As a further dur- ing the past summer over 1,600 year- ling and two-year-old buffalo were shipped from Wainwright northward about 700 miles by and water to the Wood Buffalo Park, near Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. About 10,600 square miles of natural pasture are included in the Wood Buffalo Park, which was primarily set asidé for the protection of our wild wood buffalo herds. While it is too soon to say positively what tle outcome of this experiment "will be, " the outlook is most encouraging. Eighteen years ago it was the gen- ral opinion of naturalists and others that the buffalo was doomed to extine- tion. In 1907 the opportunity was grapsed by the Dominion government through the Department of the Interi- or, and at the end of three years the last of the 709 mmbers of the herd owned by Michael Pablo, of Montana, were, safely within the Buffalo Nation- al Park at Wainwright. During'the in- tervening sixteen years the increase in this herd was about 11,300, making with the original 709 approximately 12,000 head. About 2,000 have been slaughtered for commerclal purposes, and approximately 2,000 more shipped out in this year's experiment, trans- ferred to other parks and otherwise disposed of, leaving abcut 8,000 ani- mals at present In the Wainwright PBEM cise Qt With the future of the sbecies in Canada practically. assured, the gov- ernment is considering ways and means of utilizing its surplus animals, which through natural increase reach about 1,500 buffalo per year. This with remarkable success amd with the very small loss of only eight animals out of 1,634 shipped. Method of Shipment. The movement of the buffalo from AVainwright began in the early part cf June. Their destination was La Butte, on the Slave River, the eastern bound- ary of the 'Wood Buffalo Park. Sub- stantial corrals and loading platforms were built at Wainwrght and weekly shipments of 200 to 250 each were "made in special cars divided Into sec- tions and fitted with watering and feeding facilities. The first trainload left Wainwright on June 15 and reach- ed the end of steel at Waterway, Al- bérta, on the 17th. At this point the buffalo were placed in specially con- structed corrals, where they were watered, fed and rested for thirty-six hours. They were then reloaded on two barges aud, after an uneventful {trip down the Clearwater, Athabaska and Slave rivers, arrived at their des- tination on June 21, The buffalo were 'i released 'at the gatewey of their new home by means of an inclosed wharf and laneway, from which they raced for a few hundred yards, and then set. tled down to graze or the inviting grass before further exploration. Seven times during the summer this unique flotilla made the river journey and during the first week in August the last shipment reached the north- ern park. Since then the wardens, "| who for some years hive been guard- ing the 'wood buffalo ageinat trespass- ers, and who are now responsible for the new arrivals, hava reported that the plains and wood buffalo are ming- ling freely and that there is every prospect of complete amalgamation of the two herds. ; ae So far the -experimeént has been a marked success. However, some time must elapse before the outcome can be recorded. In the meantime indica- {| tions give ground for the beMef that the success at Wainwright will be re- peated on the banks of the Slave and Peace rivers. 0, Is ge * summer's experiment wag carried ont... . es : , fir; in your ability to do some- thing the world: needs done. from any to matters during a moment's si'ence; {fimally he turned to old lawyer. | "I have been thinking over some-: | thing 'that' might be done," he said.
