...being saved from extermination only by the laws recently passed at the instigation of the League of American Sportsmen. One picture, showing five miles of bleached buffalo bones, was unusually effective in illustrating the result of the wholesale slaughter indulged in by the skin-hunters in destroying the immense herds of the middle west. In fact the establishment of the Yellowstone National Park has been the sole means of protecting many of the western animals from complete extinction.
