Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 April 1890 — Rehabilitation of the Buffalo. [ARTICLE]

Rehabilitation of the Buffalo.

“Buffalo” Jones of Garden City, Kas., is debating whether to run lot Congress or to give all his attention to the restoration of the buffalo.' He now has a herd of about 100 animals. His plan is to secure from tbe Government a large track for a range in No Man’s • Land, where he may engage undisturbed in the work of recreating the American bison. In ten he estimates that the animals will Damber 2,000, and in ten more years 25,000. If j, the gentleman can restore to the world the buffalo it will pay him to give up his political aspirations and devote all his time to bis herd. The fame of the man who saved tbe buffalo from extinction will be lasting, while a Congressman is known only while be can send out seeds and pamphlets from Washington, postage free.— Linceln Journal.
