Have Fared Well in the New Na- tional Park at Wainwright From Four Little Bison Calves Captured in 1873 the Herd Hus Grown Until It Now Numbers 2,077. He Canadian Government fs meeting with signal success in its efforts to preserve the buffalo from the swift ex- tinction which threatened it a few years ago. This is shown In a report on the growth of the herd at Wainwright Buffalo Park, Alberta, Just issued by J. B. Harkin, Domin- | fon Parks Commissioner. The report shows that in April, 1909, the herd numbered 402, Since. then it has gradually increased at the rate of about 200 a year, until to- day it numbers 2,077. The history of this herd, now the largest in the world, dates back to 1873, when a Pend o'Reille Indian captured four little bison calves-- two bulls and 'two heifers--by cut- ting them out of a stampeded herd on the Flathead Reservation in Mon- tana. In accordance with a peculiar characteristic, often noticed by old plainsmen, these young creatures obediently followed the horses of the hunters who had slain or driven off | their mothers. The Indian in question gave them to the Mission of St. Ignatius, where they were kept as pets and became as domesticated as ordinary cattle When the heifers were four years old each had a calf. From that time on they gradually increased in number, until, in 1884, there were thirteen | head, and finding the care of them | too great a tax the mission decided | to sell them. Ten head were bought for $250 apiece by C. C. A. Allard and Michel Pablo, who were runch- ing on the reservation, and were shrewd enough to see that specimens | of what was even then almost an ex- tinet animal would eventually be- come very valuable. The herd increased under their careful supervision, and in a few years it became possible to sell spe- cimens at Ligh prices. Some idea of the average rate of increase may be deduced from the observed fact that half the cows give birth to calves every year, while twin calves are not uncommon. As a rule the bison call is a very hardy. creature. There are instances of the Pablo- Allard calves finding their feet in less than a minute after birth and showing fight within half an hour. In 1906 the' Hon. Frank Oliver, then Minister of the Interior, ob- tained for the Dominion Government an option on the 600 unsold head be- longing to Pablo and Allard, $200,000. The "round-up" lasted two months, and was carried out by 75 cowboys, horsemen picked accomplished with a loss of less than one per cent. Since it the Canadian Government, this great herd has fared well in the new Na- tional Park at Wainwright. The park is becoming a favorite resort of the traveller. It has an area of 150 square miles and is securely en- closed with a high fence of wire, Canada's Fire Loss, "In war time, and while many in- terests are urging thrift and econo- my, the Canadian people are burning up their created resources at a much greater rate this year than last," is the statement which S in a bul letin issued by the Conservative Com- mission recently. "During the first five months of 1916 the fire loss in Canada has ex ceeded that of January to May, 1915, by approximately $3,000,000, $600,000 per month," continues the bulletin. At this rate of increase our fire loss will exceed that of 1915 by $7,200,000. "Canada has need of all her finan. efal resources. She " is borrowing money to carry on the war, and {is paying 5 per cent. The additional fire would therefore pay the charge on the recent war $100,000,000, and would pay 200,000 of the principal. Canada's average annual fires loss, of over $23 000,000, would pay per cent, in- loss of 1916 a 2. Hh terest on approximately half a billion | dollars. Our fire loss is, however, some thing for which we are receiv- ing no value, either financial or pat- riotic; part to carelessness, which Canadians appear willing fo pay, and which as a whole, are doing little Kilts Order Modified, The order with regard to the Car- adian soldiers wearing kilts, as an- nounced by the Militia Department a few days ago, has been somewhat modified. The change that while the department will not put the coun- try to the extra expense of providing | kilts instead of trousers for the High- | land battalions, if the units or pri- | vate people are willing to make up the difference in cost, then the bat- talions may have kilts. However, in no case will the department provide | kilts at the country's expense in the future. They cost considerably more than trousers. While a few unils may make up the difference in cost to keep the kilts, it is expected that in the 'majerity of Highland battalions the historic dress will be superseded. Two Days Enough for Him.
