Prof, Macoun made careful obsen vations and found the flora.- of the Peace River country much like that of central Ontan'o, and of the prairie region. or an average of 200 plants noted at six diaerent points scattered over the whole territory, only sevm were observed which showed any sign of box-eel climate, and those on found also inQuebec. He concludes his remarks upon his botanical stud- ies with the observation: “The most prominent feature in the whole reg- ion .Was a. richness in the soil and mknesa of vegetation never seen In Ontario.” . Macoun quotes numerous authoritico in support of his enthusiastic views respecting the adaptability of the country to supply the needs of man. Capt. Butler in his “Wild North land” speaks of the whole hillside at St. John’s being blue with anemones as early an April 22, 1873; Sir Alex- ander Haokenzie records in his jourâ€" nal that anemones were in flower on April 20, 1793, and the Hudson Bay Col: records show that the average opening of the river in ten years at St. John’s was on April 20.

Prof. Speaking of the country between the Little SlaVe Lake and Smoky River, he says: “The last eight miles nave exceeded anything in beauty and Jertility I have seen since leaVing Ed- monton. Far as the eye could reach on the prairie, the view extended many miles, aspen copse interspersed with willows met the eye. The prairie had at one time been covered with trees, as the blackened stumps scat- tered over the ground plainly show- ed. On the grassy slopes leading down to the river I found the three flowered Geum (Geum tfifiora), the Pasque flower (Anemone Patens), and an Oxytropls (Oxyptropis splendens), in tall flower in October. Between Dunvegan and St. John's. a distance of 120 miles by land, the trail passes through many miles of beautiful farming country, alternating with spruce. aspen. <3me woods on the divide: between the various streams which flow into the Peace River." 0f the country around St. John's, Prof, Macaun says: "The whole coun- try was covered with the most lux- uriant vegetation. It would be folly to attempt to 'depict the appearance of the oouhtry. as it was so utterly beyond what I ever saw before that I “The whole country seen or heard of throughout the region in question is covered with a deep, rich soil of wonderful fertility, tree from boul- ders. an! having very few swamps or marshes. The rainfall seems to be less than that of Ontario, but this is compensated for by copious aews, which keep the grass and herbs grow- ing all summer. The clear skies and long summer days, combined with the lowering of the temperature at night, seem to give astonishing vigor to vegetable growth, and to cause grain and seeds of all kinds to be far more prolific here than farther south."

The Peale River country, comprising all the Lands drained by that river east of the Rocky Mountains, was the fifth area, with 16,000,000 acres of arable land.

A., the well-known Canadian botanist, giv- ing the result 0! his observations durâ€" ing two exploring expeditions which he made with Sir Sandiord Fleming in 1872 and in 1875, and which is filed in the records of Parliament. that gentleman divided the Canadian west into five areas, the first three embracing Manitoba, the dry. arid pastures lying between the south Sas- katchewan and the boundary, and bounded by the 103rd and 108th me- ridians, and the prairie and conse- wood country immediately surround- ing the latter. These combined areas contain 66,000,000 acres in extent, of which 39,000,000 were classed as arable.

It was also found that with the increase of latitude the altitude was much re- dmced, resulting in a correspOnding modification of climate, so that as far north as Fort Laird, in latitude 61. the summer temperature is said to be just as high as in the country along the Smoky River a: d Dunveâ€" Wonderful Fertility Hidden In Its Deep Rich Sonâ€"Invigorating cummâ€" Tho Peace River Country.

Hanson has frequently pointed out. the bears browsing in full view, when his parâ€" were used by Manson for hunting mountain sheep. They both paid with their lives the penalty of venâ€" turing too near the dying grizzly n1- ter he had been brought to the ground by the bullets of the hunters. They were literally torn to pieces by brain's big fivcrinch claws during his death struggles. This particular grimly measured 10} feet in length and had a. reach of 12 feet. Manson was never threatened by a grizzly but once in his experience oi 30 years. and, therefore. does not believe that this animal is likely to attack a man. On the contrary. the grizzly make every effort to avoid man. and to the hunter it becomes a question of stalking him.
