Vanderbilt es tate, part of which has been purchas ed by the government. The tand is lo cated near Asheville and Biltmore. Ow ing to the protection ragaiiist hunting which hail been, afforded the. tract for a number of years, the game has not been killed out, as is the case in most places in the Southern Mountains. Deer wild turkey, and pheattants are said to be plentiful. 'The forest acrvie said: "After it was known that the tract would be acquired by the government many of the local citizens urged that the protection to the game should be continued. The North Carolina legis lature passed an act whereby the state consented to the enactment by Con gress of laws for the protection of game, birds and fish on any lands pur chased bv the government under tbe Weeks law in the western part of tha state. ' .' 'As a gamo iprMerve, no hunting will be allowed on the -forest and as the deer and other game increase on the area, it is expected that the over flow will drift -out of -the forest ond gradually restrict adjacent lands. A movement is now on foot to place a herd of elk and one of buffalo in the pjeserve this winter. ' Regulations governing1-the eamp ing and fishing privileges have been drawn up in co-operation with local ei- ti.enlf bs, and wtH issued bv the Secretary of Agriculture.
