What’s Happening to
The Game
Governor Scott C. Bone is keenly
alive to the fact that the game in this
section is decreasing rapidly. He recent
ly wrote to a local hunter, asking for
a specific program by which it may de
protected. I he hunter referred th<
governor to Washington, in othei
words, to the Agent of Indian A ffairs
Briefly the proposed plan is this:
1 Form a reservation on some is
| land or some part of the coast.
2 Put the Indians on the reservat
j ion and appoint an agent to handle af
|
fairs similar to the way they are hand
led at agencies in Indian Territory.
o Establish schools and stress voca
tional training, that the rising genera
tion of natives would be equipped to
meet the advance of the white man
and not be lost in the forward march
oi pr gress
Naturally the thought comes to us
that, "the Indian was here first, so why
not let him live as he wishes", but ma
ture thought convinces most of us that
such a policy is not the best by any
means, because we must take the fol
lowing facts into consideration:
1 The advance of the whiteman is
irristible. rl he contact of the white
man with the aboriginal is deleterious
the aboriginal absorbing as he does, the
vices of the white man is seldom bene
hted by promiscuous assentation.
it has been found, however that ed
ucation does much toward eieminating
the racial discrepancy.
2 With the small bands of natives,
famine is a very reai and ever present
soecter. Every winter iepoitsof famine
reach the missions and public from
isolated bands. W ith reservations this
could never happen.
The plan suggested would only era
brace those natives who are not being
educated at the missions or government
schools.
The cost of food and upkeep of the
reservation would be more than off
set by the saving of game. In addition
to the saving on game, th^ natives
would be educated and would be an
asset not a detriment to the territory.
Wishing Youa Happy and
Prosperous New Year.
