(m) WICHITA MOUNTAINS WILDLIFE REFUGE

Act of January 24, 1905 (33 Stat. 614), as amended (16 U.S.C. 684-686)

GAME BREEDING AREAS

SECTION 1. The President of the United States is authorized to designate such areas in the Wichita National Forest and in the Grand Canyon National Forest as should, in his opinion, be set aside for the protection of game animals and birds and be recognized as a breeding place therefor. (Jan. 24, 1905, c. 137, § 1, 33 Stat. 614; June 29, 1906, c. 3593, § 1, 34 Stat. 607.)

HISTORICAL NOTE

Act Jan. 24, 1905, and Act June 29, 1906, are identical in language throughout, except that the earlier act authorizes the setting aside of areas in Wichita National Forest, while the latter authorizes areas in Grand Canyon National Forest. The two acts have been combined to form this section and sections 2 and 3.

HUNTING, TRAPPING, KILLING, OR CAPTURING GAME UNLAWFUL

SEC. 2. When such areas have been designated as provided for in section 1 of this Act, hunting, trapping, killing, or capturing of game animals and birds upon the lands of the United States within the limits of said areas shall be unlawful, except under such regulations as may be prescribed from time to time, by the Secretary of the Interior.

When such areas have been designated as provided in section 1 of this Act, hunting, trapping, killing, or capturing of game animals upon the lands of the United States within the limits of said areas shall be unlawful, except under such regulations as may be prescribed from time to time by the Secretary of Agriculture. (Jan. 24, 1905, c. 137, § 2, 33 Stat. 614; June 29, 1906, c. 3593, § 2, 34 Stat. 607; Reorg. Plan No. II, § 4(f), eff. July 1, 1939, 4 F.R. 2731, 53 Stat. 1433; June 25, 1948, c. 645, §§ 8, 9, 62 Stat. 860.)

HISTORICAL NOTE

Words "in the Wichita National Forest and in the Grand Canyon National Forest" were inserted, and "Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture, respectively" was substituted for "Secretary of Agriculture" because of 1939 Reorg. Plan No. II, which transferred the Bureau of Biological Survey from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior. The Wichita National Forest,

which was then administered by that Bureau, was affected
by the transfer. However, the Grand Canyon National
Forest was administered by the Forest Service and was con-
sequently not affected.

1948 Amendment.-Act June 25, 1948, §§ 8, 9, amended
section by omitting the penal provisions which are now
covered by section 41 of Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Pro-
cedure, and by omitting reference to the Secretary of Agri-
culture.

Effective Date of 1948 Amendment.-Section 20 of the Act June 25, 1948 provided that the amendment of this section should be effective as of Sept. 1, 1948.

OPERATION OF LOCAL GAME LAWS

SEC. 3. It is the purpose of sections 1 and 2 of this Act to protect from trespass the public lands of the United States and the game animals and birds which may be thereon, and not to interfere with the operation of the local game laws as affecting private, State, or Territorial lands. (Jan. 24, 1905, c. 137, § 3, 33 Stat. 614; June 29, 1906, c. 3593, § 3, 34 Stat. 607.)

HISTORICAL NOTE

Pursuant to this Act, the President established the Forest Preserve as the Wichita National Game Preserve (see Proc. 563, June 2, 1905, 34 Stat. 3062). This preserve was later renamed as the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge (see E.O. 7116 of July 26, 1935 and Proc. 2211 of November 27, 1936).
