' Xt Is estimated that some 2,00 buffaloes
)nr now alive, counting the Canadian herd,
atetunatad to contain 600. Yet It Is sup
posed that at the eloa of the civil war
there were still miliums or them on the
plains. It is to protect enough of them
to prevent the absolute extermination of
the species that the American Bison society
jras organised.
The virtual extermination of the speclea

fhey could not. find any. The buffalo was
,gone. The parties drove back to the towns
empty handed, wondering what had become
s)f the race of buffaloes.
Bo sudden was the extermination, . ths
pnd caught the killers themselves unpre
pared. The Bmlthaonlan Institution was
aught without an adequate set of sped-
mens. Aa expedition under William T.

sateur the specimens, with much difficulty. ,
jFMekere 4 "Wolves Kill Survivors.
A bard of 0O animals remained In Yellow
Stone park. Poachers have reduced It to
dsn teen animals. There Is one wild herd 1
left In Canada, and the poachers are not
allowed to get at It. These animals, prr
haps too, range over ths Peace river coun
try, southwest of Q rent S ave lake. They
thrive and propagate, but cannot rata their
young.
The wolf packs beaet them. No number
f wolves dare to try to pull down the bull
bisons or even the cows; but they 'ambush
the calve. A frisky calf la pretty sure
to stray off a few rods from his mother
sooner or later. That is when the watchful
paok gets at him.
Ills throat Is torn open In aa Instant.
In ths next the parent has charged up to
protect him. Too late; and the killers
have started back for their cover.
At a safe dlstanco they sit on their
haunches, lick the blood and kalr oft their
Jaws and watch, by and by the bisons
move away to pasture further. The wolves
8nd tho calf where he haa fallen. If the
Wolves could be. exterminated these last
Wild bison would thrive In spite of short
pasture and deep snows. But the wolves
are doing well. The Canadian bison herd
seams not likely to last longer than the
present generation.
Blaa la Captivity.
Ths other animals are la captivity. Shows
and menageries keep a great Prt of these.
There are besides several herds belonging
to western ranchmen. They total several
hundred head. -
la tha east there Is the Corbln herd. In
Bine Mountain park, near alertden, N. II.
This herd of about ltt head has been care
fully kept pure-blooded. It la said to be
Crse com the taint common among captive
bison, the cross with domestic cattle. .
The western herds have been sometimes
allowed, sometimes made, to cross with do
mestic calt'e. Ths younger animals In these
herds are, therefore. In most cases likely to
be of Impure race. The proportion of pure
blooded buffalo In these hards is constantly
decreasing.
Such are the conditions making for ths
Boat annihilation of the species today, ac
cording to Ernest" Harold Baynes, who Is
fighting to give the bison a chance for his
life. ,
Only eighteen true wild buffalo remain In
this country today those In the Yellowstone
park. Of captive animals there are still a
number left, mostly those taken before
the end of the great killing and their off
spring. But these are all exposed to one
danger or unolber.
Hybrids B4 aa Rasrkta
Ths ranch buffaloes breed hybrids. It has
become hard to get a pure blooded animal
from the ranches. The confined animals
kept In menageries snd private shows. If
pure, do not breed well. They breed, but
deteriorate. Small bones,' short legs, loose
(ondons and large bellies mark the second
and third generation.
The parked buffaloes sre the best off.
Private herds are permitted to range at
Urge over private preserves. Several such
private herds still exist wealthy people's
fancies. 1

Hampshire and the Whitney herd on Octo

They had done It chiefly for deviltry,
their master supposes, end not from ner

Once taught that ths trick was in bad

and refused to break tbelr step for the
reddest devil carts.
Advantages and Drawbacks.-
Mr. Baynes became a war nf the merit
of his bison team as a mvana of interesting
people by the Interest that he found that
he was taking In them himself. They were
amusing company, an odd combination of
playfulness and pugnacity and strength. .

his associates to Insure preservation by

T. 8. Palmer of the biological survey. Olf

the Broklyn Institute are Interested in the
movement.
Kxperleaee of aa Eathaslast.
Mr. Baynes has been bury raising popu
lar interest in the scheme. Ha boUeves
that besides the usual method of lectures,
pictures and writing he has found an orig
inal way. He has enlisted the help of the
buffaloes themselves.
He secured scceas to the Corbln herd and
borrowed two likely young bull calves.
After a year of training theae were driven
In team with reins and bit at shows and
exhibitions la New England laat summer.
The bison calf wants to fight about aa

Bayne's bln team was no easy matter.
Nobody but a naturalist and student of ani

did.
Mr. Baynes was a sprinter of some form

To the animals' credit they behaved
perfectly at the Boston B port men's show,
where they were a great success la their
mission of arousing Interest, -
Oaverasseat Takes Held. '
Mr. Baynes points tx what the American
Bison society and its friends have already
accomplished and believes that much will
be done. The government has accepted a
herd of twelve buffalo and will put them
on an area of fifteen square miles set apart
on the Wichita reservation. There they will
be taken this year after calving time. They
are expected to return to their .wild habits
and to thrive, with little care. Without
mischance they will Increase rapidly, tha
scientists believe. This is the type of
colonisation which the society aims for.
Its Intention Is to secure the planting of
similar herds on various government and
state lands. The aiHmals tn theae colonies
arc to be virtually at liberty within a large
fenced area and to be left to find their own
food as far as possible. By this means It is
hoped to Insure the perpetuation of living
examples of the one mighty animal.

Commenting On tue facia revealed by the
investigation of the Interstate Commerce
commission Into tho railroads controlled
by B. H. Harriman. the Wail Street Jour
nal haa this to say:.
B. H. Harriman is after a transconti
nental railroad. If not two of them. Ths
meaning of tho financial operations of ths
Union Pacific, as revealed by ths Inter
state Commerce commission, la as clear as
the Imprint of tha hand. -
It la now public knowledge that B. H.
Harriman has advised his board of direc
tors that the Union Pacific should buy
control of ths Illinois Central. That be
meana to have control of the Baltimore A
Ohio and that tho St. Joseph A Grand
Island, which ha has also bought. Is to
help furnish the connecting link between
this and the Union Pacific, there Is equally
no doubt.
Tha union of the New York Central, the
Chicago A Northwestern and the Union
Pacific to make a transcontinental line be
tween New York and Ban Francisco Is a
project which datea from time Immemorial.
Whether ths purchase of Chicago A North
western stock and New York Central stock
by the Union Pacific la the first step In
securing control of these two roads Is a
riddle which everybody is entitled to guess
at Associates cf E. H. Harriman said
recently that the ownership of the Union
Pacific In theae two roads was of no ul
terior algnlfleance and that the purchase
was merely a complimentary Investment' by
a railroad which has surplus funds to In'
vest.
On June SS last the Union Pacific had
(3.000,000 in caah assets, (21,000,000 of this
being In tha. form of cash on hand and
t34.00O.00S In ' the form of demand loan
Since then it has received about $55,000,000
cash from tho sale of Hill stocks. It has
also received, probably, (10,000,000 surplus
from operations during the last six months
June 30 last It had about 115,000,000 In tha
form of dividends and coupons payable.

The Union Pacific s cash today Is low,
It haa not more than C 000,000 or $10,000,000
on band. This would leave slightly less
than S100.000.0u0 available during the Ust
six months tor the purchase of securities.
Yet the Union Pacific, according to ths
statements given out Friday, must have
expended not leas than 113.000,000 since
June SO In securing other stocks.

The. Railroad Securities stock represents
control of about HT.O0O.00O market value
of Illinois Central stock. Tho table' shows
196,000 shares of Illinois Central held di
rectly by ths Union Pacific, but ths real
amount Is somewhat below this. Directly
and through ths Railroad Securities com
pany the Union Pacific has control of 128.-
121.100 Illinois Central stock.
It Is doubtful if ths Nsw York Central
stock wss bought for 11M per share. But
It is safe to say that In all ths Union Pa
clflo has spent from $115,000,000 to $120,000,030
for Railroad Securities since Juns to last.
It Is estimated above that control of
Railroad Securities company was bought
for $5,000,000. Perhaps ths real figure Is
above -this. Ths Railroad Securities com
pany has $3,000,000 par value common stock.
$2,000,000 preferred stock and $S. 000,00) bonds
outstanding, or $12,600,000 par value securi
ties In all. ' i
The Important question resulting from
the foregoing Is, why did Mr. Harriman,
on behalf of the Union Pacific, contract
lo buy more stocks than the Union Pacific
could pay for at ths time the stocks were
bought? Perhaps the answer' Is contained
In the fact that the Union Pacific today
has about $30,000,000 Hill stocks which may
be disposed of and the disposal of which
It appears would Just about square the In
vestment business of the Union Pacific up.
The fact that these stocks were purchased
by the Union Pacific has been published
during the past few months exclusively by
the Wall Street Journal the one exception
being the St. Joseph A Grand Island.
B. H. Harriman has Imperial ambitions.
There Is no doubt that he has had the ad
vice of eminent counsel In all his opera
tion. Whether there Is any conflict of
opinion between this advice and ths opin
ion of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion remains to be seen.

the fault Is not one of defective workman
