THE 'DAILY BR (From Our Own Correspendent.) April 5.--During the past two days the wind has made ravages on the fice in the St. Lawrence in front of the town and the channel is now practically open across to Grind- stone Island. In the narrow chan- nels between the islands to the east of the town there is still quite an amount left that will in some cases require the sun's action to remove. On Saturday afternoon the funeral of the late James G. Birmingham, who passed away at his home in the Front of Leeds township, near South Lake, on Thursday, in the eightieth year of his age, was held, his remains being laid in Gananoque vault. At four o'clock yesterday after- noon, Rev. W. 8. Lennon conducted a special service for men and boys over fourteen years of age, which was quite largely attended. On account of Rev. Principal Smyth, of the Wesleyan Theological College, Montreal, having to attend to duties in connection with the Mas. say Educational Commission, his col- league, Rev. Prof. W. A, Gifford, of the same educational institution, will take charge of the services in Grace church on Sunday next, when the congregation of that church will cele- brate its anniversary.

The beaver, once plentiful in that country of lakes and | forests before the Government lifted | the ban on their destruction in the| early part of 1817, is now threaten- | ed with utter extinction, due to the| insatiable desire of the Indians and | trappers for the pelts of Ammek-- | the beaver, ; The reserve, which takes in thous- ands of square miles and stretches from Boyce, north of North Bay, on the Timiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway, and runs as far north as Elk Lake City, on /the Montreal, bounds some of the finest trapping grounds | in Canada; provided that they are! nursed along and not ravaged by those whose slogan is "to-day and not to-morrow." { Such inroads have been made up-| on the beavers in the reserve that un- | less the Government puts the lid on their destruction those highly prised fur-bearing animals will become as extinct as the great auk within the confines of the reserve. It is no ex- aggeration to say that with the éx-| | ception of perhaps a few families, the beavers will be wiped clean out of the reserve under the present system of 'ten pelts for each trapper, tem pelts .for each Indian belonging to the reserve, ten for his squaw and ten for each child. | The exact number of beavers trap- ped last year in the reserve is prob- ably not known even to the Govern- ment, but in the district around Bear Island, where the Hudson Bay Com- pany has operated a post for many years, and where the skins captured by the Ojibways, who make their headquarters there, are handled, it is ! safe to say that 2,000 pelts were turn- { ed over to the "Big Company" and the free traders that do a small busi. ness '° ~re during tne trap ig season. Zhis large amount of pelts, in ad- dition tb the thousands that were | tak: . out of the northern and ex- | treme wester.u sections of the reserve | has practically sounded the death- | knell of the beaver in that section | of Ontario, and experienced trappers claim that even with a closed season of five years, it is doubtful if the beaver will ever again be plentiful | in the Temigami forest reserve. But, under any circumstances, they argue that the only possible way to bring the beaver back to the reserve is an- 'other tightening up of the game laws and proper supervision to see that | | they are enforced to the last letter. | While trapping was largely re-| sponsible for these deplorable affairs, the coupon system that the Ontario | Government put into effect with the | object of securing a bounty of 50 | cents on each pelt, is certainly not an arrangement calculated to help the | beaver propagate its race. The trap- | per pays $5 for 'his license and re- | celves ten coupons to be placed upon | the ten pelts tha: he is entitled to take out in a season. On the other. | hand, any Indian that belongs to the | | reserve does not need to take out a' | license and is permitted to kill tem | beaver for himself, ten for his squaw | and ten for each of his children. To make matters better, or worse, as the case may be, race suicide is not | | popular among the "haughty red-| { men," | This system might not be of such | a devastating nature if adhered to, | but, of course, there is a "nigger in | the woodpile." Free traders put the | coupons on the skins bartered by the Indians. It means that the Indians | can kill as many as they like, as| there is only the trader to check them | up and he is not going to "pass any- | thing by." If also leaves another | | loophole in the law, by which the | trapper can take his furs to the trad- | | or, who will put Indian coupons on | them. Then the trapper can go back | to the bush with his ten original | coupons intact. He can repeat this | as many times as he is fortunate | | enough to secure ten pelts, and then | finish up the season by bringing out | another ten pelts, on which he places his own coupons. | Many beavers are also purchased { direct from the Indians by tourists and hunters, and this helps to swell the killing. The Government loses | its bounty of 50c on these pelts, and | the trapper in many cases sell§ for i more than he would have secured | had he turned the pelts over to the | Hudson 'Bay Company or the free traders.
