ANIMALS WILL ROAM AGAIN IN WILDS OF U, S, 300-Mile Game Refuge to Be Stocked With Hoofed Creatures. B v Science Service PHILADELPHIA, May 15.—Animals of the old west, the west of the covered wagon, will be given their chance to stage a comeback in territory that was theirs, but where no living man ever has Seen them. The 300-mile strip of Mississippi bottom lands, set aside by congress as a great game refuge, is to be stocked with bison, pronghorn antelope, elks and other hoofed and horned creatures that the redskins and earliest French traders knew a couple of centuries ago. This promise w'as held out by Verncn Bailey of the United States biological survey, at the meeting of the American Society of Mammalcglsts here. Bailey spent all of last summer in the region, studying its present life and its possibilities for supportng representatives of its original population of wild things. But last summer was by no means the first time he saw the area. He u'ent there first in 1369, and on that occasion he traveled in a covered wagon. The region as it stands now consists of a strip of rich bottom land on either side of the Mississippi, subject to frequent floods, alternated with droughts. It is due for a radical change, W. C. Henderson of the American Museum of Natural History said, if the present plans of the war department are carried out. These plans call for the establishment of a nine-foot channel instead of the present six-foot one. This will mean the building of a series of about twenty dams, converting the river into a lone line of stepped up lakes, doing away with most of the current, establishing a stable water level and flooding some of the land permanently. On the whole, it will be a good

One problem, .however, will become pressing, that of water pollution; but Henderson is of the opinion that this will find its own solution. The careless cities along the bank will find their .sewage staying in their own front yards, and in sheer self-defense have to make cleaner and more scientific disposal of it than they do now.
