. Word has been received by the "Canadian Department of the Interior 'that W. H, B. Hoare, explorer of the 'Northwest territories and Yukon 'Branch, and Warden A. J. Knox, of Fort Smith, Northwest Territory, "have completed an examination and patrol of the southern portion of the Thelon game sanctuary east of Great Slave Lake. After a survey by dog team and canoe covering eight "months, they returned to their base near the site of old Fort Reliance on "December 13 and began preparations tor the immediate resumption of the work sod as to complete it-this year. The survey of the 15,000-square-mile game preserve was begun in April Jast year, and from that time until the 'receipt of the report, on.January 11, fio word had been received from the investigators, Police patrols and other parties passing through the areas were asked to keép watch for: the departmental party, but without results, the v/ireless message dated January 10 from Fort Stiith being the first intimation Head Office officials at Ottawa had of the movements of Hoare and Knox.

Rural credits have been tried out in sime of our prairie provinces, but with no satisfactory results, said pro- vinces, after accumulating a number of bad debts, being glad enough to shift the burden to Ottawa. Our rural credit scheme now has a Federal scope, but how it is working none' ean say, no report having come to hand so far of its benefits, or otherwise. 'We make a guess that the revolving fund of six hundred and fifty million dollars will be generously drawn upon and that the more rural credit is ex- tended the less will be done to the United States tariff, the revolving fund being a direct sort of charity and the tariff what one might call an oblique blessing. At all events, money is something everybody can under- stand and a farmer naturally things more of a dollar in hand than two dol- lars in the bush. President Hoover is a man of great courage and some day he may be bold enough to tell the farmer that the best sort of help is to help himself. But that will probably be some time after f H. 8.
