William T. Hornaday writes to inform Theodore Roosevelt of his opposition to the proposed lease of Stinking Lake, New Mexico, to a sportsman’s club looking to “turn the finest wild-fowl bredding ground in New Mexico into a duck “preserve.”” Hornaday believes that Stinking lake should be designated as a national bird preserve.
