Press Photographers And The Courtroom—Canon Thirty-Five And Freedom Of The Press, Herbert Brownell Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

At this stage in our enlightened history, no defense would seem to be necessary for securing the liberty of the press against those who would seek to impair or destroy it. We have learned from the experience of others that without a free, courageous, and vigilant press, our system of government cannot function. Fraud, corruption, and dishonesty in and out of government would flourish undetected. Injustice and indifference to the rights of the accused in the courts would thrive unchecked. Poverty, slums, and other evil conditions would go unnoticed and uncorrected. For these reasons, it has been said that next …

Why Doesn't Such-And-Such A Game Bird Do Well In Nebraska?, Levi Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Why doesn't such-and-such game bird do well in Nebraska? This is a question which is often asked field workers for the game department. The answer to such an inquiry varies with the bird in question, but in general the following applies: Since climate, topography, and natural foods vary so much from place to place, and since most individual species are not highly adaptable, nature has through the centuries evolved many species, or kinds, of birds, each species adapted to meet certain conditions. Some of these have extensive ranges; others are limited in their distribution. The conditions suited to one species …

Spring Prairie Grouse Census - 1955, Reuel Janson

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

The 1955 spring prairie grouse census was conducted during the period March 30 to May 4. Census data were obtained by means of a survey of dancing and booming grounds on 18 automobile transects.

An average population density of 4.77 sharptailed grouse, and 0.71 prairie chickens per square mile was found. Comparable data for 1954 and 1955 indicate a 10 percent decline in the combined prairie and grouse population. The prairie chicken population declined considerably more than the sharptail population.

The extreme northern portion of the grouse range, Corson and Perkins Counties, experienced population gains of approximately 50 percent which …

Mammal Observations At Lower Back River, Northwest Territories, Canada, H. L. Gunderson, W. J. Breckenridge, J. A. Jarosz

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Back River drains the interior barrens of the Northwest Territories of Canada. According to Blanchet (1930) the river has its headwaters in a high plateau and flows through a sand plain basin (not in accord with conditions of our base camp). The country north of the Back River drainage is of low relief. The river takes a northerly direction for the last one-third of its course. To the east, between the river and Wager Bay, the country is known to be very rugged.

The first known exploration of the Back River, then called the Great Fish River, was by …
