the chickens be fed and they
couldn't limit the winter sundhine

They can give Alaska back to the
Indians. They can buck all the
pioneer inconviences and spend

young birds as soon as they are
hatched and care for them until
they are old enough to turn loose.
It is believed they will live on
the waste grain in the fields
about the valley. This movement
will carry weight in obtaining
other game for this region.
Any one interested in helping
to make this a success can drop
in and talk it over with Mr.Cope.
Within a week or ten days a
meeting will be held for the
purpose of forming a Gun Club
in this community. Watch for
further information concerning; it.
