ex- amined and found correct, and the meeting adjourned. 65 TREASURER’S REPORT, January 1, 1908, ro DecEMBER 31, 1908.
